The Dog That Did Not Bark (one of the the best ways to express
the doubts about what really happened on 911 that I have read. It's probably been posted before, but it's new to me....

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/9-11secretservice.html

The Secret Service at Booker Elementary:
The Dog That Did Not Bark

(video click-on of Bush at Booker Elementary School, 9-11-01)

Forget what is in this video.
Concentrate instead on what should be there and isn't!


We've all seen the video. It figures prominently in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11". It is the video of George Bush at Booker Elementary School being informed by Andy Card of the second impact of a passenger jetliner into the World Trade Center, then sitting there for several minutes reading about goats.

What damns the Bush administration is not what is in this video, but what SHOULD be in the video and is not. Ostensibly, Bush and Card are reacting to a surprise attack, but Bush does not act surprised, and Andrew Card does not act like a man delivering an unexpected piece of news but instead is merely delivering a progress report to which he already knows Bush will not have an immediate response.

There is one more thing that should be in this video and isn't, and that is the Secret Service, the protective detail whose one and only job is the President's safety.

The fictional Sherlock Holmes solved the crime in "Silver Blaze" deducing that it is the owner of the house who is the criminal. How does he know? Because the dog did not bark. The only criminal who could could carry out the crime and not arouse the dog was a criminal the dog already knew as a friend, the dog's owner.

Now let us turn our Sherlockian logic on 9-11. Hijacked aircraft were wandering across the eastern half of the country. In theory nobody could have known how many there are or if more planes were not in the process of being hijacked. How could they? Two of the planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. There is an airport only four miles from Booker Elementary School, and Bush's presence at the school was in the news media days in advance. The Sarasota Herald Tribune announced Bush's visit to Booker on September 8th, given the 9-11 planners three days to include Bush as a target for a diving jetliner. Nobody could have safely assumed he was not a target.

And yet the Secret Service did not rush in and remove the President to a secure location, or at least to the safety of the armored Presidential Limousine. That's their job. That's what they do in the case of a real surprise attack with so many unknowns. They don't do anything else.

But the Secret Service did nothing. The dog did not bark.

2. The dog NEVER barks....
What about CessnaGate (which I believe was a re-enactment to clear them of this very accusation. See, if another emergency arose, and they didn't tell **, well, then, the problem is just inept "intelligence.)

Anybody with eyes can see the truth here.

3. Here's the deal....Herr Busch already knew about the first attack....
...because he was told about it while the motorcade was on the way to the Florida elementary school. Card told Herr Busch about the second attack while he was in the classroom. The reason that he spent the next 20-30 minutes looking like he was mesmerized is because he was waiting for his part to play in the national drama.

The waiting period was also used to allow maximum media exposure of the unfolding events. The fifteen minute delay between the first impact on the WTC and the second impact was to draw the media to the event and allow every camera in NYC to be focused on thr disaster. The 20-30 minute delay by Herr Busch was to allow the third plane to hit the Pentagon. Maximum media exposure world wide, maximum terror.

Herr Busch then told the world that the US had been attacked by terrorists in a pre-prepared speech. The next time he spoke, he was on the next leg of his little trip across country designed to induce more fear in the general population.

Herr Busch told an audience in the White House less than a month later the following:

<http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0112/04/se.04.html>

QUOTE (about 5/6 of the way down the webpage):

"QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?

BUSH: Well...

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you, Jordan (ph).

Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly myself, and I said, 'There's one terrible pilot.' And I said, 'It must have been a horrible accident.'

But I was whisked off there -- I didn't have much time to think about it, and I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my chief who was sitting over here walked in and said, 'A second plane has hit the tower.
America's under attack.'"


So, I bet you're wondering how Herr Busch was able to see the first plane strike the WTC. Consider this for a moment...the limo is packed with the latest communications gear, including close-circuit television. If the NeoCons knew when and where 911 was going to take place, how difficult would it have been for them to have had a camera present sending the signal back to the limo? Too many people are willing to dismiss this statement as the ramblings of someone that may have been confused...but not me. Please note the clear distinction he made about who told him about the second plane.

Somebody on the White House communications staff knows what happened on 911. When the crap hits the fan...and it will...who will be the first to step forward and tell the truth?

5. the answers were out there
"Somebody on the White House communications staff knows what happened on 911."

I suspect anyone that can prove the truth are not gainfully employed in the ranks of the living anymore.

6. OK question here - even if the President goes to a children's school
his entire Secret Service is suppose to be there? I know the secret service is always withe the president but I just want to be sure.

I have never considered 9/11 to be related to the White House - it makes me sick to think of is.

9. The last time he went to a summit in Europe
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 07:42 AM by htuttle
...they took several dozen SS agents, several hundred FBI agents, and a small contingent of US military, complete with vehicles waiting on a carrier offshore.

I would imagine he had at least a half-dozen SS agents with him in Florida. I know the SS wouldn't let him travel anywhere unless they feel they could assure his safety, even before 9/11.

The operative question is: How did they know they could assure Bush's safety sitting in that elementary school during the attacks?
