I will leave it up to the average American to decide how long after Bush was told "A second plane hit the WTC, America is under attack" he should have realized, Hey, I'm the President, I am the Commander in Chief. I should do my job and protect my country. Eleven minutes of talking to kids, I think NOT.

I'm going all the way back to the beginning of this thread so I can just call you a retard.

You obviously have ZERO memory of what happened that day because when I and everyone in my house saw the planes hit and the buildings collapse, we just sat there jaws agape. I went to work and our helpdesk that gets 300-600 calls a day got 35 calls. All of us sat thtere and tried to refresh CNN to get any news at all for a full 8 hour day.

NOBODY ever expected people to take over an aircraft and suicide themselves into a damned building.

We had our radar looking for enemies from outside of the country coming in to us and not trained on civilian aircraft. This only made sense as per the statement directly above where I stete, "NOBODY ever expected people to take over an aircraft and suicide themselves into a damned building."

Hell, no one knew it was a terrorists attack until later on that day and it was all speculation up until later. Even when we knew of the attacks and the plane in western PA was still up in the air what could we do? The military aircraft we have in the air already are not usually armed to the teeth and capable of shooting down a jet airliner that is filled with American civilians. You can't just arm and fuel and get aircraft into the air in a heartbeat (it's not like driving a car). If we targeted it from the ground, what if we hit the wrong plane? Etc., etc., you can second guess everything until you are blue in the face and try to lay blame but it's all bull****. You can plan and plan and make sure it doesn't happen again but it only means that those who wish to harm us will find new ways that are unprotected to attack.

You equating 9/11 and Bushes shock to some sort of lack of defense in case of a nuclear threat from offshore is assinine and damned obscene. you are using the deaths of thousands to twist and distort the truth to your political parties advantage and it's sickening.

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.

Why? What immediate threat was he in that they had to rush him elsewhere? I don't remember any terrorists shooting up the school room he was in. You are speculating about woulda, choulda, shoulda but you're forgetting that we were not under attack by a foriegn power. Our own jet airliners were crashing into the WTC. How is throwing him into a limo going to help with that?

But the point of my post was that even a right wing Bush supporting network like Fox News is praising F911. I expect that idiots like Jaxson will find some kooky, fascist, aluminum foil wearing conspiracy website to quote.

You are defending a President who was told "America is under attack" and did NOTHING!!!!!! for 11 minutes. Sorry, but I expect my President to at least find out WHAT THE F*CK WAS HAPPENING.
And yes I do expect my President to understand that nuclear attack can happen at any time and he needs to be immediately apprised of and evaluate the situation.
That has been an issue in every election since 1960 and we have ALWAYS considered that a primary quality in a candidate.
Every thing else you wrote is not pertinent. In the nuclear age a President who is told America is under attack MUST find out the nature of the attack immediately and be prepared to take action.
