To those skeptical of controlled demolition on the grounds of conspicuous preparation.

[LoZoccolo]

It is argued that if WTC 1, 2, or 7 was being prepared for a controlled demolition, then people would have noticed that explosives would have been planted for weeks in advance. What they don't know is that every expert in homemade explosives knows that it could have been done with a potato.

1. The South Tower said Potato, the North Tower said Potahto...

...and they both called the whole thing off?

[Kingshakabobo]

2. Huh?

[LoZoccolo]

3. A potato.

Like you eat.

[Bolo Boffin]

4. Look, you were doing really well by producing the Kucinich chemtrail bill.

For the love of God, pull back now while you're ahead.

[William Seger]

5. One potato?

Two potato? Three potato? Four?

Has Jim Hoffman done a calculation on this?

[Bolo Boffin]

6. Nasty, vicious tubers.

Thank whatever deity you believe in that you haven't seen a potato get a steel-structure building in its eyes. Oh, the horror.

[RedSock]

7. a big potato could topple the towers

A really, really big potato. ... Huge potato.

MIHOP = Mashed It Happen On Purpose?

8. OF COURSE - it wasn't OBL .......

10. Wait, there may be something here.

Workers at a factory making chips were evacuated two days running last month after bomb parts turned up in potatoes imported from France and Belgium, the site of battles in World War One and Two. The Scarborough plant, owned by Canada’s McCain Foods, the world’s largest producer of frozen chips, was emptied on Friday after a worker spotted a shell tip among the potatoes as they were being cleaned for slicing. “The police were called and the bomb squad advised a 100 metre exclusion zone should be set up,” said a McCain spokesman.

An entire hand grenade was discovered in the potatoes and the Yorkshire plant was evacuated again. “The army took the device away and blew it up in a controlled explosion in a field nearby,” a spokeswoman for the North Yorkshire police said. The Scarborough plant was opened in 1969 and uses 1,400 tonnes of potatoes every week. Production is back to normal.

McCain’s Whittlesey plant near Peterborough has also been evacuated several times this year after World War Two ordnance was found in batches of potatoes. “Occasionally during the use of imported potatoes from Belgium and northern France, ordnance debris from the First and Second World War is found,” McCain said.

Hmm. I'm beginning to sense a theory here.

11. The sad thing is, that is a NIST argument

that they couldn't have had enough time for preparation, which is ridiculous. One of them said it in the meeting I posted about where they said there was "no evidence" for explosions (let's see, you could see them, you could hear them, dozens of people, including fire and policemen heard them, but there was no evidence). Bush science in action... It was so scripted and it was odd how similar it was to OCT statements.

[Big Pappa]

12. So you

agree it was a spud!

[LARED]

13. When did the NIST argue

that they couldn't have had enough time for preparation

[hack89]

14. Hold on a second..

since no CTr has even advanced a detailed and coherent plan on how the WTC were laced with a combination of high explosives and thermite you cannot argue that there was enough time. Time enough for what?

How many explosives?
How many miles of detcord?
How many men?
How much time?

None of these questions have ever been answered and you know it.

[greyl]

15. Sharp point. nt

[LoZoccolo]

16. "no CTr has even advanced a detailed and coherent plan"

They could have used a potato.

[hack89]

17. Idaho? Russett? Where are the details? nt

19. Perhaps it was covert super spud guns that took out the towers
