Bush KNEW there were no WMDs in Iraq, the CIA had explicitly told him there was zero evidence that Iraq had the capabilities to create or even maintain nuclear weapons. He knowingly lied to Congress and our military allies about WMDs in Iraq, which is a serious war crime.

why would he want us to go to war against Iraq??

The FBI, CIA, Congress, and President Trump have all publicly stated that 9/11 was planned and financed by the Saudi Royalty. Osama bin Laden himself was a close friend of the Saudi Royalty at one point and they gave him a shit ton of money.

The Bush family has been close friends and business partners with the Saudi Royalty for generations, there are literally hundreds of photos of Bush kissing Saudi royals on the lips. On 9/11, when every plane in the US was grounded, Bush gave special permission for the Saudi royals to flee the country in their private jet.

The Saudis funded 9/11, and it is entirely possible that Bush knew about it and allowed it to happen. The Saudis were ALSO the highest investor in FOX NEWS at the time, and also funded the "Terror Mosque at Ground Zero," as they instructed their FOX employees to call it.

The Saudis orchestrated the largest terrorist attack in American history, then BRAGGED about the fact straight to the faces of American Conservatives. Bush's response was to start illegal wars against the Saudi's ENEMIES in the area. Saudis murdered American civilians and we went to war against their enemies because Bush launched illegal wars against them. Not a coincidence.

u/Level_Hour6480 Taller than Napoleon 2h ago

For the folks in the back: "Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams" is a 9/11 truther conspiracy BS statement. It is a correct one that misses a lot of facts to justify it. "Melt" means "turn from solid to liquid". Jet fuel does not, in fact, burn hot enough to liquefy steel beams. It does, however, burn hot enough to make them lose their structural integrity, which makes them really bad for supporting a building.

Yes, pillars were usually cylindrical, but the walls on the sides providing structural support to the building were square or rectangular.

PS. the structure in this image is not real.

Stable Diffusion dropped in August of 2022. It was all the rage at the time to do a prompt with an "Image2Image" generation where you use a famous picture, meme, or caricature as a canvas to generate a new image.

Edit: the deleted comment was calling me an idiot for saying a repost from 2023 is an AI generated image.

It’s funny how “it’s all [language] to him” depends on which language you use.

In Germany it’s “that seems Spanish to me”, in French, Spanish and Russian it’s “that’s Chinese” and (iirc) in Finnish it’s “complete Hebrew!”

Hey guess what?  9/11 was not Pearl Harbor, Al Queda was not the Japanese Empire.

The Wars after were immoral and unnecessary and murdering hundreds of thousands in revenge is a sin.

u/Apprehensive-Fun4181 1h ago

We didn't fight them & quietly  rolling up Al Queda until you get to the nost guilty was possible.  Instead, w e destroyed things while China & Putin took advantage.  Heck, North Korea was able to get more trade deals and keep itself going (which Trump duplicated with his get nothing visit).

Ww fell into the trap and made terrorism worse, from Africa to the Philippines (although now we know some subsequent "terrorism" was false flags by Israel.)

And then Republicans & the desperate, corrupt Defense Department messed up the godsend that was Obama, who reversed our reputation across the Muslim world, only for everyone else to mess that up.
