New York Times: White House Didn’t Stop 9/11 Because It Thought “Bin Laden Was Merely PRETENDING To Be Planning An Attack ...
It has been thoroughly documented that 9/11 was entirely foreseeable … including Al Qaeda’s plans to fly planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
It has been extensively documented that the White House decided to invade Iraq before 9/11:
- The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted “crap” in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney said a Bush administration might “have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.” And see this.
- Cheney made Iraqi’s oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And the Sunday Herald reported: “Five months before September 11, the US advocated using force against Iraq … to secure control of its oil.” (remember that Alan Greenspan, John McCain, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, a high-level National Security Council officer and others all say that the Iraq war was really about oil.)
(Indeed, neoconservatives planned regime change throughout the Middle East and North Africa 20 years ago; and the neoliberals are no different)
Right after 9/11, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld accused Iraq of having a hand in the attacks. People may not remember now, but – at the time – the supposed Saddam-9/11 link was at least as important a justification for the Iraq war as the alleged weapons of mass destruction.
Bush and Cheney then launched a systematic program of torture in an attempt to create false evidence – through false confessions – of a link between Iraq and 9/11. The torture techniques used were Communist techniques specifically designed to produce false confessions.
This claim that Iraq is linked to 9/11 has since been debunked by the 9/11 Commission, top government officials, and even – long after they alleged such a link – Bush and Cheney themselves.
The 9/11 Commission found that the White House and its Defense Department obstructed justice in numerous ways to deflect blame for 9/11.
Today, the New York Times adds a bizarre new wrinkle to this story:
I have read excerpts from many of [the still-classified Presidential Daily Briefs] … and come to an inescapable conclusion: the administration’s reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed. In other words, the Aug. 6 document, for all of the controversy it provoked, is not nearly as shocking as the briefs that came before it. The direct warnings to Mr. Bush about the possibility of a Qaeda attack began in the spring of 2001. By May 1, the Central Intelligence Agency told the White House of a report that “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. Weeks later, on June 22, the daily brief reported that Qaeda strikes could be “imminent,” although intelligence suggested the time frame was flexible.
But some in the administration considered the warning to be just bluster. An intelligence official and a member of the Bush administration both told me in interviews that the neoconservative leaders who had recently assumed power at the Pentagon were warning the White House that the C.I.A. had been fooled; according to this theory, Bin Laden was merely pretending to be planning an attack to distract the administration from Saddam Hussein, whom the neoconservatives saw as a greater threat. Intelligence officials, these sources said, protested that the idea of Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist, conspiring with Mr. Hussein, an Iraqi secularist, was ridiculous, but the neoconservatives’ suspicions were nevertheless carrying the day.
In response, the C.I.A. prepared an analysis that all but pleaded with the White House to accept that the danger from Bin Laden was real.
“The U.S. is not the target of a disinformation campaign by Usama Bin Laden,” the daily brief of June 29 read, using the government’s transliteration of Bin Laden’s first name. Going on for more than a page, the document recited much of the evidence ….
And the C.I.A. repeated the warnings in the briefs that followed.
***
Yet, the White House failed to take significant action. Officials at the Counterterrorism Center of the C.I.A. grew apoplectic. On July 9, at a meeting of the counterterrorism group, one official suggested that the staff put in for a transfer so that somebody else would be responsible when the attack took place, two people who were there told me in interviews. The suggestion was batted down, they said, because there would be no time to train anyone else.

Wow...you're really ate up with this shit aren't you? Thats a lot of crap to wade through, which is generally the idea...but I'll touch on the highlights to amuse and perhaps enlighten you.
"...and there are very reasonable questions about how devoutly Muslim they actually were."
In a religion and among men who's world view toward women and "ïnfidels" in general is what it is...really? Iran condones the raping of the condemned (virgins or otherwise). They don't think like westerners spud. Their morality is not the same as ours. Look up the word taqiyya and perhaps you will begin to understand unless you prefer to lie to yourself.
"More interestingly, several of them showed up alive after the fact, which Mueller had to admit."
An on-going investigation, in the early stages, invariably has dead ends. I don't see the point. Next?
"But you 911 hysterics never go back and say this or that "theory" was wrong...do you?
