If you're referring to the exaggerations and excuses to justify the invasion of Iraq I can certainly agree with you there, but that's outside the scope of your "9/11 propaganda" assertion- that was over the WMD he was supposed to have had.
You know better than that. Bush tried to link Iraq to aL Qaida, and don't you remember the Anthrax story? Iraq invasion had a lot to do with 9/11.
And haven't you just demonstrated there the stupidity of thinking 9/11 was intended to provide a cause to invade Iraq. Yes, there were pathetic attempts to link Iraq with 9/11 but it didn't convince anyone.
So we have the absurd situation where the admin is supposed to have executed an incredibly complex plan with such skill that most people don't give suggestions of an "inside job" the time of day. But when it came to setting up the patsies it all went pear-shaped. Not a single Iraqi involved nor any Iraqi links.
You seriously saying that it didn't convince anyone? What planet were you on when this was going down?
Without 9/11 they would have a lot more trouble to convince people that if we don't invade Iraq we all going to die.

Nonsense, the Iraq invasion had to wait until 2003 and it was then based on failure to adhere to UN resolutions and alleged WMD production. Nothing to do with 9/11.
If 9/11 was an inside job why were there no links to Iraq ? How about a couple of Iraqi hi-jackers ? Why not ?
Bush never pinned blame for the attacks directly on the Iraqi president. Still, the overall effect was to reinforce an impression that persists among much of the American public: that the Iraqi dictator did play a direct role in the attacks. A New York Times/CBS poll this week shows that 45 percent of Americans believe Mr. Hussein was "personally involved" in Sept. 11, about the same figure as a month ago.
Before 11 September 2001, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained. But chemical agents and lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons, and other plans - this time armed by Saddam Hussein. It would take just one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known.

Nope. He made mention of member of Al Qaida being in Iraq (which isn't saying much, since technically there were members of Al Qaida everywhere in the mideast) but the Iraq resolution as passed by congress made no mention of Iraq being responsible for the 9/11 attack. It was over WMD, the violations of the 1991 cease fire, the brutality of his regime against his own people (I.E. using nerve gas against the Kurds), and a whole shopping lists of other reasons:
Wikipedia article on the Iraq Resolution
Stop changing the subject already- you said this was to discuss "9/11 propaganda" so go aheed and discuss 9/11 propaganda already.
Despite the dearth of evidence of a solid link since the war, the picture of the relationship remains muddy in the US. Mr Cheney, in particular, has refused to retract his war claims and has continued to hint at hidden connections between Saddam and Bin Laden. Robin Hayes, a Republican congressman from North Carolina, appeared on television yesterday claiming to have seen secret evidence of Iraqi involvement in the September 11 attacks which he could not share. Such cryptic claims were widely rejected as groundless yesterday, but Mr Bush's more subtle rendering of the alleged Iraq-Bin Laden axis will serve to blur the hard lines between fact and propaganda.

Propaganda exists almost anywhere there is media and politics that becomes fused but the link that the OP has provided is not evidence that there is any conspiracy behind 9/11 pointing to the shadowing hand of the government pulling the puppet strings on the 9/11 hijackers.
OP yes some in the media are definitely guilty of hyping up the terrorist threat, they do so manly through ideology, political allegiances and to get some readers. However at the same time they often play down the threat or dumb down the news so that the lay man can make sense of it.
This is not evidence of any grand conspiracy.
To look at your link however, it’s a blog site that seems to be posting about a group calling themselves neuro linguistic programing (NLP), that made me laugh because I know what NLP actually is, it’s a form psychotherapy and a communication method. It has very little to do with terrorism and 9/11 although some who don’t understand the art of NLP will try to say that the government propaganda machine are using NLP however that is just to demonstrate you don’t understand the what NLP is because it doesn’t work like that. The use of the name NLP makes me think they dude who build this blog chose it because it sounded intelligent when really with him making no other reference to NLP it’s just stupid, nothing mysterious about the name NLP, no its just silly.

That's not propaganda about 9/11. That's propaganda against Iraq. I'm not denying a lot of bad information was being circulated about Iraq (especially the nonexistant WMD) but it isn't relevent to the 9/11 attack itself, which I need to remind you is the subject of the 9/11 propaganda archive you're referencing.
Besides, the "propaganda used to invade Iraq" you're referring to wasn't even that far off the mark. Didn't they arrest one of the terrorists involved in the Achille Lauro hijacking in Iraq?

The attack on 9/11 is directly used as propaganda. It's relevant !
There was no connection between Iraq and 9/11, but the Bush Administration were saying that if we don't invade Iraq bin Laden is going to kill all of us. Like 9/11 only with WMD's

Yeah, so the perps could disguise destruction of the WTC buildings, fake a crash site at Shanksville and at the Pentagon. Fake radar tracks, phone calls, wreckage, body parts, flight data recorders, air traffic control tapes etc but couldn't actually get a handle on linking Iraq to any of it. Are you serious ?

Well, Did you not know that even though they couldn't link Iraq to 9/11, but tried very hard we went to war anyway?
As for the other things you think ALL truthers believe in ( not true by the way), there are a lot of indications that Bush Administration knew about the planned attack in the US, but nobody was held accountable for their "screw ups".
I'd say they were successful in both examples.

God, if you actually think that the clip you posted is evidence of centralised control of the media then you are beyond help.
I'll just ask one question to explore the mountainous regions of stupid that make up such an assertion. Do you think that Conan O'Brien is part of the media?

His point is that they were successful in covering up the missile, the demos, the shoot down, but apparently couldn't even plant a few WMDs.
Most people would find this logically inconsistent.edit on 30-5-2012 by TrickoftheShade because: (no reason given)

Again you and your made up assumption. I never said that they were covering up those things you are imagining.
They failed in their duty to defend American people and American cities and instead of being held accountable some of them got promotions, and NONE of they got ion trouble. That's a successful coverup. But you already knew what I was talking about didn't you? Just can't debate without all of your l sleazy little lies.
