Наоборот -- я думаю, что вы попугайничаете те же самые аргументы, которые наши американские "Troofers" предлагали уже с 12-го сентября, 2001 г. If I had hoped to hear some truly new, genuinely interesting, and originally Russian version of "9/11 Conspiracy Theories", your performance was very disappointing!Originally Posted by Marcus
To take these briefly:
(1) Greatly overestimates the power and intelligence and overall competence of the CIA -- at best, there is often a lot of "pure guessing" involved in Intelligence work. At the same time, this argument underestimates the flexibility and ingenuity and other advantages of a very decentralized guerilla network.
(2) If a shipment of illegal alcohol was discovered in 1930s Chicago, police would have immediately named Al Capone -- not because the police "сразу знали" that Capone was truly guilty, but because Capone had a long career of activity that made him a very logical suspect. In Bin Laden's case, he had been on the FBI's "Top 10 Most Wanted" list at least since 1998, after he personally claimed credit for the US Embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya.
(3) "которые волшебным способом уцелели" -- An enormous quantity of paper materials, cloth, and other easily-burned materials from the airplanes and from offices in the WTC survived the fiery crashes of the two airplanes, and the collapses of the two towers. I've personally seen photographs that were taken on the streets after the two airplanes hit, but before the buildings collapsed -- one could clearly see intact items like shoes, eyeglasses, handbags, books, airplane magazines, and other items, along with airplane engines and wheels, etc. And personal papers/documents belonging to passengers or flight crew (such as drivers' licenses and plane tickets) were recovered along with the passport of "Satam al-Suqami", one of the Saudi Arabian terrorists. So no sort of "волшебство" was necessary. Furthermore...
(4) ...if the US deliberately planned the 9/11 attacks because the Bush Administration needed a casus belli as an excuse to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn't it have been чуть-чуть по-логичнее to tell the public that the hijackers were Iraqis and Afghanis, and to "magically" find an Iraqi passport at the WTC site, instead of a Saudi passport?
On this last point, actually, I agree with you, at least partly: On the basis of the 11 September attacks that were planned and carried out by probably fewer than 100 Muslim conspirators (the hijackers, the top-level bosses, and the middlemen), the US did indeed work hard to create a mythologized "global jihad" under the umbrella term of "Al Qaeda". And every act of violence by Muslims against non-Muslims anywhere in the world (Bali, London, Madrid, Beslan, southern Thailand...) was attributed to Al-Qaeda, and taken as proof of a "global jihad", when the reality is that many of these attacks were by independent groups motivated by very localized grievances.
However, to argue that the US government seized an opportunity by politically exploiting the 9/11 terror attacks after the fact, and by engaging in myth-creation and propaganda after the fact, is utterly different from arguing that the US government planned the attacks before the fact.
