It was all over by then.

Actually the seven minute classroom thing happened at 9:06 and the plane hit
the pentagon at 9:45.

Jim- Please don't confuse me with "conservative friends". I was being
sarcastic. I was at the opening showing of Moores 9/11, and loved every
second of it.

Dixon-Please dont confuse me with as "sympathetic" to OT posters. I am not
being sarcastic. I saw Moores 9/11, and loved every minute of it.

However, one would have to be a rude inconsiderate a**hole to discuss it
here.


Just curious about your "It's just about going fast...that's all...". How
fast you been on the water Netsock?

Correct. But no steps were taken, as none could have been taken.

Maybe- but when they were thinking about shooting the hijacked plane down
over Penn., you wouldn't think a decision that major would be made by
someone to far down the chain of command.

Sarasota principal defends Bush from "Fahrenheit 9/11" portrayal
By Associated Press
June 24, 2004

SARASOTA - Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" criticizes President Bush
for listening to Sarasota second-graders read a story for nearly seven
minutes after learning the nation was under attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

But Gwendolyn Tose'-Rigell, the principal at Emma E. Booker Elementary
School, says Bush handled himself properly.

"I don't think anyone could have handled it better," Tose'-Rigell told the
Sarasota Herald-Tribune in a story published Wednesday. "What would it have
served if he had jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room?"

How about a simple "excuse me, there's some important business I need to
attend to?"

Helpless, hapless, born again idiot.

Well, that certainly explains it...the world-class statesman-school
principal has the answer.

Yes, I feel she's more qualified than you, or I, or Michael Moore to comment
on how Bush handled himself that morning...because she was there.

BTW--She's a registered Democrat who voted for Gore in 2000.

She's an idiot, but not as much of an idiot as Bush.

It was NORADS job, not the president's. He had no part in it. He was
told about the first plane in the class. A single-engine plane hitting a
tower isn't something a president really needs to divert all his
attention to. The news of a second plane hitting the tower took a while
to soak in TO ALL OF US.

I saw it all live, I work in the media. I didn't exactly jump up and run
for the civil defense shelter myself. And I'll bet a lot of New Yorkers
didn't either, although they probably should have.

I say he was focused on his job at hand (in front of a classroom full of
kids and many, many media personnel and cameras, and his own entourage
of staff). To take in the new info and realize it was important and sort
out his thoughts from all the rest is a difficult thing at best.

I agree, Bush isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he had his
hands full and was handed another heapin' helping of emergency.

No, I don't fault him for his hesitation.

Did he know that? How the hell did he know that? How did you know
that?

It could've been the start of a war far all you or he knew.

Why do you think he stayed away from Washington? He and his people
perceived a potential threat.

Where your logic synapses? Gone missing?

We wouldn't have gone after anyone. That was my point: "we'd be
apologizing to the entire Arab world".

They've been begging for an ass whuppin' since the Brits left their
lands.

What did you do when you first heard, go for the CD shelter or did you
watch with amazement, like the rest of us?

Yup. Any SIGNIFICANT, planned or expected type of war would be over
before you or I were finished vaporizing. That's the point to the 911
report, it was a NEW unexpected type of war.

Why do you think he stayed away from Washington? He and his people
perceived a potential threat.

It was over before he (or you or I or NORAD) could do a damn thing. The
ad hom is ignored.
