Obama’s Pet Goat Moment
by Tim SlagleFor the Left, one of the most defining images of the previous administration can be summed up in three words “ My Pet Goat.”
If you remember, when President Bush was informed of the second plane crashing into the World Trade Center, while his photo op with school children at the Emma E. Booker elementary school was about to start. For the next several minutes, (much maligned by Michael Moore, in “Faranheit 9/11″) we saw a man confused by the situation. It has been joked about by comedians as him wanting to see how the story ended.
Every time I watch this footage, I always saw a strong man, who knew that twenty school children had looked forward to their chance to read to the President, for weeks. He decided they would not be disappointed. And knowing that this was an attack on the United States, the President did his best to neither disappoint nor alarm the children.
I’ve always imagined his narcissistic predecessor bolting straight out of the room and into a bunker, stepping over any children in his path. In reality, what could the President do? In that moment of confusion there really was nothing that could be done, other than have him sit there uncomfortably, and pretend that everything was normal. It takes a strong man not to flinch under adversity.
After he left the classroom, he went in front of the cameras, for what was supposed to be a prepared speech about education in America, and his initiatives. Instead, he went completely off-script, and directly into a speech that was most probably ad-libbed due to time constraints. He said that this is a difficult time for America, and promised to get the folks responsible.
Fast forward to last week. President Obama was also supposed to pose for a photo op, when possibly the biggest attack on US soil since September 11th occurred. While the other media still tries to sort out the motive for the shooting at Ft. Hood, I think most of us are pretty clear on what “Allah Akbar” means.
But there was no moment of reassurance from this President. Instead, he went into his prepared speech, and made a special point to give a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow” before he even addressed the issue.
In the President’s defense, I’m fairly certain that the “Shout-Out” had already been loaded into the teleprompter, and the tech didn’t know whether to delete it or not. The tech was obviously eMailed a Ft. Hood statement, but it took a while to get it up.
If you watch the video, you can see the clumsy transition (around 1:38). He stalls for a couple seconds while the new speech is being loaded: “Now, …I have to say though, ..that uhhh,…beyond that… uh I had planned to make some broader remarks, uh about the challenges that lay ahead for Native Americans as well as collaboration with our administration..”
Then suddenly his eyes lock on the right teleprompter as his Ft’ Hood statement begins to roll, and the stuttering stops: “uh but as some of you might have heard there has be a tragic shooting at the Ft. Hood Army base in Texas…”
I think this will be defining moment for this Administration. While he might be unclear on whether this was just a rampage, or an attack on the United States, I am certain that there is no question in the minds of the men and women of our military, that this event only differed from Pearl Harbor in scale.
And let it be known, that from this day forward, anytime a Leftie brings up “My Pet Goat” it will be retaliated with a “Shout Out to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow.”

"a strong man, who knew that twenty school children had looked forward to their chance to read to the President, for weeks. And knowing that this was an attack on the United States, the President did his best to neither disappoint nor alarm the children."
you. cannot. be. serious.
our nation was UNDER TERRORIST ATTACK and his number one priority was not to disappoint 20 schoolchildren, and you see this as a strong point?
This is a parody piece right Tim Slagle?
I can just imagine the call for impeachment if he would have got up and left in a hurry and that would have "terrorized" the childrn' and traumatized them for the rest of their lives. This man has more morality and knowledge in his little finger than the kid we have in office now.
"when possibly the biggest attack on US soil since September 11th occurred. "
get back to us when you have hard evidence. And why is it only "terrorism" when there might be a Muslim involved? Was the murderer of Dr. Tiller a Christian Terrorist, and an attack on US soil?
"I am certain that there is no question in the minds of the men and women of our military, that this event only differed from Pearl Harbor in scale."
FOR SHAME, Tim Slagle. Do not speak on behalf of our nation's military service members. They have their own voices.
SHAME ON YOU, Tim Slagle. For SHAME.
No need to rush to judgment on the Ft. Hood shooter – even though radical muzzzzlims are congratulating him for a fine job.
