Statements from Others

2007-05-29T09:13:00.000-07:00

President Bush says, "They hate ...a democratically elected government..They hate our freedoms --Freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."President George W. Bush Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People Bin Laden says, "the White House hiding the Truth ... the reality is that we are striking them because of their evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World, especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries (Arabian Peninsula)." Previous CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Michael Scheuer has honestly stated that politicans are lying to the American people about the terrorists motive, "The politicians really are at great fault for not squaring with the American people. We're being attacked for what we do in the Islamic world, not for who we are or what we believe in or how we live. And there's a huge burden of guilt to be laid at Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, both parties for simply lying to the American people."

Jason Burke, author of Al-Qaeda: The True Story of Radical Islam, makes the point that, "Bin Laden is an activist with a very clear sense of what he wants and how he hopes to achieve it. Those means may be far outside the normal of political activity as we usually understand it, but his agenda is a basically political one, though it is couched, of course, in religious language and imagery." He says bin Laden's aim is "to end the repression of the Islamic world by the hypocrite governments and the 'Crusader-Zionist' alliance supporting and manipulating them."

Responsability

As media covered the 9/11 attacks describing many quickly wounder that Bin Laden was behind the attacks. In many hours of the attacks, the FBI was able to decide the names and in many cases the details like the dates of birth, known and/or possible residences, visa status, and specific identity of the suspected pilots and hijackers. Mohamed Atta's luggage, which he did not make the connection from nthe Portland flight onto American Airlines Flight 11 contained papers that revealed the identity of all 19 hijackers, and other important clues about their plans, motives and backgrounds.

On the day of the attacks, the National Security Agency found communications that pointed to Osama bin Laden. The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks leading the United States was formed by the United States government and was commonly called the 9/11 Commission. It released its report on July 22,2004 saying that the attack were visualize and apply by the members of al-Qaeda. The Commission stated that 9/11 plotters spent about $400,000 to $500,000 to plan and conduct their attack.

WHY DIDINT OUR FBI, CIA AND MILITARY PROTECT US?

2007-03-20T15:15:00.000-07:00

President Clinton asked two attack submarines to stand watch over the Taliban and bin Laden's terrorists. Bush ordered the sub to stand down. Bush have eliminated those safeguards. There was a former CIA agent that appered on BBC TV saying that "We were just told, You get caught spying on the Saudis or looking into affairs, and you will lose your head!". The agents have said that Bush have turned a "blind eye" to terrorism by ordering the CIA and FBI to back off the Saudi terror suspects like Osama bin Laden's brothers.FBI Agents and Minneapolis Chief Counsel Coleen Rowley wrote "The Minneapolis agents who responded to the call about Moussaoui's flight training identified him as a terrorist threat from a very early point." Rowley's memo confirmed that the FBI knew alot to arrest the terrorist before the accident of 9/11.

If bush didint have nothing to do with 9/11 then why would he stop the FBI or the CIA investigating on what was going on. If he was really looking after our safety he would have took more actions then what he did. Even though we really dont know what is really going on because the president or anyone else want to tell us I think that the president is hidding something bigger then we expect because he would just stop paying for things to protect the country if it wouldnt help him or benefit him in some way.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

2007-03-20T14:49:00.000-07:00

If theres nothing to hide then why is George Bush blocking a full public inquiry into 9/11. Richard Cheney threatens Democrats to keep quiet. The people have the rights and know what happened. " Senator Bob Torricelli added " We do not meet our responsibilities to the American people if we do not take an honest look at the federal government and all of its agencies and let the country know what went wrong." Republicans "quietly set aside legislation that would establish an independent commission to investigate the terrorist of Sept. 11, 2001."

Certain memebers of Congress maintain control over the investigation is what matters. How about the families of those murdered in the Sept. 11 want an independent investigation. It also doesnt matter that theres any intelligence and security experts that believe an independent investigation is the wisest course for the country. How about the limited scope of the congressional investigation will fail to adress important concerns like the transportation security and immigration among others.

DID BUSH CAUSE THE 9/11 ATTACK?

