The famous picture of the guy whispering in his ear isn't Bush being told about the first plane hitting, but the second. It was pretty obvious by that time that an attack was under way.
I fail to see how this can even be argued. He knew, we all knew, Norad, the Secret Service, people watching on goddamn television knew that the United States was under attack but he just sat there.
What else could he have done? Oh I don't know, make a couple calls maybe? Show some leadership? Do something.
"Mr. President, the United States is under large-scale attack at this very second. What do you wish to do about it"?
"Nothing."
That sounds reasonable to you guys?
