I also just stated the facts of the timeline as the Bush administration has given them. There are no 'ridiculous leaps in logic' or 'huge plots against us' anywhere in my post. Everyone here has seen the video of the President being updated on the situation as he sat there in that classroom. All I am asking is that people step back and think about it from the perspective of NOT knowing what the final outcome of that day's events would bring.
When you do that, it seems very odd that nobody has come forward and filed a lawsuit claiming that the Secret Service put their children in danger by not removing the President from the school once they knew that our country was being attacked.
For all anyone knew in those chaotic first moments, it could have been foreign military planes that flew into the towers and the Pentagon and perhaps the whole 'hijacking' scenario was a ruse. I've given it a lot of thought over the years and I can't think of one reason for why President Bush was not immediately swept away by his Secret Service detail the moment the second plane hit. Oh yeah, they didn't want to startle the kids.  |
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to jump on you personally, like I said in the post. I was just using your post as a general example of how a conclusion of government conspiracy is reached based on what happened at an elementary school. The last line of your previous post kind of infers just that.
So now you're saying that because no lawsuits were brought up or that Bush was not rushed away by Secret Service that....what? Muslim hi-jackers didn't crash planes into the World Trade Center? Weird circumstances in a school on the morning of the attack really don't mean shit...the way some concrete fell, or steel burned, or explosions were heard or not heard also don't mean shit.
You just proved my point with your response. You're willing let all these conspiratorial scenarios run through your head because of what happened at the school? Because if you don't believe the "official story" -- which is basically what many people watched with their own eyes -- then you must be inferring that the government set this giant deadly hoax up. Am I wrong?
What do you really think of Bush? Do you hate him? I sure don't like him very much, and I don't like the idea of service members dying every day for some phony ass war that has almost nothing to do with stopping terrorism. But, I don't let my feeling for Bush make basic logic and common sense fly right out of my head...