Even though HIS mosque is a hotbed of radicalism.
Big Sis is watching…….

I'd like to give a shout out to Barry Soetero: "YOU LIE!"
the Bush administration made many mistakes- some severe…
But George W Bush was a better man than Obama is. Not eloquent, but determined- and seemingly honest to a fault- what you saw was basically what you got. No need for 'date night', 24 (so far) rounds of golf, and 58 fund raisers (Bush had done 2 or 3 by this time in his term) and other frivolities, he just plowed ahead and did his job.
Took the hits for it, too. Barack will blame others for everything- forever. With Bush it was did he attend all of his Guard meetings. Big scandal- cost Dan Rather his job- and the media wouldn't leave it alone.
A little difference with Obama. Some aren't even sure Barry Soetero is a US citizen- and no one knows of his 'missing years' at Occidental and Columbia. The press has NO interest in that.
So you see the difference. Particularly in the make of the men involved…
Isn't it time for your nap.. you sure are an irritiable baby.__
You just can't stop posting your idiocy can you?
The sad thing, is that you actually BELIEVE that he should have gotten up and ran out and left the KIDS scared because they would have had NO idea, except that The President left them. You clearly don't have kids of your own, or you would ALREADY know you don't do this to kids. And if you do, then I'd hope you'd let someone else raise them.
1.A U.S. President should not give "big shout outs" under any circumstances.
2. Don't gleefully shout out then act mournful seconds later. That spells CRAZY.
3 Know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom. Especially if you're the idiot who awarded the medal in the first place.
It's funny how you're on the side of the cliterectomy gang.
Interesting take on Bush in his darkest moment.
This moment would have set the tone for his Presidency. It was a shock but a leader knows how to handle a situation and Bush certainly handled this situation well.
So proud of him. We may hate him but he served his country well.
Why do you people continue to defend obama? Can you not see how he is destroying this country?
I may not have agreed with everything GWB did, but at least I always felt he was doing what was right for the country, not just himself or his party. He kept the office of president dignified. He did not bow down to other country's leaders. He led, not his wife or Chief of Staff. He did not "shout out" or threaten others politically. obama is a puppet, if not for the teleprompters in constant use, we would all see just how ignorant he is.
Yeah, Obama would have invited the terrorists to the White House for a "beer" Bush wasn't a perfect President but he is twice the man Obama would ever hope to be
Shame on you scuzzy – YOU clearly have NO idea what it means to serve. NONE. Are the only "military" people you know the ones that fled to Canada, or threw their ribbons away after they got out because of a pinky cut to get a Purple Heart, and then LIE Is testimony to the Congress?
on 9/11, there were many thousands of scared kids all over the country.
to have stayed with these 20 particular scared children who had teachers and parents who would live to see them and comfort them that afternoon, while a nation under terrorist attack went without it's elected commander in chief for 20 minutes during a time of national crisis,
again, You cannot be serious. I understand Slagle is a comedian. But I just want clarification: is he being serious? Are you? Really??!?!??!
Not only that, but he called it the "Congressional Medal of Honor" when it is simply the "Medal of Honor." You would think the Commander in Chief would know that…..
Pondering the stupidity of scott I recall that in Iran in 1979 it was the Leftists in the Universities who assisted the Mullahs in the Revolution against the Shah.
The Leftists thought if they side with the Mullahs, that that would guarantee them some status in the Post-Shah order.
Well the Mullahs have no use for Leftists and when they got the power they slaughtered the stupid Leftists.
Too bad Scott wasn't a foreign exchange student back then.. instead we have to suffer his pestilence.
I think it's funny that Congress thinks that it has any credible honor to be giving out medals.
While we are on the topic of Joe Medicne Crow, here are a few simply facts: I know him personally. He is the last war chief of the Crow Nation, and the first Crow ever to graduate college. While in World War II he wore war paint beneath his uniform, and counted coup on his enemies. That, is something beyond most folks' comprehension.
