I'm WITH BUSH!!! Let Us All REMEMBER 9/11!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beetwasher]

President Bush reading "My Pet Goat" while a second plane was heading to smash into the WTC and also one was heading towards the Pentagon and one was crashing over PA. Already, hundreds were dead from the first plane slamming into the WTC. This is your leader in action during the worst terror attack in the nations history, and he was aware of it at the time he was reading, and this is what he chose to do.

1. Will do!

:rofl:

[ChowChowChow]

2. There it is!

Says it all.

[jeff30997]

3. Yep.That's how I remember it.

And the Chimp flying around the country like the coward he is.

4. I definitely remember Bush doing nothing about it!

[Dogmudgeon]

6. I remember 9-11

And that's just one of the many reasons (although it's a big one) why I loathe all things Bush.

To think, that his acolytes are complaining that Cindy Sheehan is "exploiting" her dead son for political gain. If there was this much irony in a book of fiction, it would be panned, slammed, and shamed for years -- even more than Newt Gingrich's 1945.

--p!

10. I wish we had pictures of him tossing the Hart-Rudman report in the trash

along with the July and August PDB's.

[blm]

27. 1/30/2001 - Bush refuses to read HartRudman Report on Global Terror

Gore would have read it by Jan 31, 2001, and pushed its urgent measures for Homeland Security through by the spring.

Even with a Republican congress, because the HartRudman report had GOP heavyweights like Warren Rudman and Newt Gingrich as part of the team compiling the report for two and a half years.

It was the LEAST partisan report to ever come out of any administration.

11. The fact that Bush wasted 27 minutes that day - not only the seven minutes

Bush blew it the morning of 9/11

By BILL MAHER


John Kerry has waded into an issue raised by Michael Moore in his film "Fahrenheit 9/11," namely, President Bush's sitting for seven minutes in a Florida classroom after being told "the country is under attack." Republicans are waxing indignant, of course. But the criticism is richly deserved.

The fact that Bush wasted 27 minutes that day - not only the seven minutes reading to kids but 20 more at a photo op afterward - was, in my view, the most outrageous thing a President has done since Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court.

Watergate was outrageous but it still did not carry the possibility of utter devastation, like a President's freezing at the very moment we needed his immediate focus on an attack on the United States.

This is an issue about the ultimate presidential duty, acting in an emergency. If nothing else in Washington is nonpartisan, this should be.

But it is not. Republicans are tying themselves in knots trying to defend Bush's actions that morning. The excuses they put forward are absurd:

23. and he had the nerve to claim that he didn't want to scare the kids

First -- anybody who's had kids or has worked around them knows how to discreetly slip out of the room without creating a panic. (Even "I have to go pee" would have worked nicely.)

Second -- he kept those kids standing in the room as a live backdrop while he blathered about planes crashing into buildings. Even assuming they were too young to know what that meant (and looking at their faces, I believe many of them did understand) -- it was inappropriate. Especially considering that HE might well have been a target himself, since his schedule had been publicized -- and just by standing there he was endangering them. (If the situation was so dangerous that he had to skitter away to that missile base, since "Air Force One was targeted" -- surely that school was equally in peril.)

[nonny]

25. Liar, liar, pants on fire...

Hmmm... to hear him tell it... he skips the 27 minutes.

"Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C. to help with local rescue efforts."

Then.... he tells us....

"The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."

So.... what about those video cameras around the pentagon? Let's see whats on them... and what about the black boxes... oh, is there something reason that you are hiding these answers?

13. He's holding the book upside down

Looks like he's having a hard time there.:dunce:

[Guaranteed]

21. That's how he reads.

:P

[evilqueen]

14. Yes, let's remember

him standing on the mound of WTC debris, hallowed ground, with a bullhorn, using the event to advance his political agenda.

[WLKjr]

15. He had to get on with his life then too.......

bastard.

[Cocoa]

16. I remember that

I'm looking forward to that footage being a standard part of media reminiscences of 9/11. :sarcasm:

[Cleita]

17. His face said it all. It said, "This is bigger than we thought it was

going to be." He knew something was going to happen. Don't tell me his Saudi oil buddies didn't pass on the information that one of their prodigal sons might be planning something destructive, something that might give them the Pearl Harbor incident they were hoping for.

[Guaranteed]

18. Rec'd. nt

[pitohui]

19. let's remember bush knew

<"">

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. And there he sat.

Either afraid, unsure how to act, or not in control to begin with.

Or... as always, doing what he's told. Just sit there George... just sit there.

[Lisa]

22. and the families are remembering too ...

Melody Homer will remember, as long as she lives, that Bush could have done something to save her husband's life -- and out of fear, cowardice, or incompetence, did not.
(I went to school with her, and she is not the kind of person who gets irrational during a crisis and throws around blame. She just isn't.)

""Whether or not my husband's plane was shot down," the widowed Mrs. Homer said, "the most angering part is reading about how the President handled this."

Mr. Bush was notified 14 minutes after the first attack, at 9 a.m., when he arrived at an elementary school in Sarasota, Fla. He went into a private room and spoke by phone with his national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice, and glanced at a TV in the room. Mrs. Homer's soft voice curdles when she describes his reaction: "I can't get over what Bush said when he was called about the first plane hitting the tower: That's some bad pilot. Why did people on the street assume right away it was a terrorist hijacking, but our President didn't know? Why did it take so long to ground all civilian aircraft? In the time between when my husband's plane took off and when the second plane hit in New York <9:02 a.m.>, they could have turned back to airfield.""

24. Perhaps worse

was his cowardly refusal to return to Washington DC when he should have. It is extremely difficult to think of any other recent president who exhibited such spineless behavior.

[Stephanie]

29. 2001 was a "fabulous year" for him and Laura

for the rest of us, not so much.

[ComerPerro]

30. Wait, don't remember that part!

Don't remember Bush flying around all day long, hiding. Don't remember that Clinton was at the wreckage of 9/11 consoling mourners before Bush was! Don't remember that Laura Bush laughingly gave an account of how "interesting" 9/11 was. Don't remember Bush saying that he would bring those responsible to justice. And, most certainly, do not remember that Bush announced that he doesn't really think about or care where Osama is.
