20. Who would YOU have head up the investigation, seeing as the"9-11 Omission, ooops, I mean Commission"

Apr 2016

The 9/11 Commissioners concluded that officials from the Pentagon lied to the Commission, and considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements

The Co-Chair said “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue..."

The 9/11 Commission chair said the Commission was “set up to fail”, and

The Commission’s co-chairs said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our investigation”, and


9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up”. When asked in 2009 if he thought there should be another 9/11 commission, Cleland responded: “There should be about fifteen 9/11 commissions”, and


The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) – who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry – said “At some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened“. He also said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”

Don't forget that Saudi Prince Bandar's nickname was "Bandar Bush" because he spent so much time with the Bush Family...
