On September 11th, 2001, after Andy Card told George W. Bush, "the nation is under attack," George, 'target #1' continued to sit in Booker Elementary School, surrounded by children, for nearly 7 minutes.

"Not knowing what to do -- with no one telling him what to do -- and no Secret Service rushing in to take him to safety, Mr. Bush just sat there and continued to read 'My Pet Goat' to the children." -- Michael Moore

This needs to be played on every network over and over again.

4. What needs to be played on every network

over and over again, is what a convenient boogeyman they came up w/as The perp. He was a man they knew was very ill. A member of their own CIA had seen him in an American hospital in Dubai in July 2001. He was there for dialysis. (Kinda hard to get that type of treatment in a cave.)

They knew he had been given a short time to live. What better choice could they have made? Someone dying (dead) man that could be resurrected ala Weekend at Bernie's via fake videos.

But since right before the presidential election in 2004, his videos seemed to simply stop.

I wonder why.

3. "The Pet Goat"

Sorry, I couldn't resist.:blush:

For the sake of avoiding "The Dungeon", I'll say no more.

5. Why don't the American people get it?

I honestly don't understand why they excused this man's behavior. What the hell?? Bush's whole 9-11-01 was filled with weirdness.

Personally, I'm a LIHOP and I think it was probably discussed in an internal meeting but perhaps GWB wasn't in attendance. I also suspect that despite LIHOP, it got out of hand and went well beyond what they had considered as possible. Kinda like a kid playing with matches who accidentally sets fire to his parents home.

Anyway, it is a sad day for all of us. I just don't understand why the American people haven't been outraged by this guy's presidency. I really, really don't get it. Can someone explain without invoking MIHOP which I don't subscribe to?

And will I be dismissed as a "truth-er" if I even bring up this point?

7. They tolled bells today at the time the first airplane struck

I was hoping for a memorial reading of "My Pet Goat". I'm thinking I'll buy a copy and send it to him to use next year.

8. Of course, he's an idiot. But why didn't the SS clear him out of there?

The country was under attack. They are trained to protect the President. That's what they do. The fact that he just sat there -- and then let him -- is very curious. Very curious indeed.

9. I wish Moore's film had gone further...

I feel that his take on Bush's response gives the impression that he (and the Neo-Clowns who pull the strings)was simply inept and had 'gone fishin' instead of reading and taking seriously the report on Bin Laden's threat (with its implausibly convenient title). This just continues the myth of simple negligence instead of something far more sinister. Why do so many so-called free-thinkers discard all the obvious evidence of an inside job and regard those of us who think otherwise as 'nut jobs,' etc.?
