Historian Webster Tarpley Analyzes Bush's Behavior on 9/11

Bush had no clue about 9/11. He was a useful idiot.

a reply to: Shamrock6

You don't think the kids, school employees, parents, and everybody else there would've had a "wtf?" moment if he had popped up and darted out of the school right after Ari whispered in his ear?

WTF moment already happening in New York.

And he sits…

If Bush had left immediately, the same people chastising him for sitting there would still be chastising him for leaving - except this time, they'd be saying that "Bush knew he was a possible target so he left without saying anything to anyone - because he's happy for a school full of children to be hit by a terrorist attack just as long as he keeps himself safe. If he was a real President, he would have sat there calmly and finished the book to prove that America will stand up for what it considers important even in the face of adversity and terror."

Oh, ATS.

Was he in New York? I thought the school was in Florida?

Thats why he was there, "safely" out of the way.

"If" has no merit, what happened is he stayed lost for the whole day.

Took you long enough to dummy up.

Point being nobody cared what kids thought, the excuse that kids "would be traumatized" was cover for the cameras recorded and made public the whole time he sat there. Whoops…

How many times has for the children been the sirens call of the war on terror?

To conclude, Bush looks shocked, frightened and full of dread, just like other American on that day.

In other words he had a deer in the headlights look about him. As POTUS he should have taken the reigns as a true leader, not just looked like any other American on that day. Cheney was pulling the puppet strings behind the scenes during Dubya's reign, and the fact that Deadeye Dick wasn't there in FLA to tell Georgie what to do is apparent from his blank look demeanor.

a reply to: intrptr

You truly are incapable of debating literally anything without turning it into something personal, aren't you?

You're talking about a wtf moment in New York. I don't see how Bush sitting in a chair in Florida could have changed that given that the attack had already begun.

And with that, I'm done responding to you.

Ta-ta

Wow. Some of you (who I wish I could just blacklist instead of having to scroll over every one of your ridiculous comments) are REALLY concerned about keeping a class of kids calm during the biggest attack on American soil! I mean, seriously? If I was the president of a country of 300+ million people the last thing on my mind would be "Let's not get the children upset".

LOL you've got to be kidding me.

I would've had the damn book turned the right way, too, not upside down. And even if the first plane was thought to be an accident, that would have been enough to garner my attention, and leave immediately for a conference call to all my advisors, followed by a possible rendezvous with Airforce 1.

Keep the kids calm. LMFAO

…All day long, even when Air Force One became 'lost' and later claimed garbled communications.

As if anyone believes for one moment there isn't a secure link from anywhere the president is to the White House situation room.

Cheney also sat in on Bushes sealed testimony in the White House, before the commission, behind closed doors.

Talk about running things…

Yah, hard to defend that position. Read the post below yours.

a reply to: Shamrock6
Clearly they would. But as parents and responsible adults they won't let there concerns filter down to the children. And I think they all had there WTF moment the instant words were whispered into his ear. These reponses suggest he could never leave at any point, no matter the circumstance because children would have a wtf moment.
Really?

a reply to: JohnTheSmith
Keep the kids calm even though we don't know the extent of the attack on the US. you all get tied up in 9-11. You country was under attack. look at every other security service and the orders they have. The president did not turn and say we will go soon don't want upset the kids, Poor leaders might do that in third world countries. If the security services did not evacuate your president the second there was a threat then they disobeyed all protocols. Its why they are foxing with him in the first place. Get him safe, or was he already safe. think of the implications of them knowing he was safe. planes were still in the air WTF.
I love this line thank you for writing it KEEP THE KIDS CALM LMFAO.

denial truly is a powerful force.

a reply to: rossacus

Yes because we all know no parents are irresponsible and/or ever flip out over the small stuff, let alone seeing a President bundled off and stuffed into a limo. I'm sure every single person there would've handled seeing that absolutely perfectly.

But, to pull on that thread: let's say Bush popped up and took off. What changes? Two planes had already hit by that point. So...what changes? Or is this simply "he didn't react in what I deem to be an appropriate manner, therefore it's wrong and suspicious?"

The only look in his face is:

So it begins.

HE KNEW. and everybody knows that.

Bush always seemed to have that Deer in the headlights look about him so it is difficult to ascertain what he knew about the unfolding events from the video.

However, the immediate response speaks volumes, pointing the fingers at the axis of evil, including Iran and Iraq, even though they were the best of enemies.

imo, Tarpley, who I like very much, almost has it.

I have two possible scenarios about this strange action

Scenario one: I give credence to the theory by an Indian mystic astrologer who claimed that Bush sitting there listening to the Goat story has to do with the occult sacrifice ritual that is one of the motives behind the slaughter on 911.

