i reckon these conspiracy theories are mainly attractive to the couch potato who's unable / unwilling to venture out into the real world

You would definitely not fit in to the couch potato category. I'm sure you've helped a lot of couch potatoes though.

I know muslim terrorists were to blame, but the collapse of WTC-7 does look very much like a controlled demolition.

Controlled demolition would be preferable, over uncontrolled

I am beginning to think the US government got al-Qaeda to do a controlled demolition.

Muslim terrorists living in caves thousands of miles away, there is not a definitive single piece of evidence linking bin laden to 9/11, al-Queda offered to hand bin laden over to the US but wanted proof first, Bush had zero proof!
It was a controlled demolition on WTC7.
WTC-6 is talking point regarding damage!

On the first line it's says "suspected mastermind"
I say again, zero factual proof.

Not taking about proof, you talk them down as being poor cave men. (Read the bit in bold from my previous post)

Likewise, as there isn't a single piece of evidence linking it to the US government, where does that leave us?

Al Qaeda never offered to hand over Bin Laden, but the Taliban did. As nutty as the Taliban are, they knew the US would come after him and I imagine that offer was through self preservation rather than anything else.

There is no evidence of a controlled demolition, except a few quotes taken out of context or misunderstood, and conspiracy theorists not understanding what happened, and blindly refusing to believe the explanations because it doesn't fit a conspiracy.

I think it's pretty clear that what transpired on the day is true. The only question, I think, that could possibly not be unequivocal is who. I believe it was Muslim terrorists, I dno't see why the US govt would do it, what they would gain, it's too hard to keep secret.

Occam's razor.

Did I just read that right, you want actual factual proof? It's a conspiracy conjured up by the US Government to blame OBL.

what WAS downplayed was the fact that they were not just "Muslim" terrorists

but "Saudi" Muslim terrorists - that must have been a blow to the narrative Bush et al wanted to portray in the immediate aftermath of 911 -

the links between Bush and the House of Saud are pretty clear - and documented

as Al Gore would say an "inconvenient truth"

'Joined at the hip' is the term that springs to mind Hodgy. If you put George Bush and King Abdullah in to Google image search you'll be surprised at the result.

I'm dubious. There seems to be too many inconsistencies and lack of hard evidence. We are being asked to believe an account from a source not renowned for it's honesty.

The Twin Towers are still there - the whole thing was a hoax filmed in a studio in the Nevada Desert, on the orders of Prince Philip.

Excuse me, I meant the Taliban.
I'm pretty sure John Kerry and Silverstein separately admitted the fall of wtc-7 was a controlled demolition or pull for safety reasons? How can those quotes be misunderstood?

I think overall there is probrarly more independent evidence supporting the theories that 911 was an inside job than osama's men, if not maybe 50/50?

What evidence, I have not seen you give one bit of evidence just a load of waffle


Unless you mean a bloke in his garden with too much time on his hands, a chemistry set and an angle grinder or someone using the term "pull"

Which been thoroughly debunked

Gives us some actual evidence - surely there is some if all the building were rigged for explosives