Of course we do, all the time, and we disagree with each other."
The theory is not unified then, it becomes an amalgamation of assorted hearsay and innuendo.
Now you know, clash, I don't read every post & comment on 911 threads. If you have in fact debunked some of the more outrageous and unproven..kudos to you.
"Buildings don’t fall like that, period, for any reason other than controlled demolition."
You have a lot to learn about kinetic energy. The buildings were structurally damaged by the impacts...then the fire worked on already damaged beams & rivets "softening" them. The only "concussive blast cloud observed" is the floor above hitting the floor below...causing them to pancake downward once the floors became disengaged from the legs, which distribute the weight downward into the bedrock.
"As for the psyops charges, it is difficult to avoid suspicion when you..."
The thing with making a charge is, its incumbent on you to prove it. Anyone can make a charge, it requires no great skill. If I had a mind to, I would charge you and all truthers with diverting attention away from the incompetents inside government who allowed this to happen (via their policies and law). That would make you the psy-op wouldn't it?
But I have always refrained out of common courtesy and of course...I can't prove it...which makes all the difference in my world ;-)
Seeya round...and if you have tamped down the unfactual in your comments and I have not seen them...again kudos for that. You guys often times seem demented so it would help your cause, whatever that might be.
Not feigning stupidity, just felt stupid b/c I wasn't sure I was getting your point and didn't want to respond until I fully understood.
Have you ever read Fritz Springmeier? Interesting stuff, but I can't claim to believe all of it. He does a thing on bloodlines of the Illuminati and goes into the Kennedy family, claiming them as originally being a Jewish family line, Canady, from Ireland.
Yes, I know about Joe Sr's fascist leanings and involvement in (or being the head of) the Irish mob. I do not think a hero was elected to the WH. I think a mobster's son and illuminati heir was elected (or put in w/the help of the Shitcago mob, whatever). For a long time, I struggled to find the reason how or why JFK and Bobby rebelled against the system which spawned them. And I cannot say that I have the absolute answer.
But I can say that I have a few great contenders that make more sense to me than any others. I think, early on, he caught the CIA lying to him and could see this. I think it hurt his pride. He was President, after all. I think his father's stroke may have played a part b/c his father was a huge influence in the brothers' lives. He may have even been their primary handler (if you understand trauma-based mind control, SRA). Sometimes, when the handler is suddenly weakened or dies, the subject experiences feelings of liberation. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, he was doing LSD (the good, government-grade, clean shit) with one of his mistresses, Mary Pinchot Meyer, who just happened to be fairly good friends with Timothy Leary and the wife of Cord Meyer. She made remarks about him "changing too fast" and, of course, hinted that the gov folks killed him (after the ass.).
Then, of course, she turned up dead, murdered in a DC park, a year later.
So yes, I'm well aware of the origin and lore of Kennedy power. I'm well aware that JFK was no saint, too. But I have a lot of admiration for him laying his life on the line (Bobby, too) for macro elements of truth and justice. He paid the price. And it sent a clear message to future presidents, and all of them were very likely aware of who did this and why.
Reagan certainly changed after Bush's friend (and others) shot him.
Bush 41 is connected in many ways to JFK's assassins, btw. Here is a great, great video on that matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSakrYOpJ5s
Bush? Who is this Bush of whom you speak?
El Presidente muy grando fantastico Dick Cheney was in charge of all counter-terrorism exercises, activities and responses on 9/11. See this Department of State announcement; this CNN article; and this essay.
Yep, spot on, George. Dubya set RECORD for time on vacation, while Cheney and his cohorts ran the country into the ground.
georgio - grow some balls. if you think dick cheny orchestrated the 9/11 attacks then just say so.....stop all the pussy 'look at this link'.....do you think that dicko planned the whole thing.
.... <crickets> ....
If you spend 30 minutes reading David Ray Griffin, you know 9/11 was an inside job. What incentive do you have to stop an inside job if you are the Bush administration?
"the fraud of 9/11 “involves a much greater crime against the American people and people of the world than any other charges of fraud connected to the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.” Why? “It is … more important because … the events of 9/11 have been used by the administration to justify every single aspect of US foreign policy in the Middle East since September 11. It is … more important also because it affects the very core of our entire political system. … [I]t is a conspiracy, so far successful, not only against the people of the United States, but against the entire world.”

