Bush in the classroom
    #2967550 - 08/05/04 10:58 AM (19 years, 9 months ago)

Remember how Bush sat in that classroom reading to children while the terrorists struck on the morning of September 11th? Well, he was being broadcast live on Florida TV, which means that anyone could've turned on the TV and saw where he was. Didn't anyone consider the fact that by staying there, he was making that classroom a potential target? Unless of course he knew where the planes would strike.

There are two explanations, Bush is a complete idiot, a terrible commander in chief who cannot be relied upon in a crisis situation, or he knew. I vote for the first explanation.

Ya, I could go either way with it. I'm perfectly willing to accept the incompetence defense, except for the fact that some of his other advisors were there, so wouldn't they be able to figure this shit out?

please someone tell some hard evidence that bush knew the attacks were going to happen.

why would bush know?? you think the president is the only person running this shitty system show?

Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

What was it, 7 minutes, he continued to read after being told before he left? What do think he could have done differently in those 7 minutes that would have changed the outcome? Had he immediately excused himself, don't you believe this could have caused even more of a panic?

So you?re one of the people who worry that the children might have become upset and that that should have been Bush?s main concern, huh? Yeah, fuck the 3,000 people that died that day. The kids could have become upset.

Instead of sitting in that room for 7 more minutes he could have gotten the hell out of there because he was a sitting duck and supposedly didn?t know if the school was a target or not. He also could have checked to see if he needed to authorize shooting down one of the planes since he is one of the only 2(?) people who are authorized to do so.

What exactly was he told when they came to him while he was reading? I understood that it was only that a plane had crashed into the WTC. Anyone know for sure exactly, or pretty close, what he told?

Bush had plenty of time to react. The first plane he probably thought was some sort of freak accident. The second plane sealed the deal. At that point he should have gotten up, ran to the nearest phone booth, got into his skin tight blue suit and red cape and flown to rescue the remaining plane. If you liked him strutting around the flight deck in his flight suit, just imagine how studly he would have been with that cape on.

Maybe he even could have flown around the earth so fast that he could turn back time. Then he could have rewritten the book "My Pet Goat" to give him a warning when the time came. He also could have put a nifty bet on UConn in the Big Dance.

Anyway you look at it, Bush dropped the ball. He could have done so much in those 7 minutes.

So appearences are more important than trying to determine the extent of what was going on? More important than talking to his generals? More important than authorizing the guided missiles (the hijacked airliners) to be shot down?

Sorry, the man is incompetent if his priorities revolved around how he would appear on television talking to kids during a national emergency.

I'm less interested in what Bush himself was doing at the time of the attacks than I am interested in what NORAD was doing in the hour previous to the attacks. For years before 9-11, NORAD was a subject of great interest to me, and I did a lot of research on their procedures and capabilities. In light of that knowledge, the success of the 9-11 attacks is very fishy to me.

He knew of the first plane before he went in for his photo-op at the school. He was told by Andrew Card about the second plane during his attempt at reading "My Pet Goat".

Instead of getting the hell out of there to see what he could do he sat there like a sitting duck. Supposedly he didn?t know if the school would be the next target.

What?s this about SAM missles was my question to afoaf.

I'm making my decision based on what I thought I remember them saying what he was told. I thought that he was only told that a plane crashed into WTC. I'm not sure what all information he was given. But if that was it, then why even suspect terrorism?

It has been so long now though I admit I'm not sure what was found to have been told to him.

My guess is he was told to sit tight, but start wrapping it up and they would get him out of there as fast as they could.

If the first plane had crashed before he started the photo-op then the main criticism that comes to my mind is why he was doing a photo-op immediately after a huge event like that at all.

Bush sat on his "I am tough on terror" ass waiting for the someone to tell him what in the hell to do. 7 minutes of wasted time he could have reacted, dispatched fighters or cleared the school to prevent harm to the children. Did anyone notice that after the last terror announcement for NYC when everyone was told of a possible pending attack that Laura Bush, GW's Mother and one of his daughter's were in NYC the very next day to help open Wallstreet. Do you think Bush would send his family in harm's way? maybe he knew the terror alert was just another political ploy?

Stein has a point. Bill Clinton did everything for the children. And when it came to young interns, he liked to do just about everything to the children.

That's a good point. If terrorists did know where he was and planned on assasinating him, SS probably wanted to double check and secure the perimeter. Since they were gonna need a few minutes anyway, why have him run out and cause undue panic.

I'm pretty sure he arrived at the school by motorcade. Does anyone know if he left that way? Since they wanted to get to Air Force 1 ASAP, maybe they got a chopper?

My main point is this. We can create scenarios where it would have been advantangeous for him to immediately leave, but does anyone here actually think in what the actually happened that those 7 minutes would changed anything?

Bitching about terror alerts is another futile argument.  If there were an attack, and it came out that they had information about it but sat on it, would you then say "Yeah that's too bad, but it sure beats getting warned all the time!"
