"After Washington-----Chicago would have been next."

Yeah, that might have been the case.

Here's how I understand what happened.

Bush was told BEFORE he went into that classroom that one of the Twin Towers had been hit.

Don't you think it would have been WISE to really get ALL the facts on that BEFORE you ever went into that classroom? You don't have the tallest buildings in the U.S. HIT by commercial airliners everyday so I would have sent my aides into that classroom and asked the children to wait a while.

But Bush didn't do that, he went in like nothing had happened and started reading to the kids.

Then, while he was in there an aide told him the OTHER tower had been hit. Did it take a GENIUS to figure out SOMETHING was going on here and CHICAGO COULD BE NEXT????

HOW comforted should Chicagoans have been knowing that New York had been ATTACKED and THEY could be next but Bush was STILL sitting there reading "My Pet Goat"??

Then Bush went to hide and Cheney went to hide and Congress went to hide.

From there on it was pretty much chaos. Should they ground all the planes? Should they shoot down the planes that were already in the air?

If you think that was maximum efficiency from our elected officials then I have to respectfully disagree.