90% of Germans do not believe official 9/11 US Fairy Tale
"According to a survey conducted by TNS Emnid, one of the largest polling institutes in Germany, nearly 90 percent of Germans do not believe the U.S. government explanation of what happened on September 11, 2001.
The poll was conducted for the German magazine World of the Miracles.
In addition to 89.5% not buying the official 9/11 story, the poll found that 73.7% of surveyed Germans believe that the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy and nearly 80% believe the CIA conducts covert operations on German soil."

Over 1,000 engineers and architects question the "official" line on 9/11. A selection of them appear in the documentary below. And while the documentary does not speculate why/who carried out the attacks, they provide compelling evidence that airplanes crashing into the WTC towers did not fell them. They did not, because they could not. Watch it (there are some annoying pledge pleas, but you can FF through them).

Better yet, see this full length film w/no pledge pleas for public tv:

It's called AE 911 Truth Explosive Evidence. Just search for it on YT.
Look at the news coverage at the time of the event. The news interviewed the fire captain who stated alarms sounded and he heard independent explosions after the planes hit the buildings. He was dead sure of it - which explains footage of liquid steel running down the side of one of the towers.
Maybe sound travels slower than light?
i dont think we need to take what the germans believe in too seriously. they believed a half jew was their savior and that the new republic would last a thousand years....heil my ass...?!
You mean I'm wasting my time keeping Colonel Hogan prisoner?
FAAAK! <ringsgeneralburkhalter>
I know NOTHING - our role model Sergeant Schultz
i dont think we need to take what the germans believe in too seriously
Yes, they do not have the New York Times - the newspaper of record. Yeah, the same one where Judith Miller lied about all those WMDs in Iraq and led to the Iraq war. The one thing going for the Germans is the lack of corrupt, venal American media.
Yeah, but you can only imagine Adolf's orgiastic delight if the Gestapo had the toys the new Gestapo has now....
"Gott in himmel, mein fuhrer! Ve can follow each single juden to its hiding place of gold! Vatch me zoom in on ziss joo at the train platform..."
"Brilliant, Heydrich! You say zis.. komputor... can memorize each face?"
"Ja. Kinder's play."
"Build more camps!"
horse crap.
George never tells a lie remember!
Context and timeline is way way off.
Liberal Losers are desparate now. MORE QE and a bit more Historical Easing (HE) TOO?
THERE YOU GO AGAIN.
BUSH CHENEY WORST EVER
DISASTER
DOUBLED NATIONAL DEBT
WASTED 2 TRILLION ON IRAQ WAR
But.. but... thermite!!! missiles!!!
lol...and Jamie Gorelick's Wall.
Obama kills thousands of terrorists and innocents with drones and Clinton failed three documented times when USA had the opportunity to kill Bin Laden.
Where is the media shake-down on clinton administration?
Is there any difference between "liberal" and "conservative" presidents? The powers-that-be behind the throne remain the same.
Remember ...
there is a definite difference between liberal and conservative IN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA...! DIPSHIT. no one writes about obamas war on terror. he is the president now. he could pull all troops. he hasnt. this is now HIS WAR...!
Of course it's Obummer's war now. Of course the media tries to make out differences. Of course Obama is at least as bad as Bush.
You're arguing against yourself...
Nice quote of Washington's (the other one)... Amazing how things do not change, unless we make them change.
It appears to me that the PTB are winning a war of overload. Apathy towards this subject is deafening.
Bin Laden did the least pretending of any boys in this play
DJ, you know where I stand on this one.... Cheney and the Neo-cons were looking for a Causus Belli to move on Iraq (The Prize, so to speak)....
Those guys underestimated what AQ had planned (or knowing the way they roll, they did not care what AQ was planning....)
