White House seeks to quell row over 'green jobs' advisor
Published: Friday September 4, 2009

The White House on Friday sought to deflect criticism of a special adviser who reportedly holds controversial views on the role of the George W. Bush administration in the attacks of September 11, 2001.

President Barack Obama's green jobs adviser Van Jones "continues to work in the administration," spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Friday, attempting to halt days of withering attacks from conservative television and radio stations.

Fox News reported that Jones signed a 2004 petition urging an investigation into "evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur."

1. It would be laughable, were it not so stupid
Because, see, it's okay to call Obama a Nazi, or a Commie, or Hitler, but DON'T YOU DARE say a WORD about Glorious Leader. :eyes:

3. Where would he get that idea?

Bush knew.

Here he is, just told a second plane has been hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center, a half hour after he’s been informed that a plane was hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center. He doesn’t even wink when Andy Card tells him, “America is under attack,” let alone scramble the Air Force.



At BEST, this shows criminal dereliction of duty. Most LIKELY, it shows treason.

Plot to assassinate Bush – reports

Ashcroft Flying High

Why would Osama bin Laden want to kill Dubya, his former business partner?

Genoa braces for G8 summit


Here’s more on the warnings the administration received BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001:

Rice More Sordid Than Foley

On her recommendation, Tenet briefed Ashcroft and Rumsfeld (not Powell, though).

Rumsfeld, Ashcroft said to have received warning of attack

An exasperated Tenet then ordered an underling to brief Monkey in Crawford in August.

While Bush vacationed, 9/11 warnings went unheard.

Here’s what seals the deal for me:

Bin Laden determined to strike in US

Then, he turned around and said to the CIA briefer:

"All right. You've covered your ass now."



I agree with Van Jones: We need to investigate and prosecute those who -- SEEMINGLY -- allowed September 11 to happen.

Van Jones is not a Troofer.

And now, I won't link to them.

13. Jeremiah Wright Redux
Need I say more?! And the cable news stations will be talking (with furrowed brows, mind you) about the 'sinister' Van Jones and the 'influence' he has in the Obama administration for weeks to come. They now have a new shiny object to focus on.

Pathetic!
