President Bush Exposed For Provable and Blatant Lies Over September 11th
by article by David Icke, Posted by Harpyr 12:10pm Mon May 20 '02 (Modified on 3:39pm Sun May 26 '02)

Bush made a startling statement about September 11th and I said to my wife - "you won't believe what this guy has just said, I bet the spin doctors are screaming at the screen."

PRESIDENT BUSH EXPOSED FOR
PROVABLE AND BLATANT LIES
OVER SEPTEMBER 11TH

By David Icke

Earlier this month, on December 4th, I was sitting in a hotel bar in Bermuda watching CNN as I killed time waiting for a flight after my talk there. CNN were broadcasting live coverage of a "town meeting" at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, where President Bush was answering non-challenging questions from a sycophantic audience. Then suddenly, as I sipped my beer and despaired at the hero worship being enjoyed by the village idiot, Bush made a startling statement about September 11th and I said to my wife - "you won't believe what this guy has just said, I bet the spin doctors are screaming at the screen."

For the next two days I scanned the newspapers, the Internet "news" sites, etc., including CNN, but there was no mention of the amazing statement he made. Nor had I found any mention of it since. That did not surprise me at all, but now, thanks to Didier, a reader of the David Icke website in Belgium, I have the words that Bush said - ironically posted by the White House website, hidden away in the full transcript of the meeting:
www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/12/20011204-17.html

Bush was talking about what happened on September 11th and how he heard of the atrocities in New York. If you remember, Bush was at a school in Florida where he was taking part in a photo opportunity, which included reading a story about a pet goat to a class of children. The media around the world told us, from White House statements, that Bush heard of the twin tower attacks when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, spoke in his ear in the classroom as he addressed the children. There was the famous picture of Card leaning over Bush accompanied by headlines like: The Moment Bush Knew.

But Bush told the Florida town meeting a very different story. This is what he said about what happened that morning in answer to a question by someone named Jordan:

"Well, Jordan, you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my Chief of Staff, Andy Card -- actually, I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there, I didn't have much time to think about it. And I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my Chief of Staff, who is sitting over here, walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower, America is under attack."

THIS IS STAGGERING - THERE WAS NO LIVE TELEVISION COVERAGE OF THE FIRST PLANE HITTING THE TOWER - HOW COULD THERE BE?? THE FOOTAGE OF THE FIRST CRASH WAS TAKEN BY ONLOOKERS AND SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS AND DID NOT AIR FOR HOURS AND DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED. THERE WAS LIVE COVERAGE OF THE SECOND CRASH, OF COURSE, BUT NOT OF THE FIRST - SO HOW ON EARTH CAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CLAIM TO A PUBLIC MEETING TO HAVE SEEN IT LIVE ON A TELEVISION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM WHERE HE WAS WAITING TO ADDRESS THOSE CHILDREN?? AND WHY HAS NO NEWS ORGANISATION OR "JOURNALIST" PICKED UP THIS FANTASTIC LIE?

And what about that statement about "there's one terrible pilot". What?? A passenger jet crashes into one of the twin towers full of people and all the President of the United States can say is "there's one terrible pilot"!! And then he walks into a classroom to read a story about a pet goat?? God help us. "There's one terrible pilot"? We are not talking a light plane flown by an amateur, but a commerical airliner and even if it had not been a terrorist outrage, it would still have been an enormous tragedy requiring the leadership of the US president. But of course none of this tissue of lies by Bush could have happened because he could not possibly have seen the first crash on live television because there was no live coverage. The fact that Bush KNEW the plane was going to hit the tower is more like it because he, like his masters who orchestrated it, was well aware of what was going to unfold that morning.

AND EVEN AFTER HE CLAIMS THAT HIS CHIEF OF STAFF TOLD HIM OF THE SECOND PLANE, AND THAT "AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK", BUSH WENT ON READING THE STORY ABOUT THE PET GOAT!! YOU SIMPLY COULDN'T MAKE THIS UP, COULD YOU?




As Associated Press reported on September 12th: "In Sarasota, Florida, Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He addressed the tragedy about a half-hour later. "

"Briefly" remained somber?? He's just been told that the New York twin towers have been struck by commercial airliners. Death and destruction on a massive scale was already obvious and the President was "briefly somber" before continuing to read a children's story? Bush told the town meeting:

"But I knew I needed to act. I knew that if the nation's under attack, the role of the Commander-in-Chief is to respond forcefully to prevent other attacks from happening. And so, I've talked to the Secretary of Defense; one of the first acts I did was to put our military on alert."

BUT HE COULD NOT HAVE TALKED TO THE SECRETARY OF DEFENCE UNTIL HE FINISHED THE GOAT STORY AND LEFT THE CLASSROOM AND ONLY THEN DID HE PUT AMERICA ON ALERT. HOW MUCH CRUCIAL TIME WAS LOST THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED, FOR INSTANCE, THE ATTACK ON THE PENTAGON, WHICH HAPPENED 40 MINUTES AFTER THE SECOND TOWER WAS HIT?

Bush has been caught in a monumental lie here and it is just one of the endless daily lies that gush forth from the lips of this lying imbecile, who is currently a national hero. So news media, where are you when a real story is set before you? I would appreciate it if people could circulate this to all the news media you can think of and bombard the White House with requests for a statement about the provable, blatant, lies of the President of the United States about one of the darkest days in US history.

This is the best piece of damning evidence that I have personally seen thus far; Bush has hung himself on this one!

the 12/5/01 transcript from California (english)

QUESTION: And what was the first thing that went through your head when you heard that a plane crashed into the first building?

BUSH: ... I was in the midst of learning about a reading program that works. ...

...Anyway, I was sitting there, and my chief of staff -- well, first of all, when we walked in the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And, you know, I thought it was pilot error. And I was amazed anybody could make such a terrible mistake. And, you know, something was wrong with the plane or, you know.

Anyway, sitting there listening to the briefing, and Andy Card came and said, "America is under attack."

And in the meantime, this teacher was going on about the curriculum, and I was thinking about what it meant for America to be under attack. It was an amazing thought.

But I made up my mind that if America was under attack, we'd get them.

Bush Knows Nothing

You're talking about a man who is out of the loop in his own administration. The poor fool can't even eat a pretzel and watch tv at the same time. My guess is that it's probably Despcable Dick Cheney who knew about all the advance warnings and did nothing so Haliburton could get the contract with UNOCAL to build the pipeline through Afghanistan. That would be worthy of a $34 million bonus...

There is more that meets the eye

Personally, when I saw on the news Bush's "reaction" when Andy Card whispered in his ear? Bush did NOT looked shocked. In fact, on the contrary. He really looked as if to say, "Ah Oh......we better be moving on this one real quick like before anyone figures this out". THAT is what I saw right off!

It is not just Bush though. I am including a website for you to go too. If you want to know more and learn more and are serious enough to take the time to learn WHO really is responsible. Try to keep an open mind as you read:

Bush reaction to 9/11
by Carl 5:09am Sun May 26 '02

Sort of brings to mind the CHallenger disaster. When Reagon was told of the shuttle exploding, during a meeting regarding economic policies, I believe his words were "This is terrible, but can we wait until I finish this meeting? The world goes on" True compasionate conservatism.

Consider, though.......
by Stanislav 1:29pm Sun May 26 '02

Look, I am very convinced that something shady went on conerning 9/11 in the Bush Administration, and I am as far from an apologist or cheerleader for President Shrub as there could be. But I think everyone may be wasting time, effort and blood pressure on this allegedly sinister "smoking gun" remark in which Dubya claimed to have seen the first plane hit the North WTC Tower on TV.

Let's all keep in mind that we have a Chief Executive with the IQ of a turnip. One who has shoe polish on his teeth from the myriad times he has put his foot in his mouth and said something totally stupid. Is it possible -- is it just possible -- that he may have simply misspoken? It would be far from the first time that he had his facts screwed up.

Anything Bush says needs to be taken with not just a grain of salt, but with the entire output of the salt industry. It is a mistake to latch onto a typically discombobulated and syntax-challenged Bush remark simply because it happens to fit into your particular pet theory about what happened on 9/11. Remember that old adage: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

Silly

Who really cares about this? What impact does it have on anyone? Absolutely none.
