After reading what was available at the link to Anchoress. If this will shut the fools up, I am all for it. Then again brilliant children like Lee Ward (not to be confused with the Lee ward in Belleview) would deny facts as it would tend to contradict their fantasy world.

#6) Bush's little goat.

Anchor forgot to mention that Bush stayed at the school for over 30-minutes (after he was notified) and maybe for even an hour after the first attack. If you consider the US was in a state of war do you believe that an elementary school was the safest place for the President?

If you believe, as was reported at the time, that the President was a target, and that the Presidents agenda for the day was public knowledge that hiding in a school was in the best interest of the nation and the children?

Wont somebody please think of the children!! Commander and coward.

Lori
Something about the the phrase "President Cheney" gives me comfort.
So, if this impeachment gets traction, I can enjoy a President just like the one we have: one who does not defer to the David Gregory's of the MSM and acts on principal; one who has already "been Somebody" per Reagan; and, a President who can truly say KMA , and not worry of the consequences of,to the Surrender Majority

I think that is great idea, but better yet is to impeach both, so Nancy becomes President.

BarneyG2000, Your time is way off and you should look up how long the dimmi hero's who weren't in a postion to scare a bunch of little chidren were 'frozen' in place and couldn't think what to do next. The direct quotes of the cowardly democrats are available. Look them up.

You always need a history lesson so go look at this (all facts) and learn a little about how peaceful the Islamic religion of peace was even prior to 9-11. (http://www.terrorismawareness.org/know-about-jihad/) What has happened since we went after them. We have fought a war where more people are killed by drivers with a cell phone stuck in their ear every day than are killed in combat in any month. That's real effective warfare and I salute the men and women fighting it, and those that make the plans.
It looks like everyone is doing the right thing except the democrats and their communist news (what a joke) reporters.

The "We're gonna clean up corruption... as long as it's not ours" candidate? Most ethical congress in history, as long as you've got a very particular definition of ethics? Promising reforms like crazy, but never delivering them?

You REALLY want her as President before 2008?

You must really want the Dems to lose it all in '08, don't ya?

Barney, get your story straight. On one hand you say Bush was "hiding" at the school and on the other you say he was putting the kids at danger because everyone knew that is where he was. Both are not possible. He could not have been "hiding" if everyone knew he was there.

Anyway, there is this really cool outfit called the secret service and they wear snazzy black suits and dark sunglasses and talk into these little "Britney mics" and they do security sweeps of the places the President visits so I am pretty sure the school was well secured. What was probably more risky was figuring out how to safely move him from there until all the planes had been grounded and/or accounted for. Don't you guys realize that when you start that "My Pet Goat" talk you only show how unserious you are about the subject. There is absolutely nothing Bush could have done that day that would have satisfied those on the left. You would gain a whole lot of credibility if you did not find fault with every single thing the man says or does.

It's laughable to think that the right has any take on public opinion since they have been wrong every step of the way for 5 years, but they seriously underestimate the hatred out there for this guy.

See... about 70% of Americans realize that this guy is really fxxxing up our country. The other 30% are submissive types like here at Wizbang that would bow down and worship him if he shit his pants at a press conference.

Why do you think Boehner was crying.

It is truly fascinating to see the Bush submissives rally around their moron. Having recently re-read "They Thought They Were Free" it is a stunning thing to see it happen in America.

The Commander-in Chief was told the nation was under attack and he chose, he was not told, to continue to sit and listen to school children read a story about an imaginery pet goat for at least seven minutes without displaying the slightest bit of curiosity about WTF was happening! Have you seen the entire seven minute tape-uninterrupted? It's incredible and chilling... Bush laid bare- a simpering incurious fool--without a clue.

B'google , dr rock & "donnie" fit what is called -----------------------------(you fill in the blank.

Dear jhow66 ---- Your last post makes no sense. Why don't you fill in your own f'n blank then explain it to the rest of us.

Good idea google, then some of us would take up arms, go to Washington and hang the bitch for treason. Lava, I'll bet you are facinated by contemplating your navel. Donnie, unless you are blessed with super hearing, there is no way in hell you know what the President was told. That just makes you a bald face liar. Go figure. I understand John Kerry had his head up his ass for over an hour, after 9/11. Just how much of this BS do you expect us to take. You, on the left must know you are lying. If not, you must seek immediate thrapy of the mental kind. Cuz some you are friggin nuts.

Ah Keerist, Mr, Ragshaft! Andrew Card has testified, under oath, and has never averred, telling POTUS- "A second plane has hit the WTC...America is under attack." And then began the seven minutes of....nothing. A true hero!

Lorie, the weapon of choice that day were commercial jet liners, or did you forget?

Please donnie-
Would you have preferred he ran screaming into the hallway? I as a parent would rather have someone not freak my kids out than blow them off. I guess your approach would have been to further terrorize them, just as our enemies would like? What, if he had left the classroom, that would have prevented the World Trade Center from collapsing or saved the Pentagon? You're just looking for something to complain about.

BTW, I am blessed with super hearing, and can disclose that the pet goat was at the tippy-top of dubya's concerns. Bless him for not frighten' them children!

That's right, donnie,
We should have sent him back into Washington D.C., which was under attack. That would have been the rational response!
/sarc off

"..and maybe for even an hour after the first attack." by Barneyg

"BarneyG2000, Your time is way off.." by scrapie

Oh really scrapie? How about this?

8:47 a.m.: NORAD informed of American Airlines Flight 11 striking the World Trade Center.

8:51 a.m.: Bush arrives at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida for a photo op with 16 second graders. He is there to promote his administration's new bill on education.

9:05 a.m.: Andrew Card walks up to Bush while he is listening to a Goat Story with 16 second graders in Sandra Kay Daniels's class at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Card whispers in his ear "A second plane has hit the World Trade Center. America is under attack."

9:30 a m.: Bush, speaking to the nation from Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, says the country has suffered an "apparent terrorist attack" and "a national tragedy." He would chase down, "those folks who committed this act."

9:45 a.m.: Bush's motorcade leaves the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida headed for Air Force One at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.

That's about an hour in my math. What kind of math are you using? Boy, don't you look like an ass right now.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for your reasonable response and question. No, Mr. Bush should not have run "screaming into the hallway". He should have politely excused himself from the kids and calmly and deliberately and with purpose walked himself over to were the top secret info was, or the intelligence feed, or at least an f'n teevee was and found out WTF was HAPPENING. He did nothing for seven critical minutes. Shame.

Ah Keerist, Mr, Ragshaft! Andrew Card has testified, under oath, and has never averred, telling POTUS- "A second plane has hit the WTC...America is under attack." And then began the seven minutes of....nothing. A true hero!

Do you even know what the word aver means?

Okay Donnie,
And what would have changed in those seven minutes? This was a new situation-what would Bill Clinton have done differently? Would he have been able to run a poll about what to do during that time?

Card has averred this to be the words whispered in Bush's ear. Thank you, Taltos.

Ah yes, Donnie,
No answer to my question about how Bill Clinton (or any Democrat for that matter) would have handled this differently.

Card has averred this to be the words whispered in Bush's ear. Thank you, Taltos.

Your statement still makes no sense, using testified and averred in the same sentence at all is pointless as they mean the same thing, but you said he never averred something that he testified to which is contradictory, not to mention, horribly goofy English.

Sarah, you ask what would have changed during those seven minutes. Let's see...There were two other hijacked airliners flying towards targets unknown. One of them slammed into the Pentagon. The other crashed in rural western Pennsylvania. At the time GW chose to continue reading "The Pet Goat" with a group of second graders, nothing was known about the number or the loci of attacks. Dereliction of Duty, Ma'am. At least he didn't go screaming into some imaginary hallway.

Barney, the point I made was that it did not make sense to rush away from the school until the situation with the airliners was known. In the comment I specifically said, "What was probably more risky was figuring out how to safely move him from there until all the planes had been grounded and/or accounted for." So, yes, obviously I did not forget that commercial jets were the weapon. That is why I included that sentence in my comment. You must have just skimmed over that part. Or maybe I should have said "commercial jets" instead of "planes." I just assumed you already knew that.

Donnie,
The military was scrambling at that point. This type of attack (and evil) had never been seen before. Do you even know anyone in the military? Isn't it fun to play Monday morning quarterback? Wheee!

You still haven't answered my question about how good ol' Bill would have handled it differently.

I was watching TV when the first plane hit. News at the time, I believe. They showed the first tower that had been hit, then they showed the second tower being hit by another plane. I sat in disbelief. I know you Donnie, went out and manned, or rather boyed your antiaircraft watergun. You know, I was thinking as I read some of the stuff you on the idiotic left write. Good people died that day, and people like you live on. There really is no justice is there?

Dear Taltos, My horrible English notwithstanding, GWB should, could, and is the worst CINC since...I find myself at a loss for names. GWB is argueably the worst in history. Watch those seven clueless minutes.

Donnie,
Why don't you watch Carter's clueless 444 days response to the Iranian hostage crisis?

Geez, now are you saying the hallways in the school were made up? I've heard it all now. I am pretty sure there were hallways in that school. Are you really going to claim the school hallways were imaginary?

I think it is hilarious that some think Bush should be impeached because it took him a whooping seven minutes to stop reading a book after hearing the news on 9/11, but those same people thought it was okay for Bill Clinton to spend hours (on our dime in the Oval Office) having phone sex, as well cigar sex, with an intern while al Qaeda was plotting 9/11. In fact, Clinton met with Monica more times than with some of his cabinet members.

I wonder what Clinton would have done on 9/11 had he been president. I wonder if he would have been in a school at all or might he have been in his office with an intern under the desk. I guess as long as it took him less than 7 minutes to put it back in his pants it would have been cool with all those obsessing over My Pet Goat. I happen to believe he would have used those seven minutes to do the lip bite. That would have really accomplished a lot.

Sarah, If the military was handling it at that point, why did a hijacked 757 crash into the Pentagon with a clueless CINC holding a clueless presser at the very moment that a group of brave passengers said "NO" and crashed into a field?

Amen, Lorie!

Clinton would have been trying to figure out how to save his behind, to heck with the second graders!

Donnie,
Ah yes-the good old response of ignoring questions you can't answer. You don't know what Clinton or Carter would have done but you know deep down inside that it wouldn't have been good, right? And you didn't answer my question about even knowing anyone in the military (which actually answers the question doesn't it!). I repeat-they were scrambling and trying to get to the areas of concern. Whether Bush left that classroom in five, seven, or thirty minutes wouldn't have made them fly any faster! It was a matter of physics-but facts don't matter if we can attack Bushy McChimpHitler, right?

Oh Sarah, Please do not presume. Your questions about Clinton and Carter are unanswerable. They did not act so foolishly on an important foreign policy concern. They did not sell arms to our enemies. They did not invade a hostile land for no reason, They did not cede our moral righteousnous for generations to glam a carrier landing photo-op.

Sarah, no one is answering your question because it's stupid. Please stop asking it. We have no idea what Clinton would have done. Is that your defense of Bush, that perhaps, maybe, if we imagine hard enough, EvilClinton would have done the same or worse?

It is YOU who are playing Monday morning quarterback. All Bush knew was that two planes crashed into the WTC, and "America is under attack". Think back to that moment, and not today. Was it over? Is that it, just two planes? Are there two more inbound? Four more? Ten more? Is this going to happen to every major city in the US? What was the damage? Do I need to send FEMA? Don't you think Bush should have shown an interest in what was happening? Is "screaming into the hallway" the only option you think he had?

If you were told your house was on fire, would you just sit there thinking, "well, it's already burning, nothing I can do will change that"?

Joyless Behar or whatever her name is, is just as vile and obnoxious as Rosie O'Donnell. Debating her only legitmizes her. She is sort of like some of the posters in here....ignorant. Now with O'Donell gone, hopefully the attention will switch to Joyless' absurd rants. I think she will tone it down now because she will not Rosie deflecting all the heat.

Donnie,
Not responding to the Cole bombings or the first WTC bombing was not foolish? Please! That stupid attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages with helicopters that were not outfitted for desert conditions was not foolish? We still have troops in Serbia with no clear way of leaving-that's not foolish? Clinton and Carter have moral righteousness? When did adultery (oh wait, oral sex if you're not giving the oral sex is not sex, right? It all depends on what the meaning of "is" is-I forgot.) become morally righteous? When did supporting a terrorist governnment become morally righteous? And you still aren't answering the questions!

Brian,
You all are desperate to attack Bush for anything! Clinton did have two occasions where America/Americans were attacked (the first WTC bombing and the Cole attack) and did nothing! Even after the seven minutes you all fixate on, he did NOTHING! Hours, days, months later-the big goose egg! Ditto Carter and the Iranian hostage crisis. Yet, you all demand that Bush snap to. BDS rules!

Sarah, Do you realize that the Cole bombings resulted in the Bush admin doing ...nothing. Nothing...Condi Rice...wolfowitz...Colin Powelll Feel shame for an unprovoked attack upon an un-armed country.

Sarah, You are desperate to defend GWB--the worst president in the hisory of the nstion. Good luck!

donnie, barneyGRUBBLE:

Ok you got us... Bush was a simpering fool as he sat in that school room.

But give him credit for one thing he was together enough to read my pet goat.

"The man who would be president," Kerry just sat there and couldn't even think.

BarneyG,

Please remember, no matter what you say, write, or do, in my eyes (and many others I would safely guess) you still will be a miserable little dick head, communist, self loathing, liberal anti-American faggot loser.

There, I feel much better now.

donnie:

Sarah, you ask what would have changed during those seven minutes. Let's see...There were two other hijacked airliners flying towards targets unknown. One of them slammed into the Pentagon.

Correct 2 planes were flying to unknown targets. Quzzle me this brainchild:

At a commercial jets average speed of 500kts per hours and both those jets being located in the northest while ChimptMcBushHitler (your obvious name choice not mine) was "wasting 7 WHOLE minutes in FLORIDA!!!!!!!!! just how much a threat did those 2 planes pose to Bush?

Just how far, at 500kts, will a jet travel in 7 minutes on its evil journey to slam into that school a thousand miles away?

donnie... you "sir" are a blithering idiot.

Sarah Connor,

Have you seen this video?

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8372366181300641663

Everyone should. For GP.

"wasting 7 WHOLE minutes in FLORIDA!!!!!!!!! _marcia

Please refrain from using over 3 (!!!) exclamation points.

Might arouse nearby Turkish pirates.

Dear Sir blitherin' idjit, MARC, I picture you...opposite of Sarah...Okay maybe just like Sarah- or Sarah's hubby ...Except I just respect their relationship.

Marc, did you really "quzzle me this"? Or am I channeling Sarah?

And the expected response was gladly received as further proof of terminal moonbattery.

What's the matter simple math skills required to figure flight time from the northeast to florida at 500kts too much for the ole cranium?

And BTW, it you're "channeling" anyone it's probably lardass's melted steel theory.

Marc and Sarah, respectfuliy, what are your ages?

Marc--sans rancor--5/18/1962.

Marc, Unless you're as handsome as someone who knows he's NOT as handsome as me. not ever Dubya goofball shi...never as handsome. Forever we love together.

Can't kevlin let go? He's handsome as shit.

Dear Taltos, My horrible English notwithstanding, GWB should, could, and is the worst CINC since...I find myself at a loss for names. GWB is argueably the worst in history. Watch those seven clueless minutes.

Bush II isn't even anywhere close to the worst president we've ever had. And any honest presidential historian would tell you so.

The libtards certainly like saying Bush is the worst President ever. Sounds like ass-covering for their two morons Carter and Clinton. Funny how you dopes give Clinton ALL THE CREDIT for the 90s but Bush apparently has 0 influence on anything nowadays.

donnie

Marc and Sarah, respectfuliy, [sic] what are your ages?

Ah... old enough to do simple math. Which puts me eons ahead of your childish tripe.

What sort of credibility can any article have that starts out with "I haven't read the thing myself" (Anchoress)

But it does not matter..if your mind is made up..why clutter it.

Over the years there have been posts by Jay,DJ, and even Lorie that have give me pause. That intrigued me enough to do some real research..and in some cases modified my opinion.

It is clear that for some Bush bears no responsibility for 9/11 happening 9 months into his watch. For some Bush's preemptive attack on Iraq was necessary to answer 9/11 and subsequent occupation is successful...and nothing will change your minds on this.

I have an uncle that to his core believes Richard Nixon is the greatest President of his 80 year lifetime who was sabotaged by the liberal media and hippies..

"He did nothing for seven critical minutes. Shame."

Billy "Blows his Job" Clinton had 8 fricken years and didn't do jack shit!

Thank you democrats for the worst and most criminally corrupt presidents in our History. They try to steel the election in 2000 and stand up that traitorous stiff Fraud Kerry in 2004. We should expect no less from the Criminal Democrat party of frauds.

It is really telling how the lefty loons here live in denial about the invasion of Iraq. I believe the congress overwhelmingly voted FOR it. If they had not, it would not have happened. So, this is the dimmers and republicans war.

I believe Al Queda and their like are the ones practicing rightious indignation. They want us dead for who and what we are. I just don't think the lefties are capable of understanding this stuff. All they want to do is re-live one second in a game when others are busy playing the game.

Lefties here are for the most part childish, intellectually dishones whiners the are motivated by such hate it is incomprehensible to us mere mortals. ww

It only took him seven minutes to open a can of whupass on bin Laden. I think he's keeping him alive to torment him with the dissection of his organization.
==========================

"Dear donnie, just shows how dumb you are. tee hee

donnie, with a little d. Retard you must know the Cole incident happened on Slick's watch not Bush's. What was the Governor of Texas supposed to do when a ship of the United States Navy is attacked and the Commander in Chief is to busy getting head from and ugly intern to do his job. I would hope, donnie you are a child as if you are older than early teens you need to seek both educational and mental assistance. First get off the crack pipe.

Better question for donnie.

The U.S.S. The Sullivans was the target of a terrorist attack in the same port and by the same method as the U.S.S. Cole was.

The attack occurred several months prior to the Cole attack and failed because the zodiac boat laden with explosives sank.

Clinton knowing of the attack, knowing al-Qaeda attempted the attack and operated in that port sent the Cole into Yemen anyway.

donnie, why did Clinton sit on his ass and do nothing?

People like BarneyG2000 forget where our national mindset was before the second plane hit the buildings. The first jet it and could have easily been considered an accident or at worst a criminal action.

When the second one hit, ~everyone~ knew what was happening.

President Bush spent some 5-7 minutes in the classroom then excused himself. Liberals can look into the past and claim they'd do better, but that's very disingenous. Bush derangement syndrome has taken them over, wholly and completely.

Clinton did have two occasions where America/Americans were attacked (the first WTC bombing and the Cole attack) and did nothing!
...
Retard you must know the Cole incident happened on Slick's watch not Bush's. What was the Governor of Texas supposed to do

Not that you people seem to care about facts, but our intelligence agencies were not able to confirm during Clinton's presidency that AQ was responsible for the Cole. Once they did have the evidence, six days AFTER Bush took office, then the responsibility to respond fell on the former Governor of Texas, not Clinton. So if you want to complain about a lack of reponse to the Cole, direct your complaints to Bush.

If GWB would have just kept reading "my pet goat" these past six years, the world would be a much better place. Bin Laden lucked out in ways he could not imagine. 9/11 was a big bomb of stupid for many Americans, conservatives mostly.

Even after the seven minutes you all fixate on, he did NOTHING! Hours, days, months later-the big goose egg! Ditto Carter and the Iranian hostage crisis. Yet, you all demand that Bush snap to.

Sarah, you are either being disingenuous or you are an oaf. No one is suggesting that in those seven minutes Bush could have thrown himself in front of the other airplane and saved it. What everyone complains Bush didn't do is simply what I assume Clinton and Carter did do, which is GET ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE AND ASK WHAT THE F IS HAPPENING.

You still didn't say what you would have done after having been told your house was burning down. That speaks volumes.

Brian:

So if you want to complain about a lack of reponse to the Cole, direct your complaints to Bush.

No I want to complain, or more accurately, ask why Clinton knew of the U.S.S. The Sullivans attempted attack (regardless who the perps were), disregarded the obvious warning and sent the Cole into a dangerous port.

Which, BTW, you failed to address.

Care to opine on why Brian?

Brian:

You still didn't say what you would have done after having been told your house was burning down. That speaks volumes.

I smell the faint odor of Red Herring.

Either that or history is wrong and the Florida school Bush was in was on fire.

Damn.... thanks Brain for clearing up the misguided history books.

How would the the world be worse if Bush had continued to read 'My pet goat" these last six years? Answer me that if you can or are you afraid?

It's 'The Pet Goat'. The Secret Service couldn't move him out sooner. Don't worry, there were wheels going around in that man's head as he read. Look at the consequences. Al-Qaeda is shattered and the conflict with radical Islam well and truly engaged.
====================================

Brian, after the attacks on the embassies, who did you think attacked the Cole, the Green Bay Packers? I guess if you have a intelligence arm that you do not listen to, then you would not know. The Bush team was not up and running many days after he took office, remember the BS algore put him through with the attempt to steal the election. You are a pregnant chad Brian.

Yikes, kim thinks there were many wheels going around dubya's head. Kim have you actually had the oppurtunity to watch, un-edited, those seven painful minutes? The only wheels turning were flats mired in a a pool of "oh, shit,".

And bin Laden is now mired where?
====================

And bin Laden is now mired where?

It matters not "where". The tragedy is that he's "mired" anywhere at all, rather than playing golf with Allah.

Brian, after the attacks on the embassies, who did you think attacked the Cole, the Green Bay Packers?

It was AQ. As confirmed by US intelligence agencies AFTER Bush took office.

I guess if you have a intelligence arm that you do not listen to, then you would not know.

Clinton listened to them. They said "we're not sure". Then when they said "we're now sure", it was Bush who didn't listen to them.

The Bush team was not up and running many days after he took office,

What fiction is this? Of course they were. Or do you think Bush STOPPED thinking about who should be in his cabinet while he fought Gore in court?

Besides, the NSA, CIA, US military, etc. were very much up and running the whole time. And however many extra days you think Bush needed to get "up and running", did he retaliate for the Cole then?

So Brian, what did Berger steal to give your version of history a chance? And what, pray tell, makes you think he stole it all? Historians can be maddeningly thorough, you know.
==================================

"Clinton listened to them. They said "we're not sure". Then when they said "we're now sure", it was Bush who didn't listen to them."

You think your so clever don't ya? You sound just like some other ignoramous who got "Bent" when he got caught telling telling lies. I believe his name was "Slick Willie" "Bubbu" "The Bent One" and "BJ" Clinton.

Brian , you and your party of Rats are resigned to tell endless lies because you cannot , will not and must not ever tell the truth. It spells the end of the party of criminal frauds. You know it , I know it and more and more people learn it with every passing day.

Democrats think they can rewrite history. They think they can change what we have seen , heard and experienced with all of our senses by spewing lies and putting them on paper.

Brian, do you still think you are so clever?

The Dems didn't want to combat bin Laden when they had the power, they had to let Bush get their grudging acquiescence to go to war, they don't want to finish the fight, well under way, and they won't want to continue it if they get back in power. They have been consistent, and the only way they come out of this winners is if the Muslims reject the Koran.

No wonder they're pushing third party candidacy for Ron Paul.
=============================
