because I don't know what to make of them, I really don't. perhaps i'm naive. i don't have all the info that LIHOP believers have.

but concerning Bush just sitting there with a blank expression on his face.....

I think he's just too ignorant and too self-centered to realize the significance of what he's just been told. Someone has to tell him. His mind is kind of a jumble at that moment. See my speculative version of Bush's thoughts in that classroom:

Bush: "Gee, this is good video, hope the TV stations use all of it. Cute kids. Gawd I'm bored. But this is good video."

Andrew Card: Mr. President, a large commercial airliner just crashed into the side of one of the World Trade Center Towers in New York City. (speculating here) There is a fire raging and it appears there will be heavy loss of life.


Bush: New York? We didn't carry New York. Liberals, huh! Selfish bastards. A fire? Well, I'll have Karl and Ari write me up a statement, something with a lot of concern and stuff. Gawd, I'm bored. But the TV stations are getting some good video this morning!"
