I read that 9/11 chronology website, which seemed at least to reject
a priori nonsense about missiles, and simply projected the events as recorded in the mainstream media. To me the glaring items are:
- Bush just sitting there in the classroom.
- No orders issued to locate and shoot down hijacked planes until over an hour after the initial attacks, long after the Pentagon was hit. Within ten minutes of the WTC being hit, and the knowledge that there were two more planes out there, that should have been the first order of business.
Some of you are thinking, "Oh, god another woo-woo." But this is what I think those actions of the leadership in those first crucial minutes indicate:
cowardice. Bush and Cheney clearly did not want to be on the line for
themselves having killed American citizens, and the result was a successful damaging of the heart of America's military and security resource, and what the hey, the people on the other plane sorted it out for themselves without any help from the government, God love 'em. (So ironic when you consider that was the plane intended for the goddam White House).
Bush and Cheney were derelict in their duties and violated their oath to protect the Constitution and citizens of the United States. It wouldn't have saved 3000 lives, but imagine if the planes had hit their targets in a different order: then the fact that nothing was done to prevent the WTC strike
after the White House and Pentagon had been hit, and those thousands of deaths in the heart of Manhattan would have been the first thing people realised was something that was preventable. And I think rightful criticism of the Government's actions on that day would have deprived Bush of all credibility and might even have cost him the aught-four election.
