Whose zooming whom?
The "independent" 9/11 Commission is now telling us that by continuing to read a book to elementary school kids in Florida after being notified that the second Twin Tower had been struck by a plane President Bush was trying to project strength and calm? Really? That same Commission also relates how Vice President Cheney was in a bunker under the White House issuing orders for the military to scramble jets to shoot down one or more of the highjacked jets.
Um... okay. So we have the President and alleged Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces reading childrens books during a time of extreme crisis while the Vice President is the one on the ball issuing orders to those same Armed Forces and generally doing SOMETHING constructively related to said extreme crisis???
Does anyone out there still doubt that Bush is but a figure head President?
UPDATE:
According to the Washington Post Cheney told the Commission that he was acting in response to a phone request from Bush when he authorized the shoot downs of the highjacked planes. The only thing is... there apparently isn't a shred of evidence that Bush ever made the alleged call. Heh... go figure. Must be part of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. LOL
