Why Did Bush Just Sit There?
by David J. Stewart
One of the most incriminating pieces of evidence against George w. Bush (that he had prior knowledge of 911) is the FACT that he just sat there on the morning of September 11th, 2001 upon hearing that America was under attack. No president would just sit idly in a chair after hearing that "AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK" unless he knew before hand what was going to happen. George W. Bush KNEW! In fact, the mountain of evidence overwhelmingly reveals that the Bush administration was instrumental in orchestrating the 911 attacks.

Our "Commander-in-Chief" in action
At 9:03 AM on 11 September 2001, the second airplane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
President Bush was in Florida, at the Emma T. Booker Elementary School, listening to children read.
Chief of Staff Andrew Card gave Bush the news about the second airplane hit, and informed him that America was under attack, and what did George W. Bush do?
He sat there for over 5 minutes and did nothing except read a Pet Goat story with the children.

>>> This
footage, obtained and presented exclusively by The Memory Hole, shows
President Bush sitting in a Florida classroom for 5 minutes after he was
told that the second Twin Tower has been hit and that America was being
attacked. A truncated version of this footage that has been available
online since June 2002 shows Bush for only 2 minutes, 10 seconds after
being told. This new footage more than doubles this length of time. Immediately below, you'll find still-frames from the video, one every 5 seconds starting when Chief of Staff Andrew Card gives Bush the news and ending when the scene abruptly ends. Below that is a longer introduction and explanation of this footage, including how you can get it yourself. |

Why President Bush?
>>> At 9:03
AM on 11 September 2001, the second airplane hit the South Tower of the
World Trade Center. President Bush was in Florida, at the Emma T. Booker
Elementary School, listening to children read. Chief of Staff Andrew Card
came over and whispered in Bush's ear, "A second plane hit the second
tower. America is under attack."
What did the Commander in Chief do? Nothing. He sat there. He sat for well over 5 minutes, doing nothing while 3,000 people were dying and the attacks were still in progress. Not only did the leader of the free world sit as his country was attacked, the Secret Service also did nothing. Bush was appearing in public at a previously announced photo-op. He was a sitting duck. The attacks were ongoing at that point (planes had yet to hit the Pentagon or the field in Pennsylvania), and nobody knew how much more destruction was going to happen. Were there two, three, four, eight more planes hijacked and on their way to crash into prominent buildings? Was one headed for the school, where anyone who checked the President's public itinerary would know he was located? Were other terrorists planning to detonate dirty nukes? Were they going to release anthrax or smallpox or sarin? Was an assassination squad going to burst into the school and get Bush? Was a suicide bomber going to ram a truck full of explosives into that classroom? During the midst of the attacks, any of these things could've happened. Yet there sits Bush, seemingly unconcerned. His Chief of Staff likewise doesn't think that America in flames warrants the President's immediate attention. And the Secret Service utterly fails to do its job by grabbing the President of the United States and getting him to safety. It's truly inexplicable. And it's something the administration isn't too eager to trumpet. They haven't released footage of the President's (non)actions during this historic moment of American history. Until now, the only available footage had been a little film put together by Booker Elementary. [See it here.] The problem is, there's a jump edit in the footage: From the time Card whispers to Bush until the end of the scene in the classroom, only 2 minutes and 10 seconds elapse. But this new, fuller footage shows Bush sitting for a full five minutes after he'd been told that "America is under attack." He declined to take action even longer than this, but unfortunately this footage ends before he leaves the classroom. Thanks to an amazing article by Allan Wood and Paul Thompson, we know what happened after the footage suddenly cuts off:
For a detailed portrait of what Bush did and didn't do on 9/11, you can do no better than to read this article here. It is based completely on reports from mainstream media and statements from government officials. Apologists claim that Bush didn't leave simply because he didn't want to interrupt and upset the children, but this falls apart for several reasons:
