Bush could have done what every other American did -- react.  I jumped
up and yelled "holly shit", and I suspect that many others did, too.
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.
