I Say Bush Welcomed The 9/11 Attacks - Agree?
There is no other explanation. Bush ignored all those warnings and left our country wide open for attack, knowing how much power he would amass if our homeland was attacked. Just look at how much easier the 9\11 attack made it for him to carry out his PNAC plans.
I am not a conspiracy nut. Every single piece of evidence supports this fact.
Bush left us open for attack for a reason.
Anyone with half a brain, and understanding of how the world works would have to agree America was undefended on purpose.
I repeat. Every single piece of evidence supports this FACT.
Jebbie, get lost.
I repeat. Every single piece of evidence supports this FACT.

4. I think he was expecting an attack.
He thought it would be on a lesser scale.
You can see it in his eyes as he read about the goat.

22. I've always thought this - theyexpected an attack,
just not something this big. Does anyone else recall how Bush went into hiding and was flown all over the country? Cheney was running things from his bunker.It's too bad we'll never hear the details of what Bush and Cheney were actually doing that day.

5. His administration certainly benefited greatly.
They had a free pass to attack any country they wanted.
I don't think Bush was shrewd enough to plan this, or even to allow this to happen. I think we all know someone who is both shrewd and incredibly evil, and therefore capable of any atrocity one could imagine, including refraining from protecting the US from an attack.
But most real conspiracies fold under the weight of the need for secrecy. The people involved tell someone, even if just their spouses, and eventually it gets out. So I disbelieve nearly all conspiracy theories.

7. can't start a war of choice without motivating the people first and 9/11 definately did that.

10. You seem to have decided, so not much point debating the issue...
but, no, I don't attribute to evil intent what can be explained by stupidity.

89. I'm not sure they cared too much about the potential consequences of their actions in Iraq
If they had, they would've listened to Powell and not done it in the first place. But I don't think I would go so far to say that they "welcomed" the death of 3000 Americans either on 9/11/01- as loathsome as I think Bush/Cheney are (and I think that Cheney is the more "evil" of the two. Bush was largely his puppet IMHO- which, of course, doesn't excuse him from any culpability).

26. No. I worked for government.
The 9-11 attacks went off as planned, without being detected, because our "intelligence community" is filled with absolute incompetents who build their careers on agreeing with each other. We have several agencies duplicating each others' efforts, and each agency has a large management hierarchy filled with retired military "intelligence" people, huge numbers of "analysts," and various others too lazy or too stupid to think outside the box. When you work for certain sectors in government, you get to see the products of these brilliant minds. It is absolutely infuriating. They issue warnings and alerts that are absolutely meaningless. I am not exaggerating at all when I say they amount to, "Be on the alert for something that may or may not be a terrorist attack, and may happen soon or later, and appears to have no distinguishing characteristics we can give you." I am not at all surprised there were only a couple people in this "intelligence community" who connected the dots, and I am even less surprised they were ignored or dismissed.
Oh, dear. That will never do.

46. Why didn't Clinton simply arrest the hijackers if they knew everything about them? One phone call was all that was needed, right?
Ooo.... that's gonna burn.

52. And when The Clinton WH told the Bush WH about it and gave them all the intel the Bush WH did nothing at all. Thanks, we all know that.

82. You said Clinton gave them all this great intel.
I guess it wasn't that good after all.

63. The poster I am replying to seems to think it was enough for Bush to arrest them
just trying to figure out what changed after Clinton left office.

33. Bush had a chance to be a hero and ignored his own intel community for 8 months.
He also made an enemy out of the Taliban in this time period. I think he and Cheney indirectly helped cause the attacks by ignoring early warnings. They knew the method and were possibly an attack would happen. They failed to take any kind of act to prevent such an attack.
SO they did help, indirectly by not doing their job. All of them.
So... the taliban were our friends then?
Ah... no.

47. Newspapers in Florida was going to announce the results of their presidential recount of the state of Florida on 9/12. Seeing how Gore won their recount, I would say yes Bush welcomed the 9/11 attacks.
the results of which showed Bush won, so...

81. This type of conspiracy theory Has a place on World Net Daily, not on DU. I'm shocked that there's any support for this wild-eyed speculation on a liberal website. Whatever Bush's flaws, to accuse him of enabling terrorists to kill thousands of Americans is ridiculous.
