Question:
Am I wrong for thinking that Former President Bush provoked 9/11?
2013-06-20 08:39:23 UTC
Lately I been thinking about our world and wars etc. I honestly think that Former President Bush provoked 9/11to get as bad as it got. I know a lot of things were going with Iraq before he became president but something is telling me that he knew about the 9/11 attacks before they actually happened and I feel like something could have been done to prevent it from happening or to at least not have it as bad as we did.

Even now in 2013 with Osama Bin Laden being dead every since the Boston Marathon Attacks I feel like that Saudi and the Al quadia gang ( sorry I know I spelled that wrong) are planning another big attack like 9/11 I know those two Russian men made the attacks happen but do you really honestly believe that they thought of that them self's? I don't I believe there were some type of International communication going on. If you think about it happen around the same time ( well same month) that Osama Bin Laden was shot dead and to me that was a warning sign. I honestly have a deep gut feeling that were going to go through 9/11 all over again . They did the attacks the same way 9/11 happened they let off the first bomb boom there it goes people think its some kind of accident but a few seconds to a minute later BOOM there goes another attack here it is world is at war again.


I'm sure some of you think I'm crazy for thinking this I'm sure I'm gone get some rude comments and Sarcastic ones as well but really think those two Russian dudes could not have thought about such an prestigious act alone they had to have had some outside professional help I don't care what they say.


What do you think about this? please be real.

There were warnings, but the problem is there was no way to know exactly when and where it was going to happen. They couldn't close all of the airports in the country because of a treat. I don't believe Bush had specific knowledge of where and when the attack would happen.



There were many terrorist attacks against the US in the 90s. Terrorist tried to destroy the World trade center back in 1993. They set off a bomb in the basement of one of the towers. They hoped that the tower would fall onto the other tower, knocking both down. Luckily it didn't work. If it had worked, the loss of life would have been much worse than 911. I wonder if Bill Clinton had knowledge that the first world trade center bombing would happen? The CIA gave Clinton 3 good chances to kill Bin Ladin in the 90s. But Clinton never acted.

Neither former president Bush provoked 9/11.



Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. ZERO. ZILCH.



That was one of the lies GW Bush used to cow congress into giving him the war he wanted.



GW wanted to go to war with Iraq even before 9/11 occurred and basically everyone (even the Republicans) just laughed and told him to be quiet when the adults were talking.



Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with 9/11.



As for the Boston bombers, do you really think putting bombs at a public event is something Osama Bin Laden or Al Qaida invented? Have you not heard of the IRA?



No I don't think you're crazy. Just under educated. Learn more about history.

Bill Clinton had the intelligence to take Osama Bin Laden out and decided against it. Clinton was of course president during the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the attack on the USS Cole. Both these attacks were at the hand of one Osama Bin Ladin. Bill Clinton ignored repeated opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist allies. Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn't respond.



Guess he was to busy with Monica to care.

-Yeah, I think So. Because I don't think Bin Laden really CARED who was President- at the Time. He was GOING to Do the Terrible Thing he DID. -And it just "Happened" to occur on Bush's "watch." It's how Bush RESPONDED to the Attack- that Decided what Happened- NEXT. And maybe it was THAT "reaction"- that made the whole 9/11 "Outcome"- SO much Worse... :(

According to Time magazine and CNN News, the bush administration received two memos in january of 2001 from foreign intelligence agencies warning of the impending attacks. Those memos can from France and Israel and they contained the names of the attackers, how the attack would happen and that the target would be either LA or NYC. The only thing the memos weren't clear on was the exact date of the attacks. One said during the summer, the other said early fall.



They knew the attack was coming and they did nothing to stop it. GW Bush should be arrested and charged with betraying his country and crimes against humanity for his bogus war in Iraq.

The plan for 9/11 was in motion years before George W. Bush ever took office so yeah, you are wrong to think he provoked it. There is no evidence whatsoever that former Pres. Bush had anything remotely like specific prior knowledge of the attacks. While he was president there was a lot of anti-Bush sentiment which caused people to be favorable to such ideas in spite of the lack of evidence because worked well with their cognitive dissonance. But strictly on the facts it just isn't there.

no longer, different than that he knew it grow to be going to ensue: think of roughly it: he's at a region that grow to be publicised nicely in boost, there is time-honored to be a terrorist attack occurring, yet he keeps to study a e book. If this rather grow to be a ask your self attack, then does not the President be a probable aim? does not his minders have rushed him faraway from his status as a sitting duck? it is not complicated, like many of the little concept experiments that scream 9/11 grow to be an interior activity.

If you do a lot of research, you can locate ALL the information you require to build your very own nuclear bomb. All the instructions can be found on the internet. And, when you DO build your nuclear bomb, the government will have had nothing to do with YOUR activity, either.

Yes you are dead wrong. Muslim extremists did those attacks! Quit trying to take the blame off them. Quit putting it on Bush!
