6. Is it normal procedure for the Director of the White House Situation Room to travel with you? If so, please cite any prior examples of when this occurred. If not normal procedure, please explain the circumstances that led to the Director of the White House Situation Room being asked to accompany you to Florida during the week of September 11th.
(****NOTE:this was a new one to me, and it certainly begs the question....*******)
7. What plan of action caused you to remain seated after Andrew Card informed you that a second airliner had hit the second tower of the World Trade Center and America was clearly under attack?
(******NOTE:I was pacing the floor for some unknown reason BEFORE I turned on the TV, and was aghast and upset when I did! How could the President remain seated? He was UNDER-reacting!*****)
these leading questions would imply that GWB knew about the attacks beforehand.
Which lead to the questions:
A) What possible reason could he have to ignore it?
B) If he did know, why weren't his responses more stage-managed?
This is laughable.
12. What defensive measures did you take in response to pre-9/11 warnings from eleven nations about a terrorist attack, many of which cited an attack in the continental United States? Did you prepare any directives in response to these actions? If so, with what results?
Good question -if indeed there were specific warnings from 11 nations about an attack on the US.
17. Was there a reason for Air Force One lifting off without a military escort, even after ample time had elapsed to allow military jets to arrive?
Does AF1 usually have an escort? Was there ample time to get one? Didn't the pres kinda leave in a hurry?
Again the implication is he knew beforehand about the attacks and also knew he was safe. Why? How?
18. What prompted your refusal to release the information regarding foreign sponsorship of the terrorists, as illustrated in the inaccessible 28 redacted pages in the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry Report? What actions have you personally taken since 9/11 to thwart foreign sponsorship of terrorism?
I'd like to know the answer to that one too.......
19. Who approved the flight of the bin Laden family out of the United States when all commercial flights were grounded, when there was time for only minimal questioning by the FBI, and especially, when two of those same individuals had links to WAMY, a charity suspected of funding terrorism? Why were bin Laden family members granted that special privilege—a privilege not available to American families whose loved ones were killed on 9/11?
I've also heard that this is rumor rather than unequivocable fact. Anyone else?
20. Please explain why no one in any level of our government has yet been held accountable for the countless failures leading up to and on 9/11?
This is a good question - this admin has precious little accountability.
Yup, Georgie's got some explaining to do.
He sure does - but not to the level you suspect.
