- Bishop Richard Williamson, seemingly the most outspoken
and controversial bishop of the Society of St. Pius X, asserted in a recent
talk that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were committed "to
get the American public to accept the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq,"
according to a news item by Jack Kenny in the Nov. 15, 2007 issue of The
Wanderer.
-
- Bishop Williamson, whose talk was held Nov. 4, 2007 in
Bedford, Mass., is quoted as saying:
-
- "Without 9-11, it would have been impossible to
attack in Afghanistan or Iraq. The forces inside the United States government
and driving the United States government absolutely wanted to attack and
destroy Iraq. The destruction wrought upon Iraq is unspeakable. And now
the same forces want to do the same thing to Iran . . . They may well be
plotting another 9-11."
-
- The news item continues: "Heat from the burning
fuel of the planes that flew into the twin towers of the World Trade Center
could not have melted the 47 steel columns in each tower, causing them
to collapse, he claimed. And a commercial airliner could not have penetrated
six of the ten walls that were breached by 'whatever hit the Pentagon,'
he said."
-
- What did hit the Pentagon, according to Bishop Williamson?
-
- "It was a missile that hit the Pentagon. It was
a missile that could only have been fired by the American military."
