Link me to the video
Better yet, dont
I dont feel like debating you here, but feel free to send me an instant message anytime.
I dont buy into the conspiracy government is out to get us theory. You say you want your president to protect you and you are bent about 11 minutes. He has the Patriot Act, which I dont think you read the whole thing, but picked out the wiretap part. So you dont like that. I suppose a good president would be someone like Clinton that never did a damn thing, even when we were getting attacked everywhere by radical muslims. Well untill he got busted with Lewinsky. You have picked out things that Bush has done wrong that you dont like but I have never seen your opinion of what you would have done. I have never seen a link to what anyone would have done. Find me a link of what Al Gore would have done. Oh wait. He supported the war with Iraq, and the war against Osama.
Give all this some thought and send me a message.
I added my messenger programs so you can find me easier.
I like anything the critisizes the Bush Admininstration.... Bush 1 or Bush 2...:D
PS> Have you noticed that Fox (aka: the Rupert Murdoch Channel) isn't using the Fair & Balanced logo anymore...:D

This video shows a greater than 5 minute interval. the one Moore has shows an 11 minute pause which coincides with eyewitness accounts.
and just fyi from the article:
At 9:03 AM on 11 September 2001, the second airplane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center. President Bush was in Florida, at the Emma T. Booker Elementary School, listening to children read. Chief of Staff Andrew Card came over and whispered in Bush's ear, "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack."
What did the Commander in Chief do? Nothing. He sat there. He sat for well over 5 minutes, doing nothing while 3,000 people were dying and the attacks were still in progress.
Not only did the leader of the free world sit as his country was attacked, the Secret Service also did nothing. Bush was appearing in public at a previously announced photo-op. He was a sitting duck. The attacks were ongoing at that point (planes had yet to hit the Pentagon or the field in Pennsylvania), and nobody knew how much more destruction was going to happen. Were there two, three, four, eight more planes hijacked and on their way to crash into prominent buildings? Was one headed for the school, where anyone who checked the President's public itinerary would know he was located? Were other terrorists planning to detonate dirty nukes? Were they going to release anthrax or smallpox or sarin? Was an assassination squad going to burst into the school and get Bush? Was a suicide bomber going to ram a truck full of explosives into that classroom?
During the midst of the attacks, any of these things could've happened. Yet there sits Bush, seemingly unconcerned. His Chief of Staff likewise doesn't think that America in flames warrants the President's immediate attention. And the Secret Service utterly fails to do its job by grabbing the President of the United States and getting him to safety. It's truly inexplicable.
And it's something the administration isn't too eager to trumpet. They haven't released footage of the President's (non)actions during this historic moment of American history.
Four of the nine jury members who awarded le Palme d'Or were American. Guess that means that the Americans love it almost as much of the French then?Quote:

Seems you forgot about my point raised over those 20 minutes...Quote:

I EXPECTED the President to at least stop reading to the kids long enough to find out more about the situation when informed "America is under attack".Quote:

It seems our President would just sit there while nukes might be falling.
No military commander would keep his job when informed his unit was under attack he took 11 minutes to read to kids. In fact, I believe that would be dereliction of duty and he would be court martialed.
While I think that Bush handled the 90 days after 9/11 Properly, (Don't get me started on the last year) he should have been thrown into a limo by the Secret Service. I really wouldn't blaim him for this I would blaim the secret service. They are not to be worried about how it would look who it would scare or if it would piss off the President they are to protect against threats. This was a threat why they didn't do anything is amazing.
The Secret Service reaction is a who 'nother story.Quote:
