Was President Bush Complicit In 9/11?
by Sherwood Ross
Was President George W. Bush complicit in the 9/11 attacks? That’s a question that will not go away on this 10th anniversary of those terrible events.
If many people continue to wonder about it, perhaps it’s because the Bush regime did not call for a prompt investigation into 9/11 and subsequently obstructed its work. There is a fresh report that some information turned up by the FBI in Florida was held back on direct orders from Mr. Bush.
To begin with, as Philip Shenon reported in The New York Times of July 9, 2003, “The federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks said today that its work was being hampered by the failure of the executive branch agencies, especially the Pentagon and the Justice Department, to respond quickly to requests for documents and testimony.”
He wrote the panel’s chair and vice-chair released a statement “declaring that they had received only a small part of the millions of sensitive government documents they had requested from the executive branch.”
What’s more, Shenon pointed out, the Administration would not allow its officials to be interviewed “without the presence of government colleagues” so that the panel’s chairman suggested the situation amounted to “intimidation” of the witnesses. Why?
There’s ample evidence President Bush didn’t want a panel convened in the first place. As David Firestone reported in the Times of Nov. 15, 2002, the White House only yielded “to intense pressure from families of Sept. 11 victims” to create the panel. Firestone wrote that Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican, “had fought zealously for the commission for months, leveling bitter criticism at the White House for stalling it…”
Of course, Bush’s opposition to the panel is zero proof that he was involved in the 9/11 attacks in any way. He may have only wished to cover up the incompetence of his government’s response to them. Writing in The Times on Feb. 4, 2008, Evan Thomas pointed out, “The official ineptitude uncovered by the commission is shocking.”
Questions about Bush’s appointments to the 9/11 panel are more than troubling. Bush initially named former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger chairman of the 9/11 probe—a man whose consulting firm it turned out had done work for the bin Laden family! What a coincidence, right?
When Kissinger hurriedly resigned, Bush named former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean in his place. Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research pointed out that Kean “sits on the board of directors of a company which has business dealings with financier Khalid bin Mahfouz.” Kean, it turns out, was a director of Amerada Hess Corp., involved in a joint venture with Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia, an outfit owned in part by Mahfouz—a man whose sister is married to Osama bin Laden! Another coincidence, of course.
Chossudovsky writes, “Carefully documented by (Washington reporter) Wayne Madsen, George W. Bush also had dealings with Osama’s brother-in-law (bin Mahfouz,) when he was in the Texas oil business” and both Bush and bin-Mahfouz were implicated in the Bank of Commerce International scandal.”
Americans are right to be skeptical of Bush’s motives when the two chairmen he names to the 9/11 panel are linked to the bin Laden family. They are also right to be skeptical of the 9/11 Commission Report. As David Ray Griffin noted in his “Debunking 9/11 Debunking”(Olive Branch Press), a Zogby poll taken in May, 2006, indicated that 42% of the American people believed that “the U.S. government and its 9/11 Commission concealed…critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11th attacks.” And a Scripps/Ohio University poll in August, 2006, showed 36% of the public believes “federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them “because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East.”
A new report in the Miami Herald of September 8, states that “The final 28-page of the (official) Inquiry’s report, which deals with “sources of foreign support for some of the Sept. 11 hijackers,” was entirely blanked out. It was kept secret from the public on the orders of former President George W. Bush and is still withheld to this day, (former U.S. Senator Bob) Graham (D-Fla.)said. This new information was provided by Anthony Summers, co-author of “The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 & Osama bin Laden” and Don Christensen, editor of the online “Broward Bulldog.”
Kept from the public until now is information that a Saudi family who abruptly vacated their Sarasota, Fla., home two weeks before 9/11, “were visited by vehicles used by the hijackers” and who were in telephone communication with those “who carried out the death flights—including leader Mohamed Atta.” The information was unearthed by the FBI. Graham stated further that FBI information unearthed in California linking Saudis to 9/11 was never turned over to the 9/11 Commission , either, until Congressional investigators found it on their own.
If President Bush was honored for his probity and integrity, one might argue there is no reason today to inquire into suspicions that he was complicit in the 9/11 attacks or concealed vital information about them. Yet, as subsequent events revealed, the man lied the nation into destructive wars that killed more than a million people, and who confided in a friendly journalist before entering the White House that he planned as president to make war on Iraq’s Saddam Hussein—and who later used 9/11 as the excuse to do it.
Was George W. Bush complicit in the 9/11 attacks? That’s a question that deserves further investigation.

I think the slimy little SOB did it.
Gordon, if he did, he wasn’t alone. He was only a figurehead on the baseball team and really only a figurehead in the White House. Somebody else with more smarts had to devise that kind of plan. All best, Sherwood
As you can see from billions people believing in it – it works. And if it works its not that stupid.
Is SIlverstein in jail? Is Israel a pile of ash? Is “America” being coerced to do the Jews’ dirty work?
How is it “stupid” if it advances the Jewish agenda?
The prime movers of 911 were oil men. That is because they had the Taliban visit Texas in 1997 and it was reported by the BBC. Then the Taliban refused the pipeline to Halliburton investments in the Caspian Sea. This gave Cheney motive for 911. Then PNAC reported in 2000 that a new Pearl Harbor would facilitate the entrance into the Middle East. Cheney was a member of PNAC.
Cheney had both knowledge and motive for 911 and that, my friends, is a slam dunk.
At the very least he knew of it. But his loyalty was never ours. He and his father, and so many others of our traitorous “leaders” define themselves by the morbidly named Skanks and Bums/Skull and Bones, a clubhouse for degenerates who only survive through lies, theft, depravity, and the abuse of money, power, populations, and entire nations. They are nothing but overrated drug dealers. They cannot even think unless it involves a scheme.
