That 'were' is very distracting. I keep struggling to parse it as some kind of subjunctive rather than a failure in subject-verb agreement.

Did anyone ever say it was Iraq? And who is he talking about? Iran? The Saudis?

9/11 was used as an excuse for the Iraq War in 2003 (even though we now know there was no connection).

The scariest part, no doubtNot to mention his shilling for the international tea-towel industry.
No, we knew there was no direct 9/11 connection at the time. The advertised #1 rationale for invading Iraq (seeing as how we were already actively engaged in Afghanistan) was concern over Saddam's bragging about WMD capabilities (most specifically gas weapons) and the possibility he might be emboldened to use them or supply them to (e.g.) al-Qaeda.
Footage that isn't new, but was unseen by me (and I've watched a lot).
Warning: contains people preparing to jump.
Uncut media footage--many more uploaded by this channel.
My goodness that was harrowing. I think that's the first time I've ever come close to knowing what it was like to be there... not that one can experience it from a video of course, but I've never seen such close-up, real-time footage of it like that.
At the risk of sounding like I'm focusing on the wrong thing here, I can't get over the sheer amount of dust covering everything and everyone.... it's like a thick coating all over the pavement and cars... how did they ever get it all cleaned?
I've said before (probably on this thread) that I find 'raw' footage from September 11th utterly hypnotic: the constant sirens and babble, car-alarms, dust, debris and panic.
It's almost like a film, but simultaneously the 'realist' thing I've ever seen.
I felt the same watching the footage live on the day.
It's my 'JFK in Dallas' moment.
The memory is very clear.
Another video from the Pentagon on 9/11 showing what looks like a missile hitting it.
A correction to what he says in the video: What he calls the hole created by the missile/jet is the exit hole.
The hole created in the front of the building is large.

Hard to tell whatever it is. The video might have been made blurry to hide a CGI created missile.I'm not convinced that's even the Pentagon, the video is too blurry to tell - it could be anywhere & looks like it could be a row of warehouses. It's shot from an aircraft of some kind, not a static camera. Were there any aircraft flying that close to the Pentagon on the day in question?..
How do the conspiracists explain what happened to AAL Flight 77 then?
Radar data tracks the Boeing 757 from take-off to the vicinity of the Pentagon, so where did the aircraft go?
Yes..that was one of my first thoughts back then....that building must have had multiple cameras....one would think they could see a squirrel approach the building from all angles.How do the conspiracists explain what happened to AAL Flight 77 then?

My real suspicion about 9/11 is regarding the slow USAF response. Why was no one held accountable for that?
“It is our conclusion that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of all columns in the building and not a progressive collapse involving the sequential failure of columns throughout the building.
Despite simulating a number of hypothetical scenarios, we were unable to identify any progressive sequence of failures that could have taken place on September 11, 2001, and caused a total collapse of the building, let alone the observed straight-down collapse with approximately 2.5 seconds of free fall and minimal differential movement of the exterior.”
Operation Encore and the Saudi Connection: A Secret History of the 9/11 Investigation
Behind the scenes, a small team of FBI agents spent years trying to solve a stubborn mystery — whether officials from Saudi Arabia, one of Washington’s closest allies, were involved in the worst terror attack in U.S. history. This is their story.
During the last 15 years of his FBI career, Gonzalez was a central figure in the bureau’s effort to understand Saudi connections to 9/11. But even on the inside, Gonzalez often felt as if his own government wanted no part of what he was finding. From the day of the attacks, the trail seemed to point to Saudi Arabia. First, there was the inescapable fact that, like Osama bin Laden, 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.
