Gus > Now we don't have any evidence of phone conversations between President Bush and military brass on 911 and I think we'll never find any because Bush probably didn't want to handle that crisis over the phone and managed to stay out of the loop until it was over (that is, until noon).
Since you wish to speculate about it, it is conceivable that Cheney had not officially been appointed Commander in Chief and when approached by the generals he told them to wait until the Commander, himself, becomes available. Why should he have assumed responsibility for making decisions on that fateful day when someone even better -- namely, nobody -- was available? With W in the school, and then missing, Cheney ducking responsibility and complaining of chest pains, the National Security Adviser locked in the bathroom preening herself in the mirror, and Rumsfeld putting out fires and hiding in the smoke at the Pentagon, the "terrorist" attack could go ahead as planned -- and without anyone around to blame.
> who is the Commander-in-Chief of the US military?
Yours truly, of course.

> Who was the US Commander-in-Chief on September 11, 2001 specifically?
Yours truly, of course -- and doing his special trick -- missing. In fact, he was probably even told to hide away because his life was in danger.
>>Bush would offer no explanation for his absence and, as he had throughout the campaign, refused to discuss his military service during the Vietnam War. Why would a man who was running for the office of Commander and Chief of the US Armed Forces refuse to discuss his service in the military? Why didn't the public and press take notice? Their attention that day was focused on something else. << |
