Tony Bennett on 9/11: “They Flew The Plane In, But We Caused It” [AUDIO]

LISTEN

Tony Bennett made controversial remarks about the September 11 terrorist attacks during a Monday interview with Howard Stern, saying the United States is to blame.

When the host asked the 85-year-old entertainer how to deal with terrorists, Bennett replied, “But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

After Stern pointed out that the 9/11 hijackers destroyed the World Trade Center, Bennett explained, “They flew the plane in, but we caused it. Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop.”

The singer, a World War II veteran who served in Germany and then became a pacifist, also claims that George W. Bush “personally” told him in 2005 that he “made a mistake” with the Iraq war.

    Wow took some guts to say, but he is right. Won’t win him any fans though, but kudos for speaking his mind.

  • Dlm

    No he is not right, in fact he is shockingly misinformed

  • Kaitly

    When did we bomb them exactly?!?! Htf did he have a conversation with gw bush and why does he wait until now 6 years later to share this alleged conversation and if Bush made a mistake why didn’t he just pull out or at least admit to it.

    Tony is in show business, the FBI, CIA top house officials are not going to call him up and ask him if he’s talked to any foreign country and what did they tell Tony!!! BS….

    He is right in a sense, if you read up on the back story of 9/11 you find out a lot of details that do put us a fault in some ways. Tony maybe should have kept his opinion to himself but i can’t say he’s dead wrong in what he said.a fault in some ways. Tony maybe should have kept his opinion to himself but i can’t say he’s dead wrong in what he said.

    maybe he’s been reading the planetary patriot? all in their on 9/11 too on who really did it. very shocking who did.

    Wise words from a sage – do you think the corporate media will pick up on what he said George W Bush told him in 2005 that going into Iraq was a mistak? George W Bush is a disgrace to the presidency & to this country. Every supreme court member who voted for George W Bush’s appointment should be impeached and charged with treason.

    Tony Bennett chose a very sensitive time to express his views on this subject. Nothing will ever excuse the atrocity that was 9/11, but it didn’t happen in a vacuum. Anti-American feeling had been building up for decades & the bombing of the World TradeCenter in 1993 gave a clear indication of that. Maybe we should have paid more attention then. We can nly hope nothing like 9/11 ever happens again.
