It’s official — Willie Nelson has smoked himself crazy:
Texas icon Willie Nelson said on a nationally syndicated radio show that he questions the official story of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York City.
“I certainly do,” Nelson said Monday when asked by talk-show host Alex Jones.
“I saw those towers fall and I’ve seen an implosion in Las Vegas, there’s too much similarities between the two. And I saw the building fall that didn’t get hit by nothing,” the singer-songwriter said. “So, how naive are we, you know, what do they think we’ll go for?”
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Truthers.

You must be
But Willie said he saw the building fall that “didn’t get hit by nothing” which, of course, being a double negative means he thinks it DID get hit by something….no? yes? Anyone speak Willie-speak around here that is sufficiently stoned to answer?
Actually heard the tape on Laura Ingraham yesterday AM–yes, it was intertaining.
All I have to say is: Rosie O’Donnell, Google It!
Shut up, Willie.
Soliciting or listening to Engineering opinions or tax advice from Willie is like taking parenting lessons from Britney Spears.
Of course if there is anyone out there so incensed by Willie’s remarks and wants to get rid of your Willie/Highwayman CD’s please leave your name for me to contact.

AYWWINBAWWNOI - And You Wonder Why I Never Buy Anthing With Willie Nelson On It
ON BULL HORN (HOW APPROPRIATE) Willie - drop the hose, stand up, and back away from the bong.
I used to work with one of Willie’s ex-wifes. They had two kids together - neither of which wanted anything to do with him.
‘Nugh said.
Does this mean we’re boycotting Texas Roadhouse?
Taste of Texas is better anyway.
I feel sorry for him. He’s making a fool out of himself. Not that he cares. But, he is no spring chicken. ( I am a spring chicken)
Sherri–Amen to that the last statement! Does Roadhouse have a connection to Willie?
Willie Nelson–The Laziest Man In Show Business.
He’s been “mailing it in” for twenty years.
Shut up, Willie. And don’t sing. Because you quit putting any effort into it in 1985.
KentBook-Willie is owner (maybe part owner) of Texas Roadhouse. The website doesn’t say what percentage he owns.
No wonder it sucks–lousy food–no real beers, just the usual crap lite.

See Shannon, that’s what I mean HEHE. I like Texas Roadhouse. It’s cheap and it’s fun. Edd’s place is the best but my pocket book doesn’t allow it very often.
Willie Nelson - commenting on geopolitical stuff……..is roughly equivalent to Martha Stewart doin WWF play-by-play fer KeeeeeeRISSAKES
american woman - our very own Roadhouse momma.
Your government would never do anything to harm its own citizens.
Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a 1962 plan by the U.S. Department of Defense to stage acts of simulated or real terrorism on US soil and against U.S. interests and then put the blame of these acts on Cuba in order to generate U.S. public support for military action against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro.

ON BULL HORN (HOW APPROPRIATE) Daniel - drop the hose, stand up, and back away from the bong.
In response to a request for pretexts for military intervention by the Chief of Operations of the Cuba Project, Brig. Gen. Edward Lansdale, the document lists methods (with, in some cases, outlined plans) the authors believed would garner public and international support for U.S. military intervention in Cuba. These are staged attacks purporting to be of Cuban origin, with a number of them having real casualties. Central to the plan was the use of “friendly Cubans”–Cuban exiles seeking to oust Fidel Castro.
The proposals included:
Starting rumors about Cuba by using clandestine radios.
“Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft should appear to continue as harassing measures condoned by the government of Cuba.”
Staging mock attacks, sabotages and riots at Guantanamo Bay and blaming them on Cuban forces.
Blowing up a U.S. ship in Guantánamo Bay and blaming it on Cuba (reminiscent of the destruction of the USS Maine at Havana in 1898, which helped to precipitate the Spanish-American War). The document’s first suggestion regarding the sinking of a U.S. ship is to blow up a ship at sea and hence would result in U.S. Navy members being killed, with a secondary suggestion of possibly using an unmanned ship and fake funerals instead.
“Harassment of civil air, attacks on surface shipping and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type [sic] planes would be useful as complementary actions.”
Destroying an unmanned drone masquerading as a commercial aircraft supposedly full of “college students off on a holiday”. This proposal was the one supported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Staging a “terror campaign”, including the “real or simulated” sinking of Cuban refugees:
“We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. The terror campaign could be pointed at refugees seeking haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute [sic] to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement, also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.”

