Your right, it is obvious that he is talking about his domestic spying program and the secret CIA prisons.
He now wants to pass a bill making this legal. It's pretty obvious that he is not talking about 9-11.
Please read the next couple of paragraphs. Read the ones before the explosives quote.

We've also learned information from the CIA program that has helped stop other plots, including attacks on the U.S. Marine base in East Africa, our American consulate in Pakistan, or Britain's Heathrow Airport.
This program has been one of the most vital tools in our efforts to protect this country. It's been invaluable to our country, and it's invaluable to our allies.
Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that al-Qaida and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland.
By giving us information about terrorist plans we couldn't get anywhere else, this program has saved innocent lives. In other words, it's vital.
That's why I asked Congress to pass legislation so that our professionals can go forward doing the duty we expect them to do.
See how obvious it is that this part of the speach has nothing to do with 9-11.

Two 400,000 pound aircraft with full loads of fuel crashed into the World Trade Center towers and people cannot believe that that was sufficient to cause massive structural failure.

If you have any evidence that is even remotely as credible as that provided by NIST, then by all means post it.

Can any agency or other group claim to have as many investigators with the kind of credential employed by NIST to come up with their findings?
I think not.

let's assume he was talking about 9/11 and the wtc specifically.
why would they plant explosives high enough to trap people? they should be lower to the ground so that every floor between the plane crash and the explosion would be trapped.
even without planes, you would want to go with an explosion lower to the ground floor so as to trap eveyone above.
none of the comment makes sense. Bush has an articulation problem along with his speaking as if he took english as a second language.
perhaps this is akin to nucular in that he just speaks like a moron.

I knew if I read far enough into the thread, someone would've realized what I had thought right off the bat. Of course you'd want an explosion lower to the ground floor (so as to trap eveyone above), not higher. On 9/11, that factored into more people being able to escape one of the towers; after it was hit on a higher floor level than the other.

The pre-positioned charges were not detonated until after the planes hit. They were detonated when the buildings actually fell.
