I have from day 1 = 911 believed Bushinc ordered this, facilitated it in some way, far more than just an oversight on the intel.
Reasons: I will never forget as I watched the tv that day, after first plane hit, I said "where's the military birds in the air to intercept"...more especially so when enough time passed and 2nd plane hit. I was a kid when my father was stationed at SAC in Omaha, but know enough to know that the absence of miitary defense is a good indicator of something else going on.
I will never forget look on GW's face that day, didn't need Farenheit 911 to remind me, it registered in me the day of 911
The buildings came down in implosion style, not realistic, in my mind of how it would have gone down if it was the jet fuel only.
Not unlike the JFK assassination, there are things that register at gut level that no amount of spin explanations can explain away.
Nothing scientific in what I'm posting, just my gut feelings. Will be curious to see what others have to say.

"Bush's "Christian" Blood Cult
Concerns Raised by the Vatican"
by WAYNE MADSEN
http://www.counterpunch.org/madsen04222003.htmlcontains the following:
""...Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs, and his constant references to "evil doers," in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations - the anti-Christ. People close to the Pope claim that amid these concerns, the Pontiff wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations. John Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament. Before he became Pope, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla said, "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel." The Pope, who grew up facing the evils of Hitler and Stalin, knows evil when he sees it. Although we can all endlessly argue over the Pope's effectiveness in curtailing abuses within his Church, his accomplishments external to Catholicism are impressive.
According to journalists close to the Vatican, the Pope and his closest advisers are also concerned that the ultimate acts of evil - the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon - were known in advance by senior Bush administration officials. By permitting the attacks to take their course, there is a perception within the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy that a coup d'etat was implemented, one that gave Bush and his leadership near-dictatorial powers to carry out their agenda.""

Nothing would surprise me with these people. I remember reading, it was either in Phillips' American Dynasty or Dean's Worse than Watergate, that one of the Bush brothers - Marvin or Neil -was responsible for the security of the Twin Towers. There was an implication of complicity there. It seemed like a wild theory, but look at what has happened since then.
These are power-hungry evil people with no conscience whatsoever. The only thing that motivates them - AND IT'S NOT RELIGION - is money. I hope to god that all of this catches up with them. There has to be retribution in this life. Or like someone said above, karma.

I couldn't agree more on the proposition that GWB may very well be the anti-Christ, and thus capable of any kind of horror imaginable. Apparently the Skull and Bones society uses the terms Gog and Magog in their naming of new initiates, and George Bush qualified for the name Magog by describing the most sexual encounters of any new initiate the year he joined. Any Biblical scholar can tell you that Magog is a term related to Revelation and the end of time. In addition, translating the Roman alphabet letters for George Bush into the Hebrew, and then adding the numeric values of the Hebrew letters, leads to a total numeric value of 666 for Bush's name. Bush is the son of an earthly ruler (rather than a Heavenly one), his power derives from the Middle East (oil), he came to power in the year that Nostradamus predicted the Anti- Christ would rise , he came to power by illigitimate means, and he's used his Presidency to solidify the most extreme control over the civil rights of American citizens that has ever occurred in the history of this country. And, he came to power after the creation of the nation of Israel (a must in all predictions of Revelations), he is the first world ruler since the creation of that country to have the absolute ability, through our military arsenal, to control the entire planet. I really don't know what other evidence is needed, especially when added to the fact that he's done nothing positive for mankind since he entered the white House. He's been totally anti environment (God's creation), his policies are intended to keep the poor poor, the sick without medical care, and the world in a constant state of warfare.
That he could plan 911 is no surprise to me- I've suspected it all along. This guy is a monster, and the world will be better off when Americans figure that out, though I'm beginning to doubt they ever will.

I don't know if Bush ordered it but here is something that sort of fits in. That OBL tape just before the election might have been saying something like: " You are responsible for your own security. If you elect Kerry and he comes after me, I will attack you. Keep Bush and we will both be secure." Bush has not been aggressive in going after Bin Laden and hence, the choice may be relative security from attacks now in exchange for a really bigger one later on - -a little like pay me now or pay me later. This scenario Moore pointed out with the Bush family connection to the Saudi's and Bin Ladens is fascinatng. It could make for an interesting movie.
Anyway, I think the OBL tape threw the election to Bush since it got people thinking of where they were more secure. And that is what Bin Laden wanted.

I believe they were and are just hiding incompetence. The conspiracy stuff can be debunked quite a bit by reading the 911 commision reports, and basic common sense. If Bush were to stage an attack on US it wouldn't be in a financial district, he would have hit something less damaging to economy. He wouldn't take out WTC, he would pick a civilian target but not one that pretty much assures a bad financial setting for first four years of presidency. The economic damage of this hit was far more then destruction and clean up. It was the center of trade!! He would have hit broadway or a stadium or a differenet populated area. The theory isn't sensible. The economic damage actually hurt his supporters wallets!! Id be willing to bet if it was inside plan, theyd do something that would actually cause profit opportunities, rather then cost billions in economic damage.

I disagree with this. GWB could care less about what happens to this country financially. Look at what he is doing to the economy with his fake war. Look at how much money he is probably making over there while the country suffers and people die.
It is too sad, and bush only cares about himself. Choosing a financial target gives him the excuse to point at something outside of himself and divert the blame to that instead of taking responsibility for his actions.

