No one knew in 2001. Unless, of course, Bush and his cronies are time travelers.Posted via VolNation Mobile

You asked this question:

Or they did know about the Lithium (or at least had reason to believe there was Lithium) and didn't tell anybody. That's a lot more likely than time travel. Personally, I hate Bush but I don't think he went to Afghanistan for Lithium, but I don't know.

And there's still Opium.

Right. The West had people throughout Afghanistan while the Taliban was running the show.

A spade is a spade and you are a still a moron.

And how would this secret knowledge of lithium have been obtained?

Bush went for the dope.

You don't argue without insults. It's very juvenile for somebody who thinks so much of himself intellectually.

When you introduced absolute nonsense to the discussion it no longer became an argument, dumb*ss.

I don't know. I don't assume to know. I also don't assume that "secret knowledge" is impossible to obtain remotely.

You guys are jumping all over me because I won't rule out possibilities as impossibilities. It's the scientific process. You go with the theory that is most likely (which is what I'm doing) and you don't rule anything out until you know for sure.

When you guys say "it didn't happen." You don't know. It's just your best guess. When I say, "it's unlikely" I don't know, but it's my best guess. You act extremely certain about something you don't know and you think I'm the idiot for mostly agreeing with you.

One would have rejected the null hypothesis a long time ago, using the scientific method. That dog doesn't hunt.

Except for you can't really test this type of null in the first place. Even when you reject a null, there is still a level of confidence and the possibility of a Type I error.

So pointing out that Chomsky is saying very questionable things (and you disagree with Chomsky) is the nonsense that makes me susceptible to ridicule? Doesn't really make sense.

nbaker - can you place odds or likelihood on there being a conspiracy? Just curious if when you say unlikely you mean 1% chance, 10% chance, .0001%.

Ho: Islamic extremists were not behind the Sept. 11 attacks.

Ha: They were.

There's always Type I error possibilities. You must characterize the gravitational constant as "likely."

I can't. I have no ability to make a meaningful numerical estimate. Very unlikely, very low odds, etc. should work.

If your going to grasp at straws with this conspiracy, go with the Pentagon angle.

Oh no someone has an opinion contrary to popular belief! Also, not that it really matters, but the FBI doesn't care to "credit" Osama with 9/11 either.

FBI — USAMA BIN LADEN

That in no way says anything about what the FBI credits OBL with. Those "posters" are designed for distribution and are much more effective throughout Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the horn of Africa if New York and Washington, D.C. are not on them.

trUT you are correct. I was only stirring the pot because I found the topic rather trivial. :salute:
