But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

  9. Bro…can’t help but think he knew what was about to come in the next 30-50 years….and they all said, f it.

    Spooky.

    His father and him both give body language of knowing something big asf.

    “I all want you to know…..”

  10. All this took place, just because of one person!! and that was Bush. If it was some other president this would never have happened. Sad😪😪

  11. Bush and Cheney made a fortune 💰 off of 9/11 🇺🇲

  12. It was a conspiracy. Bush knew all about it. The government set it up
    He did it fir his daddy. Wake up people.

  13. How many more needlessly American lives was Bush responsible for though.

  14. And his moment of glory was snatched by poor decision making

  15. Bush was smiling because he knew he officially had an excuse to wage two illegal wars abroad.

  16. Can anyone tell me why he seams so happy and even smiling?

  17. 🙏🏼 Truly, I sympathize the lives lost from 911 Terrorists attacks. It's a great injustice for humankind. May their souls rest in peace.
    ⚖️ However, invading other Nations, i.e., Iraq, killing thousands of Iraqis, destroying their own heritage, hunting them and humiliating them through live coverages as if they're the terrorists state was also a great injustice to humanity. This at the expense of manufactured disinformation and propaganda about Iraq's hidden nuclear warfare danger and justification for 911 attacks, whose "Head*& revealed at the time qas in Saudi Arabia hiding and not in Iraq.

    This is why, it is a double standard to just focus our condemnation against now with Putin invading Ukraine or providing Wagner's to Syrian Government. Afterall, superpower nations like the USA, Russia, France, China, UK… are doing these horrifying 'imperialism" for so long for black gold aka oil, precious stones, minerals and control of resources. When one invaded, colonized and destroyed a sovereign nation, one of the generational effects amongst local Citizens are resentment, hatred to insurgencies. For many,
    Imperialistic Colonizers and Invaders, labelled this is a rich breeding grounds for "'terrorism" & cry injustice when it reached their homeland.

    The United Nations is truly a failure. It appears now as to exists to cater the permanent member states especially the USA, Russia, China, France whims and can do nothing to stop their continuing carnage against humanity for the sake of their own Nation's wealth ans standard of living while exiting other Countries in destructions, deaths and poverty.

  18. Yeah it bush, cheney to cartel military indusyrial complex their so call war of a lie.

  19. Not a Republican, but I was proud of the way he handled this as a President…

  20. Another great hero like Rudolph.

  21. Would of been nice if the president was there instead of some other country rabbling on about nothing thats helping americans …..

  22. GW had no ability to focus which led to the failure to apprehend bin Laden in Tora Bora, December 2001.

  23. Literally standing in his own crime site, that’s America for ya👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

  24. In fairness, hindsight it usually 20, 20, and this was a national tragedy. If we could allow our response to september 11, 2001 to instuct our sensibilities in the future it might serve as a deterrent to an incoherent rush to war. Bless the victims. May god bless america.

  25. Wake up we know what happened the day of and days after. What you dont know is what whent on days and weeks before….

  26. Man, I wish we had a President like that on 9/11 today.

  27. Sad thing about that tragedy is that it took a act of terror to bring us closer together as a nation of equals. Then right-wing media tore us apart again in 7 years.

  28. What's different between Bush's invasion of the Middle East and Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

  29. Smiling while addressing a grieving nation! That says a lot.

  30. The rest of the world disapproves of this message.

  31. I wonder what Biden would say lol

  32. “The invasion of Iraq was neither in self defense against armed attack, nor sanctioned by the UN Security Council authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the Crime of War of Aggression” International Commission of Jurists in Geneva….UN Secretary General Kofi Annan declares the US invasion of Iraq illegal on Sept 15,2004.

  33. Ground zero caused by YOU BUSH! 😡

  34. I’m crying 😿 🇺🇸🇺🇸😇🙏❤️😞

  35. And launched an illegal and totally unjustified invasion into Iraq even though almost all the hijackers were Saudi born. He was a war criminal along with Cheney and should be in prison

  36. This was when Bush jumped the shark. All downhill from here.

  37. If this was today, Biden would be up there apologizing and blaming America