I posted this on another thread:
On 9/11, I lived just below the City on the Jersey Coast. So many of us went to the beach becuse we could see the towers and the smoke and the collapse. I was sitting inside at a friend's business having coffee and spoke with a 30's aged man who is Russian. He lived in the Turtle Bay section of NYC, near the UN. His father, who is a retired Russian diplomat called the son on the Friday before 9/11 and told his son he and his mother would be in NYC on Sunday and to make reservations at a hotel away from the City, that is why they were in Jersey. I sat on a bench with this man's father and he was in shock, he told me 'if they accomplish everything they plan to do today, your country will never be the same'. My answer to him 'You don't understand Americans, we may differ among ourselves but we are individually and collectively a strong people'.
The son told me that it was known that this event, 9/11, was going to occur. After spending hours sitting with these people, at the beach and in a hotel lobby watching what was unfolding, the mother, when the first building collapsed, came and sat next to me and held my hand. She was in panic as if she was bracing for more. I have no doubt that our government knew.
I am one of those people who paid to see Fahrenheit 9/11 and then bought the movie. I watched GW sitting in the chair in that classroom in Florida, his focus on a goat. SAD
I will never believe that we have been told the truth about 9/11!

I had thought he said something to the effect it made no difference, he'd go after whoever went after him, but maybe I misheard. Anyone have a link to the full text?
In any respect, I thought the most telling part of the OBL tape was when he said he'd pretty much bankrupt us from our "war on terror" This is how

Who wants to believe that our President, (whether we happen to like him or not), would be behind an attack on this country, or our VP or any of them for that matter. I can't wrap my mind around that either.
I think there are plenty of facts to look at without having to go into conspiracy theories at all, and those facts are bad enough.
Al-Qada attacked us, BinLaden, and we started off attacking the right country (Afghanistan) to get the bad guys, but then we invaded one that had nothing to do with it, no WMD's, no ties to Al-Qada. What the heck? To put us in more debt for war when we were already in trouble after the stock market tanked, with no WMD's, and no existing danger or threat to us (don't tell me about possible ones, that and a dime won't buy you a cup of coffee), what is the rationale behind that? I consider that incompetent.
I think the spending habits of GWB have to make most moderates and true believers in fiscal conservatism (like me) break out in hives. The war debt and tax cut debts are huge, but hey, we still have the social security transition debt, more tax cut debts, and God knows what else. People who live in the condition this country is in usually end up out in the street.
He has not done one damn thing to encourage companies to keep jobs here, and continues to reward them for sending them elsewhere, while simultaneously making it easier to insource more people on visas to take more of our jobs.
That is start, but I could go on and on. There are so many evident, tangible things about our President that show the huge damage he is doing to this country, why do we need conspiracy theories?
The facts are enough of a horror show!

This is not true at all. The amount of taxpayer money that will go into the rebuilding of the freedom tower + the sales of military equipment will be worth far more than the so-called "economic loss." But putting the world on a war footing, they have now good reason to increase the size of the military and place greater control on the civil rights of all people, while shirking their responsibilities for health insurance and social security. Not only increasing the size of the military here in the US, but every nation will start having to purchase more military equipment. Now, even nations like Brazil have nuclear reactors that could produce nuclear weapons....

If you were Chenney/Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld would you involve the little Bush? Of couse not! Much too risky. Bush is just the front man, selected for the job by the machine. (did you see the PBS show on Bush and Kerry's history? Interesting how little Bush was "interviewed" by George Schultz prior to being selected to run in 2000).
It is much more likely that the radical Neo-con gang knew something was coming and deliberately looked the other way (consistent with Richard Clarke's frustration at such little interest in Al Queda from the Bush admin 'principals'). There may have even been some help from this gand along the way, such as using Pakistan's CIA-equivalent organization to assist the 9-11 terrorists with finances, logistics and possibly even gave help to top Al Queda leaders in their escape from Afganistan (while the US went in strangely late and with such small force).
Also, forget all these remote-control theories, and grounding of our military planes etc. Too much risk to involve anyone other than the inner circle. And operations like these must always leave no trail and provide complete and total 'deniability'.

HE'S the one that killed our people at the WTC and the Pentagon, not Saddam Hussein. Bush has cost you 1200 of your sons and daughters and $200 billion to veer off and pursue his own fantasy in Iraq.

http://www.rense.comThis website shows how the NeoCon coverup was done, it was likely a military plane or small missle.

What was there makes far more sense to me.
I think it is human nature for us to look some "madman" reason for these attacks; it is tough to realize that, in some sense, we brought this sort of response on ourselves (via our arrogant foreign policies).
Don't get me wrong: I think that we need to fight a war against Al-Qeda (sp) and I don't think that we are any more evil than any other country. But we ARE much more powerful and therefore our mistakes affect many more people than the mistakes made by other countries; hence given our might we need to be MORE moral and humble than other nations.
But we also need to be more humble abroad. Our response to this horrible Tsunami is a good start.

Don't get me wrong: I think that we need to fight a war against Al-Qeda (sp) and I don't think that we are any more evil than any other country. But we ARE much more powerful and therefore our mistakes affect many more people than the mistakes made by other countries; hence given our might we need to be MORE moral and humble than other nations.
But we also need to be more humble abroad. Our response to this horrible Tsunami is a good start.
I agree it was our foreign policy which brought us 911. Only changing that policy can end this endless war.
OBL attacked us primarily for two reasons: first, our military presence in Saudi Arabia, second, our support for Israel and her subjugation of the Palestinian people.
We have withdrawn our troops from Saudi Arabia. Next, we must withdraw all of our support from Israel. Then there will be a halt to AQ attacks against us, and essentially the war will end.

Kerry should have copied the tape and made an ad. He puts the tape in a VCR and
the OBL tape was a set up from the Bush campaign and the US swallowed it. Kerry should have been screaming that OBL hadn't been found by bush etc etc. I think our campaign was pretty spineless not to have counteracted this.

I think you are right!! I don't think Bush is smart enough to be a dictator. However, CHENEY IS, actually his wife is. Bush is a puppet.
