"With Bush On 9/11"

New York Times
July 9, 2004

To the Editor: Re "Moore's Public Service," by Paul Krugman (column, July 2):

I am not sure where Paul Krugman and Michael Moore were on 9/11, but I was with President Bush for almost two hours. As commander of the 8th Air Force, I was present when President Bush stopped to deliver a message to the American people at Barksdale Air Force Base. Throughout my career, I have seen the best and the worst of people under extreme pressure. President Bush arrived at Barksdale deeply saddened and obviously concerned, but he was a man on a mission, courageous and decisive. He was totally in command. I have kept relatively quiet about my experiences with the president on 9/11, but I cannot sit back and allow Hollywood and the media to rewrite history. I was there, and I consider myself a good judge of leadership. We were fortunate that President Bush was our commander in chief on 9/11.
