How did 9-11 happen to occur during Bush's first year in office?

Question

The Administration knew of Osama......and possibly the likelihood of an attack on American soil utilizing planes. Where was Bush?

Answer 1

Ignorging all the facts he was receiving from the experts. He was smiling for the cameras and celebratiang,that he fooled the American people enough to get elected.

Answer 2

The Clinton administration knew about Osama too. In fact, the 9/11 attacks were planed during the latter part of the 90's. Where was Clinton?

The fact is, all of our leaders were asleep at the switch - Republican and Democrat alike.

Answer 3

Reports of insider trading on 9/11 are false, because the SEC investigated and found only respectable investors who will remain nameless involved, and no terrorists, so the windfall profit-taking was merely, as ever, coincidental.

That heightened security for the World Trade Centre was lifted immediately prior to the attacks illustrates that it always happens when you least expect it.

That Hani Hanjour, the pilot of Flight 77, was so incompetent he could not fly a Cessna in August, but in September managed to fly a 767 at excessive speed into a spiraling, 270-degree descent and a level impact of the first floor of the Pentagon, on the only side that was virtually empty and had been hardened to withstand a terrorist attack, merely demonstrates that people can do almost anything once they set their minds to it.

That none of the flight data recorders were said to be recoverable even though they were located in the tail sections, and that until 9/11, no solid-state recorder in a catastrophic crash had been unrecoverable, shows how there's a first time for everything.

That Mohammed Atta left a uniform, a will, a Koran, his driver's license and a "how to fly planes" video in his rental car at the airport means he had other things on his mind.

The mention of Israelis with links to military-intelligence having been arrested on Sept 11 videotaping and celebrating the attacks, of an Israeli espionage ring surveiling DEA and defense installations and trailing the hijackers, and of a warning of impending attacks delivered to the Israeli company Odigo two hours before the first plane hit, does not deserve a response. That the stories also appeared in publications such as Ha'aretz and Forward is a sad display of self-hatred among certain elements of the Israeli media.

That multiple military wargames and simulations were underway the morning of 9/11 – one simulating the crash of a plane into a building; another, a live-fly simulation of multiple hijackings – and took many interceptors away from the eastern seaboard and confused field commanders as to which was a real hijacked aircraft and which was a hoax, was a bizarre coincidence, but no less a coincidence.

That the National Military Command Center ops director asked a rookie substitute to stand his watch at 8:30 am on Sept. 11 is nothing more than bad timing.

That a recording made Sept 11 of air traffic controllers’ describing what they had witnessed, was destroyed by an FAA official who crushed it in his hand, cut the tape into little pieces and dropped them in different trash cans around the building, is something no doubt that overzealous official wishes he could undo.

That the FBI knew precisely which Florida flight schools to descend upon hours after the attacks should make every American feel safer knowing their federal agents are on the ball.

That a former flight school executive believes the hijackers were "double agents," and says about Atta and associates, "Early on I gleaned that these guys had government protection. They were let into this country for a specific purpose," and was visited by the FBI just four hours after the attacks to intimidate him into silence, proves he's an unreliable witness, for the simple reason there is no conspiracy.

That Jeb Bush was on board an aircraft that removed flight school records to Washington in the middle of the night on Sept 12th demonstrates how seriously the governor takes the issue of national security.

To insinuate evil motive from the mercy flights of bin Laden family members and Saudi royals after 9/11 shows the sickness of the conspiratorial mindset.

Le Figaro’s report in October 2001, known to have originated with French intelligence, that the CIA met Osama bin Laden in a Dubai hospital in July 2001, proves again the perfidy of the French.

That the tape in which bin Laden claims responsibility for the attacks was released by the State Department after having been found providentially by US forces in Afghanistan, and depicts a fattened Osama with a broader face and a flatter nose, proves Osama, and Osama alone, masterminded 9/11.

Answer 4

KARMA---On September 11, 1990, Bush (the first one)told a joint session of Congress that "following negotiations and promises by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein not to use force, a powerful army invaded its trusting and much weaker neighbor, Kuwait. Within three days, 120,000 troops with 850 tanks had poured into Kuwait and moved south to threaten Saudi Arabia. It was then I decided to act to check that aggression." However, according to Jean Heller of the St. Petersburg Times (of Florida), the facts just weren't as Bush claimed. Satellite photographs taken by the Soviet Union on the precise day Bush addressed Congress failed to show any evidence of Iraqi troops in Kuwait or massing along the Kuwait-Saudi Arabian border. While the Pentagon was claiming as many as 250,000 Iraqi troops in Kuwait, it refused to provide evidence that would contradict the Soviet satellite photos. U.S. forces, encampments, aircraft, camouflaged equipment dumps, staging areas and tracks across the desert can easily be seen. But as Peter Zimmerman, formerly of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in the Reagan Administration, and a former image specialist for the Defense Intelligence Agency, who analyzed the photographs for the St. Petersburg Times said:
We didn't find anything of that sort [i.e. comparable to the U.S. buildup] anywhere in Kuwait. We don't see any tent cities, we don't see congregations of tanks, we can't see troop concentrations, and the main Kuwaiti air base appears deserted. It's five weeks after the invasion, and from what we can see, the Iraqi air force hasn't flown a single fighter to the most strategic air base in Kuwait. There is no infrastructure to support large numbers of people. They have to use toilets, or the functional equivalent. They have to have food.... But where is it?

Answer 5

The planning for 9/11 took place while Democrats held office. The planning took place as a result of Democrat policies implemented during Clinton's years. The hijackers entered this country and trained while Clinton was the president.

What else do you want?

Answer 6

From experience in M.I. the threads one pick up are usually very sketchy. IF you are willing to die to kill others, it isn't easy to stop. It take very little intelligence. If one just looks at history one can see many examples of ways to kill others with low tech devices.

To stop all the innumerable ways to create terror one has to be constantly alert, & thinking of scenarios that others could employ. Those that beleave in conspiracys will inturn think the ones attempting to stop the terrorist did it, instead of the terrorist.

Answer 7

bush was busy trying to set up in the white House while gore...the loser was trying to stop him in court...and as just proven by many many who worked for bubba...NO... comprehensive ANYTHING was given to the bush white house...and while bubba "fiddled" with interns the terrorists "planned.."trained for" and was ready on 9/11...with gore being an "obstructionist" so that bush could not use anything at his disposal....he was there...with every obstacle possible thrown in his path...and he is the one to fight the enemy...not feckless president priaprism....bubba has just shown the world the lies he spewed...and the Dem's will once again suffer for this imbecile.

Answer 8

He was in Fla. reading my pet frog to some little kids. He should have been in Texas with Al Gore in the white house and maybe it would have never happened.

Answer 9

Although it happened after being in office 8mos. or so his ineptness and poor background for the job caused he and his staff to let very important intelligence warnings get by them.

Answer 10

The libs are screaming loud enough for Bush taking action after we were attacked. Can you imagine the hell they would raise if he took action BEFORE we were attacked?
