1. Jerk. Crook. Liar. Worst. pResident. Ever.
The man should be in jail. He should have lots of friends in there with him, too. Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, for starters...

2. Conspiracy just means a secret, illegal plot
so, strictly speaking, Bush was correct even according to the official story.
But Frank Luntz or whoever obviously told him to say "organized plot" instead of "conspiracy". |

18. Yeah
I think this is nitpicking a bit. Bush bears so much more low-hanging fruit.

23. +1. Except for the Frank Luntz angle, this is an utter non-issue
Any attempts to play "gotcha" with Dubya's almost use of "conspiracy" is a total waste of time and energy and shows complete ignorance of the word's meaning.
No one who understands the meaning of the word would dispute that 9/11 was a conspiracy. Where the disagreement lies is in who the "evildoers" behind that particular conspiracy were. ![]() Bush's "gaffe" was tantamount to his saying "Bible" instead of "Scripture" (or, heaven forbid, "country" instead of "Homeland." ![]() ![]() |

3. Ok, I understand...
Not wanting to necessarily use the word conspiracy because of the connotations, but to play devil's advocate...
If multiple people plan a criminal act, isn't that kinda by definition a conspiracy to commit said act? |

24. It's an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
Nothing more. You sound like a conspiracy theorist.

5. it was a conspiracy among the 19 hijackers
making something out of this reminds me of rightwing attacks on Obama that simply don't make any sense.

28. why don't you go to....
...www.911independentcommission.org/questions.html (for example) and answer the questions posed by the 9/11 families. when you have done that we can see if your anti-conspiracy attitude is worth a damn. let's see how much sense you make.

no matter what theory you believe because it was not carried out by one person.

11. Maybe he was going to say 'concerted attack'?
This seems to be in reference to the follow-up explosion in West, Texas, before people knew if it was an industrial accident, or malicious act, like the Boston Marathon bombing.
There's more than one word in the dictionary that starts with 'Co'. |

Yeah, just ask the Pentagon with 40 minutes notice. Billions on DEFENSE, but they failed miserably, and no one wants any explanation.

17. Why does he insist on saying "Homeland" and not "America"?
Sorry, but I know German, and that word homeland smacks of Heimat which is OK in German but which in English has uncomfortable, NAZI associations.
Why do they use that term? It was never used when I was growing up. It seems to have been brought in during the Rove/Cheney/Bush period. I don't like it at all. |

The neocon PNAC crowd brought it in. It sure does smack of their fascist roots. |

19. FYI We don't live in the "Homeland"
That is some sort of racist nazi Texas term; but I don't use it. No one should. Maybe in his mind; bush lives in the "Homeland"; but the rest of us are United States Citizens. Of course in bush's Universe; he is a great hero; and a great President. Some sort of Parallel world.

worse orator than this guy. I have never seen anyone run for dogcatcher who is this impaired - in every sense - publically.
