An Interesting Day:
President Bush's Movements and Actions on 9/11


By Allan Wood and Paul Thompson

"It was an interesting day." - President Bush, recalling 9/11




Both images taken at 9:03 a.m.: Bush takes part in a meaningless photo-op, knowing full well the US is already under attack.

At approximately 8:48 a.m. on the morning of September 11, 2001, the first pictures of the burning World Trade Center were broadcast on live television. The news anchors, reporters, and viewers had little idea what had happened in lower Manhattan, but there were some people who did know. By that time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon, the White House, the Secret Service, and Canada's Strategic Command all knew that three commercial airplanes had been hijacked. They knew that one plane had been flown deliberately into the World Trade Center's North Tower; a second plane was wildly off course and also heading toward Manhattan; and a third plane had abruptly turned around over Ohio and was flying back toward Washington, DC.

So why, at 9:03 a.m. - fifteen minutes after it was clear the United States was under terrorist attack - did President Bush sit down with a classroom of second-graders and begin a 20-minute pre-planned photo op? No one knows the answer to that question. In fact, no one has even asked Bush about it.

Bush's actions on September 11 have been the subject of lively debate, mostly on the internet. Details reported that day and in the week after the attacks - both the media reports and accounts given by Bush himself - have changed radically over the past 18 months. Culling hundreds of reports from newspapers, magazines, and the internet has only made finding the "truth" of what happened and when it happened more confusing. In the changed political climate after 9/11, few have dared raise challenging questions about Bush's actions. A journalist who said Bush was "flying around the country like a scared child, seeking refuge in his mother's bed after having a nightmare" and another who said Bush "skedaddled" were fired. We should have a concise record of where President Bush was throughout the day the US was attacked, but we do not.

What follows is an attempt to give the most complete account of Bush's actions - from Florida to Louisiana to Nebraska to Washington, DC

3. Great research by Paul and Allen

This tidbit really amazes me:

Surface-to-air missiles were placed on the roof of the resort , and an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) plane circled high overhead.

But I thought Condi told us they never expected that planes would be used as weapons. I wonder if they were concerned about the flying circus down the coast in Venice?

4. wonder if a hit on bush by cheney's folks was part of the package

and they never could do a clean job of it.

5. I wondered that too. Cheney or the Mossad or our military?

6. maybe cheney. he's certainly slimy enough.

bush is a stooge, pure and simple. a puppet. an empty suit. a nut case, too.

7. Re: maybe cheney. he's certainly slimy enough

What does that say about those who not only will vote for this nut case but support everything he does?

Will they ever realize that with Bush and Republicans, they are voting to cut their own throats?

8. Skolnik scares the hell out of me, but...

This post about Bush regarding 9/11 gave me pause.

Bush slipped up twice in public speeches and admitted seeing the first plane hit, which he did by virtue of cameras set up by fed. agents to give him a direct feed in Florida, where he feigned surprise, horror and sorrow;

I just assumed, like many others, that Bush lied about seeing that first plane hit the WTC because the footage did not hit tv until 9/12. If you look at Bush's "interesting day" in the light of this allegation....
