Rep. Alan Grayson On The ‘Ground Zero Mosque’: Bush Allowed 9/11 To Happen

video
» 108 comments

Florida Congressman Alan Grayson is very insulted in the name of the families of 9/11 victims. Except he’s not worrying so much about the “athletic center” replacing the old Burlington Coat Factor a few blocks from Ground Zero– he’s still angry that George W. Bush allowed the 9/11 attacks to take place.

Rep. Grayson isn’t exactly the type to tone down any argument, but the current emotional levels of the “Ground Zero Mosque” debate are pretty hard to top, even for him. Still, after a lengthy explanation of things that are more important than the mosque (America’s national life expectancy is “just below Albania,” no one knows how to do any math), Grayson found a way: blaming the terror attacks on September 11, 2001 on President Bush:

“If we are going to talk about 9/11, why don’t we talk about how not so much the people who died on 9/11 were disgraced by the possibility of an Islamic athletic center several blocks away; how about the fact that they were disgraced by a president who let it happen? Who went on vacation for the entire month of August after he was warned in writing that Osama bin Laden was actually finding targets in NYC and learning how to take these planes and do terrible things with them? The thing itself said ‘hijacking’ and they did nothing about it.”

Grayson continues in this vein, arguing the actual 9/11 terror attacks themselves rather than the proposed Islamic community center, with Ed Show substitute host Cenk Uygur responding to the comments with his own assessment of what the Bush administration did.

    I do not think Bush wanted 9/11 to occur but he was not intelligent enough to stop 9/11 as a consequence from the poor judgment of the Supreme Court. I truly believe if Gore was President 9/11 would have not occurred.

    The attacks you mention happen while Gore was in office as well meaning he gained experience. Experience most likely would have led to the failure of 9/11 from a President Gore due to his superior mind set.

  • notsofast

    Ah, it doesn’t get any better for Barry- this follows him wherever he goes:

    President Obama, who took a plunge in the Gulf last week to show Americans it was safe to swim the oil spill-plagued area, arrived on this supposedly pristine island yesterday in the midst of a rash of bacteria-induced beach closings.

    Portions of Tisbury Great Pond, the salt-water lagoon fronting the first family’s vacation estate Blue Heron Farm, were closed earlier this week due to high levels of enterococci, an indicator that the water is contaminated with fecal bacteria. Ew.

  • lanquihue

    Grayson is like some of the liberals on Mediaite’s comment threads. He wants to get in and mix it up with adults, but he knows that since he can’t match wits, he’ll resort to idiocy for the sole purpose of seeing his name and picture on a news site.

    9/11 shouldn’t have happened because Bin Laden should have already been dead. The fact is, both administrations share responsibility for 9/11. However, Grayson is a clown. He should go away and never come back.

    You know, what I’ve noticed about these muslims is they never seem to have a problem with legal limitations placed on non-muslims in lands where muslims are dominant. When’s the last time you’ve heard an American muslims arguing for religious freedom for non-muslims in Saudi Arabia? It would be nice to hear this imam make a public call for all muslims to take the streets and demand equality for non-muslims in Saudi Arabia. I won’t hold my breath. “Cordoba” which symbolizes for muslims the ideal state of relations between muslims and non-muslims recalls a time in which non-muslims were second-class citizens who had submitted to the dominance of islamic law. That they regard “Cordoba” as a fitting title for their new “islamic center” is telling in my opinion.

    It’s easy for them to demand absolute religious equality in lands where islam is a minority religion. Let’s see them demand it for non-islamic religions in lands where islam is dominant.

  • notsofast

    republicanblack said:

    Yes, telling a group that preaches that it wants to build a bridge between it and the rest of America that building a center at that location is insensitive to those who died there and would exacerbate ill will is certainly the equivalent of flying planes into buildings and killing 3000 people.

    Yes- that is such a valid analogy!

    Rolls eyes in disbelief.

  • TfT

    And how will Chuck Todd (who does “real journalism” like his gal pal Andrea Mitchell {a completely laughable statement on behalf of Todd]) come to the defense of Grayson????

    Will he reach into something so absurd as his latest protective comment on hehimselftheone. In discussing Obama’s “bitter clinger” comment, Todd said this:

    “According to Todd [quoting Paul Begala], Obama is his mother’s son, and like the anthropologist she was, he was simply offering an anthropological analysis of the plight of those poor rural Pennsylvanians”. (h/t newsbusters).

    So, MSNBC (the place for propaganda) claims that Obama didn’t mean to demean those poor Pennsylvanians.