Obama said in his remarks that Joe Medicine Crow was a Congressional Medal of Honor recepient, when in fact that is incorrect. Medicine Crow is a Presedential Medal of freedom recepient. Obama should know that, he hung the medal around the old mans neck just several short months ago.
THAT, is Obamas pet goat moment: he doesn't remember who he gave what awards to, and the reasons for which he gave them. Obama courted the Indian vote (yes, we still call them Indians in the west, and they still call us cowboys, and we do co-exist). The Crow Tribe adopted Obama; even gave him a name: "Barrack Black Eagle." The rest of YOU would really laugh if you know what they thought of him down on the Rez……….
I used to be a Democrat, no more after the last few months. Now I am just scared for my kids and country. What hath we brought upon ourselves? I never thought I would say this, but I miss Bush.
At least you knew that Pres. Bush loved this country, would do anything for it and would not go around the world bashing us.
Pres and Mrs Bush, both sets, were class personified.. The Obama's, not so much.
what do you think the appropriate response would be?
Thank you for continuing to post. Every comment shows what a liberal hack you really are, and more and more shows that you have NO REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE when it come to LIFE. What actually did you do before the Internet and who did you cry your rants to?
you are only comparing golf games. for a reason, because it makes Obama appear to be taking more time off than Bush.
i urge you to compare total vacation days. Bush was at his ranch "clearing brush" for the entire month of August, 2001. Just before we got hit.
Shout Out?
What is that, Negro ghetto Ebonics, for "I'm the cool cat hanging on the corner with my white bitches and we all be cool?"
Kiss my ass…..
Couldn't agree more with the teleprompter comment. The guy sounds like a bumbling hack when he goes OT (off-teleprompter). He has to say "ummm" a thousand times and measure every word he uses because he can't just come out and say what he really thinks because it would expose him as a communist. Nauseating.
The medal is frequently called the Congressional Medal of Honor, stemming from its award by the Department of Defense "in the name of Congress" though the official and correct title is Medal of Honor.
You'd think a random anonymous person on the internet would know that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor
Ya know, for all the leftisit vilification of Bush for this moment, I've never heard what they would have had him do instead. What could he possibly have done that would please them? If he had stopped the reading and rushed out, they would have crucified him for mindless panic and scaring the kiddies. You, ScottZ, are the lunatic.
leaving school children to take care of a national emergency is not an impeachable offence.
the commander in chief of the armed forces, knowingly being unavailable during the worst attack on american soil in history because he was reading a book to school children. that might very well be.
Ahhhhh…it took you this long to come back with the "Bush did xyz…so…" Red Herring.
Keep 'em coming, I'm here at work for another 5 hours! The morning went by slow, but now it should be fun!
So Obama has had how many weeks to decide what to do about sending troups to Afghanistan all the while playing golf and campaigning for Dems…real strong leader there too!!
The defining moment of the George Bush Presidency: 9/11.
The defining moment of the Barrack Hussein Obama presidency: ACORN.
Nice Slagle. Did you wake up and say "I think I'm going to throw a case of steaks into a den of hungry wolves."
Now you have everyone all wee-weed about a "Shout out" to Joe Medicine. Pretty funny is the saddest possible way. Teleprompter Tech Guy is probably like John Cusack trying to get out of room 1408.
It's amazing how liberals, such as yourself scott_z, equate the fact that when all do not agree that the liberal viewpoint automatically wins. I can't fathom the logic. Maybe all military service members don't agree with Mr. Slagle's statement but I can pretty well bet that MOST of our service members agree. That is called a MAJORITY scott_z and what makes the statement of the people. That showed in New Jersey and Virginia last week and may show itself again in another year.
talking points, my friend, do not an argument make…
Bush did return to his ranch, yes. You work every day as President. As did Nixon at San Clemente and reagan at his ranch. Conservatives generally have lives OUTSIDE of government. Obama never ahs had one- a life- that wasn't somehow sucking off the hind teat of the taxpayers. So 'clearing brush' was for exercise, not work.
