The part that irks me the most is the part where he pointed out that Bush was in Florida and "appearing to react slowly" after the events. What does Doblin know what Bush did?  Air force jets were deployed, federal agencies were alerted, the military was trying to save the lives of those in the pentagon and preserve and guard secret information,  and the secret service had to protect the president.  And why did Doblin make notice that the president didn't return to DC?  Did he want President Bush come into harm's way?  Didn't he know that hijacked airliners were still flying and nobody knew if there were more of them out there or not?

 

And who cares where he was when it happened.  Where was Clinton during the '91 WTC bombing, Where was Clinton when the USS Cole was bombed, where was JFK during the Bay of Pigs, where was FDR during Pearl Harbor? He just had to put in his little digs.  What is Doblin trying to prove?

John F'n has been using Vietnam as campaign fodder for months. He is using the men who died in Vietnam.

And whether it was because of security concerns or poor communications, the president flew from Florida to Air Force bases in Louisiana and Nebraska before returning to the White House. In the immediate hours after planes crashed in New York City, at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania, Bush was heading away from the scenes of tragedy. Sept. 11 was not the president's shining hour.

Nor was he shagging with an intern in the Oval Office. The crass naivete to insinuate that the greatest nation on earth does not go into action with pre planned procedures when attacked flys in the face of all else that they misrepresent. Sadly that day was no the shining hour for any of us. Our President, did however stand firm and acted with resolve. God Bless him and America during this time.

"But if Bush wants Americans to see coffins and to believe in his leadership, the president must show them all the coffins of those who died because of his orders as commander in chief."

That is idiotic "logic", at best.

What family would their grief made so public?
Our "friends" would be heartbroken and our "enemies" would rejoice at the sight.
Maybe that's the point, really.
Maybe *some* people want a chance to rejoice in the deaths of our heroes just to make their political "point".


Where were all the congress critters on 911?
Out in the streets manning anti-aircraft artillery?
I don't think so.

President Bush acted much faster, and far more decisively, when the World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11 than his predecessor did when the World Trade Center was attacked the first time.

"Air force jets were deployed"

Touchy, very touchy subject matter.

And in every case the liberal media would love for us to forget the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. How can they run the images of Sept.11, 2001 when they have as their candidate a man who voted against the 87 billion for our troops in Iraq. The liberal media pushes news, and hasn't reported news for a good many years.

I just sent a letter to the editor of this fish-wrap.

On December 7, 1941, I was ten years old. We lost over 2,000 servicemen at Pearl Harbor. We had absolutely no idea where the President (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) was until the next day when he appeared before the Congress.

Where was he? Was he hiding? Was he afraid for his miserable life?

[MHGinTN]

Contacting such an Bush-bashing airhead seems ... superfluous.

[ApplegateRanch]

One question:

Would you rather POTUS be underfoot, in danger, and out of touch at the scene for "morale reasons"; or aboard AF1, the airborne mobile emergency presidential command post, in direct touch with every facility that matters?

[CyberAnt]

There have been enough CORRECT explanations of what happened that day .. any legitimate journalist could have found the information. The fact that this person didn't even bother to look for that information tells me a great deal about them.

And .. how many movies have been made about Pearl Harbor ..?? I suppose those are "way too much" too.
