No. Brokaw is talking about after the SECOND plane hit and Andy Card interrupted the President and whispered to him "A second plane has his the second tower. America is under attack." At that point the President waited for 7 minutes as the story was read to the schoolchildren. Kerry criticized the President for waiting (on the heels of Michael Moore's use of the footage in F911) and said he would have excused himself right then and there. This is what Brokaw was weighing in on this morning when he said that he would have actually told these kids "America is under attack."
