“Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to,” Kerry said.

He would have wet his pants. That is the crudest thing I have ever said on FR, but I believe it.

The main reason Bush waited to react is that EVERYONE believed that the first plane to hit the WTC was a freakish accident. It was only after the second plane hit that everyone then knew it was a coordinated and deliberate attack.

KERRY'S PLAYING POLITICS WITH 9-11. This man (I use the term advisedly) is about as reprehensible as one gets in politics.

Kerry is done. He's toast. I've never seen a candidate go so out of his way to lose a campaign... It's just amazing.

Yes. Kerry would likley have excused himself, then inflicted a flesh wound upon himself, then put in for a purple heart and requested an immediate transfer to a country less likely to be attacked.

Nah, he would have leaped up and ran to the nearest TV camera (he IS quite skilled at that) and announced that, since John Kerry served in Vietnam, whoever did this should be really, REALLY scared.

Of course, he's had nearly THREE YEARS to think about this.

The President had half a second. I still believe he did the right thing.

What should he have done? Jump into a phone booth and flown around the world backwards to turn back time?

I ownder if he protests his NOTED LACK of attendance in the Senate?

BTW, anyone know a job I can get where I can miss work 85% of the time and still pull 150,000 plus bennies?

“Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have opened up with the "50". "Hey kids did you know I was in Vietnam?"

"to keep the kids and the press calm while the appropriate staff got a handle on the situation...."

IIRC, they also needed time to set up communications. There was no need to rush out of the room as there was nothing yet to rush to.

Not only that, it's possible that there were powers given to Cheney given the situation.

Much more will come out as the years pass but security of our President and the chain of command is just too important to violate in these times in particular.

LOL...

WS, someone suggested on the thread you posted yesterday of Kerry's worship before the Huey in Iowa that someone should post a "Daily Dork Alert" thread on the last stupidity and banality from Kerry's two-sided mouth. I think this thread here represents today's "Dork Alert."
