On September 11, 2001 there were four hijacked airplanes. Bush was warned on Aug 6th (one month and 5 days) of attacks in a report titled, "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In Us" which detailed training for hijacking airplanes. On the morning of September 11th I'm sure he was aware that there was more than one hijacked airplane, even if he didn't know the exact number. Once the first plane hit the WTC, if he had any brain at all, it should have clicked that the other hijacked aircraft were headed for buildings as well and that he needed to do something, anything!
The information was there, and should have been obvious to Bush. Certianly after the SECOND plane hit a building, and there were still two more planes in the air, the pattern should have been obvious. The third plane should never have reached the Pentagon 35 minutes later. I'll excuse the first plane not making a patttern, but the second plane, that makes a pattern, and 35 minutes is enough time to scramble fighers.
Really though, how much of a pattern does it make? The people on the fourth plane figured out the pattern before Bush did, and downed the plane themselves. Without the CIA, or the FBI, or the FAA, or NORAD to tell them, they knew the pattern, and downed that plane. Bush the incompetent meanwhile was at Booker Elementry listening to children read, having been informed of the hijacked planes and that two had already hit their targets.
