Our foreign policy of death & destruction in distant (and not so distant) lands outweighs our pretend goodwill...that is what causes a 9-11 my friends. You can keep looking externally and blame every other country out there...but, until you turn and look inward, you are not going to find the cause of the real problem. Peace to all.

The whole 9/11 investigation was a cover-up from the start

Cheney and Bush opposed the creation of commission to look into the crimes

The money trail was never followed

And these comments below

CBC video interview transcript regarding Without Precedent a book about the 9/11 Commission authored by Chairman Thomas Kean and Vice-Chairman Lee Hamilton 8/21/06:

Lee Hamilton: I don%u2019t believe for a minute that we got everything right. We wrote a first draft of history. ... People will be investigating 9/11 for the next hundred years in this country, and they%u2019re going to find out some things that we missed here.

Evan Solomon:
The first chapter of the book is

''the Commission was set up to fail.''

Former Chief of NIST''s Fire Science Division Calls for Independent Review of World Trade Center Investigation

More evidence of Pre-9/11 Inside Trading: Follow the Money? God forbid
Why was the cashing out of billions of dollars just before 9/11 never investigated?

It''s not a question of rebutting you. Frankly, words are wasted on you. I''ve seen people show you the error of your ways before---and it does no good. Because no matter how correct the other person is, no matter how they shred your assertions into pieces---it does NO good. YOU have made a commitment to partisan politics, you have made a commitment to being wrong! NO ONE is going to persuade you. YOU won''t be persuaded. Now, you can call that anything you like, but I call it dim-witted or slow. But I mean it as a statement of fact, based on your actions, I don''t mean it as an insult. You are a hate monger who doesn''t want to learn or change! I won''t waste anymore of my time on you, you''re not worth
it!

The enemy that has killed thousands of innocent civilians in most countries on earth shows no allegiance to ANY SPECIFIC COUNTRY. The terrorists that attacked New York represented an IDEOLOGY called RADICAL ISLAM not Saudi Arabia.

We should have bombed the Saudis after 9/11, but the Bush''''s family business didn''''t permit that.
The burden of proof in this case is higher than for other people. So much for going after terrorists, when it''''s inconvenient.

You are an idiot. I bet you would argue that we should not have gone into Iraq. But here you are spouting ignorance over this issue. The Saudi''s had nothing to do with 9/11. any contention that they did is total fabrication.

You are one of the biggest America haters posting on this web site! YOU have contributed to the death and destruction going on by: 1. failing to recognize what''s really going on, 2. who''s REALLY behind it, and 3. what both the short and long-term costs will be, and 4. by continuing to spew your hatred for America, Muslims, real Americans (not you), and the freedoms that real Americans have!

You and your kind wouldn''t know the enemy if he was wearing a sign and standing right in front of your face! Further, you and your fellow Fascists better get the ''crying towels'' ready, because unless the voting machines are rigged again, you''re perverted, crooked political leaders are on the way OUT! Praise the Lord!

stn_stage, how has your critisism of America while turning a blind eye to the chaos radical Islam has terrorized the world with been helpful to the effort to fight this plague or helpful to the VOLUNTEER army trying to defeat this evil? It is beyond comprehension that a true American would side with the enemy out of politics! You people will reap what you sow in Nov. which should be quite a surprise for you America haters like yourself.

American hating Democrats continue to blame America for Islamic extremism, a better allie and propoghandist mouthpiece the terorists could have never hoped for. In fact the lib talking points mirror the terorist propoghanda almost word for word.

You America hating rightwing RepubliCON nutjobs, ought to get on boats and go down to Cuba where you belong!

For 7 1/2 years, you and your deranged leader have been running America into the dirt! Causing nothing but hate, death, and destruction. In the process, you''ve managed to betray the real Republican party, America, and finally God almighty!

No one cares what you idiots have to say anymore. We ought to have the next war right here in America, everyone against the GOP! That will end the problems for good!

This leave no doubt that the Bush Administration supports terrorism.

You''re ABSOLUTELY correct about this! Nineteen (19) of the 21 terrorists were Saudi, they even knew monies were going to terrorists for these criminal acts, but they''re NOT responsible?! BALONEY!

At the very least, they are guilty of aiding and abetting for giving aid and comfort to them while they conducted any of their pre-attack planning and training in Saudi Arabia!

IF Bush should have attacked any country in the M.E. over 911, it should have been Saudi Arabia NOT Iraq!

The Saudi''s had more to do with 9/11 than Saddam. That is an undeniable fact.

"The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the defendants were protected by sovereign immunity and the plaintiffs would need to prove that the princes engaged in intentional actions aimed at U.S. residents."

Talk about slapping every American in the face. How much money has Saudi Arabia and big oil made since the terrorist attacks, thanks to the help of Bush/Cheney and criminals. It is quite apparent who had the motive to commit the act, as they say, follow the money. I think an independent investigation should be done into the connections between this court, the administration, and the Saudi monarchy.

Treason in the courts.

Samuel3 has it backwards: First came the 9/11 attack. In delayed response came the attack on the Taliban in Afganistan.
But if the Saudi''s were not involved in any way with the 9/11 attack, they should have known where their children were on that date because 19 of the attackers were Saudis.

The Saudi''s had nothing to do with that tragedy. I think we all know that.

I think the families of all those innocent women & children that have died in the Iraqi (and in Afghanistan)war should sue Bush himself for the attrocities that our American servicemen have commited against them. (and yes there have been plenty of them.) And also the families of those held by the U.S. that are currently being detained (without any due process) and tortured by the U.s. That is the lawsuit i would like to see go through the courts.
