Analysis of Bush's 9/11 Claims

Lord, you're not gonna believe where, what state I was in when I heard about the

terrorist attack. I was in Florida. Uh, my Chief of Staff, Andy Card...

Well, actually, I was in a classroom talking about a reading

program that works.

It, uh, I had, was sitting outside, uh, the, the classroom waiting to go

in. I saw an airplane hit the tower of a, of a t- TV was obviously on.

The president tells us he sees, on an ordinary TV set outside a school

classroom, the first plane hit the World Trade

Center.

He gives the oddly reinforcing detail that, quote, "The TV was

obviously on," unquote. He continues.

I used to fly myself, I said, "There's one terrible pilot." I said,

"It must have

been a, a horrible accident." I was whisked off there.

I didn't have much time to think about it.

Didn't have time to think about it, as if his being told,

"Time to meet the kids, Mr. President," stops all his thought

processes

concerning a remarkable image of what he's told us he's just seen on an

ordinary TV, on top of all his knowledge of the

unprecedented situation from earlier in the morning.

Anyway, could George Bush have seen, on ordinary TV, the first plane hit the

World Trade Center? No, he could not have.

The footage of that first strike only shows up on television the next

day, September the 12th, 2001. It was taken by a French

documentary crew that happened to be in downtown New York.

The Orlando town hall session takes place seven weeks after 9/11,

so it can be suggested Bush confuses the second plane with the first.

But how to explain this? We've all seen Andy Card do that.

None of this can ever be retracted.

It is an interlocking historical record.

Like George Bush is very convincing that he saw the first plane strike the

World Trade Center the morning of 9/11 on regular TV.

He provides supporting details, has repeated the story,

and never retracted

it. It has run on the White House website.

Since he cannot have seen it on regular TV as he claims, it is not

unreasonable to conclude that he sees the first plane on private

closed circuit

TV earlier that morning, or in a private holding room later.

Either way, I submit this could mean that someone had to arrange for

cameras to be positioned and rolling to record the first plane

strike.

Those involved had to know precisely that the first plane was in the air,

where and

when the plane would hit. In other words, people closely associated with the

President of the United States had very specific prior knowledge of the existence

of the first plane, its destination, and its purpose.