    Yup, that’s “real journalism” Chuck, fer sure, uh huh….you got it dude.

    Offering a strictly objective analysis, if I were an exec at MSNBC, I’d fire Shultz and replace him with Ugyar. In my opinion, Shultz is the worst–so bad I actually feel sorry for him. And at least with Ugyar, they’ll have a guy on the payroll not only named “Cenk” but named “Ugyar” too–whom they can point to when they are accused of racial hypocrisy every time they criticize this or that racial aspect of the right/tea party/Fox News.

    9/11 Truther …. Me? Afraid not. I’m certain W and his Administration would have been to inept to pull it off. The truth of 9/11. An attack had been in the planning stages. Condi Rice was advised of a forthcoming attack using planes, but without dates, times or places. She chose not ignore it. The attack happened. Mose of the attackers were Saudis. W was reading a nursery school book to some elementary school children. He quickly ran off and flew around to various holes in which to hide as members of the Saudi Royal Family were flown out of the US. Then, we attacked Afghanistan which was sheltering the mastermind, Bin Laden. The Administration allowed Bin Laden to escape. Then, we invaded and occupied Iraq, a country which had no role in 9/11. The invasion went reasonably well. FOX reported WMD’s had been found. That was a lie, and FOX slinked away from the story. The occupation went dreadfully. Poorly planned. Inadequate troops. The commanders’ repeated requests for more trrops were denied. FInally, W, over the objections of Dick and Donnie, sent more troops. Matters improved. President Obama campaigned on the promise to withdraw troops. He kept his promise. The troops withdrew this week. MSNBC, CNN and other new networks carried the story. FOX had O’Hannity on to pump up O’Rove’s deflated ego, O’Reilly to interview a body lnaguage specialist and O’Van Susteren riding around on a boat in Alaska. That is the truth about 9/11. The W Adminsitration did not plan not execute the attack. It merely ignored it.

    Feel better? Four, count em, four exclams. How would you know these things, for sure? Just because a particular diplomacy did not work out does not mean that the decision was faulty. Maybe you are not understanding the diplomacy. We fought Korea and VIet Nam according to the Truman Doctrine, which is the strategy of containment. Neither war was, or could be won, without escalating, and significantly heating up, the cold war. A few years later, and on an on going basis, we won the cold war, that is frickin reality, so how can anyone say that the Truman Doctrine, a winner in the cold war, was not fully justified by the heroic and fully successful, war of containment that was Korea and Viet Nam? After Viet Nam, a few additional countries eventually became red, but there were not dominos falling because we had the courage to stand in the gap with resolve and heart. And we were justified when the iron curtain fell, and our enemies have become friends, or at least friends in the making. This is a far safer world because of America’s committment to protecting freedom in Korea, Viet Nam, and now, in my opinion, in Iraq.

    Not at all shocking since 61% of Democrats aren’t sure Bush didn’t know about 9/11 beforehand while 35% believe absolutely Bush knew about it.

  • TeaBagALibby

    RRK, after all of you posts I now see that you do not have an original thought in your body. You just summarized Fahrenheit 9/11 and tried to pass it off as your own coherent thoughts. Referencing Michael Moore is like thinking JFK is an accurate depiction of that tragic day.

    MSNBC seems determined to help out the Republicans during this election season. First they fill up their shows with endless promotion of the intensely unpopular Ground Zero mosque. Then they devote most of an evening to celebrating the success of the Bush surge and stabilization in Iraq. And now they give the microphone to Alan Grayson, who is always a walking-and-talking advertisement for why the Democrats can’t be trusted with the reins of power. As if it isn’t embarrassing enough to the Left to have Keith Olbermann on TV every evening….

    That is the truth about 9/11. The W Adminsitration did not plan not execute the attack. It merely ignored it.

    Sounds like a Truther to me cause plenty of Wing-Nuts believe that. But of course you have NO proof, never did never will. Because if we go along those lines then one has to say Bill Clinton ignored it. In fact a case can be better made against Clinton than Bush.

    Where as WTC was attacked on 9-11-01 & 2-26-1993 Both were during transitional years of the Presidency.

    Bush did respond by going after who did it, what did Clinton do? Clinton did nothing, nada, zip. Or as you said IGNORED IT. Or maybe I missed it when Dee Dee Myers came out and said it was a local issue?

    Now if you want to go the route that Bush knew and did nothing that makes you a truther, which coming from an Oliver Crangle Staker type as yourself, does not surprise in the least bit. BTW isn’t it time for you to go listen to Alex Jones?

