Tomorrow marks the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In a press conference today, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Dana Perino about the administration’s ongoing efforts to find Osama bin Laden, calling him the “mastermind” of 9/11. Perino interrupted the reporter, claiming bin Laden was not the true “mastermind” of the attacks:

Q But Osama bin Laden is the one that — you keep talking about his lieutenants, and, yes, they are very important, but Osama bin Laden was the mastermind of 9/11 –

PERINO: No, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind of 9/11, and he’s sitting in jail right now.

Perino seems to be attempting to justify the White House’s failure to catch bin Laden by suggesting he was not the “mastermind.” But in September 2006, former press secretary Tony Snow stated:

Osama bin Laden, mastermind of September 11th, the person that many people talk about and still have concerns about, calls this fight, the fight in Iraq, “the third world war.”

While Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has admitted to being the “architect” of 9/11, bin Laden was not inconsequential; he approved and executed the attacks. KSM in fact, brought the idea to bin Laden, who according to the 9/11 Commission, “wanted to hit the White House, Pentagon and U.S. Capitol,” not just the World Trade Center.

Perino suggested that it would take “superpowers” to catch bin Laden. “So there are human limitations to any — this is not the movies, we don’t have superpowers,” she said. It didn’t, however, take “superpowers” to capture bin Laden at Tora Bora in late 2001, where he escaped in part because of a lack of troops.

1. Really?

And why exactly did the US attack Afghanistan?
And I'd love to see one day another photo of KSM than the one from 2003.

[CJCRANE]

2. And who else wanted to attack the U.S. Capitol?

Remember the anthrax...

[bulloney]

3. CYA Dana.

We haven't captured Osama bin Laden = bin Laden not mastermind of 9/11.

We caught the mastermind, therefore, we did good!

I guess that means when OBL releases his videotape just before the elections, we should ignore it because we caught the mastermind of 9/11?

These idiots will say anything, and I mean ANYTHING.

4. Wow. She's hot.

Too bad she's also stupid and evil.

[BayjanDem]

6. Oh man...

Obama said it best: "They must think we're stupid."

[MrMickeysMom]

11. Please set your standards higher

Everything coming out of this twits' mouth negates any hair styling and make up of an otherwise sell out news reader.

[Lethe]

5. hmmm...and the FBI does not mention 9/11 on Osama's most wanted page

http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm

So osama wasn't responsible for 9/11??

WTF?

[MrMickeysMom]

10. They never did, yet McCain thinks he has a plan to get OBL

I guess that raises the notch of McCain stupidity ever higher.

Truth is, Dana, you DON'T't know who the master mind was behind 911. You only know what confessions under US torturing a la the Military Commissions act will produce.

[Faith No More]

7. Yet another

attempt to justify their failure to get bin laden. What a bunch of incompetent, lying scumbags this administration is. What a right-wing whore you are Perino.

[NotThisTime]

8. Glad to see he's not on the FBI's list - but why is McStupid going to the gates of hell for him then

9. Free,. Freefalling,. . WTC7,. . the physics is incontravertable.

"Regarding the video:
Contrary to the August 2008 NIST report on WTC7, the acceleration of Building 7 has been measured and is found to be indistinguishable from the acceleration of gravity over a period of about 2.5 seconds during the fall. Freefall indicates zero resistance. It also indicates that the energy of the falling mass is not available to do work on the lower structure (i.e. such things as breaking, bending, crushing, etc.) A video detailing the measurement process and commenting on the results is posted on the AE911Truth YouTube channel, accessible through http://www.ae911truth.org/freefall. The video responds to the recently released NIST WTC7 document."

Today is the aniversary of 9/11,. is'nt it time we learned the truth? Buildings do not just fall down,. WTC 7 was a 47 floor STEEL FRAMED building,. NO plane hit this building, and on 9/11 it fell down, at freefall speed, showing no resistance from the lower floors,. something is very wrong witht he official story, OBL and all of his 'terrorist network' could not have wired the three WTC towers for controled demolition,. . and yet this is exactlly what we saw that day,. 3 vey controled demolitions. wake up people! This event is the linch-pin of the PNAC takeover of america,. by undoing the lies perpetrated that day the neo-cons are disempowered,. and should be brought to justice for their actions.

16. good doc!

That looks like a very good doc about the towers, and the illogical, and ant-scinetific findings of the bush/cheney administration,. ( I only watched the first two parts, so far.) Steel framed towers do not collapse from fire,. period. This is why rescue workers are trained to rush into such sturctures to save the servivors and trapped people. If the official story is to be belived all enginering and building codes need to be revised,. as well as all emergency responce codes., . hummm,. none of this has happened.

Why are so many people willing to let them get away with this fraud ?

[iamthebandfanman]

12. this needs to be viral n/t

[Captiosus]

14. Words fail me.

After 7 years, Osama Bin Laden ISN'T the mastermind of 9/11?
All of the sudden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the "mastermind"?

First they politicize 9/11 at the RNC, now they're trying to practice revisionist history to compensate for their shortcomings in Afghanistan.

And people support 4 more years of this shit?

At this point, words absolutely fail me.

15. Big Pauly didn't know for a fact Henry, Jimmy and Tommy were dealing the junk....

But he still told Henry to stop. Why? Because as the head of the organization the feds considered him responsible for all of it. Why?

BECAUSE HE WAS THE F*CKING BOSS!!!

Since this twit said it wasn't a movie I decided to let the wit and wisdom of Martin Scorsese explain what should be perfectly obvious. Osama Bin Laden is the head, he's responsible for it all because he set it all in motion. Only in this movie instead of Pauly going to jail, he's out there, hold up still running the show (show=Al Queada reconstituted to pre-9/11 strength).

You don't need superpowers nimrod, a little common f*cking sense will do.
