Unfortunately he has appearances to keep up, and he cannot come out and say that without alienating his reader base of fringe left-wing kooks and Islamist terrorist sympathisers. On the other hand he can't tell the lie he'd like best to tell, i.e., that the CIA and Mossad did it; because, like Helen Thomas, he'd be fired for embarrassing his employer with inflammatory stupidity. So he compromises, hoping that calling America "incompetent" will be enough of a bone to throw to his America-hating base. You can gauge the success of Fisk's gambit from the reader comments above:<br /><br />10/11/2010 05:07:00 AM - partial success<br />10/11/2010 01:27:00 PM - success<br />10/11/2010 08:30:00 PM - failureJasonhttp://elnaschiewatch.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-31538345907399621892010-10-12T08:22:46.501+02:002010-10-12T08:22:46.501+02:00Crazy pearls!

The fact of the matter is that they did, comon sense indicates it, logic indicates it and the proofs indicate it. They may have used some brain washed morons, but they were instrumental in realizing the joint US/Israeli coup....<br />That is just beyond discussion and there is nothing worse than a disinformation agent, the one that infiltrates the ranks of a group of people seeking the truth and passes himself as objective on irrelevant details in order to gain credibility but dilutes the truth when it comes to relevant issues. Their role is to take the edge away from a rise in awareness before it reaches a critical mass necessary to bring the changes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-67481012898594922582010-10-11T13:27:47.691+02:002010-10-11T13:27:47.691+02:00Mr. Fisk is an excellent reporter who's analys...Mr. Fisk is an excellent reporter who's analysis of world affairs are concise, correct & thorough.<br />I admire him as a reporter.<br />The Canadian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-65892786994447717782010-10-11T05:07:33.680+02:002010-10-11T05:07:33.680+02:00Fouda is making a living by promoting the nonsense...Fouda is making a living by promoting the nonsense of accrediting 9/11 to Bin Laden. Fisk’s political position is generally respected with the exception of his position on 9/11. His argument is really absurd; to say US couldn’t have done it because they screw up everything else.<br /><br />If the US, spending trillion of dollars on intelligence, couldn’t have done it, so how in earth 19 Arabs with mediocre resources did manage to make it so spectacular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
