Ya know...
If Bush said, "The magnitude of what was confronting me was so unprecedented and enormous I had to just take a moment to collect my thoughts. That moment may have lasted seven and a half minutes but to me, as Commander in Chief and President of the United States, it was the blink of an eye." I wouldn't begrudge the man for a second.
John Kerry (who saw combat in Vietnam) told Larry King that he was in Daschle's office with a few others and they all sat around numb and dumbfounded from the news of the 2nd strike until the Cap Hill police ordered the Capitol Building evacuated because another plane was inbound on DC.
That was 40+ minutes!
****. Even after 9/11 it took Obama 18 hours, including a night's sleep, to decide to send the SEALs Abottabad.
Bush took 7.5 minutes?
And this was the pretexct to his 14 month long "rush to war" in Iraq.
The reality is, no matter what Bush could have done that day, it would have been the wrong thing according to the dims.
I would also love to ask these people about how 0bama reacted to the "work place incident" at Ft Hood. He took several days and when he finally found time in his busy schedule to do so, he yammered on for 2 minutes before getting to it. He may as well opened with a joke when he gave the shout out.
As for the DU threads, the Sgt brought up a good point that I hadn't considered for awhile, they harp on how Bush sat on his ass and let 9-11 happen, yet when any terrorist threat is made public, (not just this current one every one), they go into full blown CT mode and claim that the government is up to something and how we shouldn't fear brown people. Even when their guy is in charge they do this. If the DUmmies were truly anti war they would be demanding that 0bama get frogmarched to the Hague every time there is a drone attack, yet they are silent except for a few DUmmies who bitch and moan a little, but they never call for impeachment. It amazes me how Bush's illegal wars are all of a sudden fine and dandy under 0bama. I wonder if it has anything to do with the lack of body counts every night on the tee vee news.
