Why didn't Bush try find out IMMEDIATELY where his family was?

[Swede]

I mean the country was under attack!

[Stew225]

1. Well, we don't know that he

didn't. I'm a major anti-Bush guy, but he might have made a few phone calls. We don't know.

[Swede]

2. He sat there for seven minutes looking puzzled.

That's seven minutes when you can imagine your family dieing horribly.

[mindem]

7. His "stupid" button was probably stuck. N/T

[LittleApple81]

3. No. I think they said he couldn't DO ANYTHING because his phone was not

working... hmmmmmm.... hmmmmm... I remember how much fun DUers had with that one.

[Wapsie B]

9. Yeah that's it, that's it.

The leader of the free world cannot rally his forces due to one cell phone gowing kerflooey. That's what my girlfriend Cameron Diaz said. Cameron, who I slept with.

:evilgrin:

[Warpy]

19. We DO know.

We know he was told the first plane hit before he got to the school. He was told the country was under attack when he was sitting there, and he just SAT THERE for seven minutes. At the end of the seven minutes, when the kiddies stopped reading, he schmoozed with the kiddies and continued the photo op. The whole video shows about 20 minutes of Bush after he was told the country was under attack. At NO TIME did that man excuse himself, ask for a phone, ask for an update, ask for any information at all, not even about his family!

Yeah, we do know.

4. He was riveted by the plot turns & twists of 'My Pet Goat'

Probably the first book he had read since Yale.

[maggrwaggr]

5. good point. That would be everybody's first reaction

and was certainly mine that day

[stevedeshazer]

6. Excellent, excellent question

My wife heard first and was IMMEDIATELY on the phone to me at work after the first plane hit the north tower, before 6 am Pacific time.

[displacedtexan]

8. I called my brother in TX immediately

after the first plane hit.

Remember in Clarke's book, "Rice just stood there."

[cliss]

10. Sorry guys, color me skeptical.

I really don't believe that Cockroach-Brain just sat there because he didn't know what to do. Of course, knowing him, it's tempting believe me.

Everything about that morning is so suspicious, so veiled in mystery. So many unanswered questions that only THEY know the answers to.

My theory: the people running the show knew that something was going to come down that day. We've read many threads which support that. They made sure to get Booze-Bush out of town and have him in a very visible spot where he could be watched, and also have a great alibi. What could be more innocent than reading for kids?

Meanwhile, Loyal Gopher Andrew Card tiptoes up to Bash and whispers in his ear that the first plane hit. Brash knows that he's been told to sit still and wait. Of course, his feeble brain is trying to think, hence the strange looks on his face (see: 9/11).

He doesn't worry about his family because they've already been taken care of.

This whole thing was completely out of his hands.
My theory.

**Swede: good to see you again! Välkommen tillbaks.

[Swede]

11. Hey cliss!

I sorta stayed away for awhile,but I'm back,and loving it.

[arcane1]

12. Bush knew DAMNED WELL what to do:

sit there, shut up, and stay out of the way :grr:

[2Design]

13. exactly

[stevedeshazer]

14. You seem to be making Swede's point

Unless I am totally missing Swede's point!

Swede says the country was under attack; the first response of any adult would be to ascertain the safety of immediate family, no? AND, since * did not do this, it supports the idea that Bush knew it was coming and did nothing.

Okay, help me out here. :)

[Swede]

15. Hey,I'm just sayin'

It's mighty strange to sit there,not knowing what kind of attack,how large etc,and not wonder if his twins where safe.
By "twins" I mean his daughters, not his uh er....well you know.

[stevedeshazer]

17. That's what I'm sayin' too! n/t

[bpilgrim]

16. his NON-reaction tells the whole story imo

everyone i know would have at least reacted, no one can say for sure exactly HOW but they all say they would have at least REACTED.

psst... pass the word ;->

peace

[loudsue]

18. Michael Moore didn't need any words....the picture told the whole story

for the whole world to see. It was the most damning indictment of the whole 9/11 spin from the white house.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Disturbed]

20. Nothing to do.

He sat there and then did a photo op afterwards. He was then told to make an announcement. Then he gave a speech while kindergarden kids were there but some say that he didn't want to scare the kids. Anybody think they weren't scared after he announced that two planes had crashed into the towers and that Amerika was under attack? He is not the Pres. Cheney is the Pres. That is why did nothing until he was told what to do.

[leesa]

21. Because he had read the script?

Why pretend he didn't know what was going on. It's quite obvious he knew what was going on and was doing exactly as he was told.

[Padraig18]

22. He knew the Secret Service would have them safe.

Some times the answer is pretty obvious.

:shrug:

[mbee]

23. His Daddy, John Major and I beleve Baker were in the basement

of the White House. My question is what were they doing there?
Did they know this was going down and were just waiting for it to be over? The whole thing has many questions the 9/11/ Commission I'm sure wouldn't touch with a 10 ft pole!
