It is true. It seems to me that Bush meant was speaking about seeing the damage done by the first plane.

Yes, but the quote of what he said, which I have seen on the white house web site....reported him commenting that he saw the (first) plane hit the tower and that he thought, "what a rotten pilot." Also, the time ( app. 8:45) was consistent with such an interpretation.

I'd rather see the whole country united behind a plausible story than to see us divided into the "lib/conser" dichotomy here.

Also, as has been noted, the whereabouts of the air force leave questions too real for me to be satisfied that we have some lib-plot on our hands.
