The biggest lie
Forget "mission accomplished". Forget "I will be a uniter, not a divider". Forget "We will capture Osama bin Laden".

*'s biggest lie:


September 11, 2001. Chief of Staff Andrew Card whispers the news to President Bush in Sarasota, Florida.


September 11, 2001. Sarasota, Florida. President Bush's reaction caught on camera.
Chief of Staff Andrew Card just told the President that a *second* airliner just hit the other World Trade Tower. And you know what that means...

3. the BushCo propaganda machine would have us believe
that Bush acted heroically and decisively on 9/11.

When the exact opposite is the DOCUMENTED fact of the matter.

He panicked, froze, and wasted nearly 1/2 hour (perhaps more) sitting in a classroom reading "My Pet Goat"

The second plane had hit the towers, he had been officially informed, and he did NOTHING while America was under attack.

Bush was blatantly AWOL on 9/11 when the USA needed a leader.

That is the BIG LIE.

4. I see what you are saying
Think the lies that led us into Iraq are more significant, however. Although I suppose one could argue that without the halo of heroism we might never have gone into Iraq.

5. What Bush really did on 9/11

(9:06-9:16 a.m.): Bush Reads Pet Goat Story for Nearly Ten Minutes; Warned Not to Talk

President Bush and Sandra Kay Daniels read the goat story while the media watches.

President Bush, having just been told of the second WTC crash, stays in the Booker Elementary School Classroom, and listens as 16 Booker Elementary School second-graders take turns reading “The Pet Goat.” It's a simple story about a girl's pet goat. They are just about to begin reading when Bush is told of the attack. One account says that the classroom is then silent for about 30 seconds, maybe more. Bush then picks up the book and reads with the children “for eight or nine minutes.” In unison, the children read aloud, “The—Pet— Goat. A—girl—got—a—pet—goat. But—the—goat—did— some—things—that—made—the—girl's—dad—mad.” And so on. Bush mostly listens, but does ask the children a few questions to encourage them. At one point he says, “Really good readers, whew! ... These must be sixth-graders!” In the back of the room, Press Secretary Ari Fleischer catches Bush's eye and holds up a pad of paper for him to read, with “ DON' T SAY ANYTHING YET” written on it in big block letters. (Note that three articles claim that Bush leaves the classroom at 9:12 a.m.) However, a videotape of the event lasts for “at least seven additional minutes” and ends before Bush leaves. (The timing of this entry is a rough approximation based mostly on the Tampa Tribune estimate. Much of this video footage is shown in Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.
