Very fascinating are the following excerpts taken from the timeline of that morning........
When hijackings are taking place, minutes are critical, as the only person who can order the downing of civilian aircraft is.......the President

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]8:32 a.m.: Bush’s motorcade leaves The Colony Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, Florida for Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota.[/font]
<!--StartFragment -->[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]8:46:26 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 impacts the north side of the North Tower (1 World Trade Center) of the WTC[/font]
(It is likely that NORAD knew that at least 2 planes had been hijacked by 8:20 am ET. Yet the the 2 F-15's intercepts weren't ordered to scramble until 8:46 am, nearly the exact time the first plane strikes the WTC North Tower but still have enough time to intercept plane #2 if they flew at top speed!)
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]NORAD says that when United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the WTC at 9:02:54, the F-15's from Otis are still 71 miles away. This means their average flight speed was only 23.9% of their top speed in trying to intercept United Airlines Flight 175.
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Otis is 153 miles from WTC. F-15's have a top speed of 1875+ MPH. Minus 71 miles left from 153 miles equals 82 miles covered in the 11 minutes from 8:52 take-off to 9:03. 60 minutes divided by 11 minutes equals 5.45, times this by the 82 miles covered, equals 447.3 MPH. divided by 1875 MPH equals 23.9% of their top speed. How could these two F-15’s possibly be going less than one quarter of their top speed in trying to intercept United Airlines Flight 175?[/font]
[/font]<!--StartFragment -->
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]9:01 a.m.: Bush later makes the following statement. "And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I used to fly myself, and I said, 'There's one terrible pilot.' And I said, 'It must have been a horrible accident.' But I was whisked off from there -- I didn't have much time to think about it." Bush could not have possibly seen the first plane (American Airlines Flight 11) hit the WTC, because the only video showing this was not shown on television till later in the day. So how could he have possibly seen and said this?[/font]
<!--StartFragment -->[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]9:02:54 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the south side of the South Tower of the WTC[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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." Bush (commander-and-chief?) keeps listening to this Goat Story with these children for at least 7 minutes, and perhaps as long as 18 minutes. Why didn't he excuse himself from these children right away, and immediately address this national emergency, is totally unexplainable.
[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There is no way this should have happened. What of course should have happened, was as soon as the secret service found out about United Airlines Flight 175 impacting the WTC (now knowing it was a "terrorist" act), they would have immediatly grabbed Bush and brought him to an undisclosed location. There is no way the secret service leaves Bush in a place (Emma E. Booker Elementary School) where everyone knows he is. Stand Down.[/font]
<!--StartFragment --> [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]9:23 a.m.: Bush talks privately with Cheney, his National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller and Governor George Pataki of New York. Why does Bush wait from 9:05 (when Andrew Card tells him of United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the WTC) till 9:23 to finally call? He still does not give the authority to the fighters to shoot down any hostile airliners. What is he waiting for?[/font] <!--StartFragment -->
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Still, much worse, why didn’t these two F-15’s upon reaching the WTC at 9:11 and now knowing that American Airlines Flight 77 has been heading dead on for Washington D.C. for 12 minutes, finally try to intercept? The WTC is about 250 miles from the Pentagon. They still have 26 minutes to intercept American Airlines Flight 77 before the Pentagon gets hit at 9:37. All they have to do is to fly only 576.9 MPH or 30.8% of their top speed to beat American Airlines Flight 77 to the Pentagon. What do we pay these guys to do?[/font]
<!--StartFragment --> [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Listen to what a former Pentagon air traffic controller says "All those years ago when I was at the Pentagon, this wouldn't have happened. ATC Radar images were (and are) available in the understructures of the Pentagon, and any commercial flight within 300 miles of D. C. that made an abrupt course change toward Washington, or turned off their transponder and refused to communicate with ATC, would have been intercepted at supersonic speeds within minutes by fighters out of Andrews AFB. Why there were no fighters from Andrews AFB up baffles me. If we could get fighters notified, scrambled, and airborne within about 6 minutes from Andrews AFB then, we could now."[/font]
<!--StartFragment -->[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]9:37 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 is lost from radar screens and impacts the western side of the Pentagon. The section of the Pentagon hit consists mainly of newly renovated, unoccupied offices. The Pentagon says American Airlines Flight 77 hits them at 9:37. [/font]
The importance of this timeline is clear. How is the President going to give the order to down the aircraft (one heading directly for D.C.) while he's jerking off to a children's book?
He doesn't have 7 minutes to spare, the order may need to be communicated immediately, yet he just sits there.
7 minutes is an eternity when Norad, the FAA, defense dept. all KNOW you have hostile aircraft in the sky heading towards the seat of your Gov't.

TEN BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK:
10. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."
9. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in that time management course you sent me to."
8. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."
7. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm."
6. "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."
5. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?"
4. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."
3. "The coffee machine is broken..."
2. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot..."
AND THE #1 BEST THING TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK...
1. ".... in Jesus' name. Amen."

EXACTLY. What better example do we have for gauging the fitness and competence of a man who wants to lead this country for 4 more years.
He froze, probably due to fear. Hey that's a natural human reaction......unless you have been battle tested before! So telling us that Kerry is unfit to lead us is a complete hypocrisy.
I firmly believe Kerry would've politely got up, said something like "kids, something important has come up and I have to go and do the President thing. I'll come back sometime soon"
Total of 15 seconds and he's outta there, getting briefed and taking command.
Within 5 minutes he knows exactly what's going on, 2 planes taking hostile action, transponders off. Takes another minute to give the order to intercept.
Guess what Georgie is still jerking off to George of the Jungle and hasn't a clue.
