Reply #27: Well Stan Goff has been around the block a few times [View All]

as he spent a large chunk of his adult life in the US Army Special Forces taking part in operations from Viet Nam to Haiti.

Here's a brief synopsis of his background in an article he wrote after 9/11 detailing some of the problems he had with the "official" 9/11 story.

I'm a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant. That doesn't cut much for those who will only accept the opinions of former officers on military matters, since we enlisted swine are assumed to be incapable of grasping the nuances of doctrine.

But I wasn't just in the army. I studied and taught military science and doctrine. I was a tactics instructor at the Jungle Operations Training Center in Panama, and I taught Military Science at West Point. And contrary to the popular image of what Special Forces does, SF's mission is to teach. We offer advice and assistance to foreign forces. That's everything from teaching marksmanship to a private to instructing a Battalion staff on how to coordinate effective air operations with a sister service.

Based on that experience, and operations in eight designated conflict areas from Vietnam to Haiti, I have to say that the story we hear on the news and read in the newspapers is simply not believable. <snip>

Apparently Goff isn't quite so blasé about the whole affair as you are as he likens the widespread publication of this photograph in the Arab/Muslim world to: the effect of pumping pure oxygen into a blazing fire. Check with the next fireman you meet and ask him if he was in the middle of fighting a raging fire how'd he take it if some goofball turned on a pipeline that fed oxygen into the heart of the blaze he was battling to bring under control. Hugs back at you :pals:
