Enough With the 9/11 Myths!

This site does an excellent job of shooting down the innumerable preposterous stories being circulated by various conspiracy nutjobs about the 9/11 attacks. A lot of the so-called "experts" on the 9/11 attacks are simply hysterical shills and hacks, or people who are inclined to see conspiracies everywhere. This site is aimed squarely at these "experts".
In early 2001 a commission headed by Gary Hart warned that we were vulnerable to a huge terrorist strike. It was ignored.
In August 2001 George W. Bush received a Presidential Daily Briefing entitled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike the U.S." He told the person presenting it, who urged him to take action: "OK, you've covered your ass." (Ron Suskind) Bush then went on a five week vacation.
On 9/11 itself, Bush sat there like a stunned idiot for seven minutes while the United States was under attack. He later fled across the entire country to hide himself. Cheney had to take charge on the ground.
Later, Bush fought tooth and nail to stop the 9/11 Commission from being formed.
Those are the real scandals associated with 9/11. Not all this other crap. Let's focus on what matters here.
