George W Bush provoked the 9-11 attacks.

I don't care what people say about my views.

Bush provoked the 9-11 attacks. He was dealing with the Taliban terrorists from Jan 2001 until July 2001 to get oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan. If they would allow this Bush would leave the Taliban in power. The Taliban would have none of it. In July 2001 Bush made plans to invade Afghanistan scheduled for Oct 2001. The Pakistanis told the Taliban if you still won't deal with the Americans an invasion would come. The Taliban terrorists struck us first. 2750 people died because Bush wanted an oil deal with the Taliban. Yes, Republicans deal with terrorists.

I have had enough of the white wash the press and most Democrats and Republicans who give this reason for why 9-11 happened. The 9-11 attacks appeared provoked.

Look on Bush's face as he got told the World trade center got attacked on Sept 11, 2001. That does not look like a man who got surprised. It looks like a man who had his invasion plans proceeding and who had the Taliban preempt him as he sat in the classroom reading my pet goat.


Oh and we did have an attack since 9-11. The right wing anthrax attacker killed several people after 9-11. Right wing? yes right wing as he only sent anthrax to former Senator Daschle and Senator Leahy both Democrats.

1. Yes and Yes (nt)

2. 911 attacks were planned before the 2000 elections.

Bin Laden had already declared war on the US years before Bush took the Presidency.

3. Sorry, no.

The 9/11 attacks were simply the worst incident in a string of terrorist attacks directed against US foreign policy dating back to the 1970s. Most Islamic extremists don't give a shit who's in the White House, it's all just one big Great Satan to them.

(Not to say that US engagement with the Taliban pre-9/11 was anything less than shameful, it's a horrible truth that needs to be further exposed. Bush dealt with the worst terrorist regime on the planet, the "Islamic Emirate" of Afghanistan.)

4. Yeah, Senator Daschle and Senator Leahy were such obvious

targets for a foreign terrorist attack. As if anybody outside the United States, not to say many inside it, had any idea who they were.

Now let's see, they were perceived as a danger to ... ?

5. Thank you for bringing this back to the front

of people's minds. He did as he always does, he puts them in a no win situation but they were able to do something about it and they did and now the world suffers.
