French official suggested Bush was behind September 11

PARIS (Reuters) - A senior French politician, now a minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government, suggested last year that U.S. President George W. Bush might have been behind the September 11, 2001 attacks, according to a website.

The www.ReOpen911.info website, which promotes September 11 conspiracy theories, has posted a video clip of French Housing Minister Christine Boutin appearing to question that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda group orchestrated the attacks. Boutin's office sought to play down the remarks.

Asked in an interview last November, before she became minister, whether she thought Bush might be behind the attacks, Boutin says: "I think it is possible. I think it is possible."

Boutin backs her assertion by pointing to the large number of people who visit websites that challenge the official line over the September 11 strikes against U.S. cities.

"I know that the websites that speak of this problem are websites that have the highest number of visits ... And I tell myself that this expression of the masses and of the people cannot be without any truth."

Boutin's office sought to play down the remarks, saying that later in the same interview she says: "I'm not telling you that I adhere to that position." This comment does not appear on the video clip on ReOpen911.

Numerous other websites have also posted the clip in recent days and the story has started to seep into the mainstream media.

because even the MSM with their venal hatred of Bush doesn't go there with 9/11 U.S. plots.

What you say does indeed happen most of the time. At least for now. Note that the story behind this thread comes to us courtesy of an MSM institution named Reuters.

As an example, I have 4 grown adult kids in the 20's. All of them have become very wary of what gets passed off as news

Perhaps that's more attributable to their DAD's EXAMPLE than it is representative of typical 20-somethings.

The 20-somethings I've seen seem pretty damn gullible about what gets passed off onto them.

Life demands a certain level of critical thinking. Some people deride the Inet with a sarcastic rejoinder that “I know it’s true because I read it on the Inet.” Fair enough. However that particular sarcasm invites a corollary “I know it’s true because I read it in MSM.”

Conspiracy theory is very popular, which proves by consensus the conspiracies are all true, especially Global Warming.

Republicans are just NOT CLEVER or too spineless to attack their enemy.

There are wonderful opportunites to use POLLS (the media and the democrats used skewed ones against us CONSTANTLY).

A poll of registered democrats or a poll of those identifying themselves democrat showed:

??% believe that the Bush Administration knew abou and let 9/11 happen

??% believe that 9/11 was the work of the Bush Administration. etc, etc, etc.

Let’s make big news out of THESE polls and see how many sane people who vote democrat would like to be aligned with what I’m sure will be a shockingly high number of lunatics who vote democrat.

Slack jawed mouth breathing French imbecile

She also doesn't understand the internet all that well, otherwise she'd think this thread was the preponderance of American thought on her existence.

And don't post her "chick pick" again!

I would love to see the Dems start impeachment hearings because “Bush knew”. It would be the end of the Dem Party.
