The fact that Bush stayed in the elementary school after he was told that “America is under attack” seems kinda odd, especially when you compare
how Dick Cheney was rushed to the underground bunker by the secret service.
Not really. Cheney was in the White House--a great big target in a city that had already seen one landmark attacked. There was a bunker with command
and control capabilities available, so they put him in it.
Bush was in a school. A small, unimposing building that no one even knew about until his travel plans were announced. He was pretty safe there,
probably safer than he would have been charging out of the school and driving the presidential motorcade to the airport at 90 mph while playing
dramatic music by Hans Zimmer on his iPod, which is what most of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists
seem to think would have been the rational response to the situation.
Did Norman Mineta ever change his story about the time Cheney was in the bunker, and that young man asking Cheney if the order still
stands?
Don't all source agree that Cheney gave a standing order? I'm not sure why conspiracy theorists find this interesting, unless there's some lexical
confusion between a "standing order" and a "stand down order." Which wouldn't surprise me, honestly.
