For the record, it took Bush FIVE minutes to read and go.

Even though the Dems are criticizing Bush for taking five whole minutes to take action, he took action the RIGHT way.

He continued to read to children despite the horror that had occured; that was a sign of strength...the strength to remain strong and calm in the face of adversity.

Can Kerry claim that? No.

We all know what Clinton would have done those first five minutes.

Help Monica brush off her knees.

From Larry King/Kerry --
The second plane hit the WTC at 9:03 AM and the plane crashed into the Pentagon at 9:43 AM. For a period of 40 minutes Mr. Kerry did nothing because "nobody could think.
Time frame - 40 minutes.

While reading to children, the President was told another plane had hit WTC which meant we were under attack.

While his staff was prepared his departure, the Secret Service secured an alternate route for the Presidential motorcade and Air Force One. While continuing to be calm in front of the children, school staff, and parents, President Bush made the executive decision to ground all aircraft, and during those minutes to make the decision to issue orders to shoot down any aircraft that failed to comply.
Time frame - 5-7 minutes.

Within those "seven minutes" and another 33 minutes, a seasoned senator admittingly sat frozen unable to move. Now, 3 years claims he would have run to the WTC.

Who would you rather have lead our country?
