WASHINGTON—While his new book details tense relationships within his administration and admits mistakes were made in the execution of the Iraq War, former president George W. Bush totally blanked on the 9/11 terrorist attacks while writing his memoir Decision Points. "He ends one chapter on what seems like a telling note, saying he felt nothing significant had happened in his first six months in office, but then the next chapter begins, 'It was almost Thanksgiving, and my approval rating was sky-high,'" reviewer Glen Harwell wrote Thursday, noting that Bush's account of the 2001 presidential turkey-pardoning dominates the next 3,000 words of the book. "It appears he just plain forgot to mention what many would call the defining moment of his presidency." Bush has already received criticism for claiming in the memoir that the worst moment of his years in the White House came when entertainer Kanye West sharply criticized him "over issues I cannot even recall at this time.

Why not, windbag? You made the suggestion. What's your problem, no balls?
I'm talking about law and order. executing criminals. Look dummy, you want to kill an innocent man for exposing corruption. Bushbots voted to kill thousands of innocents on a lark. they must die for their crimes.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
You're a fookin idiot. "they must be executed and their children and wives with them."
we will pass a law to that effect.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
Who is "we", fookin idiot?

Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
You're a liberal pussy and a windbag.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA 8D
And a Hearty Season's Greetings' Thank you to you, continental op for holding your nose thru the stench and burying the lil nazi. 8D
Now where were we. OH YEAH. HELLO Lil SWEET BABY HESUS!!!!!! 8D The ONLY reason I go to the bush43 liberry in SMU is to look up 9/11. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Well, let's get started then, shall we? This is gonna be good.
(6:00 a.m.) President Bush has just spent the night at Colony Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, Florida. Surface-to-air missiles have been placed on the roof of the resort. [Sarasota Herald-Tribune, 9/10/02] Bush wakes up around 6:00 a.m. and is preparing for his morning jog. [MSNBC, 10/27/02, New York Times, 9/16/01 (B), Telegraph, 12/16/01] A van occupied by men of Middle Eastern descent pull up to the Colony stating they have a “poolside” interview with the president. They are turned away for not having an appointment. [Longboat Observer, 9/26/01] Was this an assassination attempt modeled on the one used on Afghani leader Ahmed Massoud two days earlier? [Time, 8/4/02] The Colony Beach and Tennis Resort, where Bush stays the night before 9/11. [Colony Resort website] (6:31 a.m.) Bush goes for a four-mile jog around the golf course at the Colony Beach and Tennis Resort. [6:30, Washington Post, 1/27/02, 6:30, MSNBC, 10/27/02, 6:32, Washington Times, 10/7/02] (8:00 a.m.) Bush sits down for his daily intelligence briefing. "The President's briefing appears to have included some reference to the heightened terrorist risk reported throughout the summer" but contained nothing serious enough to call National Security Adviser Rice. The briefing ends at about 8:20. [Telegraph, 12/16/01] (8:20 a.m.) Boston flight control decides that Flight 11 has probably been hijacked, but apparently it doesn't notify other flight control centers for another five minutes, and don't notify NORAD until up to 20 minutes later. ["About 8:20," Newsday, 9/23/01, "about 8:20," New York Times, 9/15/01] ABC News will later say, "There doesn't seem to have been alarm bells going off, traffic controllers getting on with law enforcement or the military. There's a gap there that will have to be investigated." [ABC News, 9/14/01] Okie Dokie. The above is the first lie. The INSTANT the transponder is turned off, Flt 11 appears on EVERY FAA screen frpm Boston to Cleveland to DC.
8:25 a.m. Boston flight controllers notify other flight control centers of the Flight 11 hijacking, but supposedly they don't notify (NORAD for another 6 or 15 minutes (see 8:31 a.m. and 8:40 a.m.). [8:25:00, Guardian, 10/17/01] Why isn't NORAD also notified at this time? Note that this means the controllers working Flights 77 and Flight 93 would have been aware of Flight 11's hijacking from this time. [Village Voice, 9/13/01] Again, NORAD would have Flt 11 on screen as the FAA Control centers were in chaos. And the SS because of the UN NSSE were in control of NYC airspace. ABC News reporter John Cochran told ABC's Peter Jennings, "He got out of his hotel suite this morning, was about to leave, reporters saw the White House chief of staff Andy Card whisper into his ear, then reporters said to the President 'do you know what's going on in New York'? - he said he did and would have something to say about it later." Obviously, Bush could not have seen the first plane hit the tower because there was no TV footage broadcast of it until the next day. Occasion 2: President Holds Town Hall Forum on Economy in California [whitehouse.gov, January 5, 2002] "I was sitting there, and my Chief of Staff -- well, first of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on..." As has been well publicized, even after being told of the second plane hitting the south tower and that America was under attack, Bush sat reading a story about a pet goat for well over 5 minutes.
