“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.
Give me a break. Kerry was not in that situation; he has no idea what he would have done at that moment. What would Kerry have done if his aide wispered in his ear, "Sir, a second jet has hit the world trade center, the United States is apparently under attack from an unknown enemy. We are in communication with the vice-president who is operating from the bunker under the White House. Please give us a few minutes while we make some security arrangments and secure the route to the airport."
Moving the President from one point to another always involves a lot of planning and security. In the minutes following the 9/11 attacks, there would naturally be quite a bit of confusion/uncertainty and a need to revise security plans in light of the attacks. That there was a delay is not only not surprising, it is to be expected. President Bush tried to handle this difficult situation in the best manner he could. The fact that the Dems/Lefties/Liberals would try to use this to attack the President shows that most of them have lost all their scruples. That Kerry would use this while the U.S. is at war, in spite of knowing the complexity of the security involed, shows that he is completely unfit the lead the country.
I just sent your post to Rush - it was excellent!
