It wouldn't have mattered if the EPA announced that the air in New York was so toxic that prolonged exposure might kill you! The FDNY, NYPD and all the other first responders would not have left the scene.
Americans have always been their best when times are the worst and that will never change.
Those who want to politicize the events of 9/11 with meaningless accusations such as this one should be condemned by all Americans who can see through this abvious opportunism
What about the chillrun?
I'm posting my comment here. I think it's all germane because just a few weeks ago there was an article about what was planned for this year's 9/11. The lefacy media folks IMO made it clear -- it's going to be a Bush bashing festival.
About the other article: The authors, Allan Wood and Paul Thompson are perfect for Norry's Coast-to-Coast show. If only they could get in a hint or two that the Bush family members are extraterrestrial reptiles -- they already have anti-Bush credentials they just need that little extra. Thak goodness for Barbara Simpsonon the weekends.
The article is very detailed and well sourced account. But why do the authors make such a big deal I'm wondering as I read it. If you block their snide little comments it's an excellent account. Their purpose is no more than to ask and answer the question:
So what did the Commander in Chief do with the knowledge that the United States was under attack?
He did nothing.
Nothing? Like all those tens of thousands of GS-99s and generals have to wait until a single man, the President, tells them precisely how to react, step by step? Don't they train? Aren't they suppose to get the facts? Put in motion plans. Have everything in motion?
So the President didn't immediately -- like within 15 - 20 minutes know exactly what to do. You mean Presidents, GS-99s, and generals are immune to the "fog of war?" They know everything within a nano second? The authors say it's absurd that the President didn't start leading the war effort and "making decisions as Commander in Chief." Like what? He met with his staff in a nearby classroom -- more criticism by the authors for his not leaving -- boy they really wanted him out of that school building!
Air Force One took off at either 9:55 or 9:57 a.m.
Now are the authors happy? No. They complain that Bush didn't arrange for fighter escort -- remember only he can decide everything. Those tens of thousands of GS-99s and generals can't do anything by themselves.
