JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Challenging President Bush's "maturity" as a wartime leader, Democratic nominee John F. Kerry said yesterday that he would have excused himself from the Florida classroom on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, where Bush continued reading to children after learning about the attacks on the Twin Towers.

"You bet we might have"

Ok butt wipe, I'll bet. But what should I bet on?

How about you playing both red and black on the same spin of the roulette wheel of terrorism!

"We might have" -- ewwww, you're soooooo tough and decisive. I bet you send shivers up Terezzzzzzza's spine!

Kerry is probably still trying to decide who he's going to vote for in this election.

As I understand it, Bush continued reading after being informed of the 1st tower collision when people thought it was an accident.

There you go, trying to cloud the issue with facts. If the partisan media wanted Americans to know the truth they would have pointed that out during their unbiased reporting of the franchurian candidate saying it.

Of COURSE Bush didn't act fast enough...If it had been KERRY, He'd have acted!!!

I'm SURE he could have ordered NYC Police & Fire Fighters to rush up to the floors that were hit, sift trough all of the burning bodies on the planes, and arrest the terrorists that DID it!

DORK!

I remember 9/11 very clearly. Everyone thought the first plane flying into the WTC was an accident. Even the

perky bitch katie couric

said it was a small plane that accidently hit the WTC on Good Morning America. The President left after 7 minutes. Just what was F'ing doing for those

UH, 40 MINUTES?

I was watching the Today show on 9-11, and they cut to a picture of the first plane in the WTC and were saying a "small plane" accidently hit the WTC, probably the pilot of the small plane dead. When they came back from commercial break, Matt Lauer was interviewing a woman on the street by the WTC, and she was pretty hysterical. She kept saying it was a huge! plane that hit the WTC, and Matt Lauer was dismissive, even saying at one point "I don't think so!" When the second plane hit, she began screaming live on TV and saying "It must be the air traffic controllers are losing control," etc. Nobody knew what was going on.

Everyone on Kerry's swiftboat got transferred to non-combat areas after John Kerry pulled off his 3-Cuts & Run scam.

I hadn't heard that before. Thanks for the news.

I'm SURE he could have ordered NYC Police & Fire Fighters to ... arrest the terrorists that DID it!

The Clintonian approach to handling terrorism -- as a law enforcement problem.

What did FDR do in the 7 minutes after Pearl Harbor, other than continuing to squelch transmission of the massive amount of warning data to Pearl Harbor's Naval Commanders?

What did LBJ do in the 7 minutes after the Gulf of Tonkin incident didn't happen?

What did JFK do in the 7 minutes after the execution of Diem that he gave permission for?

What did Bill Clinton do in the 7 YEARS after the first WTC bombing?

Democrats are absolutely shameless.

Let's make a commercial with Michael Moore talking about the 7 minutes and then John Kerry echoing the same words.

Announcer: do you want Michael Moore as the national security advisor to the President of the United States?

I think we all sat stunned. It was just to much to take in. Still is.

Someone post this on another thread:

"Here's what the Massachusetts Democrat (Kerry) said July 8 when Larry King asked where he was on 9/11, according to CNN's own transcript:

"'Nobody Could Think'

"I was in the Capitol. We'd just had a meeting - we'd just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle's office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon. And then word came from the White House, they were evacuating, and we were to evacuate, and so we immediately began the evacuation."

"How appropriate that Kerry lumps himself in with fellow left-wing non-thinkers such as Boxer, Daschle and Reid."
