Who Believes 9/11 Was an Inside Job?

Why do people think 9/11 was an "inside job" based on the way the towers collapsed or building 7? What was the motive in "faking" the collapses, instead of just making them REAL by crashing more planes into them(if they were "fake" in the first place)? After a very short time of thinking, the whole "inside job" theory sounds stupid to me. I am open to an intelligent discussion on the subject though.

  • Of course it wasn't an inside job. You know how many people would know about it if it was? Thousands. There is no way that it was an inside job, and anyone who says it is is a nutjob.

      This chick from a history class I took did. She was arguing with the professor about it. She was hot, though.

      • Some people like to blame the government over anything. Even a contaminated well.

      • For once, OP has actually posted something that wasn't false and stupid. 9/11 was an inside job. The explosion fires from the plane hitting were not hot enough to melt the metal structure of the buildings causing them to collapse. And why would Bush take special care to fly the Bin Laden family (what were they doing there in the first place?) out of the U.S. into Afghanistan? Coincidences? I think not. Saying 9/11 wasn't an inside job is like saying the Kennedy Assassination wasn't faked.

      • Technically speaking, 9/11 is by defintion an inside job. But not in the way you think.The sad truth of it is in the 1970s we funded the Mujahideen of Afghanistan (Radical Islamists, though it wasn't an issue at the time) to go against the pro-Soviet Afgani regime. Our efforts were successful and the Russian troops sent in were expelled. HOWEVER, when the conflict was over, we simply pulled out. We left a power vacuum a mile wide that was filled with: YOU GUESSED IT! The Taliban. Osama Bin Laden was one of the Jihad leaders during the period. Considering the ties we had the Bin Laden family (They're a inner family of the Saudi Oil Barons), Osama Bin Laden was initially pro-American during this period. However, we all know who the Islamic radicalist focus turned on next. :( So in reality, we did help develop the situation that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. (And it's also ironic we supported Sadam Hussein as a stable dictator during the same period of time to protect our oil interests) Alas history, we reap what we sow.

        • The only "evidence" so far from truthers is mostly circumstantial. Ex.. Bush knew about it before and didn't act, invasion of Iraq. There is no evidence that the Trade Towers collapsed due to a controlled demolition.

        • I think that they were not inside jobs. But the government withheld certain pieces of information that would have made them look inept.

        • The Pentagon incident is very strange IMO. The pilot failed his training, it crashed in to the only part of the building that was empty, they only released 4 pictures of the crash when there were several videos.

        • My father is an expert on Terrorism and considered an authority in the field. According to him to assume it was an "Inside Job" is bat shit crazy. Terrorism Expert > Internet Conspiracy Theorist

          • Throughout history, every major catastrophe was considered "an inside job". I've noticed a trend in the people I know in real life that believe 9/11 was a conspiracy: They are arrogant, opinionated, and misinformed on the subject. Others are just extremely gullible and saw one or two YouTube videos. Not trying to insinuate anything, just an observation I've made.

          • Pretty sure information came out saying the CIA told Bush that Bin Laden was going to attack soon and he did nothing. Just like how FDR supposedly knew about Pearl Harbor and didn't do anything.

                  I find that there is just too many loose ends and coincidences left in the aftermath to confidently voice my support for either side.

                    • Why it was not a conspiracy to invade the Middle East and get oil. Expected Oil Revenue - (Cost of recruitment and acquisitions + cost of deployment + cost of occupation + cost of reconstruction + cost of debt to fund aforementioned costs) = Net Loss.

                      • It could have been. Only an idiot would believe everything they hear and not have any doubts despite the claims against it.

                          • This is why humanity is doomed. People are just stupid because they think every tragedy was an inside job. It's sad that so many people actually believe in this crap to.

                                • The fact that documentaries like Loose Change exist proves that it wasn't an inside job.
