Former Dem. Senator Bob Graham Decries 'Massive Coverup' Of 9/11

[debunkthis]

Given the source, this should not be dismissed as simply a "conspiracy theory"

1. No 'conspiracy theories' from Senator Graham.

He's been frustrated by his inability to discuss/divulge information he obtained while still in the Senate.

2. thanks for the post

It's nice to know there are people out there still looking for the truth.

6. Places like DailyKos will get you "Insta Banned" if you don't swallow Bush's tall tale about 9/11.

OPERATION NORTHWOODS:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=92662&page=1

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba

In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.

Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

12. Are you suggesting "Operation Northwoods" was pulled off the shelf and dusted off...

...to be used to get us into Iraq?

When taken as part of a growing picture that includes:
1) Bush unable to remember how he first learned of the 9/11 attacks--he first said he saw it on TV but later changed his recollection to say he was notified about it.
2) Bush flies all of the Saudi family out of the US the day after 9/11 when no other planes were allowed in the air.
3) The lies used to place blame on Saddam Hussein: Yellow cake and WMDs, for example.

Not to mention: Bush family and Saudi royal family has been friends and business partners for decades (Salem bin Laden, Osama's brother, financed W's oil ventures in Texas in the early 1970s)

It makes sense.

3. I Have Always Thought That 9/11 Was A Massive Screw-up

Rather than a massive cover-up. Lack of response to the August 6th PDB saying "bin Laden determined to strike inside US" cannot be forgiven and that is a massive screw-up, any way you cut it.

[bvar22]

4. However, there WAS and STILL IS a "Massive Coverup"...

...of the Massive Screw Up,
aided and abetted by the current Democratic Party leadership.

[Enthusiast]

8. They allowed it to happen because it served their purpose.

It was no screw up. Look how radically the nation has changed since that moment of impact. Surely there is more to it than a massive screw up.

[2pooped2pop]

10. yep n/t

[shebornik]

11. letting it happen doesn't explain

why three buildings imploded on themselves, and were never investigated. Something that has never occurred outside of controlled demolition. Not to mention the pentagon, the supposedly most secure building in the world, which couldn't produce any clear pictures of a plane hitting that building.

[Enthusiast]

15. I know.

It's more than curious. And they do not want us to talk about it. When there is something TPTB do not want us to talk about you can bet we are getting dangerously close to some closely protected secret.

7. LIHOP

Also, before President Obama took office, he had to agree that his DOJ would not pursue anything, or ask any questions that might implicate or otherwise compromise the credibility of the Bush Administration.

[Nitram]

9. He did?

Could you please send a link to evidence for that, Enthusuiast?

[Enthusiast]

14. Okay. Let's say the President didn't make such an agreement.

Why then, has he failed to investigate numerous obvious violations of the oath of office by the previous administration?

Why haven't we really looked at 911? Events leading up to the Iraq War? Torture?

If the president made no such secret agreement, we are supposed to believe it was just good will on the part of the president, that we will simply "look forward"? That is a whole lot of bull we are expected to swallow.

[Nitram]

21. OK, I get it.

Conspiracy theories win the day.

[Scuba]

17. Before he took office? No, I'd guess more like an hour later.

[KansDem]

13. The 28 redacted pages have to be sitting on a server somewhere...

Where are the hacktivists?

[colsohlibgal]

16. Thank You Bob Graham!

I'm not sure what the exact whole truth is but I'm as sure as I can be that the official narrative is largely fiction. That is so because there are many things that just do not add up.

One big thing is the BS about the airliner's black boxes - they are virtually indestructible so saying they couldn't find them or they were too damaged is a crock. What did/do they not want us the know?

[wildbilln864]

18. k & r! n/t

[wildbilln864]

19. 9-11 was a false flag!

[wildbilln864]

20. and a kick! n/t

[wildbilln864]

22. kick, n/t

[wildbilln864]

23. building 7 new footage?

Ran across this. Is this real or ??

[debunkthis]

24. Based on comparison with existing footage

this could well be authentic. It does fit well with what we know of the demolition of WTC 7.

[cpwm17]

25. Obvious hoax

[Politicalboi]

26. If that is real, it's a damn good one

Here's another one of WTC 7.

[undeterred]

27. Wow, just wow.

[TheMathieu]

28. Mental illness is a terrible thing.

I hope Sen. Graham gets the help he needs.

[wildbilln864]

29. nevermind. n/t

[cpwm17]

30. Sen. Graham is fine

He is concerned about the cover-up of evidence that powerful people in Saudi Arabia assisted those terrorists fly those airplanes into those buildings. The Bush administration was more concerned about their own selfish interests than doing anything about the people that were actually involved in 9-11.

Sen. Graham is concerned about facts and not some crazy conspiracy theories.
