(3,491 posts)Sorry, I'm one person that is not buying it and would like to see a new investigation into 911 to really get at the truth. Most countries outside of the US do not believe that the official 911 story is accurate.

(14,912 posts)Bin Laden says he wasn't behind attacks
AFGHANISTAN
September 16, 2001
Islamic militant leader Osama bin Laden, the man the United States considers the prime suspect in last week's terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, denied any role Sunday in the actions believed to have killed thousands.
In a statement issued to the Arabic satellite channel Al Jazeera, based in Qatar, bin Laden said, "The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it.
"I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons," bin Laden's statement said.

(3,491 posts)many of us know it. You can believe whatever you want, but 911 has never and probably will never be explained properly. I will never let this issue dye until I do, cause many innocent people perished at the hands of some and some of us want to know why?

(3,491 posts)me. There are so many unanswered questions with respect to 911 that have not and probably never will be answered unless we get a new independent investigation.
TheWraith

(30,439 posts)I'm not saying Bin Laden wasn't behind it, but someone claiming credit for a crime doesn't necessarily mean they did it. Also, just because a lot of people believe something to be true, it doesn't mean it is.
I think what opened the Pandora's Box to the conspiracy theorists was the immediate aftermath of 911 and the Bush Administration is responsible for the conspiracies floating around IMO. They pointed the finger at Bin Laden in the immediate aftermath of 911, BEFORE Bin Laden claimed credit.
Well, what evidence was the Bush Administration referring to when they insisted it was him in the immediate aftermath? They connected him to the hijackers almost immediately, before any videos came out where he claimed credit. That was a major mistake IMO. The Bush Administration should have kept their mouths shut about who done it until it was the right time to say so.
Just my two cents.

(3,491 posts)Many others out there I know agree with me, but I am not hopeful that we will ever see either a new investigation or justice for the crimes that were committed. However, I will never give up hope that some day the truth will come out.
Sorry to those that happened upon this OP unexpected and were subjected to this discussion.
My thanks also to the Host's that allowed this OP to remain alive, and Juror's who did not hide any posts.

(82 posts)the argument isn't whether Obama saved GM or Romney would have doomed it. The argument is about process and fairness. Their is a process of bankruptcy, their's a fairness that all businesses are subject to it.
In the end what happened.
First off, GM got a lot smaller.
Hummer, Pontiac, Saturn and before them Oldsmobile are all gone. Buick is an Opel.
Probably would have happened either way.
And It cost money. I don't think anyone will know for sure if we made the 13b as projected in 2010 or the 50b loss projected in 2011.
(cut and paste)Probably would have happened either way.
Meanwhile, Chrysler was brokered to the UAW and Fiat. In fact without President Obama, who knows, maybe the Fiat 500 isn't for sale in America right now.
But hey, thats cool if you're into that.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)The remains of GM would have gone to the financial hyenas. There was no private money to keep it as a going concern under normal bankruptcy.
Mason Dixon
(82 posts)First, TARP
I know I remember reading and listening to all those stories about banks sitting on money, but not lending it.
Second, TARP
The banks would had moved if the bailout wasn't stringless
Third, TARP
Well the NY Fed anyway, would have been the ultimate backer. Turns out they were anyway When TG got the top job. Who know's maybe that saved money.
My response to the OP is that GM probably would have come out looking about the same that it is, but it shouldn't have been considered too big to fail.
Plus I don't like the idea of the gov't owning a defense contractor. They don't just build cars you know. And they don't just build them in North America.
Its too complex of a company for the any President to be Chairman of the Board. And as GM largest stock holder that's exactly what President Obama is. The first thing he did was replace the CEO. Who else but the chairman can do that? And if the company's success is evidenced by profits, what's the POTUS doing to insure those profits and at what expense of some other private business?
Like giving the VOLT a 10k tax credit. Let me say that again: 10 thousand dollars back to you from the Chairman of the board.
Do any FORD hybrid vehicles enjoy that benefit?
