Richard Clarke and the CIA monitoring of 9/11 hijackers

[little grey rabbit]

I am actually a no-planer, so as far as I am concerned the hijackers are nothing more than red herrings, whose role it was to loudly prance around the States in early 2001, taking flight simulator courses (but emphatically saying they didn't want to learn how to take off or land), leaving Korans in strip clubs and other harmless but attention seeking pranks.

However, I realise most JREFers profess in the Arabs hiding in caves hypothesis, as such I would be interested to know what they think of claims by Richard Clarke that the CIA knew about the hijackers in the USA and even tried to recruit them

Clarke’s theory addresses a central, enduring mystery about the 9/11 attacks— why the CIA failed for so long to tell the White House and senior officials at the FBI that the agency was aware that two Al Qaeda terrorists had arrived in the United States in January 2000, just days after attending a terrorist summit meeting in Malaysia that the CIA had secretly monitored.

True or woo?

 

[little grey rabbit]

Oh yeah, and pranks like handing their passport to the police on 9/10 so that the it could be "found" in the rubble.

I am actually a no-brainer,

"I am actually a no planer..." tells me all I need to know about the intellectual rigor of this post/poster. No need to read further for anything other than comic relief.

No planers are considered morons even by most truthers.

Well I guess there were some kind of planes, just none with passengers on them.

Its called a signal to noise problem..........do you need me to explain what that is?

It's statements like this that make me uncharacteristically agree with most truthers about something: no planers.

Why do truthers insist on this whole racist "Arabs hiding in caves" thing? Mohammed Atta was a PhD candidate in architecture. If he were still alive he would be one of the most qualified people in AE911truth, yet you don't continuously talk about Richard Gage hiding in a cave.

Elementary:
Because deep down, Troofers are racists.

How anti-intellectual are you aiming for? Dirt dumb stupid, or dumber than a box of rocks? Do I need to apologize to rocks, dirt, or both?

I don't believe they're racists.

I believe they live inside a Hollywood fiction world view construct, and the bad guys never win in Hollywood - if they do win a small victory, they're fully sorted out with 120 minutes at most.

Just apoligize to geologists and call it a day.

Seems to me that truthers live in something resembling "Arlington Road"

where not only did the bad guys get away with it, they managed to land the blame squarely on the good guy as well

Which begs the question, why go to all that trouble. pay some desperate thugs to steal planes and...........

Or this one. Totally hilarious.

Atta wants to borrow 650,000 from a bank to buy a crop duster. While there he jokes about cutting the bank lady's throat,and wants to buy a picture off the wall- an aerial view of Washington. He wants to visit the WTC and wonders how good the security there is.
He was obvioously keeping his head down. Didn't want to attract attention.

Just in case anyone takes him seriously, LGR is an admitted troll:

I don't really mind one way or the other. But on a personal note, it will be a very sad day indeed when I can't get people online hopping mad by saying "The Illuminati did it" or tell them about the One True Crematorium at Birkenau

Well, I believe I can get people hopping mad.

That's the only reason he posts here at all. Right, bs?

The man later crashed an airliner full of people into the WTC and you expect him to behave rationally

I always look at the content of people's posts first. If it's good than I couldn't care less what label you give him.