As he pointed out the elite have a ritual they do with a Goat and that morning Bush was playing that out.


Scenario two: Is an extreme modification of the traditional conspiracy theory


This has two factions having a secret war on 911 and that’s why Bush was riding around the Mason Dixon line on air force bases.


The take down of building 7 was NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN, NOR WAS FLIGHT 93


The reason why one, Bush didn’t have an escort when he finally left the school was because he knew this was all a scam. And 2, why they didn’t order planes shot down until 10 am is for the same reason, they wanted the attacks to happen, BUT then within the conspiracy something strange happened. Something THAT WASN’T IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

And that is FLIGHT 93. building 7 also, later.


Bush only ordered planes to be shot down AFTER FLIGHT 93 was known to still be in the air

( Ask yourself this question: if flight 93 was part of the original conspiracy WHY WASN’T IT ALLOWED TO ATTACK ITS TARGET?)

Because it was NOT part of the conspiracy.


It was targeted to go to Washington probably to get at air force 1 and that’s what tells me it was part of a conspiracy within the conspiracy


911 WAS A CIVIL WAR IN PLAY!

Read this:

Flight 93 was still in the air after the Bush authorization, and fighters were given orders to shoot it down if necessary. [ABC News, 9/11/02] NORAD knew at 9:16 a.m. that Flight 93 was hijacked [NORAD, 9/18/01], but supposedly fighters weren’t scrambled until minutes before it crashed at 10:06 a.m.

Shoot Down Authorized—Too Latewww.globalresearch.ca...
Once he was airborne, Bush talked to Cheney again and Cheney recommended that Bush “order our aircraft to shoot down these airliners that have been hijacked.” [CBS, 9/11/02] “I said, ‘You bet,’ ” Bush later recalled. “We had a little discussion, but not much.” [Newsday, 9/23/01, USA Today, 9/16/01, Washington Post, 1/27/02] However, even though only Bush had the authority to order a passenger plane shot down [CNN, 10/26/99], the order was apparently given before Bush discussed it with Cheney. One flight commander recalled, “After the Pentagon was hit, we were told there were more [airliners] coming. Not ‘might be’ ; they were coming.” A call from someone in the White House declared the Washington area “a free-fire zone,” meaning, according to one of the responding fighter pilots, “we were given authority to use force, if the situation required it.” [Aviation Week and Space Technology, 9/9/02]
Extraordinary times can demand extraordinary measures, so having someone other than Bush give this order could be understandable. But Bush was available and talking to people like Cheney after 9:30 a.m. Around this time, officials feared that as many as 11 airliners had been hijacked [CBS, 9/11/02], so why weren’t Bush and Cheney even considering this course of action until about 10:00 a.m.? Was Bush being kept out of the loop in reality, or only in the media reports?
Is the lateness of this discussion merely political spin to reduce speculation that Flight 93 had been shot down?

The reason why Bush was flying all over the southern US was because there was a threat to him from the other forces on 911 who were against the take down of the two buildings and flight 93 going after Bush.

Cheney kept telling Bush, while he was aboard Air force 1 that there were threats to him.

While Bush was circling the Mason-Dixon Line they were likely negotiating

Then when Bush left Offutt Air Force Base base in Nebraska at 430 pm while on that flight to Washington building 7 went down

Bush flying around those basis was when the two sides negotiated and Bush was in flight when building 7 went down.

When they came to agreement and Bush was no longer in trouble he came back to the white house after 7 pm.

911 has two anomalies and they are: flight 93 and building 7

Likely they were don’t to put a wrench in the conspiracy

a reply to: Shamrock6

Are you implying that Mr. Bush KNEW that any response on his behalf would not help the situation?

What do you think the appropriate reaction to an 'accident' of this magnitude would be?

Just sit there with an upside down book in a school full of elementary students?

originally posted by: tsurfer2000h And yet he was out of danger where he was...as Washington was a target and the White House was too.

he couldn't possibly have known that at that moment (unless he, you know, 'knew'). nobody could have. there might have been other attacks imminent, perhaps on the president, a consideration i assume his security would be conscious of. further attacks could have been coming from anywhere, at anytime. he should have been out of there instantly.

a reply to: Shamrock6
No...He has an ENTIRE nation in panic. His main priority is to a dress the public to relieve the tension/fear. Are you saying his presence is the only way to stop irresponsible parents from telling the kids. Should he spend the night with all of em to make sure they don't find out on his watch?.

You believe the sanity of children unaware of what has taken place takes presidence over the sanity of the entire "aware" nation. This is where we differ.

I'm actually dissapointed that many take the same stance as you. He is the leader of one of the biggest super powers there is, I'm sure that should take priority over children that would not panic if he left.
