Bush was not involved in planning 9-11
By Gustav Wynn
Many who believe the Twin Towers were not brought down by jet fuel alone are quick to suggest the U.S. government took part in the attack.
But I am of the opinion that George Bush and his immediate team were not in on 9-11. I do not feel confident a plan to strike fear into the American people would have ever included portrayal of a government as ineptly prepared or revealed a President as cowardly.
In the kind of irony no scriptwriter could imagine, it recently made news when Senators examined emails Karl Rove's chief aide mistakenly sent incriminating vote-caging lists to his nemesis at georgewbush.org, a parody site selling anti-Bush t-shirts and bumper stickers. But even more revealing was the video tape made during the moments 9-11 was unfolding, showing a humble schoolteacher with a very special guest in her classroom.
It is unfortunate the tape become the centerpiece of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 film as Moore's controversial take on the event overshadowed the drama the raw footage surely had on it's own. Indeed Moore talked right over the clip, which showed George Bush inexplicaby sitting on his ass as American cities burned.
Moore's narrative may be right on the mark - well reasoned speculation that Bush immediately knew it was blowback - payback for our own black bag operations abroad. Surely the clip was much more important on it's own. I believe if every American could have been alone with their thoughts as they first saw that timestamped video, this world would be a better place right now. Moore's "gotcha" moment won him an Oscar and millions in the bank, but deprived America of a chance to make up their own minds on footage Bush surely would never want seen.
Brain research shows most people are extremely resistant to changing beliefs once set, though when they do, are far more likely to based on conclusions made themselves rather then coming from others. This phenomenon of mass psychology was the cornerstone of Reagan's campaign strategies.
In August of 2006 a Vanity Fair article detailing the NORAD tapes of September 11 showed a government dangerously unequipped for the terror in the skies. The greater purpose of propaganda stunts like Hitler's fire in the Reichstag or the frame-up of Nicaraguan rebels is not to villify the enemy as much as to make the leaders look like saviors. The NORAD jet fighters were so slow to react in our defense during 9-11, the US government tried to prevent the response time from reaching the public. Even today, parts of the audio remains secret. But when I discovered Bush was supposed to have been in contact with NORAD commanders standing by to approve a shootdown of hijacked passenger jets, it affirmed what I'd felt when I first saw the "My Pet Goat tape". That Bush was frozen with indecision.
If the US Government knew about 9-11 at any level, only Bush's worst enemy would have coordinated it so he and his whole staff looked so pathetically unprepared and inept to defend us in any way, from the missed daily briefings to the paralysis during the attacks. The ineffectiveness in apprehending Osama bin Laden suggests White House scriptwriters did not figure him to be the heavy in this story - rather they wanted Saddam. Were Bush involved in 9-11, intel would have been fixed around the idea that the hijackers indeed had ties to Iraq. The evidence connecting 9-11 to Saddam was a day late and a dollar short. A pre-existing conspiracy would have cooked up any number of ties leading us right to Saddam's door. Therefore Bush couldn't have been in on 9-11.
Though Bush's contempt for the Constitution emerged in any case, the 9-11 attacks remain unexplained and unavenged, prompting Americans like me to wonder whether further rationale for impeachment might include Bush's ineffectiveness in pursuing America's enemies.

Don't buy any of this tripe...it's just part of a wave of articles trying to take some of the wind out of the truth movement. The White House has increased its legal staff in recent months in preparation for the worst. I say keep the bastards in check by showing how rich BushCo. has become from all of this incompetence, while the tax payers pick up the tab. Murder has no statute of limitations.
What? Are you saying that
What? Are you saying that Rumsfeld,Cheney, Carluci and Daddy Bush didn't let their lapdog in on the plot ?
Isn't he their brother in the Order of Death ? Why wouldn't they ?

I agree with the general
I agree with the general thesis of this essay: that George Bush himself was completely ignorant of the plot and remains clueless of it to this very day. That's why his reactions were so authentic. He wasn't acting, those were his genuine reactions to events that were bewildering to him. And today, he completely believes the Osama/al-Qaeda fairy tale to its last detail, as do so many other Americans of his demographic group.
9/11 was an inside job, but it was pulled of by an outside gang that had intimate connections within the upper reaches of the US government and military. A small number of traitors within those institution facilitated the attacks, and carried out the coverup-- for example, Benjamin Chertoff from his desk in the US Justice Department, overseeing the FBI investigation of the attacks.
Bush was not involved. In fact, it was his job to be out of the loop, and he played that role brilliantly.
If he wasnt involved, he
If he wasnt involved, he never would
have stepped foot in that classroom.
...
" for example, Benjamin Chertoff"
That's Michael Chertoff.
After Bush was read the August 6 briefing -- according to Bob Woodward -- he told the CIA officer, "You've covered your ass."
No follow up was scheduled to find out more about "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."
And, of course, the Genoa Italy incident includes Bush, front and center.

"Many who believe the Twin Towers were not brought down by jet fuel alone are quick to suggest the U.S. government took part in the attack. "
The two questions are distinctly different and one does not have to support the demolition theory to suspect US government involvement. Keep your concepts straight.
"But I am of the opinion that George Bush and his immediate team were not in on 9-11."
How much research have you done into this? What do you know about Mineta's testimony, "Do the orders still stand?" What do you know about the war games? What do you know about Cheney's role as head of "preparedness exercises?" What do you know about Rumsfeld disappearing when his "approval" was required to scramble jets to intercept the hijackings? The numerous warnings? Bush pulled out of his hotel in Genoa Italy because of warnings of this exact scenario?
I'm guessing not a lot.
"I do not feel confident a plan to strike fear into the American people would have ever included portrayal of a government as ineptly prepared or revealed a President as cowardly."
Incompetence seems to work well when people like you refuse to hold them accountable. You're assuming they had control over everything. They did not. They appear inept, because they had to suppress investigations and break the system in order for these attacks to succeed, or they would have been exposed and stopped before the fact.
"But even more revealing was the video tape made during the moments 9-11 was unfolding, showing a humble schoolteacher with a very special guest in her classroom. "
This is evidence of treason. The man sat there while America was "attacked." You just don't understand the situation well enough to post an informed opinion.
"Indeed Moore talked right over the clip, which showed George Bush inexplicaby sitting on his ass as American cities burned."
Bush sat on his ass in an OPEN PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED LOCATION, rather than being secured by Secret Service. Why? To stall for time, because the Pentagon attack was 40 minutes from completion. One reporter noticed Ari Fleischer communicate to Bush on the back of a yellow legal pad, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING YET." (Bill Sammon, Wash. Times)
That same Ari Fleischer lied to the world an hour later aboard Air Force One, "No warnings."
" Moore's narrative may be right on the mark - well reasoned speculation that Bush immediately knew it was blowback - payback for our own black bag operations abroad."
Speculating based on your assumption, informs us of nothing.
"Surely the clip was much more important on it's own. I believe if every American could have been alone with their thoughts as they first saw that timestamped video, this world would be a better place right now."
But you still fail to comprehend the significance of the information.
1) Secret Service moved Bush from his hotel in Genoa Italy on the WARNING of a suicide skyjacking, July 2001.
2) Secret Service doesn't move Bush during REAL suicide skyjackings with multiple planes involved, September 2001.
The Pentagon fails to provide any defense at all with 84 minutes of advanced warning from the time of the first hijacking (8:13am NYTimes).
"Brain research shows most people are extremely resistant to changing beliefs once set"
You really need to check that definition of irony!
"In August of 2006 a Vanity Fair article detailing the NORAD tapes of September 11 showed a government dangerously unequipped for the terror in the skies."
This ignored all the other info about times, communications from FAA, planes sent over the ocean to fly in circles, the numerous war games, Cheney's "order," surface to air missile defenses, etc. David Ray Griffin has an extensive rebuttal to this third Norad story.
" The NORAD jet fighters were so slow to react in our defense during 9-11, the US government tried to prevent the response time from reaching the public."
The PNAC doctrine was to greatly INCREASE MILITARY SPENDING. What better way than to have the military fail egregiously to defend the homeland?
You haven't thought much about these issues.
"Even today, parts of the audio remains secret."
It's ALL SECRET! What the hell do you think we're screaming about!? We've been fed lie after lie, cover up after cover up, and the wars of aggression grind on. And self styled "debunkers" like yourself are just impeding progress. Instead of using your limited capacity for reason to demand accountabilty and justice from the tyrants, you turn your hostility on us.
"But when I discovered Bush was supposed to have been in contact with NORAD commanders standing by to approve a shootdown of hijacked passenger jets, it affirmed what I'd felt when I first saw the "My Pet Goat tape". That Bush was frozen with indecision."
Bush and Cheney testified together behind closed doors with no records at all allowed of their claims. You "discovered" some unverified questionable claims, that is all. I wish you guys would accept reality right in front of your faces. We are being lied to about 9/11, and this is unacceptable.
"If the US Government knew about 9-11 at any level, only Bush's worst enemy would have coordinated it so he and his whole staff looked so pathetically unprepared and inept to defend us in any way, from the missed daily briefings to the paralysis during the attacks."
It was supposed to be a "surprise attack" so that's how it was arranged. There is a concept called "plausible deniability" that you need to familiarize yourself with.
"The ineffectiveness in apprehending Osama bin Laden suggests White House scriptwriters did not figure him to be the heavy in this story - rather they wanted Saddam."
They deliberately LET HIM GO as revealed by CIA officers on the scene at Tora Bora. You have no concept that things can deliberately happen, and that they can get away with it because they hold power.
"Were Bush involved in 9-11, intel would have been fixed around the idea that the hijackers indeed had ties to Iraq."
They didn't have any Iraqi patsies. You are theorizing (vacuously) that things would have been your way, if such and such. They did not have total control. The US administration did not participate with the hijacker patsies. Pakistani ISI, Saudi intelligence and Israeli Mossad were involved to do the heavy lifting. The US government role was apparently, based on the public evidence, to let it happen and to make sure the planes were not intercepted.
"The evidence connecting 9-11 to Saddam was a day late and a dollar short. A pre-existing conspiracy would have cooked up any number of ties leading us right to Saddam's door. Therefore Bush couldn't have been in on 9-11."
The script was "Al Qaeda", and bin Laden. As "Al Qaeda" has no working relationship with secular Iraq, and was its mortal enemy, this was not possible to do. They can't just make up fictional stories, they have to fool their own investigators as much as possible. You fail to understand how Bush and Co. had to convince their own government that this was genuine, so as to misdirect them away from suspicious facts related to high level interference in terrorism investigations.
" the 9-11 attacks remain unexplained and unavenged, prompting Americans like me to wonder whether further rationale for impeachment might include Bush's ineffectiveness in pursuing America's enemies."
They ARE "America's enemies!"
This "war on terror" has been bogus for a long, long time. The terrorism threat is a direct replacement for the communism threat and it has been nurtured, sponsored, protected, armed, trained by US intelligence and its allies, particularly Pakistani and Saudi. Egypt and Israel also play key roles.
Until you understand the overwhelming evidence that US government actually sponsors and encourages "radical Islamic terrorism" you will remain in the dark and posting half-assed speculation that ignores the facts.

Plausible Deniability
I believe the term "Plausible Deniability" was first used and applied to Nixon during Watergate. (that's when I first remember its use, but I could be disremembering that)
Bush probably had that, mostly because he's an idiot and can't really be trusted, but also because that has become S.O.P. for all Presidents, and others.
Personally, I think that's why he has that "Holy SHIT!" look on his face during the seven plus minutes he sat there in that room wondering why his Secret Service detail wasn't whisking him away to safety.
