False alarm roused Bush from his bed... thetimes.co.uk FROM MARTIN FLETCHER IN WASHINGTON ON THE night of September 11, President and Mrs Bush were roused from their bed and rushed down to the bunker below the White House because an aircraft had been spotted flying towards the President’s mansion, George W. Bush disclosed yesterday. Describing his day to Newsweek magazine, Mr Bush also recalled the moment that Andrew Card, his Chief of Staff, told him of the second attack on the World Trade Centre as he was waiting to speak at a Florida elementary school. He said that he tried not to look shocked. “I was very aware of the cameras,” he said. “America is under attack. I’m trying to absorb that knowledge. I have nobody to talk to. I’m sitting in the midst of a classroom with little kids and I realise I’m the Commander-in-Chief and America’s under attack.” He was whisked back to Air Force One, where he told aides: “We’re at war. That’s what we are paid for, boys. The first thing we had to do was understood what the heck was going on.” Air Force One embarked on an eight-hour odyssey before it was deemed safe for Mr Bush to return to Washington at 5.30pm. Still nettled by the criticism, he insisted: “I wanted to go back to Washington. There is strong advice that I did not, primarily from the VicePresident.” He held a National Security Council meeting in the emergency operations centre in a bunker below the building. Then, as they were going upstairs, a secret service agent said: “Mr President, we’re staying down here in the basement.” The President recalled: “I had taken a look at the bed which (Laura) points out was about a 1955 roll-out, pull-out. I said: ‘No, we’re not. I’m really tired. I’ve had a heck of a day and I’m going to sleep in my own bed.’ ” At 11.30pm, they were sound asleep. “I can hear a guy breathing quite heavily. ‘Mr President! Mr President! There’s an unidentified aircraft heading toward the White House.’ So we get out of bed. I’m actually in my running shorts with a T-shirt, old shoes. Grab Barney, grab Spot (the family dogs). Laura has no contacts, she’s holding on to my arm. We get into the elevator, straight down, in towards the conference room. “And I’m thinking: ‘What the heck is going on?’ Then an enlisted fellow walks in and goes: ‘Mr President, good news. It’s one of our own.’ ”

In the past, letter sending and terrorism have been linked to the Unabomber. A left wing environmental zealot. It's still speculation, but I see nothing spectacularly brilliant about sending Anthrax letters toward the extreme left wing of the Democrat party, in the hope it will point a finger toward militant militia elements in America, while simultaneously creating political rifts and destablilizing our unity of purpose. CNN is beamed worldwide, and Patrick Leahy has been a national figure of the left wing variety for many years. Additionally, many of the terrorist members lived in Canada and the U.S. So, discovering which political figures represent the left wing in America wouldn't be very difficult. One last point...we may find out years from now that Timothy McViegh actually worked for these terrorists. There is some speculation floating around about a possible link already. If so, they have a history of blaming militant militia groups and getting away with it. Repeating the same pattern, would be a possible scenario. If I were Ted Kennedy, I would be checking my mail very closely...

Do you think the increasingly violent Earth Liberation Front terrorists are more accurately describes as Right Wing fanatics or Left WIng fanatics. Does it really matter?

dear e.t. why do you slander me???? You lie when you accuse me of asserting that liberal thinkers are scum. What do I define as scum. mr. bill, he punched a woman in the face to have consensual sex. He lied as often as he breathed. e.t. who lies about what another says or has said. e.t is scum. Also scum are those individuals who make false accusation of sexual harassment. scum like mr. bill attempted to lie and accuse those he had abused of lying about his abuse. scum are any who know this and still defend mr. bill. Scum are those who lie about, or disparage the character of others as acceptable methods of debate or discussion. scum are not liberal thinkers. You are scum and you are not a liberal thinker. There is very little content I've seen in any of your posts that would suggest to me that your mind ever functions much above the state of a coma. All your posts are about whining self absorbed emotional rants about who has created all the victims in the world. e.t is a victim of being very stupid and being lazy lies to itself and others about whatever to make it feel better. e.t. no thought, just lies, stupidity and never any thinking. That's scum. you all have a nice no hear. tom watson tosiwmee
