Why didn't Bush protect the US from 9/11?

Question

Why didn't Bush protect the US from 9/11?

Answer 1

Why didn't his grate grate grate grate grand uncle, Radu the Handsome (Dracula's g*y brother), protect Wallachia and the rest of Europe from Islamic imperialistic invasion? Because he didn't care. The important thing for him was his love to Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. "Lips" (Bush's nickname in his youth) has "important priorities" too (relationship with the absolute monarchy of Saudi Arabia, where the bombers came from), which are "more important" then the life of civilians.

Answer 2

He knew it would be good for the US, it was one of the prime requisites for the project for a new American Century, PNAC:

that in order for America to go around invading and bombing other countries, it wouldn't happen quickly "without a catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor"-just Google that phrase for the context.

Answer 3

How could he possibly expect something like this to happen since this was probably unexpected

Answer 4

Incompetence, collusion or not caring. A new 911 investigation is essential

Answer 5

Interestingly, yo question prompted me to consider the possibility that he couldn't - that someone stopped him from doing so.

Perhaps there was some sort of electronic interference involved between the white house and the military.

Perhaps, and i know a lot of people will hate me for saying this, the military ignored a presidential order.

for bri: The same way you stop any fast moving aerial vehicle - you shoot the fu*ker down with missiles.

A few hundred lives, in exchange for thousands.

That's the cold, hard logic of what we do.

Answer 6

This time next year, I will be asking the same question.

This time it will be, Why didn't Obama protect us from that

(nuke bomb), that took out N.Y.C. ?

Answer 7

You can't expect something that's never happened before.

Why didn't Clinton protect us from the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, or Waco, or the Oklahoma City bombing?

Answer 8

because he dont care what happens to you.

Answer 9

because he knew about it before it happened, and he wanted it to happen so that he has a solid reason to enter Iraq and have the potential to enter other middle eastern countries. after the 9/11 he has support of most americans, who developed a strong hatred for the arabs and asians. thats exactly what bush wanted.

Answer 10

The neocons believed it would take a catastrophic event, such as another Pearl Harbor, to get public opinion on their side. Bush and Rice clearly had warnings that Bin Laden was about to strike the US in a plot involving airplanes, yet the airports were not put on security alert.

We will never know what was in their minds as they ignored the warnings, but the way I look at it, the pieces fit together too well.

Answer 11

He didn't protect us because he is hiding something.  Its not a proven fact what - people have many conspiracy theories.  Many things are certain including the towers being taken down in a controlled demolition.  Professor Steven E Jones of BYU did a study on the collapse of the buildings and disproved the government's official reason.

The towers fell at free fall speed - something that cant be done without the use of explosives.

You can see the bombs going off when you watch the collapse at a slower speed.  

Fire doesnt melt steel

Watch some of the vides on this website and you will know what I am talking about http://www.911docs.net

Answer 12

You complain when he doesn't protect you.  You complain about your civil rights when he does.  Make up your mind because this hatred you have for Bush is creating a paradox in your fundamental logic center.

Answer 13

Probably has something to do with the fact that no one knew it was coming and it happened only nine months into his first term. Not exactly a lot of time to prepare for all contingencies.

Answer 14

how to you stop a huge plane in mid air?

Answer 15

It happened in 2001, and you come on this site and ask this question almost eight years later.  I think I smell a liberal here.
