I walked into the bonus room in time to see the second plane hit the WTC.
I stood there for the next 12 hours.
You didn't answer the question: what would you have done?
You are a complete dolt; the entire time YOU were counting, I was doing something -- namely finding articles to prove you're wrong.
The world didn't stand still, bucko.
-------------------------------------------------------
Was that his only alternative?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
he felt it was "important to project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening."
------------------------------------------------------
How was sitting there going to give him a better understanding?
----------------------------------------------
I'm not pleased with the seven minutes wait under those circumstances. That doesn't make me a Moore cheerleader in spite of how some yahoos here want to twist it. Those long minutes give the left irresistable ammo and they are using it. What's wrong with pointing that out?
He was gathering his thoughts, with full knowledge that his staff was taking care of the things that needed to be taken care of -- while he mentally decided how HE, as our LEADER, should handle it.
It appears to me that YOU are the one using them as ammo, even after numerous discussions of what exactly was going on.
--------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't counting. That was someone else posting but I'm sure you knew that.
----------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
Not on the 11th either. Thank you for making my point.
Irresistable ammo? More like idiotic ammo that you drink down like Jonestown Kool-Aid.
By the way all knowing omnipotent one, what would you have done?
----------------------------------------------------
On that day, at that time I spent the first seven minutes on the phone with my son listening to him describe the bodies falling out of number One and landing fifty yardfs away. That is until number two was hit and he dropped his phone and ran. Then I tried to get hold of my wife who was also down there. Then I called my family members trying to find out about my brothers who were also there. Then I called my sister to make sure that she knew to get over to our mother's and comfort her. I did not sit on my hands or stare out the window for twelve hours. And within 26 hours after the first impact I was in there myself digging.
Unless your point was that everything that could be done was being done, your point is pointless.
Well, then, it's a good thing you weren't the president that day, isn't it, since all YOU were interested in the the first minutes was finding out if your family was okay.
Well, he just told us; he spent the first hour, at the least, calling around to see if his family was okay.
If he had been president, we'd be seeing a film by Michael Moore about WTC on the PHONE all day long.
---------------------------------------
Considering four of them were there I'd say my priorities were pretty much in order.
And I surmise you like moore blame Bush and not the terrorists.
And George Bush had 283,000,000 people just like you to think about.

Have the courtesy to address the one whom you wish to insult.
If either of you two brainiacs have a problem with me taking care of my family you can kiss my royal Irish a**.
Are either of you two men? Healthy? Got a car? What did you do to help? I worked with guys who drove non-stop from as far away as Alabama and Oklahoma to dig. They made it in. Where were you? Did you even try? Or did you sit on the couch one hand on the remote the other in your shorts...swing away cupcakes. I'm done with you.
I directed every word of that to you in the post right above it.
I see; it's fine for you to trash George W. Bush's actions when you have NO idea what was really going on, but once YOU get challenged it's a completely different story.

What was your hero michael moore doing. Just my opinion he was saying hooray!
