Q: ...how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Well -- (applause) -- thank you, Jordan.

Well, Jordan, you're not going to believe where -- what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- well, actually I was in a classroom, talking about a reading program that works. And it -- I was sitting outside the -- the classroom, waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower of a -- of a -- you know, the TV was obviously on, and I -- I used to fly myself, and I said, "Well, there's one terrible pilot." And I said it must have been a horrible accident.

Only problem with this is, the only existing tape to surface so far of the first plane hitting is the one by the Naudet brothers. They were in NYC filming a documentary and tilted the camera up when the roar of the jet was heard. Caught the first impact on videotape. But they didn't make the tape public until the NEXT DAY. And Bush is very specific about the time (before he went into the classroom), and it's a matter of public record that Card went in and told him when the SECOND plane hit. So, Bush saw something none of US did. He saw the first plane hit. He made this statement weeks after the attacks, too, so this wasn't a kneejerk, stumbling response. He saw the plane hit, then he went in to try to hawk his brother's bogus reading software (the software he uses the presidency to promote is a Bush family business). So Bush saw a live feed of the first plane hitting. That means someone had to know, in advance, what was going to happen and where to aim the camera. Bush admitted it. Outsmarted by a CHILD named Jordan.
