I'm buying this man's book. I have always wondered how he made the transition from wanting to be a domestic president that criticized "nation building" as a candidate to the man that promulgated the bush doctrine of preemption.
and I'll bet he doesn't blame The Clenis even once.
George Bush thought 9/11 plane had been shot down on his orders
Memoirs reveal former US president gave order to shoot down any hijacked planes before United Airlines flight 93 crashed
George Bush initially believed the only plane not to reach its intended target during the 11 September attacks had been shot down on his orders, according to leaks from the former president's memoir of his two terms in office.
Bush reveals that he gave the order for any further suspected hijacked planes to be shot down after the first aircraft were flown into the World Trade Centre in New York during the 2001 terror attacks.
He at first thought the crash of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania had resulted from this instruction, although it later emerged that passengers had stormed the cockpit as hijackers flew the plane towards the Capitol building in Washington.
The memoir, Decision Points, is due to be published on 9 November, in the aftermath of the US midterm elections, and Bush is already lined up for interviews on the Oprah Winfrey and NBC Today shows.

Oooh. Yep, I will buy it too.
Of course can you imagine if we had been able to shoot down flight 93 before it crashed? The DUmmies would have foamed at the mouth and twisted it into something else.

A good number of them still deny that that plane existed let alone that it was brought down by any action on behalf of passengers.
