Did Al Qaeda Try to Assasinate Bush in Florida as First Step of 9/11 Attacks
911Reality.com ^ | September 25, 2001 | The Longboat Observer, Shay Sullivan, City Editor

Al Qaeda Tried to Assassinate George Bush at 6:00 AM on 9/11 2001, just as Al Qaeda Assassinated Northern Alliance Chief on 9/10 Possible Longboat terrorist incident Is it a clue or is it a coincidence?

By now, most everyone knows President George W. Bush began that fateful day, Sept. 11, on Longboat Key, but the FBI is now investigating whether terrorists also began that fateful day here on the island. At about 6 a.m. Sept. 11, Longboat Key Fire Marshall Carroll Mooneyhan was at the front desk of the Colony Beach & Tennis Resort as Bush prepared for his morning jog. From that vantage point, Mooneyhan overheard a strange exchange between a Colony receptionist and security guard.

A van occupied by men of Middle Eastern descent had pulled up to the Colony stating they had a “poolside” interview with the president, Mooneyhan said. The self-proclaimed reporters then asked for a Secret Service agent by name. Guards from security relayed the request to the receptionist, who had not heard of either the agent or plans for an interview, Mooneyhan said.

The receptionist gave the phone over to a nearby Secret Service agent, who said the same thing — no one knew of an agent by that name or of any poolside interview.

The agent told the occupants of the van to contact the president’s public relations office in Washington, D. C., and turned them away from the premises, Mooneyhan said.

In light of the attacks, Mooneyhan wonders if what he witnessed is related to the events of Sept. 11.

So does the FBI.

On September 10, 2001, in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda terrorists posing as television journalists killed the head of the Northern Alliance, by blowing themselves up during a TV interview in a homocide bombing.

Al Qaeda knew the day before 9/11 that on 9/11 Al Qaeda would come under retaliation from the USA. Killing off their main opposition in Afghanistan was part of this.

Using the exact same formula, was the first stage of the 9/11 attacks supposed to be the assassination of George Bush in Florida around 6:00 to 7:00 AM on 9/11 2001 ?

There were apparently more aircraft hijack crews who bombed, though we haven’t heard much about that since the day.

It would have been a major mistake. President Cheney would have been a fearsome opponent! (Not that President Bush didn’t do well on the war on terror - one of the few things I agreed with him on.)

No way. Of course they didn’t get Bush. Bush was with Cheney planting the dynamite at that time.

On September 9, 2001, two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States, Massoud was assassinated in Takhar Province of Afghanistan by suspected al-Qaeda agents.

Massoud was the target of a successful suicide attack at Khwaja Bahauddin, Afghanistan on September 9, 2001. The attackers' names were alternately given as Dahmane Abd al-Sattar, husband of Malika El Aroud, and Bouraoui el-Ouaer; or 34-year-old Karim Touzani and 26-year-old Kacem Bakkali.[30] The attackers claimed to be Belgians originally from Morocco. However, their passports turned out to be stolen and their nationality was later determined to be Tunisian. The assassins claimed to want to interview Massoud and then, while asking Massoud questions, set off a bomb in the camera, killing Massoud.

If you can believe this. A local attorney who handled the closing on our co-op assured me that 9/11 was orchestrated by President Bush.

She assured me tho that she wasn’t a conspiracy nut.

A strategic rather than a tactical decision. Just wanted to show that they could.

Our country was very galvanized as patriots with the September 11th attack.
Those disgusting dirtbags really would have been in deep water had they also attempted to harm our President George W. Bush that same day.

Entirely plausible. Especially given the attack on the head of the NA in Afghanistan. They do tend to like to keep using the same MO over and over again.

I also believe that there were more planes with hijackers on them, to hit other targets around the country but that they were disrupted by the immediate grounding of air traffic.

There were reports of flight crews finding stashes of box cutters on several other aircraft.

If I recall after all planes were grounded the clean up crews found box cutters stuffed in the back of some of the seats.

IMHO there were other planes to be used but for some reason they were not carried out.

If Americans were to place Muslims in harms way for killing a president, they would have to overcome the immediate response from the elite about racism and Muslim victimhood... In other words, Americans will never stand up for themselves.

She is believing a conspiracy theory, whether she wants to admit to being a nut or not. A conspiracy is a plot by 2 or more persons.

There WAS a conspiracy to carry out the 9-11 attacks. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

The COMPETING conspiracy theory is to say that “Bush knew” and the government “let it happen” (augmented by controlled demolition) or that the planes were flown by remote control and a missile was launched at the Pentagon painted to look like a plane and the actual plane and passengers “disappeared”.

Ask her how many people were involved in the OKC bombing, 2 or more? 2 were convicted. We know that we let some people go for testimony. And all hunt for John Doe 2 was dropped and the witnesses were told “he didn’t really exist”.

But she’s not a nut, right?

The Presidential detail is contaced about several middle eastern men claiming to be press, who use the name of a fictitious SS agent as entree. The Presidential detail does not seek to detain them, but tells them to call the WH press office. Was this agent promoted to counterfeit division in Dutch Harbor?
