Bush's initial response to the 9/11 attacks. Moore has unearthed video showing Bush attending a photo op in a second-grade classroom in Sarasota, Fla., when chief of staff Andrew Card whispers in his ear: "America is under attack." Card told a TV interviewer in 2002 that the president got up from the classroom "not that many seconds later." Moore's video depicts a seemingly shaken Bush continuing to sit in the classroom for seven agonizing minutes, even reading to the children from a book, "My Pet Goat." The movie suggests Bush reads from the book because he is uncertain about what to do. A report this week by the federal panel investigating 9/11 confirms Bush did remain in the classroom "for another five to seven minutes." It also offers Bush's account: "The president felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening," the report states.

Bush already knew the first plane had hit the WTC, he made the comment something like..."man, that's some bad pilot".... but didn't want to pass up on the chance for the scheduled media opportunity of him reading to the kiddies.
Perhaps if he wasn't so worried about posturing for the american public - pretending like he gives a shit about schools and kids, and instead, went off to deal with the emerging situation - then some of the events that followed could have been prevented
