QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?
BUSH: Well... (APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Jordan (ph).
Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. 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 use 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 there -- I didn't have much time to think about it, and I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my chief who was sitting over here walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower. America's under attack."

I was gonna ask a similar question, but I wanted to know who shot the initial footage. It was the 'something'? brothers.
And there is that bizarre clip of bush saying that he had seen the first plane hit, when he couldn't have. Anyone know where I can find those?

Naudet thing just a fluke, and I still think a bit of an oddity that they were right there, right then, w/a firefighter about to swing into action in response no less...

Yeah the first plane hitting wasn't even broadcast at the time so he couldn't have seen it.
I also seem to remember apparently the teacher said that there wasn't even a TV turned on where Bush was so he was obviously just making that up. Can't remember where I heard that, may have been Fahrenheit 9/11, I don't know the credibility.

He was in his limo. What are the chances of a limo NOT having a TV, and what are the chances of a teacher being in the president's limo?
And more importantly, what bush meant was that he saw it on TV. Not that he literally saw the plane itself on TV, but that he saw the news coverage of the plane hitting the WTC. He comes from Texas and is known for not using the best speaking methods, so suddenly everyone takes his wording literally because it makes for a good conspiracy. Outside of his speech impediments that don't pose a conspiracy, he is back to being the usual idiot. Just in this case he is suddenly the worlds most eliquent speaker who used his words precisely.
When he said "wings take dream" , maybe that too was some kind of coded message to the plot. How about "the literacy level of our children are appalling"?
This might put things in perspective, and if you think he literally meant that he saw the actual plane hitting the building, then ask yourself if that's jsut what you really want to believe.
