Nice (ly staged) pic of * minutes after 9/11
Interesting examination of this pic on Huffington Post about this photo supposedly taken at 9:25 on the morning of 9/11:


Although everyone in the world, it seems, is familiar with the "Pet Goat" photos, I think this one -- though far lesser known -- is as much, if not even more scandalous.

According to his original pre-"attack on America" schedule, Bush was slated to give a speech to the Booker Elementary student body at approximately 9:30. So, thirty-nine minutes after the first crash (which Bush was aware of by approximately 8:55); and nineteen minutes after hearing about the second crash; and with the fate of America supposedly hanging in the balance, what do you suppose Bush had in front of him and was working on?

Yep, it's the speech he ended up writing, then delivering, four minutes later to 200 elementary school students, along with some teachers and a handful of reporters.

Michael Shaw goes on to explain why he thinks the shot was staged and directed (by Karl Rove):

5. Good catch coffeenap
LOL, the idiots -

and I don't remember Rove being with them.

In any event, it doesn't matter, they failed and continue to fail and I pray we can keep the nation together for the next 517 days 14 hours and 53 minutes.

:hi:

4. Rove's first thought- How can we use this politically???
and before anyone else knew that there was a game afoot while everyone else was coming together he set off to use this, the high mark of the George W. Bush's entire life, to crush his "competition".

7. Look at the clock on the back wall - it reads 10:30
Wasn't Bush on AF-1 by then? Wasn't it sitting on the ground waiting for him to decide where he would go and hide for the rest of the day?

16. Yes, it does, doesn't it?
So then, assuming the clock's right...

What does this mean? Obviously something is very wrong here.

9. this poster puts it really well:
Isn't it amazing that with all the damning evidence that no one seems able to indict or impeach this administration? Whether BushCo had a hand in 9/11 or just let it happen, it all boils down to the simple fact that they could not do their true business without Enemies. By invading and subsequently destroying Iraq, we have only created more. Most wonder why they would do this but need only look to our hungry Defense industry who cannot survive without Enemies. It is why we've been at one war or another since WWII

10. Waht is Busie boy reading?
This pic was up last week, and a poster zoomed in & read the papers in front of Bush. They are notes from a speech Bush was to give to the kids in the school in the next few minutes.

In short Bush STILL didn't care about 9/11 when this pic was taken.

National Security's Capt. Deborah Loewer. She's now an Admiral I've heard.

Also, from Paul Thompson's timeline of 9-11

"8:55 am

Captain Deborah Loewer, director of the White House Situation Room, is traveling in President Bush’s motorcade toward Booker Elementary School, when she learns of the first WTC crash from her deputy in the Situation Room at the White House. According to some reports, as soon as the motorcade reaches the school, Loewer runs from her car to Bush’s car, and informs Bush. Note that Bush maintains that he learns of the crash at a later time."

15. I Just Don't See It. It Just Looks Like An Uneventful And Harmless Photo To Me.
I tried. I really really tried to see the scandal in it. I just simply couldn't.

21. That's kinda the point- 25 minutes into 9/11, B*sh is still acting "uneventful".
They're actually looking at the Towers burning on that TV,
and Georgie is still working on his speech for the fourth
grade class, and posing for photos.