Willie was a big supporter of Ma Richards didn’t that give you a hint he might be losing it….and what was that BrokeBack Mountin…song all about?
Remember when Willie send cases of whiskey to the Democratic legislators who jumped state to keep from voting on legislation they didn’t like. That’s went I parted ways with Willie.
But, but…Willie adopted a lot of horses from Habitat For Horses. He’s only 1/2 bad, right?
Willie is not alone. Take a look at the Senior Military, Intelligence, Law Enforcement, Government Officials, Professors, Architects, Engineers, Pilots, 9/11 Survivors and Family Members who are questioning 9/11 found here:

Well, what do you expect from a guy who supported Dennis Kucinich?
No kidding! Willie has started to sound like Susan Estrich with a Southern accent.
Daniel, time to take a break from Alex Jones again ; - )
AS far as Willie and Texas Roadhouse goes, it appears that they are using him as celebrity sponsorship. He may be an investor but from what I have searched over he is not the owner or co-owner.
need more?
Operation Northwoods, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war.[13]

In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS. This document, titled “Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba” was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba. These proposals - part of a secret anti-Castro program known as Operation Mongoose - included staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake “Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington,” including “sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated),” faking a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a “Remember the Maine” incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. Bamford himself writes that Operation Northwoods “may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government.”
It is possible that 911 was an inside job. That is a fact.

Only in that it is a fact that almost anything is possible.
Tell me: What would the government gain by perpetrating 9/11 on its own citizens?
Unless it is some sort of 100-year-master-plan, I haven’t really seen anything come to fruition that would make any sense.
It is possible that someone will give me a billion dollars tomorrow. That is a fact.

If that is true, what does it do to the BLOWback Principle?
The black helicopters got Squawk’s black helicopter.
#49 Wow! Excellent point! If you believe in Alex Jones and the Troofers it nullifies the blowback principle put forth by Dear Leader. Quite the conundrum.

God, I thought we would never get back to talking about RP! That’s a relief!
My wifed and I went to Willie Nelson’s picnic in THE Woodlands several years back. He was awful. For a minute I thought I was at a Red Sovine concert because Willie talked all his songs.
Before that, however, David Alan Coe had appeared on-state, in the middle of the stinking heat on an oppressive August day, wearing a calf-length leather duster. We decided he must’ve just come from Willie’s bus, if you know what I mean.
53 - did he sing about how beer was good for you??
The conspiracy continues… In French but be certain to click the “Page web:defenselink…” to view huge photos of the Pentagon that was merely a ‘coincidence’ (Willie kinda thinking).

Do you think anybody else has a clue what we’re talking about?

I am familiar with “Teddy Bear” - used to love that song. I admit it is before my time, though…
Before your time? It came out in the mid ’70s. You ain’t THAT young. You have adult children!

OK, so I was 5 or 6 when it came out. I didn’t remember if it came out in the 60’s or 70’s…

It does nothing at all to repudiate the concept of blowback. Believing that the government planned 9/11 doesn’t indicate a belief that terrorism isn’t real. It is perfectly congruous to believe that government insiders brought down the twin towers in 2001, but that they didn’t help in the 1993 attempt, or in the USS Cole bombing or other various ‘terrorist’ actions.
While I don’t personally subscribe to the truth movement’s outlook on the subject, I think it’s quite naive to think that our government doesn’t have connections to manipulations of popular sentiment that include manufactured events to facilitate the implementation of a desired policy change. This is what big governments do. Do you suspect that the oligarchs are dispassionate and disinterested in retaining the reigns of power? Governments do engage in covert acts to sway public opinion, and they always will.
#51
Not a conundrum.
Dudes: Y’all really need to listen to that country oldies radio station. It’s the one that’s programmed #6 on my radio? Hello? Punch #6 and check it out!/ducks and runs
mty: Yanno, I’m so proud of George Bush and Carl Rove. 9-11, the only secret that managed not to escape into the press from everyone who hates them.
One more time…..
You cannot subscribe to the theory that blowback caused 9/11 while simultaneously believing that that 9/11 was an inside job. Well I guess in the twisted spaghetti bowl world of the troofer wing of the RP camp you could surmise that Bush brought down the Twin Towers to cover up the blowback that was inevitably going to happen. Yeah…that’s the ticket.

