Starting Over Talk

Heh.. for every expert Rosie can hand select to confirm her opinion... we can find another that can refute it. That's the beauty of conspiracies. Just twisting facts and numbers, placing flood lights on certain facts and throwing smoke on other facts.... just enough to guide people to possibilities. Get high profile people in on it and convinced... get a book published with nice juicy possibilities.. and you got a nation wide movement on it.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology did a 3 year study of the World Trade Center that was concluded in 2006.
Here is the FAQ for the investigation The National Institute of Standards and Technology's study of the World Trade Center FAQ


... ooo but then again it's a government agency (like NASA and NIH) anyways... you never know.. they might be twisting the facts to cover up Pres Bush's evil plan on WWIII... and to take over the oil fields all over the world for his own personal riches (insert suspense music here)...

Thanks for sharing - now that I've calmed down I realize that Rosie IS using this show as her personal forum.

I really don't believe, and never have, that there were bombs in the planes; I believe that they could go down with the fuel in the plane alone, along with the stuctural damage it would do but I was prepared to offer ANY possiblity other than it was an inside job.

You're right KPW, this was planned during the previous administrations watch and normally it wouldn't be such an issue but people like Rosie are provoking us to go "left" and "right" instead of just focusing on the issue...No one wants to be at war and we all want out as soon as possilbe, but in the right way. It does no good to constantly criticize and not offer positive solutions. We need to stick together more than ever now.

I know Barbara isn't going to allow much more of this. I don't think I can take it and I think some people are getting pretty sick of it.
Talk about "hot topics" by all means, but let other people (Elizabeth) voice their opinions or you're going to lose some viewers.

My blood pressure just skyrocketed when Rosie basically accused our government of being responsible for 9/11. She said she will bring on "experts" from Yale and Harvard and other (uber liberal) universities to confirm that "buildings made of steel don't fall down from airplanes"...well, excuse me miss peanut brain but if the airplanes have BOMBS on board brought through luggage checked by terrorists, (or who knows, carried on at that point - remember we weren't very careful about screening then and we see all kinds of things going through security nowadays) then of course they could bring down a building.

Does this knucklehead not realize that Osama Bin Laden's family business is development/architechture of huge skyscrapers and that he, of all people, knows how to BRING THEM DOWN??

Strangely, I tried to send an email to Barbara, Elisabeth and Rosie and could not get through to any of them, due to "techincal errors".
Sure. I'm sure they're tired of hearing from people because of all the controversy they stir up but I am now absolutely determined not to grace my tv dial with The View another day.

Does anyone agree with me or am I, like Elisabeth, the only one left who believes we are fighting a war on terror?

I don't know about there being bombs on board those planes.. I guess that is possible but screening wasn't done then like it is now. But both those planes had just taken off and were huge planes...FULL of fuel. I'm sure the fireball created instability within the structure and once the top part of the building was weakened in the middle... it took the rest of it with it.. I think they were lucky they got out as many people as they did.. I would have thought any bombs going off would have gone off at the time of impact not a couple hours later..

They said that that attack had been in the works for about 5 years... Back during Clinton's watch... Bush had only been in office less than 9 months when 9/11 occurred.

She is beginning to use the show to push her own agenda.. She really has a very hateful demeanor if she gets into one of her spiels.. The panel should be able to discuss politics without vehemence.. We are where we are... Nobody likes war... and I hope we can get out of there as soon as possible. Hindsight is always 20/20...

KPW... I must agree with your post... from what I have read and/or seen on news programs... the buildings did come down as you described it. I also agree that Rosie does have a hateful demeanor when she has a strong opinion and it's hard to hear her because of the disrespect she shows towards other opinions. Everyone is en_title_d to their opinion... right or wrong, but to turn on someone because their opinion is different that your own is just not condusive to an adult exchange of ideas... shame... hot topics can be very informative.
