On December 4, 2001, at a townhall meeting in Orlando, Florida, in response to a question from a third grader, President Bush described his reaction to the initial 9-11 news as follows:
"I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident.
But I was whisked off there, I didn't have much time to think about it. And I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my Chief of Staff, who is sitting over here, walked in and said, 'A second plane has hit the tower, America is under attack.' "
A month and a day later, at a townhall meeting in Ontario, California, President Bush described his experience like this:
" Anyway, I was sitting there, and my Chief of Staff -- well, first of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake. And something was wrong with the plane, or -- anyway, I'm sitting there, listening to the briefing, and Andy Card came and said, 'America is under attack.' "
By the way, President Bush could not have seen the first plane hit the tower live on commercial television, since no television stations were covering that area when the first plane hit. this is the evidence that President Bush of had advanced knowledge of the attacks

9/11 was an important event in the history of USA and every American and the world took a serious view of this cruel act. This brought emotions to a very high level and to keep the nation united and strong, drastic steps were needed . President Bush has the responsibility and his war against terrorism was a big step requiring huge resources. Tears were real expressing his emotional state.

You need to catch up a little, the Iraq Report was old news. Some actually care what happened on Sept. 11 and don't use it like you are.

Only a tasteless swine would use 9/11 to bolster his own stupid misguided political propaganda.Let's see how you feel when a terrorist kills someone that you love.Or a rapist attacks someone you love because he was paroled

No they were probably sad at the rememberances. But they surely were vindicated by the broadcast that day of the mini series their propagandists had written.

I sure would hate to be in the public eye as they are and never be able to make everyone happy. I only wish they would stop trying to (make everyone happy) and man-up the way they need to
