I didn't realize you were a Repub , this is not about Party lines to me.
Bush was in charge at the time, so his admin is taking the bad rap.
Probably was in the works before he sat in the WH.

Still stuck on the words of the FBI PR flack? I think I will stick with the words of the FBI director who said there was no doubt of Osama being involved before the Congress. I think his information might be a little more exact than the PR department.

And trying to hang blame on just one administration doesnt help in regards to fixing what is wrong. It smacks of the same politics as usual that has screwed our country up badly.

If what you're saying is true, then Osama bin Laden would be wanted by the FBI for 9/11, dontcha think? But as you can see from his FBI poster, he's not.

The indictment against UBL is sealed, which is why 9/11 isn't on the poster. However, the State Department does list his as responsible for 9/11 and a cursory search of the FBI website shows that the FBI has repeatedly stated he's responsible.
On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”
Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, “How this was possible?” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11.” I asked, “How does that work?” Tomb continued, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11.”

Explain why the State Department publicly states on his wanted page he was responsible, and offer a reward for his capture.

Sorry but both the FBI and Department of Justice has officially stated many times that there is not enough evidence to charge OBL with being behind 9/11.

I'm not making # up:
explain why numerous FBI officials have claimed UBL was behind 9/11. It's on their site.

If the US Govt had no evidence would they be doing these things?

You make lots of claims, but fail to back them up. Here's the FBI page on OBL. Where is there any mention of 9/11 by anyone? And no, it's not because it's a "sealed indictment." That's ridiculous and yes, you are making it up.
Ever hear of Project Censored? They've been around for 35 years and are regularly featured on ATS.

Doing what things? Starting endless trillion-dollar wars that have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians? Perhaps you forgot about the totally false (as admitted in the NSA archives) Gulf of Tonkin incident? Operation Northwoods? USS Liberty? Waco? Oklahoma City? How about those infamous Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction?"
C'mon, don't be naive. The "New Pearl Harbor" PNAC neocons had this planned for a long time.

More actual info ^^^^^^^^^^
The curious omission underscores the Justice Department's decision, so far, to not seek formal criminal charges against bin Laden for approving al-Qaeda's most notorious and successful terrorist attack.
"There's no mystery here," said FBI spokesman Rex Tomb. "They could add 9/11 on there, but they haven't because they don't need to at this point. . . . There is a logic to it."
David N. Kelley, the former U.S. attorney in New York who oversaw terrorism cases when bin Laden was indicted for the embassy bombings there in 1998, said he is not at all surprised by the lack of a reference to Sept. 11 on the official wanted poster. Kelley said the issue is a matter of legal restrictions and the need to be fair to any defendant.
