When George Bush knows he is going to have a really bad day, he goes to elementary school classrooms. For example, he recently knew he was going to have a bad day during the Gonzales testimony, so he did what any responsible person would do, he visited an elementary school classroom. The details of is mindless babbling about carpets was kindly covered by salon:

By coincidence, on 9/11/01, GWB as also babbling mindlessly in an elementary school classroom. Did he know he was going to be having a bad day? You are asking us to read a lot into what the Mossad knew or did not know based upon the one reference you gave. In fact, the proposal that GWB knew the date as well as the basics of the plot ( which is now publicly acknowledged ) has much stronger evidence to support it.
I don't like conspiracy theories like the one you advocate because, at least in part, they are based on speculation. The fact that 5 Israelis (two of whom were identified later by the FBI as Mossad agents) were filming WTC on 9/11 prior to the planes colliding with the buildings has been documented by a number of news sources. I am not going to speculate about the implications. I just wanted to highlight this well-documented fact.
Condi's Crawford Memo to GWB indicates that someone, the FBI probably, was tracking the plot. The later stages of the operation took place in Florida, not Germany. Daniel Hopsicker detailed Bush cronies involvement in flight training for Atta. The flight training was in the U.S. All those instructors not in on the plot tried to warn the government. We had more knowledge and critical planning than the israelis. Read about the FBI coverup during the trial of the captured attacker.

I didn't say Bin Laden was not responsible for 9/11. All I said was that there is solid evidence that Mossad agents were filming the planes as they hit WTC. This is the issue I was addressing and not Bin Laden. This fact on its own does not disprove (or prove) Bin Laden's role.
BTW Your portrayal of me as a "lunatic" and misquoting what I said is a transparent attempt to dismiss the documented fact that Mossad had pre-knowledge of the specific details of 9/11 so that you don't have to deal with the implications of this fact.
As for the French, it is not the same. The French claimed they had information about Bin Laden's plans to use planes (but no specific information about dates or details). The fact that Mossad agents were filming indicates they knew the specific details of what was about to transpire!
The men were first reported as Palestinian. Then Israeli. How about a compromise. The French proudly claim they warned the U.S. about the pending attacks. Condi Rice is confirmed to have given warning to GWB in Crawford, and at the time he seemed to be concerned. The warnings we got, wherever they came from, named Bin Laden. That is now not even debatable. You are a lunatic.
I simply do not know what Bin Laden's level of involvement was. What I know, though, is that there were 5 Israelis filming the 9/11 events. They were arrested by police and later 2 were identified as Mossad agents and "deported" to Israel.
I personally read this in Haaretz right after 9/11. The story of the 5 Israelis filming 9/11 and celebrating was also reported by a number of sources in the main stream media. Some of the links have "disappeared" since but a number of them remain.
www.whatreallyhappened.com/fiveisraelis.html references some of these sources. I don't fully agree with the analysis but the story is real.
Again I don't know what Bin Laden did or did not do. I think there is little doubt though that Mossad agents knew about 9/11 before it happened! It is possible they knew what Bin Laden was up to and simply chose not to interfere because a terrorist attack on America would be good for Israel, as former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted, or it could be more!

I think all of the perpetrators, including the one caught alive, moussowi, seem to confirm that the Bin Laden network was behind the attack. The link you gave will not even accept that. They seem to believe that the FBI is not looking for Bin Laden
When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page (30), [Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI] said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”
From actually reading the link, I have determined that the entire thing is poop.
This is another lie propagated by the Israel Lobby so that Americans would turn the other way as Israel brutalizes the Palestinians using US taxpayers' money. The kids who were photographed eating sweets in Nablus had just been given these sweets by an Israeli soldier.
The people who were actually rejoicing were the Mossad men who had been filming the event.
"The New York Times reported Thursday that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterward"
Also, let's not forget what the former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahun had to say on the day of the 9-11 attacks when asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)" Now that's a man rejoicing!

It wasn't the Israelis or AIPAC dancing in the streets. It was the Palestinians. That may have been one factor in the blinding fervor that got the whole country to back the invasion of Iraq without hesitation or question. How do they come out of this as a victim?
