9/11 did anyone knew why Taliban chose this date for their treacherous terrorist attack

That's why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna

Arab extremists got ass kicked raelly badlyby prominent Polish commander Jan Sobieski, a feat for which he was elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as Jan III Sobieski:-)

Those fanatics wanted to do something spectacular on the day in which suffered total defeat, few centuries earlier, and unfortunately they made it :(

Very funny.

The dates are obviously coincidental.

The attackers of Vienna were Ottoman Turks not "Arab extremists"( whatever THAT means)who were much like the Spanish conquistadors of the same era who were out for territory and booty and - oh yeah- and to spread the faith too-ofcourse! They didnt have secular politcal ideologues back then-extreme- nor otherwise.

The Taliban didnt pick the date- Al Queda did. Probably because the weather forcast was good for hijacking planes that day.

However Bin Ladin did seem to have obsession with the FALL (not the earlier rise) of the Ottoman Empire. He did use the cryptic refrain "the outrages of 80 years ago" in his messages to the media after 9-11.

Dont think anyone has ever figured out exactly what he was talking about. But it obviously had something to do with post world war one dismemberment of the ottoman empire, and the divieing up of the middle east into client puppet states of the European powers-the event that created the modern nation states of the middle east.

So if Bin Ladin had picked a date -it wouldve been from 1919, not from the 1600's.

I thought maybe he picked 9/11 because it looks like 911, the emergency call number. But that was just a wild guess and he probably didn't think much of the exact date even if he did think about it.

This.

It is a sad day when people can't remember who carried out those attacks.

9/11 at 9:11 AM is the time they tried for.

911 is the emergency line in the USA.

Whoever they are, they're about as welcome on this planet of ours as Ebola.

Don't forget, it wasn't just the Taliban. They were in cahoots with Saddam Hussein.

I'd also like to take issue with "treacherous". There was no betrayal of trust, they weren't acting against their own countries, and they weren't deceptive as such (unless you count the concealed weapons). It was an evil act, but not a treacherous act.

And I thought it was because it was on the tenth anniversary of this:-

President Bush on 9/11/91

And is it purely a coincidence that 911 has been used as an excuse to invade and control one country after another of those Islamic countries that are yet to be enslaved to the international Jewish banking debt system.aka "New World Order" aka Babylon the Great.

My hair getting gray, the ice on streets, the milk getting sour in the fridge,... its ALL Saddam Hussien's fault! I find new stuff to blame him for every day!

2001 minus 70 = 1931 - the year oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia, by an American mining expert brought in to look for water, and the discovery pricked the interest of an American oil company. That was a big turning point for that region of the world. (According to this pdf: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~twod/oil ... ollack.pdf )

I'm just guessing at the meaning of "the outrages of 80 years ago" but it could be that was what he meant. Or maybe British interests pulling out earlier, which would be closer to 80 years. (Sorry, I am having trouble editing this post.)

As for the 9/11 date I have no idea, but it seems at the time I heard something that it related to, that it was an anniversary of something. But I don't recall. ETA: Some have related it to 911 emergency, but the terrorists would have notated it as 11/9, and there was a message sent to them, apparently a secret code for the date to attack, "two sticks, a dash and a cake with a stick down" to indicate 11-9.

ETA: Oh, I see what you mean about the 80 years - 1921, The Cairo Conference: http://www.cliohistory.org/thomas-lawrence/cairo/

Well..been awhile since weve had a visit from the Holocaust Denier Crowd.

So..

The president happens to use "new world order" in a sentence- and you take that as proof that THE "NWO" of urban legend is real.

So I suppose that every time the president mentions the "illegal alien problem" that thats proof that he takes orders from space aliens!

I just KNEW it!

Lol!

You call that a conspiracy theory?

The pilot episode of The Lone Gunman (the X-Files spinoff) (which aired in March 2001) involved a government plot to start a war by flying a plane into the world trade center.

That really happened.....before 9-11. :lol:

Maybe that's where he got the idea. March 2001 would have been the 80th anniversary of the Cairo Conference. The splitting up of the Arab nations by western powers. But wasn't bin Ladin already on the run, then, with a price on his head, likely hiding out in the hills of Afghanistan? I doubt he would have seen the X-Files episode.
