QuickTime clip of Bush reading "My Pet Goat," 9/11 (linked by Plaid Adder)
First and foremost, read Plaid Adder's new column "Unexcused Absence."



http://www.democraticunderground.com/plaidder/04/30.html

When you get to this paragraph:

"Between the photo-ops and the fund-raisers and the campaign appearances and the trips to the three different vacation spots, it is perhaps not surprising that so many of the moments of crisis that we've faced during his presidency have occured when he was somewhere other than where you might expect a President to be. The big one, of course, was September 11, which found him sitting in an elementary school classroom in Florida listening to the students read The Pet Goat."

Click on "The Pet Goat."

That takes you to "The Ledge Of Liberty."

http://www.ledgeofliberty.com/2004/06/mystery_of_the_.html

Scroll down and look for the comment "Watch the video HERE"

Click "HERE."

The clip opens with Andy Card whispering in Bush's ear (although not in close-up, so you do not see his facial reaction). Bush then sits for a stirring and patriotic seven-minute reading of "My Pet Goat," proclaiming at the end, "VERY impressive!"

Get ready to get PISSED OFF.

2. You know, it isn't so much the 7 minutes that piss me off
Although they do (piss me off that is)... but they pale when compared to the 20+ minutes that Little Bush spent in a photo op following the reading. It never made sense to me. How could a President just sit AFTER being told the nation was under attack? How could he wait over 30 minutes?

Then I read the Stanley Hilton (former Bob Dole Chief of Staff)interview transcript: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2351217

Now, I understand. He thought it was just another drill.

3. finally someone posts a site dedicated to
that failure. But truly the MOST Damning part is the fact that HE WENT IN AFTER he knew about the FIRST PLANE. You can see the 'full' video at http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/schoolvideo.html

THis link has the footage before Card tells him.
the 25 mb quicktime has him arriving at the school @ around 8:55 WHEN EVERYBODY already knew about the 1st plane THEN has him walking in to the class... are you telling me nobody around him knew ?????!

be patient it's worth the download.

I can't watch more than 30 seconds without barfing at Chimpy's current popularity.

Half of our country is FUBAR, IMO.

5. Bush Froze Cause He KNEW 9/11 Attack Was Due to Bush Family TIES
to Saudi Arabia corrupt commercial interests, yet Bush Family Texas Mafia pandering to Israel out of the other side of their mouth. We know the Bush Family very well, and know what we are talking about here!

This is what caused WTC 9/11! The Islamic Terrorists wanted to hit Bush II hard when he got in the White House, to send a signal to the Bush Family, that they were NOT going to use Bush II to accelerate their American corruption in the Middle East.

AND, they wanted Bush to start a Holy War in the Middle East, so the Terrorists could incite the 1 Billion Islamic followers, and have a valid religious reason to wipe the U.S. off the face of the planet.

THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE PEOPLE. I spent 3 years consulted Middle East businessmen and dipolmats in the ‘80’s, and well understand the U.S. – Middle East situation.

Think about it, why did the Islamic Terrorists, most of them Saudis, hit us during the Bush Administration, the most War Hawk Adm in 50 years, instead of the Clinton Adm. The Terrorists KNEW the Bush Administration would react, and they are NOT stupid!

6. one thought though
IT is VERY strange that
SOmeone told * BEFORE HE WENT IN. ans THEN...

1. Noone around * felt like they had to evacuate him.
&
2. Andy Card told him something(we'll never know exactly) then moved away WITHOUT WAITING FOR A RESPONSE!

HUH???

How did this happen?? Card knew? Ari Fleischer was near the cameraguy and he didn't advise the prez to leave? and if you read some reports they mention that ROVE was also there at the school... he obviously knew what was happening yet the TOP adviser failed to react... yeah right!

It's stunning that they are not charged with criminal negligence.