His first event is about half an hour at an elementary school in Sarasota, Florida. JENNINGS: Thanks, John. John Cochran with the president. The president's in Florida today pushing his education reform. It will get wiped off of the agenda today in view of this extraordinarily serious accident. Bush is informed at 9:05 about jets hitting WTC while speaker at Booker school in Sarasota. President Bush became briefly somber and continued reading a story about a goat for a while.. Read this and then ask yourself why Bush - ( a prime target ) - is at a school - while Cheney is in a bunker. 9-11 Research: Flight 175 2 At 8:42, Flight 175 veered off its planned course, and began flying south. 3 According to NORAD's June 18 timeline and prior press reports, at 8:43 the ... 911research.wtc7.net/planes/attack/flight175.html And this is a lie, as turning off the transponder puts flt 175 on every FAA screen in the Area.
So tell me again, bush43, why you completely omitted 9/11, the Trifecta of your worthless traitorous Presidency, form your memoirs? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 8D
And they STILL haven't gottne the Historical Revision Timeline correct on Montague Winfield: Search Results 1. Montague Winfield 8:30 a.m. September 11, 2001: Rookie in Command of the NMCC ... takes over temporarily from Brigadier General Montague Winfield and is effectively in charge ... www.historycommons.org › Entities - (After 8:46 a.m.) Brigadier General Montague Winfield is in command of the National Military Command Center (NMCC), "the military's worldwide nerve center." [CNN, 9/4/02] Good morning to you. BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Bill. At the very heart of the Pentagon is the National Military Command Center, a very secure facility. We were able to get a rare look inside and exclusive access to the NMCC logbook, and an equally exclusive interview with the man who was in the hot seat that morning. A ROOKIE is also in charge of FAA the morning of 9/11.
As bush43 reads the Pet Goat Upside down.
Why these three men? Authority in the U.S. military stems from a person's position in the military chain-of-command. The President and the Secretary of Defense are the two top positions in the military chain-of-command. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is part of the communications chain and can be given specific responsibilities by the President and/or Secretary of Defense. (1a) On 11 September, George Bush was President. Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense. And General Richard B. Myers was Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. These three men had critical responsibilities for the protection of New York and Washington, DC that day. According to information which is publicly available, they shirked their duties. Their behavior, as described in the media, presents the appearance of bewilderment, naiveté and lack of preparedness. But we shall prove that in fact their behavior betrayed consciousness of guilt. Let us begin at the top of the chain-of-command. =================== George Walker Bush
Associated Press reporter Sonya Ross was one of the journalists covering Bush's trip to Florida on the morning of 9-11. Ms. Ross was either on her way to the Booker School or already there when she learned of the first WTC crash: "My cell phone rang as President Bush's motorcade coursed toward Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Fla. A colleague reported that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center in New York. No further information. "I called the AP desk in Washington, seeking details. Same scant information. But I knew it had to be grim. I searched for a White House official to question, but none was on hand until 9:05 a.m. " AP 12 September (3) Ms. Ross 'searched for a White House official' because she knew Bush's people would be better informed than the Associated Press.
So Bush knew about the first WTC incident before leaving his hotel. What else did he know? 1) John Cochran reports that President Bush did not respond to Andrew Card. It is inconceivable that a living person could be told that a plane had just ploughed into the biggest building in New York and have no response. So Bush must have known before Card whispered in his ear.
15 posts and yours is the first one I see. Thank you Mr. Filter.
Um, it was a joke - Source: The Onion, Category: Humor.
I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that. Now I understand why car sun screens have REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING printed on them.
And just a btw here. All of the above has been going on since 8:14 am. But cheney's SS guard doesn't think it appropriate to inform the nominal man now in charge. But AFTER cheney turns on the tv and sees the WTC smoking !!!!! ..... Secret Service agents burst into Cheney’s West Wing office. “Sir,” one said, “we have to leave immediately.” Radar showed an airplane barreling toward the White House. Before Cheney could respond, the agents grabbed the vice president under his arms-nearly lifting him off the ground-and propelled him down the steps into the White House basement and through a long tunnel that led to the underground bunker.
