Kerry bid to make Bush 'goat' for 9/11 seen risky (Repost) Washington Times ^ | 8/24/04 | Charles Hurt

Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign is belittling President Bush for his immediate reaction to the September 11 terrorist attacks, stepping up its response to recent criticism of Mr. Kerry's conduct during the Vietnam War.

The strategy could be particularly risky because, although Mr. Kerry was not reading a children's book when the attacks occurred, he has admitted that he sat stunned and unable to think for more than 30 minutes in the Capitol until he and other senators were whisked out of the building to safety. In an interview last month on "Larry King Live," Mr. Kerry recalled walking into the office of Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, and watching the second plane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center. "And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table, and then we just realized nobody could think," Mr. Kerry recalled, "And then 'Boom!' Right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon." That was a span of roughly 35 minutes, according to precise timelines of the day.
