9/11: Bush* ran and hid in a hole!

Every time I see that Bush* 911 TV ad (played for free on every news channel, BTW), all I can visualize is Bush running away and hiding in a hole all day while thousands died.

We need to plaster the facts all over our towns:

9/11: Bush ran and hid in a hole!

uses the actual film of him that day, to remind the public that he wasn't the Dirty Harry-style tough guy he imagines himself being. Give me a break. He looked scared sh_tless. I believe that this bunch of crap on his part opens the door for all of the comparisons between Kerry and him in the balls department. Kerry was wounded and facing gun-fire, and headed into the danger zone to rescue people; bush was not wounded, did not face any danger, and put his tail between his legs and got away from those who were killed or injured as fast as Air Force One could take him.

he ran and hid until the dust settled DAYS later. Then he came out of his hiding place and said he was gonna make the terrsstss pay and make them deader than dead, even if he had to kill a million innocent people to make it happen.

yeah, that's leadership! what a WEAK "president"

and a picture of Saddam and point out that they both hid in a hole when their countries were attacked, Bush just had a nicer hole.

and who addressed the country when this happened? Karen Hughes!!

well before the unelected chicken hawk did.

clueless American thinks the chimp did us proud that day. I had a big argument with a repuke acquaintance last summer who couldn't understand why I wasn't happy that * was "in charge" on 9-11. He simply refused to believe the truth that chimpy continued to sit in the classroom and then fled to Nebraska. Said I couldn't possibly be right because the chimp was such a great "leader."

I think one ad that would be devastating would be to show LBJ arriving back in DC the night of Nov. 22, 1963 calmly facing the camera and reassuring the nation that the adults were in charge. Contrast that with footage of the chimp continuing to sit in the classroom and a few snippets of news anchors that day trying to determine where the hell he was. Kerry should make damn sure the American people finally learn the truth.

It's easy to make the case that for security the President should not have gone directly back to Washington D.C. from Sarasota that awful day. It's impossible to make the case that a real leader would sit dumbstruck in a classroom for twenty minutes after having been informed that our nation was under attack. Twenty minutes that arguably could have saved some lives had a real leader been able to respond.

a couple planes flew into the WTC.

right after the first plane hit.

There is no case to be made for the frightened look on Bush's face when the pre-recorded tape was released.

There is no case to be made for the hours that day when no one knew where he was, what was going on or whether or not the attack was over.

If it wasn't for Rudy Giuliani we would have been leaderless that day.

There is zero excuse for him not speaking live to the American people until 8pm (or 9pm) that night.

I will never, ever forgive or forget his cowardice on that day.

The democrats needs to focus on Bush's failed leadership and promises. Taking us to an unnecessary war in Iraq has not advanced the war on terror or helped us capture Osama bin Laden. It has been a costly distraction--in lives and treasure. Bush is bankrupting our future and seriously weakening our military's preparedness.

Bushco has got to go in November!

We heard that whole boatload of crap that they were worried about the security of Air Force 1 on 9/11.

Horsecrap.

Air Force 1 had fully armed fighter escort within minutes of taking off from Florida. No civilian airliner could have gotten within 100 miles of Air Force One at that point.

Birds getting sucked into the engines of Air Force One were a greater threat to it than any of the hijacked airliners could ever have been once AF1 had fighter escort.

Presidents continually override security arrangement made by the Secret Service for factors ranging from simple convenience to political cinsiderations. Presidents can and do regularly not follow security arrangements.

Waiting for fighter escort for Air Force 1 met all the real security needs facing Air Force 1 on 9/11. Once armed fighters were detailed to AF1, The President should have headed for Andrews AFB. To do otherwise was cowardice, pure and simple.

Also, we shouldn't politicize 911 because it's morally wrong and we definitlely don't want to get accused of politicizing 911 because it's politically wrong.

Hopefeully, when the commission's report comes out in August, the media will latch onto the details of that day and the days immediatley following 911. There should be lot's of stuff there. I know FAA records were handed over under threat of subpeona. There is probably some interesting information on timelines there.

We should take the high road and let the media do the dirty work on this one. The media will be hungry for every detail regaurding the events following 911 because the public will be hungry for details. They love this kind of story because it's easy to understand and it's sensational and emotional.

When he felt safe, he came back.
