Bush-Obama 9/11 Coverup Paved Way for Rise of ISIS
by Edward Spannaus
Should Congress force the release of the classified 28 pages from the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks, it would blow apart the British-Saudi war drive, and lay bare the venal criminality of the corrupt officials in the U.S. government who have carried out the coverup—ranging from George Bush to Barack Obama.
Congressional Press Conference: Release the Secret 28 Pages of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry Report!
The transcript of the press conference, demanding release of the suppressed pages of the 2002 Joint Congressional Inquiry report. Chairing the event, Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) said, “I don’t know how the Senate can say no to these families that are standing here today, and the families that are not here today. With 9/11 coming about on Thursday, there would be no other way to bring a little bit of relief to the heartache of these families than for President Obama to announce that he is going to declassify the 28 pages.”
