Good article. Thanks.
OMG - I just went through and read the thread. It brought everything back so clearly that I started to cry again. God Bless America, God Bless George W. Bush.
In those horrible first moments, no one knew where the next shoe was going to fall.
America listens to its President. But the President listens to his Secret Service.
That's how it works. Houseboy Kerry knows that; he's just being a sleazeball.
I was and remain very proud of the way the President reacted that awful day...and ever since.
BTW, I've often wondered what the Secret Service was doing during those seven minutes.
I thought he was in Cambodia that day. . .
Yes, He was in Daschles senate office and he admitted he couldn't think for 45 minutes. Bush was 38 minutes ahead of Kerry from the get go.
He took the "opportunist" page straight from Michael Moore. After what he said at UNITY and then hearing what he REALLY did on 9/11, he is even lower on my respectability list.
I saw Bill Maher and Michael Mooooore j*rking off on his show about those 7 minutes. I guess that makes Kerry 6x worse than Bush, huh?
My opinion is that Bush WAS IN SHOCK for a few mintues and was trying to gather his thoughts. NOBODY (Bush, Cheney, Rice, Kerry, Clinton, Gore, etc.) expected two planes to hit the WTC. I was in shock for days, like most people who felt like it couldn't have been real.
When you exploit ANYONE'S actions on 9/11, you are lower than scum. Hindsight is a copeout.
Let's not forget Michael Moore's response to the 9/11 - he was just mad that the terrorists attacked BLUE states (New York, Massachusetts, DC, California). He probably would have been ok with 3,000 deaths in the South.
I don't know what Bush was thinking in those 7 minutes, but I remember the next 10 days when Schumer, Byrd, Mrs. Bill Clinton were all wetting their pants about what to do - I saw Bush step up to challange with his speech on Sept. 20, 2001. Absolutely perfect!
Thank you. It is something we forget at our peril.
Excellent Point!
40 minutes.
Oh come now. He hasn't the attention span.
I'm not sure what you mean. You said he was stunned for 40 seconds but he says it was almost 40 minutes according to his Larry King interview.
What am I missing?
