Back to reality- let's ask Bush himself what he knows about 9/11

[SushiFan]

The hard facts in the known record of September 11, 2001 ---

A. FACT- US Flight 195 that day took deadly aim at Washington DC. Crashed into the Pentagon killing scores. But the real aim of the hijackers was supposedly the Capitol Building, which is only a stone's throw from the White House. Hmmmm....

B. FACT- Bush was coincidently(?) absent from the White House that day. Reading of all things "My Pet Goat".

C. FACT- Bush was told immediately by Andy Card about the tragedies in eastern American parts, Pennsyl., Twin Towers, etc. But SAT there, doing NOTHING for a FULL SEVEN MINUTES!! Whoa dudes....

D. FACT- As soon as Boston air control heard about United Flight 95's distress, they notified the US military for escorts to bring the hijacked plane down safely without shooting the aircraft down. This kind of contact, in which an airport asked military aircraft for hijacking assistance, was NEVER before.seen in American air history.

E. FACT- But the military escorts in fact DID NOT appear to help save the day. Why not? On whose orders were these gov't jets NOT sent to aid the hijacked planes? In contrast, hundreds of civilians, though, in the airflight industry knew about the hijackings as well as civilian officials who mass-evacuated hundreds of citizens in their own areas.

F. FACT- Why did the military not respond, then? They surely knew, like all these civilians knew, about the hijacked aircraft in the Northeast. But not a soul in the Administration sent any jet fighters to escort the doomed planes and passengers.

But no matter the grievous damage he and his looneytune GOP backers have otherwise done to us and our poor country, if he is not IMPEACHED for any of these other things, that he damn well BETTER BE IMPEACHED if he is in anyway involved with these insane murderings of our fellow Americans on that sad day.

I'm not afraid to question Bush on these issues. Anyone got the guts to join me?

1. What I want to know is how he saw the first plane hit on TV...

...before he entered the classroom and before the second plane hit. Footage of the first plane hitting the WTC didn't surface until days later.

"That's one terrible pilot..."

3. That is the easiest explained, he was confused later about timing

He didn't say it until days later, had lots of time to watch everything and try to get his little peabrain around it. Confusion resulted.

6. Confused...twice?

On December 4, 2001, Bush was asked, "How did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?" Bush replied, "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower--the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there. I didn't have much time to think about it." Bush repeated the same story on January 5, 2002, stating, "First of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error, and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake...."

Even if we give him the benefit of doubt, which I don't, the throw away line, "I thought that it was one terrible pilot" is a lie. He had plenty of warnings about AQ attacks and we now know that his 8/6/01 PDB clearly warned about a major terrorist attack, possibly in NYC, using planes. 4 weels after that high level briefing and he thinks its bad pilot skills? BS. Then he repeats it again? No one corrected his faulty memory? No one explained how stupid that thought was? Or were they seeding an "innocence alibi"? Like Condi telling the 9/11 Commission, "no one dreamed that they'd use planes as weapons." BS. The Pentagon had a planning exercise months earlier testing out such a crash scenario.

For one thing, how does anyone confuse where they were and what they were doing that morning? He knew about the 1st crash before he got in the building. He didn't know about the 2nd until Card whispered in his ear. So where would this false recollection come from?

It would not surprise me in the least if he watched the 1st plane hit on his way from the hotel to Booker on CCTV. His car has that kind of communication capabilities with satelite up/down links. Remember that film crew in NJ? Who really knows? Could have been a live broadcast with an uplink to a secure channel. Knowing what a megalomaniac this boyking is and knowing that he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is, I could believe that he simply blurted it out, not thinking or knowing that the event was not broadcast live. He was watching it on TV, he just assumed every else was, too.

11. He wasn't confused about anything, IMHO.

12. The Fact That Bush

Refused to deviate from his scheduled photo-op, over twenty minutes after he was told the country was definitely under attack, to even attempt to get all the information and be as prepared as the President of the United States should, proves it all.

Either he knew about the attack in advance or he was grossly negligent and derelict in his duties. There is no justifiable excuse for his actions that day, because his scheduled departure time from his photo-op and not deviating from his photo-op at all, was more important to him than the worst attack on American soil.

2. hopefully sworn in and front of a jury?

[SushiFan]

4. In court? You bet, chimpsrsmarter! In fact, I'd like to

see him and his other criminal Texas pals prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! With no mercy shown to any of them. It's only fair, you know.

BTW, chimpsrsmarter, my thread about "Karen Hughes - Lesbian Extraordinaire?" which was somehow deleted was in NO WAY a scornful dig at lesbians. I'm a gay guy myself and I'd never diss anyone of my sexuality like the way a poster implied in their reply...

5. That was American Flt. 77 that crashed into the Pentagon

AA 11 and UA 175 crashed into the WTC, AA 77 into the Pentagon, UA 93 in PA. You have to get your basic facts straight.

7. Yes, ask him and count his blink rate that follows.

8. www.911Truth.org

great links here re: 9/11 Truth

One good book : 'The Terror Timeline'

also 'The 9/11 Commission Report : Omissions and Distortions'

[Media_Lies_Daily]

10. I'd like to ask him, under oath, what he meant when he stated....

...to at least two different groups in the White House that he had seen the FIRST plane crash into the WTC. How was that possible? What was he watching, and how was he able to see the FIRST plane impact the WTC?

If you'll recall, Herr Busch was not in a position to see the second plane crash into the WTC because he was in the classroom when Card notified him of the second impact. So, what did Herr Busch see, and how was he able to see it?

The limo was equipped with the latest in communications equipment on 911, to include a close-circuit television system. Additionally, a communications vehicle was in the motorcade heading to the Sarasota elementary school that morning.

If it's ever determined that the NeoCons had a camera at the WTC transmitting back to Herr Busch's motorcade, and specifically to the limo, we will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the NeoCons knew what was about to happen.

13. Hey KansasWyatt, you're right on about

that. The bushies have always been derelict about governing ever since they stole the election from us in 2000! I, for one, would REALLY LIKE TO KNOW ALL ABOUT 9/11. I'm not satisfied with the bushies' saying that all this is classified. Only they consider 9/11 "classified", not any other American I know of, however.
