Did Bush really have something to do with 9.1.1?

Question

I hear alot of stuff about that, like he had something to do with it. I just want opinions, not people that hate alot. (I want facts.

Answer 1

You ask for it:
In order for the 9/11 conspiracies to work the following must happen without any problems. If anything were to go slightly wrong it would have failed.

1. The entire military change of command that would be necessary to fire a missile would have to keep absolutely silent. That would include the pilots, ground crews, and those who are held accountable for the missiles.
2. There were have to be a record time explosives experts rigging the WTC without the chief of security of the WTC (He was nations best expert on terrorism) not noticing them working in the WTC.
3. The list of eyewitnesses who saw the plane crash into the Pentagon all had to be briefed and all their stories had to be prefect.
a. Partial list: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blflight77w.htm
b. Another view: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0203/S00134.htm
4. Also you have to everyone part of executing the plan to remain absolutely silent and not leaks.
a. Other problems explain better than I: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blflight77.htm
5. For those want to bring up the reason why the hijackers are not listed on the manifest please read. http://www.marsearthconnection.com/manifests.html
6. Please remember the claims how dumb Bush is and Washington is town that can’t keep one affair secret.
7. Let us not forget all the recorded (YES) recorded phone calls between the passengers and people on the ground. How they relay the information so that the hijackers were id so quickly.
8. Jews didn’t show up to work fiction:

9. For the WTC 7 question I direct you to: http://wtc.nist.gov/progress_report_june04/appendixl.pdf
10. For the myth about explosive material found at the WTC. Lets consider the following:
Fluorite

commonly occurs in limestone formations

a. I am using CBS for a reason so you don’t ***** if I used Fox.
b. Don’t like CBS how about this right wing rag Scientific America

12. Just found this gem from the explosive experts.
a.
b.

Finally it comes down to this what is the motivation for all the conspiracies?

Is their hate for Bush so great they are willing to trash the memories and heroes of 9/11 in order to make Bush look bad? The answer by all the web sites and who is backing them is a resounding YES!

The good news is there are others who believe you.

Answer 2

Popular Mechanics had a good article a few years ago. I am thinking it was 2002, but can't be more specific than that. Anyway, they researched all of the different conspiracy theories and concluded that there was absolutely no way that Bush could have possibly contrived something like that. The article explained how the building collapsed and how the attacks were carried out. In addition, with all of the animosity that is present towards Bush, would there not have been some kind of solid evidence presented by the media if Bush really were the cause of 9-11? I don't have the article anymore, but I imagine that you might be able to get it from their archives

Answer 3

All I know is that W's first year in office was a shambles. His controversial election had divided congress and the nation to a point where it seemed Bush would go down in history as the most ineffective president ever. He quickly became the butt of all jokes and the laughing stock of American media. . .But then came 9/11, and everyone stopped laughing. Terrified legislators were ready to cooperate and now Bush is unstoppable. I hate to think that the man would sacrifice that many lives for his own personal gain, but that's how it seems to me.

Answer 4

Of course he did! And he also mounted big fans on his yacht so he could blow the hurricanes away from Florida so they would not hit his brothers state. He also manufactured all the evidence so most of the world believed Saddam had WMD's and was a threat.
Of course he had to do this years before he was President just in case he was ever elected. Because the intelligence community including Bill Clinton said Saddam was a threat and something should be done.
Get real---there are conspiracy nuts galore. Just think how this could be done. He would have had to fool the entire UN, The British government, our own government, who almost unanimously voted for the war before they voted against the war. The cover up would be impossible to hide if he really blew up the planes and towers, blew up the levies...don't you think it would have leaked by now? In a country where reporters make up their own stories without any thought of truth, do you not think it would have come out?

Answer 5

No. as much as I loathe the guy, he isn't at the back of 9/11. he's never finished something precise in his finished life and somewhat could not have performed 9/11. His basically failing isn't actively engaging in his interest as president in the days earlier the attack. He enable the yankee human beings down by potential of not examining the intelligence briefings and not enticing himself in the interest to hand. in some unspecified time sooner or later GDW will could desire to attain he has a "real" interest this time and failure isn't an option.

Answer 6

Ok well people say Bush got a coded message from Osama but this is once again not true as we would have tightened security and all things that go to the President are sensored so Bush wouldn't have been the only one to know about this over 5 people would have known and they risk death if they did know about it as this would be treason and Bush would be killed to even if he did know about it wich he didn't.

Answer 7

I dont believe Bush had anything to do with 9/11. He would not even think about doing that or in any way help doing it. CIA might have had a hand - its very difficult to understand the operational details and strategic goals of CIA. I am also not sure if CIA would do that in USA, they are fully capable of carrying out this sort of an operation elsewhere. You never know, if the strategic objective was too big then they would not mind killing few thousands in their own soil. Remember Osama Bin Laden was CIA's man in Afghanistan earlier. Lot of coincidences.

Answer 8

The US government and Presidnet Bush may have been warned about 9/11, but they didn't set it up like some theorists think.
There are too many people who would have needed to know what went on and it would have leaked. Plus there are lots of very smart people out there who could have figured it out if there was a government plot.

Answer 9

other than that he was President on 9/11/2001, no

Answer 10

I agree with tomb. You should do your own research - otherwise the Truth will never be truly yours.

Answer 11

Go to Google. Type in "Bush, 911". Draw your conclusions from your own research.