Was Bush complicit in 9/11?
Does an ursine mammal void fecal matter in the arboreal terrain?
Look no further than PNAC.

lol these are difficult questions. for the majority, that is
Why was most of the metal debris from the Twin Towers sold to the lowest bidder who happened to be outside the USA ? Samples of Building 7′s metal indicate superheated effects from specific explosives.
That’s the one that fell in on itself without any real structural damage done to it by the surrounding buildings.
Dispite repeated warnings in the President Daily Brief, about 40 times when the bombings happened, Bush showed little interest in the likelihood that bin Laden might well attack America, especially in NYC and Washington – like he had with Ramzi Yousef at the WTC – quite likely with hijacked airliners.
Seems that Bush had other plans, making complicity almost certain.
I suspect he may have been on too many antipsychotic drugs to have ordered many Americans to be murdered.
It was obivious that Bush did as he was told,but the that does not absolve him of the crimes that were committed with his knowing complicity.
All you have to do is review the video of Bush when his chief of staff whispered in his ear in the schoolroom. I believe that the standing orders of the Secret Service are to whisk the president to a ‘safe place’ if there is any threat to him or the country – this patently did not happen. And it’s also extremely suspicious that Bush was well away from DC on that day. All you have to do is look at Bush’s eyes and body language when he was told. Later he allegedly stated that he saw the ‘first plane hit one of the twin towers’ as it happened – that’s amazing because he couldn’t have. The man and his evil cohorts should be brought to justice – but sadly the American people don’t appear to have the appetite to demand the justice they, the victims, their friends and families deserve.
The 9/11 ‘Omission Commission’ report is one huge LIE.
Witnesses that wanted to testify weren’t allowed to and those that did, complained that they didn’t say all they could, since their FBI handler was sitting close by, intimidating them.
Condi Rice’s good friend, Philip Zelikow was named top dog to ensure that no real truth got to the public.
Only three months into the investigation, Zelikow already had the final outline in hand, which he showed to Hamilton and Kean, who both signed off on the lies, but marked it ‘Top Secret’ so other members wouldn’t see it.
They didn’t want to take the chance that it might get out to the public and have them think the fix was in…. Like Duh.
That info is available at the excellent “History Commons” site, but it’s offline this morning, so here’s the same news from another site:
The Facts Speak For Themselves | 911 Truth News
In early 2003, Philip Zelikow and Ernest May wrote a complete outline of the final 9/11 Report. Zelikow, Kean, and Hamilton decided to keep this outline a secret from the commission staffers.
http://911truthnews.com/the-facts-speak-for-themselves/
Add in the fact that the Commission was ordered not to look into what really happened on that day, only to give advice on how to prevent another one and my money’s on GW being in on the FALSE FLAG/INSIDE JOB of 9/11, but only to a limited extent for security purposes, since his cocaine and booze riddled brain had a tendency to blurt out uncomfortable truths if he got away from his handlers of teleprompters.
Bush is a brain dead village idiot. Period. He is an intellectual maggot.
He doubtless knew the official story was garbage and went along for “religious” reasons, but that’s about it, and what he knew was probably very limited. Planning and execution of this was WAY beyond his intellectual capacities, people like Chertoff, Cheney and Kissinger were in charge.
When you’re putting a puzzle together, you might happen to have several small pieces that, at first glance, appear that they could all fit into the same spot. In that case, a quick glance at “the big picture” where you’d examine not just the physical shape of the pieces in question but the color and how they fit into the whole scheme of things, will usually settle the issue quickly and decisively.
Likewise with 9/11 and the ongoing tragedy of contemporary “America”.
And when you look at the big “picture” here, not only is there no doubt of Bush’s complicity, but it’s plain to see that team Bush was specifically brought to power (by those who largely control the whole political process in the U.S.) specifically to get the Jewish PNAC agenda rolling.
I see a lot of references in here to Saudi Arabians but no one else. Bush and some Arabs.
Say, guv, who are you tryin’ to kid anyhow? You think we’re all that stupid around here? That worm Zellicow weren’t no Ay-rab, mate. It weren’t no Ay-rabs drove them white vans into the basement and got into the elevator shafts with their stuff. It weren’t no Ay-rabs did all the renovations. It weren’t no Ay-rabs stood down the air defence systems. It weren’t no Ay-rabs who carted away the evidence. The limited hangout of the Bin Ladens flying out the day carefully obscures the OTHER flight of approx 100 IDF-trained techs and so on who flew out on El Al. Not Ay-rabs, mate. Not Ay-rabs.
Nothing that we have been told about that day is correct. I believe 9/11 was a coup d’etat. A government cannot have a coup against itself, therefore, a faction with a foothold in government and many co-conspirators outside took control on that day. Bearing in mind the number of witnesses who have been killed, quite apart from the murder victims on 9/11, it can be judged that this was an act of treason by ruthless killers, and those in the government who were not party to the coup felt too intimidated and too weak to oppose it. For that reason, we are simply not in a position to know exactly who was a perpetrator and who became a prisoner of the coup. All we can say is that the coup enabled the furtherance of the Neo-Conservatives agenda for promoting the interests of Israel by war. it is also noteworthy that the conspirators knew they could rely on the MSM to promote the official conspiracy theory ad nauseam; I wonder why?
Perhaps it’s just as important to establish how little we know as well as how much. It is also important to remember that every time someone would have been informed of the intended coup, unless they could be relied on through some overriding loyalty, that would have represented a potential threat to the whole enterprise.
