Bush just sat there and ignored what was going on. That seems to me to be the biggest possible disrespect to the poeple who died that day. Then again, Bush doesn't care when people die at his hand since he hasn't gone to any of the funerals. Bush's job was to (1) gather information, (2) make decisions, and (3) order the military to deploy in such a manner as to implement his decisions. Bush had a responsibility to project America from further attack. Gathering information meant going back to Air Force One and getting plugged into the loop. What did Bush actually do? He sat there reading a book called "The Little Billy Goat". Once his handlers and the Air Force determined that Bush was dumb-founded and unable to act, they pulled him out, and wisked him off to a bunker where he could hide out until whatever drugs he was taking wore off. The result was that chaos reigned up and down the chain of command. The situation on the morning of 9/11 was much more complex than most people are aware of. People know of the 4 aircraft that crashed. But at one point, the air defence command was tracking as many as 12 aircraft that were considered to have been hijacked. This was due to aircraft who had transponders that were not working, were switched off by accident, or were set incorrectly. There were also planes that were not communicating. This was all eventually sorted out, but fighters were dispatched to check some of these aircraft out. Can you imagine what could have happened if even half of these 12 aircraft actually were hijacks? That would have been 10 planes inbound as flying bombs. And Bush was sitting there reading "The Little Billy Goat". Apparently Bush found it far more important to learn how the Little Billy Goat turned out than to take command of the military and protect America from the terrorists. -john- -- ==================================================================== John A.
