Instead, they just continued doing what they were doing. They could have shown more leadership. How in gods name could the head of the Joints Chiefs of Staff General Myers continue a meeting throughout the 9/11 events?!? Doesn't that ring rather odd to you? Isn't his job to defend our country, yet he just continued meeting with Senator Max Cleland throughout the entire event? That is the one thing that really seems odd to me. Also, the fact that when Bush was informed that a plane had hit the WTC (I know he didn't know it was a terrorist attack at that point) he reacted like he was being given the score of the Knicks game. No shock that the biggest building in America had been struck by a plane, no spontaneous questions regarding the situation. And, no rush for the exit to ensure the President's safety and to put him in a position to cooridinate our defenses. Strange days indeed.
