Hey Bill.....EXACTLY what did you want President Bush to do in that 20 minutes in the school classroom?

Oh, I don't know....maybe TAKING CHARGE OF THE SITUATION instead of lollygagging around and reading to some school kids.

Anything would have been an improvement.

There was nothing certain about the situation then. People weren't sure what was happening. It was a nuke bomb blast, nor even a big truck bomb.

At that point no one was sure why a plane had flown into the WTC.

I'm not a big fan of Shrub, but c'mon . . . this isn't "High Noon".

The Prez doesn't actually do *anything* in this kind of situation except handle the "PR" angle. The Pentagon -- without political interference from the Prez -- handles responses like this.

This is all so silly. I know, it's not new, they investigated Mary Todd Lincoln for being a Confederate sympathizer. Like those who say FDR knew about and allowed Pearl Harbor.

Politics as a team sport. If you don't like the guy, criticize everything he does. That's the real cause of the fall of the American political system.

Your petty nitpicking qualifies you for a seat on the 9/11 commission.