2007-03-09T13:27:00.000-08:00

The first passenger jet flew into the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:35 A.M. The at 9:03 A.M the second jet flew into the South tower of the World Trade Center. George W. Bush was told about the second jet and he just sat quietly reading "My Pet Goat" to childrens from a school for about another 8 minutes. On August 6, 2001 Bush was given a national security memo that warned of a possible attack by al-Qaeda during the next few weeks using hijacked aircraft by al-Qaeda agents already inside the United States. The way Bush responded was by taking a long vacation at his ranch in Crawford. That was not the first warning Bush received about this threat. This was just one of many of a long list of warnings and security recommendations.

Facts

Bush stopped Clinton's Saudi money tracking system.

Bush told FBI to stop investigating Saudi money connection.Someone in Bush cabinet allowed the evacuation of bin Laden family member from the U.S..

Rumsfeld threatened a veto when Congress proposed to shift $600 million from Bush's Star Wars program to counter-terror programs prior to 9/11.

Despite increased threat warning Tenet only briefed Bush twice in August 17 and 31. This is usually a daily briefing.

These facts may just be coincidences, between the Bush administration, the Saudis, al-Qaeta, and the terrorist. 9/11 was the perfect excuse the Bush administration needed to do what they have been doing; starting a costly long term war in Iraq, running up huge budget deficits for as far as be projected, rolling back civil liberties of American citizens, and using the war on terror as an excuse for massive increases in military budgets.

Did the Bush administration know about 9/11 in advance? Did they help plan 9/11? Are they profiting from 9/11?...No one really knows and these are important questions that needs to be answered to understand what really happend on 9/11 and who was behind it.

WARNINGS!!

2007-03-07T11:22:00.000-08:00

U.S officials had several warnings that terroirsts might attack the United States on its home soil even by using airplanes as weapons. Before September 11,2001 attack two congressional committees said in a report released Wednesday. In 1998, U.S. intelligence had information about a group of unidentified Arabs planned to fly an explosives laden airplane into the World Trade Center according to a joint inquiry of the House and Senate intelligence committees. The Federal Aviation Administration believed originating outside the United States would be detected before it reached its target inside the country, the report said. The FBI's New York office took no action on the information.

Later on another alert came just a month before the attack. That was when the CIA sent a message to the FAA warning of a possible hijacking or an act of a sabotage against a commercial airliner.

Early 1994 the goevernment received information that international terrorists "had seriously considered the use of airplanes as a means of carrying out terroist attacks" the report says.
It said that in 1998, officials received reports concerning a "bin Laden plot involving aircraft in the New York and Washington, areas." Officials received reports that al Qaeda was trying to establish an operative cell in the United States and that bin Laden was attempting to recruit a group of five to seven young men from the United States to travel to the Middle East for training in conjunction with his plans to strike U.S. domestic targets.

Stephen Push, who lost his wife in the World Trade Center, told lawmakers at the hearing, "Our loved ones paid the ultimate price for the worst American intelligence failure since Pearl Harbor."

PENTAGON ATTACK

2007-03-07T10:19:00.000-08:00

One of the proof that 9/11 was an act of United States Sponsored Terrorisn comes from an examination of the Pentagon Attack. As seen in the picture the intense fireball coming from the inside of the building no wreckage of an airline crash is apparent. The Pentagon Attack was not from a Boeing. The plane that hit the Pentagon decended too fast and also too sharply for it to be a Boeing. The Pentagon Attack Damage to the interior was too deep to be from the liquid fuel of an airliner. It is posible that it might have been a missle or a explosive device that damaged the Pentagon. There was a large trailer just in from of the pentagon this confirms by witness like the ASCE report. That the trailer was in the same spot that the pentagon was hit. The question is "How could any witness say they saw a plane hit the pentagon?" Wouldnt they instead say "I saw a plane hit a trailer in front of the pentagon?" These are two of many questions investigators try to find a answer to. No one knows what really happened and it still is a mystery to them. It seems weird how the pieces that were found of the plane that hit the pentagon doesnt match with the other planes of American Airlines. Theres just to much unanswered questions to find out exactly what and how it happened.

They Knew that People in Iraq wanted to bomb us before and this wasnt the first time but no one knew it was going to hit us by two planes.There were alot of lives lost during the attack.
