President George W. Bush
failed nation America
ordered total no shot down"

9: 03 a.m. Bush no action partakes
in a meaningless primary publicity
photo-op ignoring responsibility

School in Sarasota, Florida
Mr President beat around the Bush

is reading 'Met Pet Goat'
to school children
for five critical minutes

after he had been told
second World Trade
Center tower had been hit

that America was under attack

wait rewind "What's the time? "

approximately 8: 48 a.m.
morning September 11 2001
first pictures of burning

World Trade Center

are broadcast on live television
reporters news anchors viewers
have had no advance warning

"What has happened in lower Manhattan?

"So who did know? "
"Which national organizations
were all in the know? "

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)
National Military Command Center

the Pentagon
the White House
the Secret Service

Canada's Strategic Command

all knew that four
American commercial airplanes
had been hijacked

and President George W. Bush knew

they all already knew
that one plane had been
flown deliberately

into the World Trade
Center's North Tower
that a second plane

was wildly off course
also heading toward
Manhattan that a third

plane had abruptly
turned around over Ohio
was flying back toward

Washington, DC.

President Bush
assume command
lead the nation

"Do something? "

9: 03 a.m.
fifteen minutes
after it was clear

the United States
was under
terrorist attack

Bush still refuses
to face reality
assume command

President Bush
sits down
with a classroom

of second-graders
begins a 20-minute
pre-planned photo op?

in times of great
international crisis
decisive leaders

lead their nations
read 'Met Pet Goat'
while North Tower

burns people burn

postscript political
changed climate
after attack 9/11

few dared raise
challenging questions
about Bush's actions

one journalist said
Bush was "flying around
the country like a scared

child, seeking refuge
in his mother's bed
after having a nightmare"

another said Bush
"skedaddled"
both journalists were fired.

Bush administration
flexed muscle
finally fired back at

reporters reviewing inaction

no concise record
freedom of speech
investigation truth allowed

forget conspiracy theory
What are the facts revealed?
Facts? None of the hijackers

were Afghani from Afghanistan.
None had links to the Taliban.
None had links to Osama Bin Laden.

Facts? Alleged hijackers were all al-Qaeda.
All were Arabs from Arab countries.
None of these Arab countries were attacked?

Facts? 9/11 justified attacks on Iraq?
9/11 justified attacks on Afghanistan?
No hijackers originated in these countries?

Don't believe me? Check the flight lists.


American Airlines Flight 11
Hijackers: Mohamed Atta (Egyptian) , Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian) , Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian) .

Facts? A justified invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq,
is necessary based upon "geostrategic interests in the Mideast,
including pipeline plans launched in the early 1990s

by Unocal and other oil companies."
But president Bush has no links
to oil companies and US war production?

Or does he, no, surely not?

Justification invasions
needs Pearl Harbour scale attacks
Bush orders NORAD

To Stand Down.