The only thing AAMSNBC has to do now is give Randi Rhoades & Mike Malloy a show. Why not? These two are on more radio stations then Cenk ever was. (but not that many)

    I’ve just seen MSNBC’s rating numbers from yesterday. They still look ugly. It looks like MSNBC dug itself in a hole by reporting on a successful US military involvement that other day. They should realize that their core base of loyal viewers are unhappy with the success stabilization of Iraq following the Bush surge. The network needs to go back to its core strengths: (1) character attacks against conservatives, (2) playing the race card, and (3) Keith Olbermann having a meltdown on camera.

    NBC averages about 7 million viewers a night for its evening news, together with maybe a half million more who watch MSNBC. How does that compare to the 2.5 million FOX News viewers? Very favorably, in fact. And on the one hand you are saying that KO is melting down, while Glenn Bleck is talking about Charles Dawin being the father of racism.

    It’s a stupid comparison, Val. Legacy broadcasters had a fifty year head start on cable. So these kinds of comparisons are meaningless, as everyone knows. The more revealing statistic is that NBC News’s audience has been steadily falling and is probably around half of what it once was. Meanwhile, Fox has been growing rapidly. And if you give Fox time, it will eventually surpass even the broadcast news networks, because it offers a superior product. That will probably take another 4-5 years. Maybe faster if NBC continues to show such obvious bias and contempt for viewers.

    Here are some real numbers for you, Val (although I know you avoid facts the way Dracula avoids sunlight):

    Since 1980, nightly news viewership for the Big Three networks has fallen by some 25 million, or 48%. And check out the chart, which is very revealing:

    This tells you why Fox will eventually surpass the network news agencies. They are in a long term secular decline, and have no clue how to reverse it. Meanwhile Fox is constantly growing its audience.

    Well, why do you keep mentioning FOX’s great ratings if you do not also invite the inclusion of a little “perspective” on that? FOX is much more influencial than its 2 or 3 million viewers indicate, however. But to call it a superior product, I am wondering why you say that. It is simply a product that appeals to certain viewers and not others, like Sponge Bob, professional wrestlying and every other program.

    Did he really say that Bush was “behind 911″? Is he hooked up with the “truther” movement? Or was he saying that Bush was negligent in not preventing the attack? Big difference.

    He is not a “truther”, that is, he does not believe that the government was behind the 911 bombing. Rather, he believes that the Bush administration was negligent in not responding to the intelligence we had which indicated that an attack was imminent.

  • murphy0071

    Why not throw out the United States Constitution, that is exactly what the right wants. Muslims, who already have a mosque nearby, have the legal right to build where they want. They will be taking a shame of NY building and making it into a place for Muslims and others to contemplate religious issues and divisiveness. Why doesn’t the right wing and New Yorkers with twats for brains believe in the right of any religious organization to built a house or worship or a recreational center, or whatever, where ever they want? As if the Muslim religion had anything to do with 9/11 whether Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, etc., just because some insane terrorists use a religion as their excuse does not mean the religion itself is to be excoriated. Isn’t America wonderful, you don’t have to believe in the Constitution just those miscreants on the right.

    The reason 9/11 happened is that private For profit co. were in charge of airport security that day, and they went for the cheapest contract they could get. The Security Co. who won the contract in order to make money on the contract hired the cheapest labor they could find. that is why before 9/11 they hired the retired and minimum wage workers. who let through ALL the terrorist with knives and fake explosives.

    At the time of the attacks, the general public did not pass through screenings and only sporadic searches were done on “passengers of interest.” At that time, I was a sworn officer (a term you might find interesting to look up), in the state of Florida, and I routinely packed a firearm in my luggage but I sometimes carried it in a shoulder rig. It was truly a different world before 11 September 2001; we learned a harsh lesson for all our niaivete’. Now, everyone hates to fly anywhere because of the hassle that was caused by the Islamoterrorists.

    As for airport security then and now, I can tell you that TSA is not generally staffed with what I’d describe as mental giants, but at least they’re not like the UK, who outsources its airport security to a company in India. Thus far, both the TSA and the security firm for the UK has done a fair-to-middling job.