“and so the mood of the country is definetly different than it was on sep. the 10th…
but I find the mood of the country to be incredibly refreshing” GW Bush - 10/29/01
I do not believe that 9/11 was an inside job, and won’t offer a defense of arguments proposing such.
While you note that the positive statement does not also imply it’s inverse (one would have thought that obvious), allowing that 9/11 could have been an act of someone other than violent Muslim radicals does nothing to support the contention that ‘they hate us for our freedom’.
Blowback as a concept isn’t contained to the 9/11 attacks; it is the reason for the anti-American sentiment that allows cynical interests to foment suicide bombers and other willing purveyors of anti-American terrorism.
The rationale of truthers goes like this:
American interests meddle in middle eastern affairs for years, causing deep-seeded resentment amongst the populace.
In more recent history, American troops have permeated the region, with scores of soldiers permanently stationed in the strategic Persian Gulf region.
Indigenous leaders encourage radicalization, and employ terrorism as a tactic to effect the ultimate removal of the occupiers.
Interests in our government hierarchy cynically plan the 9/11 attacks, framing middle eastern terrorists in an attempt to push through desired policy changes.
I’m on board up to that last one.
Why the dearth of radical Shinto terrorists? They’ve got 63 years of built-up blowback.
#77 - you gotta do better than that. Radical Islamic terrorism has existed for longer than I’ve been alive, and will be around after I’m dead. 9/11 didn’t change that, nor some statement from Cheney or Bush that you dredged up off the web.
<sarc>Besides, if this was a government consipracy, it had to have existed before Bu$hitler took office, right? He didn’t have time to concoct such a plan, and in all fairness, he’s too stupid to pull off such a plan, anyway, no?</sarc>
Oh, so now HAL has been upgraded? Your comment is awaiting moderation.
#79
This is errant reasoning. Failure of one set of people in a decidedly different situation to resort to terrorist actions don’t invalidate the concept of blowback.
If you walk into a bar and spit in a man’s face and he doesn’t punch you, does that mean you can generalize that spitting in a person’s face in a bar won’t get you punched out?
Beyond the inherent illogic, there are sweeping differences between our interactions with post-war Japan and the middle east.
#82 - Why do you think we’ve experienced this “blowback”? What specific events drove it?
Of course it is. How silly of me. I forgot I was talking to the arbiter of all things logical (yes, that was an ad hominem attack). You’re the “decider”.
Nope. Just two of ‘em. There are many similarities between the Shinto Warrior culture and Islamofascists. Good night O Wise One

“#77 - you gotta do better than that. Radical Islamic terrorism has existed for longer than I’ve been alive, and will be around after I’m dead. 9/11 didn’t change that, nor some statement from Cheney or Bush that you dredged up off the web.”
I’m having a hard time with the logic jimb- are you inferring that the “war on terrorism” that “won’t end in our lifetimes” might fare better in the court of public opinion sans 9/11.
JC
btw, fwiw GW being nefariously involved or not is moot- imho.

