To be fair, he's speaking about ongoing terrorist plots after 9-11 not about 9-11 itself. He's reading from a piece of paper. The continued plots were to blow up more buildings with the intention of trapping people on the upper floors.
I'm not defending this POS Bush at all. I believe he was a puppet and that Cheney was the one truly in charge and Bush was fully aware of what the CIA was doing/had done and continue to do. So these alleged "plots" were never really going to happen because for them to take place the CIA would have to allow it to and they already at that point had the hearts and minds of America and were free to romp around in the Middle East with carte blanche and at the same time strip us of our freedoms under the guise of "alleged terrorist threats."
Here's a much longer clip. We shouldn't be so quick to take an edited version from Twitter as fact or a reimagining of what was actually said. It's a slippery slope and makes us look bad.

Thanks for saving me the time to type this. I feel like I didn't even have to watch a longer clip to know he wasn't talking about 9/11. He is justifying the post 9/11 intelligence gathering techniques given ongoing terrorist threats including explosives planted in buildings.
Yes. And you know, at the time, we all used this as justification for the Patriot Act. But an old hippie liberal I knew at the time (and she is a Jew), was upset with GWB because of the Patriot Act. It’s one of the first things that woke me up. Unfortunately, Obama’s support for it put all the liberals to sleep. They got swept up into Leftism (which is Progressivism which is actually ill-liberal). We often justify what “our guy” does without evaluating the issue.
Thank you, ye i remember vaguely Bush wasn't talking about 9/11 when he said "explosives".
