Is this some kind of meta-joke? What does Saddam have to do with 9/11?

over_clox@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 19:49 next collapse

This is not at all a joke.

Saddam Hussein orchestrated the 9/11 attack.

This isn’t even funny, please educate yourself.

Do you realize that the damaged area of the Pentagon was way smaller than the plane that supposedly hit it?

You should make a video about this and put it on YouTube and let us know when you’re done.

Use all your data

Do you realize that planes aren’t as structurally sound as a FUCKING BUILDING?

dellish@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 22:03 next collapse

Dafaq? Saddam had nothing to do with it, and a vast majority of the world knew that at the time. That’s why the bullshit WMD story was circulated as an excuse to attack, and still most of the world was dubious at best.

TeddE@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 22:16 collapse

Are you conflating Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein, for whom as summarized by wikipedia:

In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq, falsely accusing him of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda.

Unless you have that evidence the world was looking for I don’t want to spread old, debunked propaganda.

over_clox@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 22:25 next collapse

Oh please, Obama wasn’t even on the scene when I got the info on Osama, I definitely know the difference.

TeddE@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 22:56 collapse

Can you cite where Saddam is involved in 9/11? Again, it’s generally accepted history that the Bush Administration claimed he supported the attacks, never presented evidence he was involved, then later admitted he was not involved.

My data is before the mass erase.

Legit info, and I’m sure that’s not all…

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 12 Sep 03:19 collapse

LOL The 9/11 Commission Report? Really?

The July 2004 9/11 Commission Report addressed a possible conspiracy between the government of Iraq and al-Qaeda in the September 11 attacks. The report addressed allegations of contacts between al-Qaeda and members of Saddam Hussein’s government and concluded that there was no evidence that such contacts developed into a collaborative relationship, and they did not cooperate to commit terrorist attacks against the United States.[18][97]

Maybe check out all the reports on this list, my friend: …wikipedia.org/…/Saddam_Hussein_and_al-Qaeda_link…

over_clox@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 03:47 collapse

I don’t trust any information about this subject, even my own info. It’s all very prone to misinformation, propaganda, and general manipulation.

But of all sources you’d suggest, Wikipedia?

You gotta be shitting me. My sources are between the GAO (Government Accountability Office) and a hefty data dump of early years of Wikileaks.

Anyways, yeah I have plenty enough reason to not trust currently available information, it’s all probably been cherry picked and edited to hell and back for the modern narrative.

I have much more original information.

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 12 Sep 03:53 next collapse

“Trust me bro.”

over_clox@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 04:03 collapse

I just got done saying that I don’t trust any info on this subject, even the huge archive I inherited from my late father.

But I’m more inclined to trust the data from my late father, before many documents conveniently got edited, blacked out or just became missing.

Anyways, I don’t care what anyone thinks or can or cannot prove about Hussein, it’s perfectly normal to hide in a hole in the ground if you’ve done nothing wrong…

Oh wait…

TeddE@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 14:59 collapse

I’m not trusting any external source here. I grew up under the Bush presidency and simply remember the whole fiasco.

Bush and friends invented the link to justify their prior war plans, when pushed to prove there was a connection, Bush failed to produce evidence.

You’re implying Bush (or … someone?) had the evidence that would have vindicated him, but rather than share it, deliberately buried it and successfully hid it from the whole world?

You do realize that reads like you’re off your meds.

I work in IT. There have definitely been several attacks on the quality of information available to the general public in the last few decades, but none that I would qualify as a singular “the”

Could you be more specific on which attack (or by whom) you’re referring to?

skisnow@lemmy.ca on 12 Sep 15:09 collapse

I think they’re just doing a bit. Nobody is actually that dumb.

TeddE@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 15:57 collapse

I think they’re a person who’s honestly in a dark place.

I think they’re objectively wrong about the ‘Saddam being linked to 9/11’ thing, and I worry that they’ve been a bit lost in their own head a bit.

The idea that data was deleted isn’t meritless in the sense that between enshittification and Musk’s tech bros there’s good reason to believe censorship and destruction have occurred recently (and they’re only the latest in a long line of maliciously maligned actors).

But I agree that their posts are so ridiculously textbook schizophrenic, that I do wonder if it’s an act. Yet, nonetheless it costs me little to be kind. 😅

Also, that document was first archived in August 2013, not 2006, not 2001
