Why should the President have gone directly to Washington DC? Is that the only place a President can function? It is certainly a place where people can be targeted. Clearing the sky doesn't mean clearing a threat.

You assume that people have a handle on everything as soon as it happens. After the first plane, there was another...and another...and another

There weren't truck and car bombs going off, but nobody knew there weren't. Nobody knew is shoulder fired missiles were in any areas or any other type of threat.

Nothing is a simple as you pretend it should be. It is probably good you aren't involved in threat assessments.

What a perfect idiot identification event cue.
"They knew exactly what was happening .."

Followed by another perfect idiot identification event cue.
"GWB should have gone directly to Wash DC .."

I felt Maria's comment was quite good.

The Art of Slip-Sliding

<<..."What is even more significant in terms of news value are those highly-placed, influential Republicans who have abandoned Bush&Co. When William F. Buckley, the founding editor of National Review, the bible of rockhard conservatism, can denounce Bush's Iraq adventure and competence in print, you know a turning point has been reached on the right.

So many diplomats, retired generals, corporate leaders, ex-officials in the Reagan and Bush 1 administrations likewise have gone public in recent weeks with their reservations about Bush&Co. It's clear these elite Republicans believe that their financial and political interests are jeopardized by the radical, bumbling crew currently in charge, and that they, and the country as a whole, will be better served by getting those guys out of the White House, even if it means putting a more centrist candidate like Kerry into power.

Karl Rove and his minions are not stupid. They see what is happening across the country, the steady erosion of fed-up conservatives from the Bush camp, the loss of public support for the war, the lackluster job situation, the poll numbers showing Kerry slowly pulling ahead in one toss-up state after another. They know their time in power could be limited, and that criminal indictments may well follow their defeat."...>>
