When I turned on the TV to CNBC, for financial stuff, they had pictures of the burning WTC. No one had any idea of what had happened, they had reports that a plane had hit the WTC but that was all. Then the second tower was hit and it was apparent that it was a deliberate attack. I believe it was about a 15 minute gap. So we have Bush who spent 8 minutes continuing to talk to some kids after the first attack, when nothing was known, before he went to investigate. The problem with this line of logic is that the 8 minutes of inaction was after he was told about the second plane. He had been told of the first plane prior to entering the classroom. You need to rewrite your conclusion. The White House response to the criticism if GWB was that he wanted to project an air of calm and being in control in the face of crisis, and not immediately rush from the room. I only brought this up to correct the facts. Personally, I probably would have sat there just like GWB. I watched it live on TV, and it took a bit of time after the second plane for me to figure out what was going on. However, I'm not the President, and I don't have a direct line to the FAA, who had a better idea of what was happening. Then we have Kerry who sat in a stupor for 40 minutes after he was informed. Pretty easy choice to me ![]() Maybe not as easy, with the correct sequence of events. |
