7 WTC burned out of control for the entire day leading to structural failure.
The twin towers didn't burn all day. What caused them to collapse?
And don't say the planes, because that has never happened before in the history of the world.

I've actually never read Charlie Wilson's War
There is a story told about the CIA agent and two British agents working with the mujahidin. They were sleeping and woke up to a mujahidin raid party returning from capturing some soviets. I won't tell you the rest but this story alone is worth the read and you will never forget it.

I know all about popular mechanics. No mention of squibs in that article - just one of many things they like to ignore.

I thought it was common knowledge that the CIA worked with OBL beginning around the time of the Soviet-Afghan war.
I don't know shite about this kind of subject.
What would we and obl be working together on?

The fireproofing around the steel was destroyed by the impact of the planes. The fire was kept going by the office contents. The exposed steel eventually gave way, leading to progressive collapse.

Beating back Soviets in Afghanistan. But the US says it didn't happen (us working with OBL).

The British gave us two separate reports about terrorists using commercial airlines as attackers.
From what I read, Egyptian Intelligence gave the U.S. info saying that "20 al qaeda operatives slipped into the U.S. and that four are training in Cessnas".
According to the Loose Change documentary, our government was running drills on a hijacked airliner.
I believe they either flat out knew, or are more incompetent than what anyone could believe.
Which perfectly frames my point...
Even if someone respected told the CIA "soon, terrorists will use a commercial plane to attack a building, we know this for a fact" the rest of the conversation would go as follows:
CIA: "Ok, what airport will it be?"
Foreign Intel: "Don't know."
CIA: "...what state will it be in?"
Foreign Intel: "Don't know."
CIA: "Will the plane depart from the US at all, or be international?"
Foreign Intel: "Not sure."
CIA: "Ok, well can you at least say what you mean by soon? As in tomorrow, or next spring, or in a year?"
Foreign Intel: "Soon."

Can you show me an example of this happening somewhere other than 9/11?
I'm not trolling. I genuinely want to know.
The only time I've seen buildings fall like that is in a demolition.

An example of a jetliner striking a massive tower? That a serious request?

Plus, depending where it came from, we'd be concerned that
a) It was false information intended to reveal US plans for responding to such an attack (or simply to take a toll on our economy); or
b) we're not getting the full story and that some other entity/country wants us to do something for them, which happens all the time. So they play up our fears about terrorism to get us to target some organization or entity they're frightened of. Like the Saudi royal family and pretty much any Islamic extremist org.

No an example of a building collapsing due to progressive collapse

Could have easily started assigning more security to each plane, and at risk of offending people, say frick it and start profiling some browned skinned arab folks.

Well, there are very many instances of fully fueled jumbo jets flying directly into steel structures.
Just because it has never happened before doesn't mean it can't happen.
There are examples of progress collapse though. Look up the Windsor Tower fire in Madrid in 2005.
The Oklahoma City Bombing is an example of a progressive collapse.

Not only that, but chemical weapons were all the rage at the time. Suicide bombings have always been a lurking threat, and don't require infiltrating the pilot industry. I presume there were dozens of memos that proceeded exactly the same way, all equally plausible, but this one in particular came true.

If there is one thing you can trust the Russians on, it is that they also aren't fans of the Muslims.
Britain is our nephew that just lives away from the family a little ways. Two reliable info givers there.
Can rule out most states, because no terrorist is flying a plane into the legislature building in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, etc.

There's video of the windsor tower fire. You don't see big differences between that and the world trade center collapse?

Do you have any idea how many planes and brown people there are in this country? I'm really not trying to be a smartass, but you and the demolition theory guy are kinda going off the rails here.