I don't care. I figured something like that. The satire is Oh So Funny, because it's o so believable. The moron wouldn't have completely left it out. But now I want to read exactly what bush43 DID write? I bet it's nothing like what I've posted. Hell ain't 1/2 full and these fuckers are going insane as the devil comes to take what's his. 8D
15 posts and yours is the first one I see. Thank you Mr. Filter. Because the lil nazi's job is to pollute the thread and disappear it. Violence, in other words. 8D
I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that. Now I understand why car sun screens have REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING printed on them. Don't Give a Fuck. Not laughing because Satire is now dead. See TSA groping your kids, calls it a game, for detail. Or is that an Onion article as well. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 8D So what DID bush43 Worst POTUS ever (with Obama struggling to catch him;} say in his memoirs. Pack of lies, it HAS to be: Even without John Cochran's report on ABC, Cheney's comments constitute evidence that before President Bush went to the Booker School he knew a plane had been hijacked and then crashed into the WTC. Cheney was talking with 'Meet the Press' journalist Tim Russert about the flight path of American Flight 77, which struck the Pentagon. Here's the exchange: "Vice Pres. Cheney: ...As best we can tell, they [American Flight 77] came initially at the White House and... "Mr. Russert: The plane actually circled the White House? "Vice Pres. Cheney: Didn't circle it, but was headed on a track into it. The Secret Service has an arrangement with the F.A.A. They had open lines after the World Trade Center was... " "Mr. Russert: Tracking it by radar. "Vice Pres. Cheney: And when it entered the danger zone and looked like it was headed for the White House was when they grabbed me and evacuated me to the basement... (Etc.)" MEET THE PRESS Transcript (5) What is important about the above is that Cheney reveals that the Secret Service had open lines - instant communcation - with the FAA on the morning of 9-11. In describing this, Cheney left one sentence unfinished. The context suggests the sentence should have ended with the word 'hit' or something similar. Thus: "The Secret Service has an arrangement with the F.A.A. They had open lines after the World Trade Center was *hit*."
BTW the plane that DID circle the WH was one of TWO E-4B Flying Pentagons over DC that fateful Morning. Along with 4 OTHER US planes. Busy airspace for the Military,eh? 8D
And ALL of the above happening as bush43 reads the Pet Goat upside down.
White House Situation Room Director Deborah Loewer. (Before 8:55 a.m.) Captain Deborah Loewer, director of the White House Situation Room, is traveling in Bush's motorcade toward a Saratoga elementary school. She receives a message from her deputy in the White House Situation Room about the first WTC crash. As soon as the motorcade reaches the school, she runs from her car to Bush's car, and passes the message on to Bush. [Catholic Telegraph, 12/7/01, AP, 11/26/01] However, it appears Bush already knows (see (Between 8:46 - 8:55 a.m.)). Note that Bush maintains it is Karl Rove who tells him a few minutes later. For the record, bush43 will be held responsible. But as a stooge.
Switching gears here: " So while I haven't yet gotten very far in my research on Amazon in particular, I know that favored treatment by the State must necessarily be involved. After several decades of reading about and studying this subject, I have yet to come across a single exception to this general rule. More significantly, given the nature of the State and its manner of operation, it simply isn't possible for any enterprise to become and remain notably successful (especially when it is as dominant as Amazon, for example) without becoming enmeshed in the State apparatus. It's possible that a company may escape more complex involvement with the State in its early years, but if a company maintains its dominance over a significant period of time, it necessarily must be the recipient of State favoritism. In the better case, such a company may be largely the passive recipient of such favoritism (in contrast to those who eagerly seek special treatment from a succession of government agencies and flunkies and will happily pay for it in any manner demanded), but such favoritism will always be present." Note that 0n 9/10/01 Halliburton was going into BANKRUPTCY. Massive LawSuits threatening. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 8D
What about Cheney?
What about Cheney? cheney/rummy the co ordinators along with Poppy (there to keep the team steady;} Yet in nine years Congress has not once met to discuss the State of Emergency declared by George W. Bush in response to 9/11, a State of Emergency that remains in effect today. Appeals to the Congress to meet its responsibilities to review COG have fallen on deaf ears, even now that the Congress is dominated by Democrats.[49] Peter Dale scott: "One Congressman explained to a constituent that the provisions of the National Emergencies Act have now been rendered inoperative by COG. If true, this would indicate that the constitutional system of checks and balances no longer applies, and also that secret decrees now override public legislation. Understandably many people tend to repress the extraordinary facts that Cheney and Rumsfeld were able to 1) help plan successfully for constitutional modifications, when not in government, and 2) implement these same changes themselves when back in power. The first of these facts gives us a glimpse of an on-going power realm independent of the publicly acknowledged state. In the words of James Mann, “Cheney and Rumsfeld were, in a sense, a part of the permanent, though hidden, national security apparatus of the United States, inhabitants of a world in which Presidents come and go, but America always keeps on fighting.”[53] A CNN Special Assignment assessment of the COG planners was even more dramatic: ““In the United States of America there is a hidden government about which you know nothing.”[54]" The Only verification of what cheney did from 9-10 AM comes from cheney himself.
He devoted an entire chapter to this. Its called 'Day of Fire' moron. Sheesh....at least THUMB THROUGH THE BOOK if you aren't going to read it, dumbass.

Want to check in very quickly with the president of the United States. John Cochran with the president in Florida. John: JOHN COCHRAN reporting: Peter, as you know, the president's down in Florida talking about education. He got out of his hotel suite this morning, was about to leave, reporters saw the White House chief of staff, Andy Card, whisper into his ear. The reporter said to the president, 'Do you know what's going on in New York?' He said he did, and he said he will have something about it later.
