9/11 - Was the Bush administration

complicit?
by Citizen Sage

The unanswered questions about 9-11 can no longer be ignored. A new, more
comprehensive investigation by the US Congress is required, given all of the unusual
circumstantial evidence on 9-11. Although it happened 6 years ago, the questions
just won’t go away. Unless such an investigation is done, the conspiracy theories will
only gain more traction with the American people and call into doubt what really
happened forever more. Because of the importance of 9-11 in launching America on
a War on Terror and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the issues demand closer review,
than what now appears to have been a whitewash by the first 9-11 Commission.
In Project for a New American Century, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other
prominent neo-cons called for a new “Pearl Harbor” in order to create a pretext for
curtailing American civil liberties and embarking on pre-emptive wars against
regimes they did not like. It is now known that Cheney, Rumsfeld and other neo-cons
within the Bush Administration were planning a war on Iraq long before 9-11, just as
they are now planning for pre-emptive strikes on Iran in defiance of the wishes of the
majority of the American people.
On 9/11/2001, Dick Cheney was coordinating multiple war games intended to
prepare for the type of terrorist strike that happened. Due to the war games, military
personnel that would otherwise be available to respond to 9-11 were otherwise
engaged. Cheney instructed NORAD defenses to stand down that day. He even
instructed that flight 77 be allowed to proceed without being intercepted. Why would
that be, if it was not a false flag event?
After the first plane flew into WTC, George W. Bush was strangely unperturbed and
continued to read a book to elementary school children, despite it obviously being an
disaster of international proportions. When he finished his visit to the school, he was
unable to reach Dick Cheney for an additional period of about 20 minutes, vital time
that could have been used to send rescue helicopters to WTC. Could it be that it was
not a complete surprise?
George W. Bush claimed that there were no prior indications of a 9-11 event,
however in August, he received an intelligence briefing report that specifically
indicated that Osama Bin Ladin was thought to be planning a major terrorist event
and that hijacking of planes was a possible scenario. A NORAD war game planning
event before 9-11 made specific reference to Osama and hijacking. There were
numerous warnings from foreign intelligence services indicating a heightened risk for
terrorism. However, Bush was either ignoring these indicators and/or being dishonest
about it.
Marvin Bush, George W. Bush’s brother, was directly responsible for the security of
the World Trade Center buildings from the 1992 terrorist bombing attack until
53422102.doc Page 2 of 3

September 11, 2001. Ownership of the WTC buildings was changed and insurance for
terrorist acts was increased dramatically only several weeks before 9-11.
Various survivor/witnesses of 9-11 reported hearing explosions just before and as the
buildings collapsed. Authorities attempted to suppress these stories. Brigham Young
Physics Professor J. Jones analyzed dust from the collapsed WTC buildings and found
evidence of demolition explosives. When the buildings collapsed, they came down at
free fall speed, despite having been built to withstand many times their weight and
specifically, a plane wreck. Photos of the metal beams show visual evidence of
liquidization of the metal, due to demolition chemicals. Videos of other high rises that
were purposefully felled by demolition show similar free fall characteristics.
However, where demolition was not done, collapsed high rises do not fall so neatly
and larger pieces remain standing. The heat required to melt the structural elements
of the WTC buildings would not be created by aircraft fuel, similar to kerosene. Also,
the amount of debris from the WTC buildings’ should have been much greater and
there should have been many more larger pieces of debris if the building’s collapse
did not involve additional accelerants.
Some analysts indicate that the preponderance of fine dust is indicative of possible
use of small hydrogen bombs, of the type only available from Israel’s Dimona Nuclear
Reactor. There were several suspicious Israelis who were detained after the 9-11
WTC terrorist explosions, apparently after being seen repeatedly giving each other
“high five” celebratory congratulations. They were quitly released, without
explanation. This sequence of events could be seen as eerily paralleling what
happened in 1967 when Israel was accused by American survivors of deliberately
attempting to sink the USS liberty and kill all aboard. Israel has a history of
fabricating pretexts for pre-emptive strikes on Arab neighbors, including in 1956 and
1967 against Egypt. Israel has been a srong proponent first of the war on Iraq and
now on Iran.
That the FBI confiscated and destroyed all photos of the plane that hit the Pentagon
on 9-11 begs the question of why all the secrecy, if there was nothing to hide? Sure,
there was damage done and people killed, but why no photos of the airplane as it
came in or after it collided? Some conspiracy theorists believe it might have been a
different plane or even a missile that hit the Pentagon. Some believe that one of the
planes that hit the WTC was actually a Boeing fueling plane
Why WTC7 collapsed at 5:30 pm, many hours after the planes collided into the other
two towers is very curious indeed. It also fell without any resistence from its structual
beams. Physics cannot explain how that would hapopen unassisted. The only logical
explanation is that it was helped along with demolition charges and indeed such
evidence was found in the debris.
Despite assurances that a recurrence of 9-11 was impossible, five years later, a small
plane again flew into a New York City highrise. This time it was an American baseball
player who was the pilot and it was an apartment building that was hit. What if it had
been al-Qaeda and the plane had been full of explosives? Just as with the WTC
terrorist event, there was not a single government official who took responsibility for
allowing this to happen! If Americans had to give uyp civil liberties, due tot he so-
called “Patriot Act”, why shouldn’t someone in government be required to accept
responsibility and resign? In other countries, that would happen.
Whether there was active participation by the Bush Administration or 9-11 was
merely allowed to happen, whether or not there was involvement by Israelis or even
whether or not it was perpetrated by al-Qaeda, we deserve a full and open
investigation. There are enough loose ends that 9-11 conspiracy theorists will always
be convinced that we were not given the whole story, unless a comprehensive
investigation is made public. We deserve to know what really happened, regardless
53422102.doc Page 3 of 3

of where the chips fall. The implications are too profound to ignore and pretend that
it has been put to rest. The evidence points towards a cover-up or worse. The issues
are too serious to leave things as they are. America deserves answers, not
obsfucation.
