Reply #13: If we only had reporters... [View All]

...who would ask the question: "Mr. President, on (some date) you said that you saw the video of the first plane flying into the tower. Now you say that Karl told you it was a twin engine plane. Can you clarify this apparent contradiction?" And when he evades answering that question, the next reporter would continue with "Mr. President, there were four commercial airliners hijacked that morning and our military and NORAD knew about it -- but you, the Commander In Chief, did not. Can you comment on what appears to be a rather serious breach in the chain of command?" And when he evades that one, the next reporter follows up with "When Payne Stewart's Lear Jet flew off course, it had a fighter plane escort within 15 minutes (or whatever the real figure is, something like that). Yet, with four airliners hijacked, and with one and then another of them crashing into the WTC, it was only after the Pentagon was hit that a single fighter was scrambled. Can you comment on this catastrophic lack of response?" etc., etc. I wish the White House Press Corps, or at least those who still believe they have a vital function to perform in our democracy, would get together and arrange to give the CIC a grilling at his next press conference.
