I vote close the thread to prevent more pwnage by Redibis. It's becoming an embarrassment.
In case we don't close the thread, I have several more legitimate questions:
How could Bin Laden be so stupid to plan something like this for years and lay the success of the mission at the feet of Hotdog Hani 'Yeager' Hanjour and a few supposed boxcutters? What am I missing here? Doesn't anyone think (especially the would-be hijackers) that this would be a ridiculous plan? How many volunteers did Bin Laden have to go through to find 20 supposed hijackers that would agree to attempt something so utterly stupid?
Below is a tiny bit of the evidence we have for bin Laden and the 19 Arab Islamist hijackers. Anything you say has to be considered in the light of this information.
Much of what you say shows that you don't know how the 911 plan came together. It was done in a few month. The bombing of the USS Cole (Oct 2000) failed to produce the desired results so ObL planned an escalation.

the USS Cole. Some of these names were known to the FBI even before
9/11/2001 for their crimes.

We have the audio of Arabs on the recovered cockpit voice recorders.
The CVR clearly captured the words of the hijackers, including
words in Arabic from the microphone in the pilot headset up to the
end of the flight. The hijackers' statements, the clarity of the
recording, the position of the microphone in the pilot headset, and
the corresponding manipulations of flight controls provide the
evidence. The quotes are taken from our listening to the CVR, aided
by an Arabic speaker.

Bin Laden Is Said to Be at Center of Loose Web
By John-Thor Dahlburg
January 13, 2000 in print edition A-1
...
U.S. and European authorities say that at the center of this web,
which has been loosely spun from the Philippines to North America,
is Saudi militant Osama bin Laden. A former Afghan moujahedeen, or
holy warrior, the 43-year-old Bin Laden is on the FBI's
10-most-wanted list for allegedly sponsoring the 1998 bombings of
the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people.
In a development indicative of Bin Laden's esteem among his brothers
in arms, after the United States succeeded in obtaining a
U.N. Security Council resolution in October demanding Bin Laden's
extradition from Afghanistan, GIA leader Antar Zouabri issued a
letter that condemned the West for persecuting Islamic militants and
that vowed reprisals.
French officials said Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian national arrested
Dec. 14 in Washington state on suspicion of plotting a bombing in
the United States, received his military training at one of Bin
Laden's camps in eastern Afghanistan.
According to the French, the 33-year-old North African belonged to
the "Roubaix gang," a band of armed robbers of Algerian, Bosnian and
French origin who trained in Islamic camps in Bosnia-Herzegovina and
carried out a series of holdups in Belgium and northern France in
early 1996.
Judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, one of France's top anti-terrorism
investigators, says a flexible, diffuse and worldwide structure
makes Muslim extremism a growing problem that demands more intense
cross-border cooperation.
In the space of one month, the French judge's investigations took
him as far afield as Canada and Australia.
"The Islamic extremist threat is the Internet of terrorism,"
Bruguiere said.

coming weeks will hold important surprises that will target American
and Israeli interests in the world."
June 22nd, 2001: The US State Department issued a "Worldwide Caution"

organization as possible sources for the threat.

...The third and "ultimate objective," according to Al Adl, (*)
"was to prompt [the United States] to come out of its hole." Al Adl
claims that Al Qaeda wanted to provoke the United States into
attacking areas of the Islamic world associated with the
organization and its affiliates. In doing so, Al Adl claims, Al
Qaeda hoped to make it easier to attack elements of U.S. power and
to build its "credibility in front of [the Islamic] nation and the
beleaguered people of the world."
Al Adl and others have conceded that the attacks on New York and
Washington were not totally successful, while arguing that the
September 11 attack "was enough to prompt the Americans to carry
out the anticipated response" - namely direct military action
within the Islamic world.
...In December 2004, Bin Laden identified the conflict in Iraq as "a
golden and unique opportunity" for jihadists to engage and defeat
the United States, and he characterized the insurgency in Iraq as
the central battle in a "Third World War, which the Crusader-Zionist
coalition began against the Islamic nation." 24

Nineteen hijackers died on 9/11. What should be done with what's

From the magazine issue dated Jan 12, 2009
...Through a combination of innovative DNA-mapping techniques, help
from the FBI's crime lab and dumb luck, the scientists have now ID'd
four of the 10 New York hijackers. The remains of the nine hijackers
from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crash sites have also been
confirmed; six other hijackers have yet to be identified. ...

New York Newsday article from 9/23/01.
"Despite Hanjour's poor reviews, he did have some ability as a
pilot, said Bernard of Freeway Airport. "There's no doubt in
my mind that once that [hijacked jet] got going, he could
have pointed that plane at a building and hit it," he said."
Most of the complaints that I've seen were that he couldn't
land well. Considering what he was planning on doing, I
wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't exactly the top of his
"skills to hone" list.
