Because he is not a trained search and rescue specialist?



And that ranks as one of the dumbest responses/rationalizations ever.

Sure, he wasn't a search and rescue specialist - he's just the (so-called) leader of this nation, and Commander in Cheif of our forces. Why should he be expected to actually get off his ass when we're attacked?


And you reckon Bush is useless so perhaps staying out of the way and letting the people in charge get the job done was a good thing.

Have you ever had a boss that liked to micro-manage? Even with the best intentions, these people can do more harm than good by interfering where they are not needed.

Say Bush, after hearing about the attacks, politely excused himself from the classroom. What do you propose he could have done differently to alter the aftermath of the attacks? Would emergency services have arrived sooner? Would more people have been evacuated out of the twin towers to safety? Would we have known the attackers identities sooner? Would that have made any difference?

Please don't say that the attacks would have never happened in the first place if Bush was doing his job. That is not the point. You dislike Bush because of his actions on 9/11 and that is what is presently being discussed.

Again with the rationalizations.... How sad.

Because, of course, all the best leaders stand there dumbfounded in a moment of crisis.

Do you really think there is no middle ground between doing nothing, and running off "half cocked"?

You may be a rightie wingnut douchbag, but you're not usually that fucking stupid, Finn.

You usually are.

Well, I don't believe he got the full breifing on the whole situation right there in the classroom, so I'd say step one would be get off his ass and make sure he was aware of all available information.

From a lock-stepping, "do as you're told" fucktard like yourself, I take that as a compliment.

So you do not have a problem with what Bush did, you have a problem with when Bush did it. If Bush had immediately run from the classroom and hid in his limo for half an hour, then you would be okay with his actions? There would be no tape of Bush in the classroom then. And when it comes down to it, we are speaking of optics here, nothing more.

Bush is looking better and better.
Eh, I decided to post in-kind. Pretty much like Rap and Jongsstraw and sometimes even you. Funny how it looks horrible when it's coming from someone who's not "your own kind" huh?

Anyway, I decided not to continue in this vein because you know what they say about wrestling pigs in the mud.... So I'm gonna go back to my sweet reasonable self and let YOU spew the bile and crap!

Late night, Brakes lock,
Hear the tires squeal,
Red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel,
My world goes Black before I
Feel an Angel lift me up,
And I open Bloodshot eyes,
Into fluorescent White,
Flip the Siren, Hit the Lights,
Close the doors and I am Gone

The Band of the week is... Thrice

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.