And somehow, I cannot help but feel there was some damning evidence that required WTC7 to collapse as well...(Or something in WTC had to disappear and oppurtunity presented itself....
too much physics, too many explosions, too many flight exercises, too little flight skills, too little pentagon strike videos - easy stuff to settle a debate.
they did a lot more than underestimating, they literally stopped investigations and then said ridiculous things like no one anticipated using airplanes to strike buildings. But they did more than that. They warned California politicians not to fly, they lied about money transfers to Atta then said they didn't think the source was that important. And on and on and on.....
you of all people know the power of peak oil. Psychologically, Cheney (and all the other politicians and military who knew or worse should know better) probably justify it because they understands peak as well. Remember the super secret energy meetings SCOUTS ultimately protected? They probably think this murerous action has actually saved american lives. False flags are nothing new nor are dying empires desperate for vital resources turning on their own and those around them. "The American way of life is non negotiable" Pride goeth before the fall.
Which bin laden? The One who died in dec of 01?
Or the one that lived 10 years trudging a dialysis machine thru the mountains and living next to a paki military base?
And was it the one who said he didn't do it?
Or the one who said he did?
I can't keep them all straight!
Triplets !
Lies have consequences and it is clear that the USA's present political, economic and military state is the result of many many lies.
The USA still manages to be on top of the world's unstable pyramid but for how long will her luck protect her from the stupidity of her leaders?
With hindsight, one can solve all sorts of problems.
How does one spin the news that you knew before hand? (Oh I thought it was a joke)!
RichardP
With foresight.... one can plan...... to ignore...... voluminous intelligence from domestic and foreign agencies pinpointing individuals, methods and probable timeframe of a heinous crime.......to create the favorable climate for rushing through legislation of thousands of pages already "on the shelf" and waiting only for a propitious moment to arrive to impose a totalitarian police state in America.
So which is it George?
Did the US government:
1) Directly perpetrate 9/11
2) Fail to stop Al Queda from perpetrating 9/11
3) Provoke the Saudis into perpetrating 9/11
4) All of the above
5) None of the above
You've presented so many conspiracy theories; I have trouble keeping them all straight...
The phrase "conspiracy theory" is what idiots use to avoid admitting the truth.
1--in conjunction w/Mossad and likely (though not provable, to me yet) MI6.
Its his specialty and he attracts "quite a crowd" with them.
The gulf oil spill comment threads were a hoot...absolutely the best...lol.
So true and a shame too I used to follow George's blog he could write about economic reality like Social Security beinng a wedge issue but he attract's fly's like crap from the leftist sites with this garbage. But hey at least this article isn't completely filed with "and see this and this and this and this and this" ad nauseam links that go to his other posts.
Well, theres all sorts of flies...but he gets a lot of them with just a left wing...lol.
I thought I was making some progress with him when he agreed (to his credit) that a mandate and a government fine for health insurance was wrong. Then that whole discussion got real quiet. I understand he knows who his audience is and we all go to where we are comfortable.
But OWS was over the top...thats when I was done...now I just stop by to collect some reddies for needling their perfect little academic bubble world ;-)
Those flies are leftist honey flies that's why they gravitate to this crap. OWS OMG lol I remember that another fraud if they were real they would have occupied the bankster puppet white house but it was obama's friends that got OWS started his union buddies helped out in Tunisia as well.
Ahh, that's it, you've got it! Any time we don't want to deal with something, its "the leftist loonyes" again! Thanks.
Good to see you're catching on!
If they were the real deal they would have gone to the power source...that place is DC...not NYC.
Nothing happens (good or bad) in this country without the force of law behind it...one part of this country knows this intuitively...the other part is either lying to themselves (even after ObamaCare) or are completely ignorant of it.
Probably because they were taught so.
You pack enough like minded people into DC and you'll get fucking "Change"...but thats not what they really want.
Pity then that Bush had foresight.
Awww, that's just a cut below the belt!
Pity that Bush's bosses had no foreskin.
It's quite obvious that this is a ruse by the jew supremacist NYT to bolster the lie that bin laden was responsible for 911.
And therefore equally obvious that George's role here is klassic 'limited hangout' operative: taking just enuff truth to mix with the lies n disinfo to bake a kosher kake that won't go flat while still in the oven...
however, when yu stick a pin in it...
That explanation only works if you can point out the lies, Joyful. Which parts of this GW piece, in your opinion, contain the lies? I must have missed them.
Thanks in advance for your time w/any explanations. :)
