Bush: "I knew we were at war when they attacked us."

Bush Lobs Michael Moore a Softball
Bush today:

I knew we were at war when they attacked us. As a matter of fact, I was down here in Florida. It didn’t take long to figure out what was going on.

13. And Over SEVEN MONTHS To Ignore The Threat!
...and over seven months to ignore the threat Al Qaeda posed to American citizens.

Wasn't America lucky that "the adults" were in charge on September 11th, 2001?
:sarcasm:

22. That was only the 7 minutes captured on film.
He refused to deviate from his scheduled departure time to address the attack, over twenty minutes later.

5. Bush is a blinking idiot.
Boy, you can sure tell from that picture that Bush has really AGED recently. In his recent pics, he looks about 150 years old.

16. Can't he go suck the life blood from orphans or something?
I thought there were contingencies. Wasn't Cheney added to the ticket due to his proficiency in the Dark Arts?

20. Wait, I thought when he saw the first plane
hit the tower on TV... he said it must have been a bad pilot.

And if anyone would know bad pilots, it would be shrubby.

21. Umm, I guess that's why Georgie Porgie...
... played up the "that's one bad pilot" story for weeks afterwards.

Maybe he didn't really figure it out that quickly.

No point in believing anything Bush says. This instance should not be any different.

23. Honestly he looked like he pissed his pants in that classroom when told
of the attacks. The little moran was probably out of the loop on this. No surprise really.

27. Don't kid yourself
He was in the loop. The attack was supposed to be over by 9:00 AM but Flight 93 got delayed and everyone got stuck stalling for half an hour.

then why didn't he get off his ass and do something?

29. he was a coward -- flyin around in his plane --
shittin himself when our world was going up in smoke and ashes.

and so to return the favor dealt us -- he gave us tora bora and iraq.

billions and billions{carl sagan?} of dollars later, near three more thousand american lives later -- what do we have -- chaos and murder in iraq -- starvation and record opium production in afghanastan -- bin laden on the loose -- more terrorists being created every day -- and the beat goes on...
