Politics : PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I just looked at my Newsweek special edition from Sept. 11. There are several pictures of the second plane, but no pictures of the first plane. It took a while for the very few first plane pictures to appear. Certainly more than 20 minutes. Perhaps the President should have stopped reading the goat story after the second attack, and tried to do something to protect the Pentagon from being attacked 40 minutes later?

The official Sept. 11 story. President Bush is watching TV in the hallway of an elementary school (all elementary schools have TV in the hallway.) He is the only person in the world to see the first plane crash into the WTC live, and then thinks only about "bad pilots". This in spite of the fact that he was recently briefed about Bin Laden's desire to hijack American planes, and that the White House had just issued a warning of an imminent terrorist attack. He goes into the classroom and starts reading a goat story, only to be interrupted by word of another bad pilot. His response is to become briefly somber, and then continue reading. 40 minutes later a third plane hits the Pentagon, and the President decides to jump on a plane and start zig-zagging to protect himself. This story wreaks to high heaven, but no doubt the press corps will continue to brush it under the carpet.