Not a cut and paste, jimb, and not ’sweeping generalizations’. I can back each up with specifics. Which points do you reject? All of them?
…and one of them a know-it-all that can’t keep his trap shut.
#98 - Actually, the way you wrote your points, they were indeed sweeping generalizations.
At least you didn’t refer to US support for Israel right out of the chute. I’m going to wait and see if the subject comes up.
So, to start with, which region is “the region”?
Then, I guess, let’s just see a list of the countries you refer to that we did some of these things in.
I don’t flatly reject any of your points, but some context would be nice.
I’ll check back in the AM and see what you’ve got. If/when I respond, it will be in the Thursday Open Comments Thread…
Oh, by the way, MTY, saying you’re smarter than everyone who disagrees with you don’t make it so.
Here jimb, hold mah beer!
It undoubtedly will. US policy as it relates to Israel is representative of the flawed thinking underlying our foreign policy in general.
The broader middle east.
I can give you very specific context for my assertions if you tell me with which you take issue. There are volumes of scholarly work on the subject - should I just cite book titles for you to read? I’ve stated my contentions. Tell me your objection to them.
Let’s start with one nation - Iran. I contend that these points can easily be illustrated with Iran in the context of relations in the broader middle east.
Let’s start with the CIA-backed coup to depose Iranian Prime Minister and ardent nationalist Mossadeq in 1953. It is a great illustration of how American hawks used our foreign policy instruments to do precisely the things I note.
After our early attempt at national-building devolved into the Iranian Revolution of 1979, we helped install Saddam Hussein into power in Iraq as a regional power to balance out the military might we’d facilitated in Iran.
I’m trying to remember exactly how this one turned out. If my memory serves me, our new puppet started two different wars with the Iranians and invaded Kuwait (with the implied ambivalence of the Undersecretary of State) before we decided that he no longer served our interests and stopped subsidizing his military domination of the region.
Policies that multiply this collateral damage to scores of nations in that region facilitate the radicalization of the people. They see their elected leaders deposed or their governments dominated (out of fear of being deposed, in many cases), and they flock to leaders who promise a way to regain their autonomy. They strike out at the great power who dominates them in the only way they can - through covert ‘terrorist’ actions. This is blowback.
I’ll see if I can check in tomorrow to see if you care to challenge anything specifically.
Did I say that? I might have implied mental superiority to some very specific posters at some point, but I’m pretty sure I have made no such universal claim.
Of course, if I did say it, it wouldn’t preclude my being smarter than everyone else. Are you trying to pick a fight, jimb?

MTY, if you want to see blowback, continue to post your comments in duplicate.
-The Management
Matt,
You’re either having server issues, or you’ve changed the global handling settings for handling (at least my) posts. I’m assuming that you changed it to where tags must be approved by a moderator….
Of course, if you really found it annoying, you could just snip the duplicates. It’s interesting that the moderation team will alter a writer’s posts for comedic value but not in the interest of coherence….
At it again….. I had in there before the tags. You did change the global settings - stop acting as if I was being rude and double posting.
Jesus, the new settings butcher any post with the traditional open-a, close-a tags.
Had you bothered to ask you would know that comments with more than two links are kicked into the spam bucket where they await the VOLUNTEER moderators to approve or deny them, which may take a few hours.
But its all about you, mty. All about you.
You are a cretin. I’ve certain I’ve made posts with more than 2 links several times, and no lag in posting. This post had only 2 links. Why would I assume that it wasn’t just a momentary glitch? Why did I not get the standard message about double-posting that is generally standard on wordpress?
You are right, Hamous. It must be all about me. You can’t help making an ass of yourself in responding to me no matter what I say. If I say the sky is blue, you have to launch into a tirade about how I worship Ron Paul and think I’m smarter than you.
You can’t have a conversation that stays on topic and doesn’t devolve into an attack on irrelevant personal characteristics (to head off your standard tactic - the lack of logic in an argument is not a personal attack and is the definition of relevance). It might whip a few cretins into a round of retarded high fives, but it only serves to illustrate your inferior position to those looking for a reasoned discourse.
As for pointing out that the moderators are ‘Volunteers’ - are you concerned that this is somehow different than 99.9% of all blog-based sites on the net? I can easily work around the blog settings, but had no idea they’d been changed.
Thanks for your concerns.
Oops. There were more than 2 in the original post, but only two after it was cut into two parts. It still didn’t show up.
Note: extra large, rambling comments ≠ coherence
Yes…. anything that won’t fit on a bumper sticker is incoherent to you. I get it. I’ll keep the words as mono-syllabic as possible when talking to you.
