O'Donnell to Card: "Only 5 Min. Bush Delay"
MSNBC's Nora O'Donnell continues to shill foir the White House.

In her interview of former Chief of Staff Andrew Card she reviewed the events at the elementary school after Card informed the Chimpster that "America is under attack".

She starts off by stating "the president took seven...er..five minutes before he responded". It was a clear attempt to shave off 2 minutes of Bush's already slow response time to a nation under attack.

1. How many flights of stairs can you run down...
in 7 minutes? 5? 2? Might timely instructions to evacuate from Bushco have resulted in fewer deaths? Maybe.

4. The "generally accepted" amount of time is seven minutes, and she knew it.
She stopped in mid-sentence to intentionally shave off a couple of minutes.

12. I got your point...
(I saw F911) and I was raising another one that occurred to me after seeing the Press for Truth news conference. One woman said her daughter might well have made it out alive if she had started leaving the building sooner (she actually got out and was hit with debris near the building).

2. He didn't respond in 5-7 minutes
He hung around the damned school for a half-hour.

He had no response.

And we must ask why the Directory of the White House Situation (War) Room was with Bush that day. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x114370)

6. I've been listening to the live web feed from CNN all day.
It's in real time - and hours later, there was still NO PUBLIC RESPONSE from Bush. Hell, the Taliban issued a statement to American children that they stand with America before anyone even knew where he was.

BEFORE he even picked up My Pet Goat.

13. So did he just verify that they saw footage of a plane hitting the tower?
If so, he's the only person in the entire world who saw it live on television. The video tape didn't surface until much later in the day.

Did they have a special live feed? If so, that proves LIHOP at the very least.

3. Unbelievable
First, Armstrong Williams asks does anyone really know what Bush said to Card that morning, and now Nora O'Donnell tries to shorten Bush's reaction time...

Amazing.

Don't these people know we have a videotape that shows (1) Bush didn't say anything to Card, and (2) Bush sat motionless and expressionless for at least 7 minutes...!!!

Absolutely amazing...

14. Bush didn't say anything, and Card didn't expect him to
Card whispered in Bush's ear and then walked away

funny way to act when "America is under attack", no?
