Do you believe thet George Bush saw he first plane hit live on TV? When I
brought up that example McAdams censored it because he says I am not
allowed to call Bush a liar. Can I say he was temporarily confused? Same
disease McAdams has: Temporal Displacement Syndrome.
Bush 'Slip' Raises Questions
About Knowledge
Of 911 Attacks
From What Really Happened.com
12-6-1
Note: We have received repeated claims by many that they 'remember' seeing
the FIRST plane impact LIVE on The Today Show, Fox & Friends and/or CNN...
but none of these news organizations lay claim to having been on LIVE when
the first plane hit the first tower or feature any exclusive of first
impact footage, other than amateur footage, retrieved AFTER the fact; not
broadcast live at all. Many people appear to be layering their memories of
the second impact, and replays of the first impact, out of sequence in
time.
If anyone has definitive proof that any broadcasting news facility was on
LIVE and aimed at the twin towers to catch the first impact, please send
that proof here! We cannot find any such proof ourselves. Remember -- it
has to have been a LIVE broadcast of the first plane impact and have been
a national broadcast for Bush to have seen the first plane hit while in
Florida.
At
http://www.cnn.com/TRAN SCRIPTS/0112/04/se.04.html is a transcript of
President Bush's comments regarding the day of the attacks on the World
Trade Towers.
Towards the bottom of the transcript is the following quote.
QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much
you've done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel
when you heard about the terrorist attack?
BUSH: Well... (APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Jordan (ph).
Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when I
heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff,
Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program
that works. And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and
I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I use to
fly myself, and I said, "There's one terrible pilot." And I said, "It must
have been a horrible accident."
But I was whisked off there -- I didn't have much time to think about it,
and I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my chief who was
sitting over here walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower.
America's under attack."
There is a problem with the above statement. There was no live video
coverage of the first plane hitting the tower. There couldn't be. Video of
that first plane hitting the tower did not surface until days later.
Bush is lying through his teeth here.
Even though Bush is not a very good pilot (he was taken off of flight
status for failure to take a medical exam which included a drug test), it
would be silly to assume that a passenger jet hitting the WTC in clear
weather was pilot error. The only other known impact between an aircraft
and a New York skyscraper was when a military airplane crashed into the
Empire State Building in a heavy fog. Because of that incident, there are
mandatory altitude minimums over the island. If Bush really did see an
airplane on TV hitting the World Trade Towers, then he saw that the
aircraft was under control at the time.
And, it must be remembered that even after andy informed Bush of the
second impact, and by his own admission Bush knew we were being
attacked, he continued to read to the classsroom full of children.
Just think about that for a while.

Comment
Bush Ropes Himself In HUGE Gaffe Re Broadcast Of 1st WTC Strike
From TOP_VIEW

As they say, the truth has a way of slipping out, and it SURE did on
Tuesday, December 4, when bush was for once NOT reading his usual
dis-informative, canned, pre-spun lies and pablum, but was actually
talking on his own, using whatever brain cells he has left after all the
years of cocaine and booze abuse.
And THANK GOD for that, because WHEN bush was talking on his own on
December 4, he revealed something so staggeringly, astoundingly
important that even our jaded, overloaded minds lit up like Christmas trees.
Bush actually stated that on the morning of September 11 at JUST ABOUT 9
AM EDT, he WATCHED on a TV set a video/film clip of the first plane
hitting the World Trade Center, just prior to that well-known reading
session he was about to have with some (unfortunate) schoolkids.
That's nice. That's VERY interesting INDEED, mr. shrub, because that
first jet didn't bust into the WTC until JUST ABOUT 9 AM EDT that
morning!! So HOW in the name of God could you POSSIBLY have watched the
event on TV RIGHT THEN??
For bush to have watched the first WTC attack on a TV set, as he SURELY
did, he OBVIOUSLY was watching a VERY different channel than most
everyone else in the world right then.
But wait, many people have said. MAYBE, the shrub, the bush, the
President of the United States made a "MISTAKE" when he made the
comments on Tuesday.
A MISTAKE? About THIS? By the PRESIDENT??
Are these people KIDDING??
There is ONE thing for sure. Just as most people who were alive at the
time can remember just where they were and what they were doing when
they heard the news that President Kennedy had been assassinated, most
people -- and SURELY the President of the U.S. -- remember QUITE clearly
where they were and what they were doing when the WTC attack took place
on September 11.
For example: bush quite clearly stated on December 4 that Andy Card came
in to inform him of the SECOND WTC attack AFTER he had begun reading to
the schoolkids, so even pee-brain dubya clearly distinguished between
the two incidents and when each one occurred.
Heck: it was ONLY THREE MONTHS AGO!!
So, to reiterate: bush was DEFINITELY watching a "different" channel
than most everyone else in the world, to have seen the first WTC attack
on a TV set literally WITHIN MINUTES of the event.
He was OBVIOUSLY watching a closed-link video feed being transmitted
from cameras which agents/accomplices of the primary 9,11 perpetrators
had previously placed near the WTC for the SPECIFIC purpose of filming
their upcoming, scheduled "ATTACK ON AMERICA."
Bush has sunk his own ship this time.

