1. Wow
Have they announced at all if they believe this was an accident or an attack?

7. "No reason to believe it was an attack, but they don't know for sure."
So they're doing this as "a precaution."

Meanwhile, President Bush is on page 7 of My Pet Goat II.

12. Monitor needs wiping stat!
OMG, that was very funny in a morbid, still-can't-believe-he-did-that kind of way.

I'll never get over the fact that he sat on his ass, incommunicado, after being given the message that the nation was under attack. Never. Why that didn't become the image of him instead of the bullhorn bullshit "iconic" image is beyond me. He choked in a big way and people in the south tower died because of it.

I'd also like to know why the Secret Service didn't haul his ass out of there pronto. Why was Chimpy ALLOWED to sit there, wasting precious minutes reading that stupid book in the first place?Cheney was hustled out his chair by agents who practically dragged him to the bunker. Better yet, he knew about the first crash BEFORE he went in the classroom. Why didn't he get on the phone and talk to everyone and anyone who could help him determine what was going on?
Something doesn't add up. But your post still cracked me up so much that I did have to wipe off my desk and monitor. Gallows humor I guess.
:)

8. Pentagon still saying they think it was an accident
but they are scrambling fighter planes "just in case."

This per CNN.

6. But the media will continue to say...."this is NOT a Terrorist Attack"...
Cause that would make BushCo look bad! Afterall, the election mantra is "no Terrorist attack in 5 years"......so brace yourself......no matter what they say, it won't be concluded that it is a terrorist attack unless they find another plane. Until further notice, this will be sold as an "accident"!

10. Like Tom Delay making the Homeland Defense Dept. track Democrats.
A cheap and shameful political trick by the White House at taxpayers' expense.

11. How ridiculous. "Precaution" my arse.
Try "fearmongering technique" and you're getting close the being on the right page.
