W's own account puts the lie to this...crap.
He was informed of the first plane strike, and commented that was "one lousy pilot". He did not know the size of the aircraft involved.
Card whispered in his ear that a second plane had struck and that "America is under attack". W took a few moments to collect himself while going along with the photo opportunity. Then he got up, got informed, and got on with kicking terrorist ass around the globe.
Good point.
I hope this question comes up in one of the debates. I feel Bush would blow the controversy out of the water.
