I was just clarifying what it was that she supported, since a wall is a misleading term to use for it.

Y'know it's no secret that the Bush administration knew months in advance that 9/11 was going to happen. And to maximize more death and destruction they rigged the building overnight for two weeks before it happened with explosives to really drive home the point of war in the Middle East. Because let's face it a plane can't bring down a building no matter how you try to spin that.

Also a plane can't bring down a building that is a few blocks away that it didn't even hit.
