Truth About 9/11 Would Take Down the US as a Global Empire: Dr. Kevin Barrett

Truth About 9/11 Would Take Down the US as a Global Empire: Dr. Kevin Barrett

Tue Oct 20, 2015

The truth about the September 11, 2001 terror attacks would not only destabilize the American political system but it would also take down the US as a global empire, an American scholar says.

Dr. Kevin Barrett, a founding member of the Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Tuesday, while commenting on the ongoing feud between Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Jeb Bush over the 9/11 attacks.

On Friday, Trump blamed former US President George W. Bush for the September 11, 2001 attacks. On Sunday, Trump said that if he had been president in 2001, his immigration policy would have kept al-Qaeda terrorists from attacking the US.

In response, Bush said his brother, George W. Bush, is not responsible for the 9/11 attacks. "Look, my brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do.”

"He united the country," Bush told CNN. "He organized our country, and he kept us safe. And there's no denying that. The great majority of Americans believe that."

Bush deserves blame for 9/11

Dr. Barrett said everyone in the United States believes that George W. Bush deserves blame for the September 11, 2001 attacks.

“Ever since 9/11, many Americans, between one-third in some polls who say that the US government under Bush perpetrated the 9/11 attacks or intentionally let them happen in order to trigger war in the Middle East, and up to 90 percent of Americans in other polls, who say that they don’t really believe or fully believe the official story of 9/11, this issue has been a smoldering barrel of political dynamite, “he said. “And now it’s smoldering a little bit harder, and it might just go off.”