Either way Bush is lying.
According to the Associated Press article, Bush was told of the attack
before he had a chance to see it on TV:
"In Florida, Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m.
when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The
president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He addressed
the tragedy about a half-hour later. -AP"(Link)

Jeff,
I read the article about President Bush's "slip" on your site and also
the attached comment. I am a Texan and I agree with the assessment made
in the comment. The only thing the "slip" reveals is that the President
is a Texan. As I read the statement I clearly remembered that the
networks did show live feeds of the towers moments after the impact, and
most were speaking about a horrible accident. To a fellow Texan, it is
obvious this is what the President was trying to say. He didn't see an
airplane hit the tower, he saw that an airplane hit the tower.

Jeff, Like Chet Zaba, I was suspicious of this article - that it was
maliciously manipulated to make the case against Bush. But then I read
it again. And re-read it. It's not Bush's use of grammar that is the
poiint of this comment. It's Bush's literal recollection of his personal
events that morning. Take a look - "...And I was sitting outside the
classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower ..."
"...But I was whisked off there -- I didn't have much time to think
about it, and I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my chief
who was sitting over here walked in and said, 'A second plane has hit
the tower. America's under attack.' " He clearly states he saw the first
plane hit the tower before he entered the classroom. Even if he did not
see the first plane hit on TV, like many people have mistaken for
themselves, he knew about the plane before he went into the class. After
hearing of the second plane. He continued reading to the class.

Me and my brother were watching ABC news later on that night and they
had the only footage of the first plane hitting the first tower. What
struck us as being very odd was the fact that whomever shot the footage
seemed to know something was gonna happen because he was standing there
with his camcorder pointing @the tower. And to make it worse, before the
guy panned up towards the tower, there was a firefighter standing to his
right in full gear. When the plane hit it didn't look like a 747, but
much smaller.

Something 'frighteningly wrong' with Bush comments on watching the first
WTC attack broadcast...
From: Marcia Olivetti <marcyo@xxx
Subject: Your article about the Trade Center film footage Bush saw
To:
TOP_...@planetmail.com
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001
We wanted to let you know, that we had your article forwarded from
someone on youre mailing list. He's sent us some of your other articles
before but frankly, many of them are a bit harsh for us.
When we saw that the fellow who forwarded it said he thought it was
really important, I decided to read it. Luckily your verbiage wasn't so
wild this time.
You should also know this: we lost my husband's uncle a New York City
firefighter and very dear relative, at Ground Zero on September 11. Some
of his co-workers have privately confided to us that they are sure bombs
were used in bringing down the twin towers.
But here's what we wanted to tell you. When I finished the article, an
awful, sickening feeling began to creep all over my entire body, and as
my husband was reading it I began to get really bad chills and started
crying.
It hit us harder and harder that something was frighteningly and
horribly WRONG with what the president said in that talk in Florida,
about having watched that first plane hit the World Trade Center on TV,
when it had only just HAPPENED!
So help me, the blood drained from my face and I almost dropped but Rick
caught me. I was feeling so sick to my stomach it was unbelievable.
I cried for days after the attacks on September 11, and I feel the same
now only SO MUCH WORSE.
We realize that the main point you have made in your article today
really can't be ignored or gotten around.
The only other possible way to explain what the President said, other
than him being 100 percent mentally incompetent, is that he was
deliberately lying; which makes absolutely no sense at all.
No, there really is no way around it, and this realization has simply
devastated us. It was our own leaders who carried out the attacks of
that dreadful and terrible morning, and now we know. I can hardly stand
to acknowledge this terrifying fact. To understand the depth and the
extent of the lies which these people, including the president, have
told about what took place on September 11 is to be shaken and ripped to
the core, at least for us.
Dear God, Dear God, heaven help America and the whole World. WHAT HAVE
THEY DONE? HOW COULD THEY DO THIS?
The feelings of dread and shock are very very deep, but we WILL do
everything we can to get this earthshaking news to every single person
we possibly can.
God bless you and thank you for putting yourselves on the line and
working so hard to get the truth out.
Sincerely,
Marcia and Rick Olivetti

Mr. Rense, I enjoy your program very much and I rely on the web site for
much of my news gathering, however, today's item "Bush Caught in Lie" is
pure nonesense. Knowing the part of the country the president is from
and understanding few of us speak perfect english, it is entirely
reasonable to assume that Mr. Bush meant to say "I saw an airplane had
hit the tower" instead of "I saw an airplane hit the tower."
I have been to Texas many, many times and trust me, his comment is
entirely how I might expect someone to express knowledge of an event
that had just occured, but which he may not have witnessed. The
explanation is in the inflection and delivery of the statement. Just try
repeating the quote to yourself several times as you might imagine the
president or another Texan saying it. Remember the relaxed form of
language common to this part of the country, the fact that certain words
are, at times, simply omitted from use and it becomes clear. This was
not a lie. He is describing the events as best he could given the
confusion of the moment and the terrible importance of what had
happened. Remember also, at least one aircraft was headed for the oval
office and I am sure security personnel were aware of all possibilities.
It was a frightening morning. I think I can forgive the man for perhaps
using language a bit less than perfect.
Keep up the good work,
Chet Zaba

I am writing in response to the Bush "slip-up" article. I too, hail from
Texas and felt, though I don't care for Bush at all and feel the WTC
attacks were planned and known by people INSIDE the US, I know and
understand why Bush said what he did.
The other people are correct as well in assuming Bush was simply
speaking "Texan" when he said he "saw" the first plane. He meant he KNEW
OF the first plane attack. Bush simply suffers from being raised aTexan
and having lazy and poor speaking skills.

Bush's grammar is NOT a factor in issue of WHEN he watched the 1st WTC
attack on television...
There was NO LIVE broadcast of the first WTC attack -- and there
COULDN'T have been for obvious reasons; unless CNN was in on the
atrocity too (could be, I guess...).
But anyway, going by the CLOCK, the known timeline, and by bush's own
words, grammatical or not, he HAD to have seen the damn thing AS IT WAS
HAPPENING at 8:48 AM. Even a few minutes later would have taken his
first viewing out of the only possible time frame, in relation to WHEN
bush went into the room to do the reading photo opp.
Again: to postulate that the U.S. president could possibly be in some
way mistaken about when he saw the film of the first attack is
completely ridiculous. Surely, if anything is on a par with remembering
"where you were when Kennedy was shot," THIS is.
And to claim Bush was for some reason or other deliberately misstating
things is -- in THIS case at least -- even more absurd. For what purpose?
Reprinted further below are URLS with transcripts of Bush's comments.
Here's the relevant portion from the transcript of Bush's statements:
QUESTION: ... how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?
BUSH: Well... (APPLAUSE) Thank you, Jordan (ph).
Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when
I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida.
And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom
talking about a reading program that works.
And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an
airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly
myself, and I said, "There's one terrible pilot." And I said, "It must
have been a horrible accident."
But I was whisked off there -- I didn't have much time to think about
it, and I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my chief who was
sitting over here walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower.
America's under attack."
There are BIG PROBLEMS with the above statement. There was NO live TV
coverage of the first attack. There COULD NOT have been. Video of that
first plane hitting the tower taken by a bystander did not air publicly
until hours AFTERWARDS; security camera footage aired only days later.
What's more: there is NO reason Bush would have thought a passenger jet
hitting the WTC in perfectly clear, calm weather was due to any kind of
"pilot error." This is merely disingenuous chaff being emitted by Bush
to cloud the issue and deflect any radar tracking.
And we should all keep in mind: by Bush's own admission even after Card
DID inform him of the second attack and Bush KNEW the Trade Center had
been nailed, he just sat there and kept (trying to) read about rabbits.
