Just one of many State of the Union lies, following in the tradition of the
2003 yellowcake fraud, Bush commits an impeachable offense by knowingly
lying to the American people

A claim made by President Bush in his State of the Union speech last night,
that an attack on an L.A. skyscraper had been averted, was universally
debunked as a hoax by Mayors, CIA, FBI and NSA personnel and counter-terror
experts nearly a year ago when it first surfaced. By regurgitating this
fraud, Bush has committed an impeachable offense by knowingly lying to the
American people.
Bush's address was punctuated with deception, horse hockey and
propagandistic drivel throughout, again reinforcing a characteristic that
was born in 2003 when Bush told the nation that Iraq had sought to buy
uranium from Niger , a claim the CIA had informed the administration was
based on falsified documents ten months before it was included in the
speech.
Amidst the cacophony of bullshit came this belter.
"We stopped an al Qaeda plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the tallest
building on the West Coast."
According to numerous public officials, terror experts and intelligence
personnel, this is simply not true.
Bush's is referring to an announcement made on February 9th last year in
which he made the claim that an Al-Qaeda plan to fly a plane into the LA
Library Tower was thwarted in 2002. The release of the news that the plot
had been prevented by means of tapping terrorist suspect's phones was
politically timed to coincide with the start of legal hearings on the Bush
administration's domestic eavesdropping program.
Fox "News," the White House's PR mouthpiece, immediately began showing
footage from the movie Independence Day, in which the famous tower is
destroyed.
Hours after the announcement, the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio
Villaraigosa, went public with comments of his absolute bewilderment
concerning the alleged plot.
"I'm amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV
and not inform us of these details through the appropriate channels," the
mayor said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I don't expect a call
from the president - but somebody."
The day after the announcement, twenty three separate intelligence experts,
all with either CIA, FBI, NSA or military credentials, both in and out of
service, angrily disputed Bush's remarks about the alleged L.A. plot, with
one going as far as saying that the President was "full of shit."
Another described the claims as "worthless intel that was discarded long
ago."

A New York Times story cited "several counter-terrorism officials" as saying
that "the plot never progressed past the planning stages.... 'To take that
and make it into a disrupted plot is just ludicrous,' said one senior FBI
official."
The New York Daily News cited another senior counterterrorism official who
said: "There was no definitive plot. It never materialized or got past the
thought stage."
The Washington Post also dismissed the alleged plot as nothing more than
talk, noting that no actual attack plan had been thwarted.
The LA attack plot arose from the same discredited informant who said that
Washington and New York financial institutions were being targeted, which
led the White House to raise the terror alert right as the 2004 election
campaign was beginning.
"The President has cheapened the entire intelligence community by dragging
us into his fantasy world," said a veteran field operative of the Central
Intelligence Agency. "He is basing this absurd claim on the same discredited
informant who told us Al Qaeda would attack selected financial institutions
in New York and Washington."
In June 2004 John Pistole, the FBI's counterterrorism director, said he was
"not sure what [the CIA] was referring to," after a CIA counterterrorism
official who testified under the alias "Ted Davis" said that the US had
prevented aviation attacks against the east and west coast.
Questions were raised at the White House press briefing as to the noticeably
convenient announcement of a four year old alleged foiled plot in relation
to the furore about domestic spying.
"But is it just a coincidence? You had February 6th circled on the calendar
for the hearings, the NSA hearings. Is it just a pure coincidence that this
comes out today?" asked one journalist.
"Scott, I wanted to just ask a follow-up about the LA plot. Is there
something missing from this story, a practical application, a few facts?
Because if you want to commandeer a plane and fly it into a tower, if you
used shoe bombs, wouldn't you blow off the cockpit? Or is there something
missing from this story?" asked another.
There was indeed a great deal missing from this story in that it was nothing
more than hot air manufactured by the Bush administration at the most
politically expedient time, a psychological fraud unleashed on the public in
order to silence critics of the illegal NSA surveillance spying program.
Bush has again committed the impeachable offense of knowingly lying to the
American people in regurgitating the debunked plot in last night's State of
the Union address.
