"It was an interesting day." - President Bush, recalling 9/11


At approximately 8:48 a.m. on the morning of September 11, 2001, the first pictures of the burning World Trade Center were broadcast on live television. The news anchors, reporters, and viewers had little idea what had happened in lower Manhattan, but there were some people who did know. By that time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon, the White House, the Secret Service, and Canada's Strategic Command all knew that three commercial airplanes had been hijacked. They knew that one plane had been flown deliberately into the World Trade Center's North Tower; a second plane was wildly off course and also heading toward Manhattan; and a third plane had abruptly turned around over Ohio and was flying back toward Washington, DC.

So why, at 9:03 a.m. - fifteen minutes after it was clear the United States was under terrorist attack - did President Bush sit down with a classroom of second-graders and begin a 20-minute pre-planned photo op? No one knows the answer to that question. In fact, no one has even asked Bush about it.

Bush's actions on September 11 have been the subject of lively debate, mostly on the internet. Details reported that day and in the week after the attacks - both the media reports and accounts given by Bush himself - have changed radically over the past 18 months. Culling hundreds of reports from newspapers, magazines, and the internet has only made finding the "truth" of what happened and when it happened more confusing. In the changed political climate after 9/11, few have dared raise challenging questions about Bush's actions. A journalist who said Bush was "flying around the country like a scared child, seeking refuge in his mother's bed after having a nightmare" and another who said Bush "skedaddled" were fired. We should have a concise record of where President Bush was throughout the day the US was attacked, but we do not.

What follows is an attempt to give the most complete account of Bush's actions - from Florida to Louisiana to Nebraska to Washington, DC.

1. "So why, at 9:03 a.m -...."

...fifteen minutes after it was clear the United States was under terrorist attack - did President Bush sit down with a classroom of second-graders and begin a 20-minute pre-planned photo op? No one knows the answer to that question. In fact, no one has even asked Bush about it.

Damn him for this treasonous act, and the Media for covering it up. :mad:

2. simple

Bush is just a figurehead for photo-ops. The real job of running the country belongs to VP Cheney, Rummy & Condi Rice.

4. Mark my words: Bush* will end up the Goat in the 9/11 tragedy

He sat in that Florida school and did nothing. He just kept on reading a book about a frikking pet goat.

He did not order as much as a pop gun to defend Washington and the Pentagon.

This is our Commander in Chief*

Someday in someway the press will have to tell the truth. So I affirm.




* AWOL for over a year while honor-bound by solemn oath to be serving with the Texas National Guard in the 1970s; defeated by a clear majority of patriotic and discerning American voters in the 2000 election; appointed to office by the "legal" system.

7. It's called dereliction of duty

and it is a criminal act and an impeachable offense.

We have GI's in Iraq who are getting court martialed for having panic attacks during a battle. Yet people think that it's okay for the President of the United States to do nothing while he knew 1000's of people were being killed at that very moment.

8. Oh my...

Bush entered the classroom at 9:03AM, about the same time as the 2nd flight hit. He was told of the 2nd flight about 9:07. He then left the room at around 9:12. Wow, a whole 5 minutes. Then he went to an adjacent room where the SS was set up and was calling around to his VP and his National Security Advisor, like a president does when something like this happens.

Did Bush know that 1000s of people were being killed? I was watching while everything was happening live, I didn't know how many people were being killed, how could Bush have known? That is just ridiculous. Sure, there must be people dying, but what could Bush do to help them?

Seriously. Obviously the NYPD and NYFD were already on the way to try and do something about the fire. What more could be done?

By 9:45AM, all air traffic in the US was ordered to be grounded, this after the 3rd plane had hit the Pentagon.

What duties was it that Bush neglected to do? What was he to have done to "save the day" exactly?

I think it's time to stop pretending that the entirety of the US government and all emergency services depend on the president... The US is not a dictatorship, the government runs itself with the president there with certain tasks to do, none of which include ordering emergency services to react to something, or anything along those lines.

So I'm interested in knowing, what exactly was Bush to have done immediately after being told of the 2nd crash that he neglected to do?

6. Samsara...

If Bush* doesn't know or suspect that he was handled that day he truly is out of the loop. What better way to let the real people orchestrating everything do what they like than to have the CIC* flying in circles over Louisiana.

The fact that the people looking for the truth have been driven underground speaks volumes about how interested the * Administration is in solving anything. This descent into soft-fascism or dictatorship-by-committee (contradictory, I know), is inherently dangerous and has to be stopped. We're supposed to be the ones that people point to with hope.

Stuff like this makes me think that the new voting machine system should be made a front page issue now, not after the next election has been fleeced.

Even the school teacher lied.
