On Enabling Behaviors And Useful Idiots

Or: The trouble with asshats. Because of the lies, distortions, stupidity and vitriolic hatred that the 9/11 "truthers" are spreading worldwide, we as a nation are becoming less and less safe. As this mass psychosis spews its infectious pus like a lanced boil across the rest of the world, those who hate us are emboldened. By enabling these enemies, the useful idiots raise the world's anger and hatred against us.

Chavez did not specifically accuse the U.S. government of having a hand in the Sept. 11 attacks, but rather suggested that theories of U.S. involvement bear examination.

The Venezuelan leader, an outspoken critic of U.S. President George W. Bush, was reacting to a television report investigating a theory that the Twin Towers were brought down with explosives after hijacked airplanes crashed into them in 2001.

"The hypothesis is not absurd . . . that those towers could have been dynamited," Chavez said in a speech to supporters. "A building never collapses like that, unless it's with an implosion."

"The hypothesis that is gaining strength . . . is that it was the same U.S. imperial power that planned and carried out this terrible terrorist attack or act against its own people and against citizens of all over the world," Chavez said.

"Why? To justify the aggressions that immediately were unleashed on Afghanistan, on Iraq."

Chavez has said the U.S. launched those wars to ensure its political and economic power.

The U.S. government says al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden masterminded the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

"A plane supposedly crashed into the Pentagon, but no one ever found a single remnant of that plane," Chavez said, citing a television program he had seen on Venezuela's state television.

Despite the fact that the assertion of no wreckage at the Pentagon is a complete and utter bald-faced lie. As can be seen here on a site that has photos of the airplane wreckage from that day. I am thoroughly disgusted by these "truthers". I am extremely angry that they are endangering all of us with their insanity and mendacity.
