We know Putin warned Bush two days before the attack: https://www.rt.com/news/468133-putin-warned-bush-911/
I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility to suggest that someone in the Bush administration might have had an idea, and still let it happen (after all, it made a convenient rationale for wars in the Middle East), and in that sense one might say "Bush did 9/11".
However, I don't think the U.S. government was actually directly responsible though.
Wow that's huge, why didn't George do anything?
Think about the legacy of 9/11 — Bush's popularity skyrocketed (rally around the flag effect), they launched decades-long wars in the Middle East, surveillance programs (NSA, TSA, etc.) expanded to ordinary Americans on a massive scale (e.g. USA PATRIOT Act, REAL ID Act), etc.
It did a lot for the Bush administration, and may have been responsible for his 2004 re-election.
