A somber, keep it in perspective, BTTT.

Say what you will, some of you people out there about President Bush. Read, REALLY READ, the time-line of these chains of events and see how rapidly things were shut down, preventing more tragedy.

God bless every one of the people who lost their lives that day, and their families.

[Pro-Bush]

A military counter-terrorist wargame was planned for that day. As 9/11 took place, it seemed like a military exercise to some.

[Bobby777]

thanks Cindy and Brad's Gramma for bumping the thread ... ping for others (sorry if accidental double-ping) ...

[Brad’s Gramma]

I think things like this should be mandatory reading for all Americans.

The live thread here on FR is incredibly sobering, too.

[Bobby777]

wow, what a day that was ...

[MoJo2001]

[Pro-Bush]

According to The New York Times, (Sept 15)

Within ten minutes of the first plane crash into the World Trade Center, President George W. Bush was aware of it.

"He got out of his hotel suite this morning, [on his way to a school] was about to leave, reporters saw the White House chief of staff, Andy Card, whisper into his ear. The reporter said to the president, 'Do you know what's going on in New York?' He said he did, and he said he will have something about it later." (ABC's John Cochran, Peter Jennings)

Exactly! Had Gore been president, he'd still be trying to organize a diverse focus group to "study" the situation.

[Pro-Bush]

Koran 9:5 "... then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush ..."

What a peaceful religion!
