It's sad that people can't hide their political prejudice at a time like this. Admit it, most of you would be criticizing Bush regardless of what he did during the hours following the attacks. I guarantee you that if he'd been at the White House within minutes after the first two planes were crashed, you'd all be saying "That moron Bush is leader of the free world and doesn't have any more sense than to fly back to what could be the next target on the terrorists' list!"
But since he chose instead to Move to two secure military installations during the time at which all remaining planes in the air were being diverted to the closest available airports, and didn't return to Washington until late that afternoon, you choose to essentially call him a coward.
I sense a lot of European socialists who just still can't quite hide their prejudices at a time of crisis for our nation. They still have to insert jabs about Bush "reading the right words from his cue cards", etc... It's almost as if someone will have to take time out to slap them silly, shout "Gore lost, we're at war, and you'll have plenty of time to ridicule Bush after we have the heads of the terrorists responsible for these actions." If not one single Democrat in congress has stepped foward to criticize the President during this time, I'd think that's the least I could expect from a message board full of left-wing folkies. Guess I was wrong. Shame on me...

Now, I openly invite everyone to go ahead and further prove my point for me by flaming me for the next day or two. I won't expect too many from the Euro-catters... they'll likely be busy trying to figure out where to spend the 50 BILLION DOLLARS America just handed out to keep their economies stabilized.
