51. How Bu$h, Rumsfeld and Myers reacted to the attacks
Edited on Fri Nov-21-03 04:30 PM by DoYouEverWonder
or rather didn't react!

In the event of a national emergency these are the three men in charge. They are very specific procedures that they are supposed to follow during a NE. As soon as 4 airplanes went off course and the FAA knew, then these three would have been notified. As soon as the first plane hit the WTC all 3 knew that a major attack was under way.

So under the circumstances what did they do? Bu$h sat in an elementary school class reading a book and then went and prepared to make a statement.

Rumsfled was in a meeting in a very secure part of the Pentagon with Wolfowitz and others. When they were told that the WTC was hit, they did nothing. Instead they continued with their meeting until the Pentagon was hit.

General Myers, well I'm not sure what the heck Myers was really doing. He's contradicted himself numerous times.


So if you believe that actions speak louder than words, I think each one of these men should be on trial for crimes against humanity just for their inaction on that morning. The scary part is that once you realize that these men are capable of ignoring the imminent death of 1000's of Americans in order to advance their cause, then you will realize that they are capable of even greater horrors.
