No, probably not.

But the point I'm getting at is that I don't believe that at the time he was in the classroom and was informed by the SS that planes had crashed into a building, it was clear how many planes and/or cities were part of the plan. What if 20 planes had been hijacked and were enroute to other targets? Would you want anyone other than the President to authorize the shooting down of other airliners that might have been intercepted?

If the President isn't available, then of course the decision would pass down the chain of command. But I don't think "unavailable" should mean he's reading "My Pet Goat" with a classroom of kids. He wasn't even reading TO them, he was reading along. What's wrong with saying "Excuse me." so you can make a decision about what can be done to protect the rest of the country?

To me, it shows that Bush doesn't know what to do in a crisis unless he's told.


TK,

I don't think I'm having delusions...........but then, what delusional person does? Hiding from black helicopters and wearing tinfoil hats probably seems like a smart thing to do to someone who does it. Shoot, you should know that.
