Why did Bush lie about seeing the first plane hit the first tower on 9/11?

Question

Bush said he saw the first plane hit the first tower on 9/11, he said "I said to myself, my god that's an awful pilot". This was before he went into the classroom to be told the second plane had hit, but it's impossible that he saw the first plane hit, there's only ONE video of the first plane hit, and that didn't hit TVs till the next day, none of the news teams captured the first crash, so why did Bush lie about seeing the first crash on TV on 9/11?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I have to admit there were a h**l of a lot of coincidences on that day.

Answer 1

I have seen that recording. It was during the 2004 campaign and if I recall correctly he was speaking at a town hall meeting. You can probably find it on You Tube. Some say he mis-spoke. Others say he is lying. I have trouble believing anything from President Bush or the Administration, so that makes me suspicious of the official explanations.

Answer 2

Youtube is just silly propaganda. Anything can and is put on youtube but that doesn't make it true.

You don't suppose Bush saw the burning tower and said something about the awful pilot just like millions of the rest of us did? We didn't see the first plane hit either, but we thought the pilot was awful for running into something so big. We didn't know it was a terrorist attack until the second plane hit.

You need a hobby. Besides silly conspiracy fetishes.

Answer 3

How do we know he said this? Is there a recording of him saying this?

Or did someone else claim he said this?

Answer 4

He was already in the classroom when the planes hit.  If there was a conspiracy going on I don't think they would tell him.  I think he was just to respond  normally .   Who really knows anymore.  There are so many theories.  Best to just look at the facts, and he was in the class reading to the children.  Basta.

Answer 5

I don't think he did lie, and from that I draw my own conclusions.

Answer 6

Ya know, there are a lot of folks that just can't help themselves from making up B S about bush.

But then again they told a bunch of stuff about Billy Fred too, like he balanced the budget and didn't touch that woman(s).

Answer 7

He was just repeating what his advisors told him to say. I watched it myself on television and he did say it.  

Answer 8

He didn't lie. He did see it. He was shown a video of the plane hitting the building that was taken by a government operative that was given the assignment to film the event so Bush could see if the plan was working or not, and have a heads up on the event.

Answer 9

because he's a bum

Answer 10

he was already in the class room before the planes hit.

Answer 11

He ordered the attack and which were the only planes to leave America the Binladen family. who sponsor GWB.
