This is almost entirely incorrect. Where to start? First, the Taliban were in Afghanistan, not Iraq. For the rest, just go here [Wikipedia] and read.

What about United Flight 93, the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania? And I have no idea what you're talking about regarding two planes that "never made it across the Atlantic." None of the planes used in the attacks flew across the Atlantic. And one plane that crashed due to a fuel leak? No idea where that came from either.

-(trick) you should view the registration Number of the First airplane (don't know it anymore) in the following fonts. Wingdings. Webdings. Symbol. If done correctly you'll see 2 towers, an airplane, a skull and a jewish star (star of david)
Anyone with MS Word can prove that this isn't true. Have you tried it? It simply doesn't work. I'll help you out by telling you that the registration number of the first airplane to hit (American Flight 11) was N334AA. You can take it from there.

I see parts of the White House and the adjacent trees. It's a real stretch to say that that shows the WTC towers burning.

Man, is that rumor still alive?! That's the stupidest thing ever. I heard it the first time something like a day after the incident and it circulated with the so called "plane registration number", which wasn't the number of any of the planes, or even a valid one for any plane for that matter.

I second what Fruit Pie Jones said. Those were the most far-fetched things ever on that matter. None of those points are completely (or pretty much even remotely) true.

That's wrong!

What you should do is to write:
NYC (as in New York City) and when you change the fonts you'll get those symbols you're talking about...

BTW - I think I already showed this right...

How Osama got the idea:

That's not really funny.

Also Osama was bribed to fight the Russians off, the Taliban were called (at the time) the muhadjadeen (I think) and they were openly funded by the USA. Afghanistan was essentially Vietnam for the Russians, it was filled with losses and only really ended in the early 90's.

The MUHADJADEEN as you call them are actually mercenaries of the muslim faith. And the Taliban were such mercenaries, but this word does implys also for other muslim fighter that go to fight outside their country for their faith and also money.

Osama wasn't bribed to fight the Russians - he was trained and also suppleid with weapons by the CIA, to fight the Soviets, who invaded Afghanistan.
Just like US also helped Sadam Husein in the was between Iraq and Iran (because in Iran they had a muslim revolution and under Homeini the country became anti-American).

And about the funny side of my picture... It's like with the tricks with the dollar bills.
Those tricks are done slightly wrong two. With the 20$ bill you were suppose to see the Pentagon in fire and you needed (I think) a 100$ bill to see the WTC in flames (or was it just the other way around?). I remember getting those two tricks shortly after that happened, but I doubt I still have the pictures (it's like with the NYC - the other trick I already explained). After a while people forget...

I see you have all done your homework...

these are all things i remembered when i read the newspapers 1 year ago so please don't grind me for making a few mistakes... I'm a person too and people tend to forget things over time...

And by the way, Iraq, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia and countless other countries with similar names are all part of the middle east so i hereby remotely edit my previous post and change "iraq" into "The middle east"

The airplane thing was wrong too... the guy who printed this in the papers was fired 2 days later for spreading false information... (he should be executed)

The dollar thing... well i don't use dollars... i use Euro's... Actually i've never seen a real dollar before... so i just assumed it would look real life...

Now that i've corrected my most grievous errors, let's move on...

Afghanistan is not a middle eastern country, neither is Pakistan, Iran is the end of where Middle East reaches. Then it goes west to Iraq, Syria, south to Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and it includes Egypt and even Libya. Also all the countries in the Arabian peninsula.

And all the countries in the middle east do not sound the same, don't be a dick.