    THE WTC CRASHES COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED & FLYING CAN BE MADE
    SAFER

     

         Sy Levine, former Chief Engineer of
    Northrop’s Electronic System’s Division, work was featured in the BBC
    television show the “THE BOX”. This BBC Channel 4 video, which gave
    the solution to the aviation fatality problem, was never broadcast in prime
    time in the US.  Basically, in this day and age, the
    information going to the flight data recorder, commonly referred to as the
    black box, should be sent to the ground, via radio, and utilized in real-time
    to prevent most fatal accidents.  We do
    this for our astronauts and it should be done for our passengers aboard
    commercial aircraft.  Many of our fatal
    accidents are the direct result of an information system that is inadequate, cumbersome
    and prone to verbal errors of omission and commission. Neither the air traffic
    controller nor the flight crew has all of the necessary information required to
    prevent an accident and each operate with a vague system that is too verbal and
    untimely.  For example, information such
    as aircraft brake status which is essential to a ground controller for the
    prevention of runway incursions and aircraft fuel remaining status to prevent
    fuel depletion crashes are locked away in the flight recorder. Only by verbal
    communication can the controller get some estimate of the status.  By radioing the data going to the recorder,
    these status indicators can be automated and timely presented to the
    controllers in a visual system such as the low fuel warning light/icon on a
    car. It is essential for the reduction of aviation fatalities that the
    information going to the data recorders be radioed to the ground and utilized
    in real-time.  The information is also
    critical to finding if an aircraft deviated from its flight plan anywhere in
    the world.  Commercial aircraft position
    and altitude should be instantly available and automatically monitored not only
    for timely search and rescue in the advent of crash but also for anomalous behavior
    during flight to prevent crashes. 
    Because of the present lack of aircraft data the whole field of expert
    systems and automation has been seriously compromised in commercial
    aviation.  This lack of automation has
    decreased flight safety and has increased travel costs.

     

         Aircraft that are experiencing serious flight deviations should
    be safely landed automatically at an airfield/airport that minimizes both
    aircraft and ground fatalities.  The
    remote piloting vehicle (RPV) technology has been with us for over a decade and
    is being used by our military in reconnaissance aircraft and in a new program
    with DARPA (the inventors of the internet) for pilot-less fighter
    aircraft.  Radioing the flight recorder
    data to the ground enables the RPV technology to be utilized to safely land a
    commercial airliner. The remote pilot, would be an aircraft specific, certified
    pilot located in a secure ground location and a member of an Emergency Response
    Team (ERT); It should be noted due to the present aviation data vacuum, no such
    team presently exists. The team would be trained to timely communicate with air
    traffic control, fire, coast guard, security, military and rescue personnel as
    well as with the most qualified experts, with simulation capability, in
    handling an aircraft’s problems before they become fatal accidents.  The remote pilot would radio up commands to
    the instrument landing system/autopilot to bring the aircraft to a safe
    landing.  This technology would have
    prevented all of the September 11th ground fatalities, most if not
    all of the aircraft fatalities and the WTC. 
    It is not only critical for preventing fatalities due to terrorism in
    the sky but it is also critical for preventing fatalities due to a myriad of
    aircraft problems, such as the 1999 aircraft decompression problem that killed
    golfer Payne Stewart.

     

        On
    11/2000, a year prior to 9/11, in New
    York, Levine gave a talk on this very subject at the
    International Aviation Safety Association. In his talk he discussed why, the
    aviation industry’s fear of liability based on the data availability and their
    fears of automation leading to reductions in the work place, have seriously
    compromised our national security and increased aviation related fatalities.  Everyone knew a 9/11 hijacking was possible known
    though out the world.  Hijacking was
    listed as one of the major causes of air fatalities.  The hijackers also knew that the US wasn’t
    protecting against this threat and took advantage of this hole in our safety
    system.  The FAA, which had metal
    detectors at their central office in Washington,
    wasn’t putting them at terminals. There wasn’t any legitimate reason for not
    having an automated system in place so that when a hijacking occurred the
    plane, via its autopilot, would be directed out of harms way and landed safely
    at a secure airport. The technology was there but due to political PAC money it
    wasn’t mandated to be used.  The FAA
    allowed those people to die needlessly. Needless to say the neither the head of
    the FAA, Dot or NTSB (all Bush’s political appointees lost their job because of
    9/11 even though it was their responsibility to protect the public from known fatal
    threats.  The people and the nations
    suffered deeply because of this political blunder. In fact several of the heads
    of these critical agencies had little if any aviation experience. So it was
    like Katrina again.

     

    By automating the system we can
    saves lives and save billions of dollars annually on needless airport and runway
    expansion programs, downed aircraft, controller costs, etc.  All of these high cost areas are driven by
    the present system that is too verbal and inefficiently uses the ground
    facilities and our airspace. Automating the data can substantially expand our
    air space and make our existing ground facilities more than adequate. By the
    utilization of the flight data recorder information in real-time we can reduce
    the cost of flying, minimize delays, fly safer, and make our nation secure. Please