So far all Obama has done is mouth platitudes, take no decisive stands, dither on the war, and let Pelosi and Reid rule- and take the hits- while he conducts an Imperial Presidency.
Wise up…
"So 'clearing brush' was for exercise, not work. "
and golf??? exercise, and meeting time as well.
you attack with one hand what you defend with the other.
So you think the Pres. of the U.S. should have run directly to his limo and picked-up his M-16, in case he was needed to take out a few muslims, or what?
It probably took more than just a few minutes for the Secret Service to get the logistics in place for an unscheduled move by the President. I think his time was best spent with the kids, rather than standing on the sidewalk tapping his foot while he waited for the Suburbans and limos to pull into place.

Dave,
Thats ok. Carnivores need fresh meat. The bloodier, the better………
See, Pres. Bush had this thing called TRUST in the personnel assigned to do their jobs. More importantly, those people under him trusted HIM also, which you can't say is the case now. How many more "meetings" do you have to have to MAKE A F'ING DECISION TO SUPPORT YOUR GENERALS!?!?!?!??!!
As has been asked – please explain what would have been "acceptable" for Pres. Bush to do? Go out and give a speech? Go out and see that all the authorities were doing what they were suppose to be doing – Air Force jets were in the air, ALL other flights were being directed to land. Could he have made those things happen FASTER by leaving? Be honest. You know you can't, because there is NOTHING he could have done that you wouldn't give his $hit for and you know it.
1) Bush shout out
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/12/bush-giv...
2) Bush, fundraising and laughing it up while Katrina hits and survivors perish
3) Common name, common reference. You wanna come to blows every time Bush flubbed a line or a name??? Deal with it.
All this has happened before, and will happen again. so stow your "outrage", it's patently absurd.
neither attacking nor defending. He didn't golf because in a time of war it was unseemly. Obama has no problem with that. Surely you can see the difference? Put down the Kool-aid. This guy's popularity is dropping like a stone, and you know it. His job approval is in th elow 40's and he hasn't been in office a year.
You are making a fool out of yourself…
My understanding is that the title infers that this man "helps his people." If so, I am sure that Barack Black Eagle's parents want to give him back.
"Was the murderer of Dr. Tiller a Christian Terrorist, and an attack on US soil? "
So you think Dr. Tiller was a Christian Terrorist? Odd, I'd never heard that take before.
"Maybe all military service members don't agree with Mr. Slagle's statement but I can pretty well bet that MOST of our service members agree"
on what basis exactly? your "gut feeling" is not fact, nor is it the reality such a diverse group of people that comprise the US military are feeling and experiencing right now.
"liberals, such as yourself scott_z, equate the fact that when all do not agree that the liberal viewpoint automatically wins"
When someone makes a claim, i just expect it to be backed up with hard data, or a reliable source. this is not outrageous. this is how sane, rational people evaluate the validity of claims.
unfortunately, many claims here are completely unsubstantiated.
"He didn't golf because in a time of war it was unseemly."
Bush played golf in 2003. We were at war then.

This is the best you can come up with?
Lefties don't understand about self-control. Bush was able to sit in that classroom without frightening the kids until he was given the word his staff was ready for him to calmly leave.
The fools commenting above will regret the weak coward they elected.
I only hope not too many more people die for their folly.
Yes, finally bringing Katrina into it!!
Do you know Scuzzy, that FEMA is NOT a first response organization? I'll bet you don't even KNOW who is responsible for First Response for Hurricanes and other Natural Disasters (and please don't try to lie, because here in HOUSTON I have first hand KNOWLEDGE of who's in charge of First Response).
Do you know when the Levies broke? Did the possibly break AFTER the hurricane was WAY inland over Alabama (hint: it didn't even hit NO, they only got the outer bands, not even the worst of it because they were on the north west side of the hurricane where the worst is the north east side. Maybe find out where THOSE hit – oh but you didn't hear anything much about that did you? Could it be because THOSE areas actually took care of stuff themselves??)
How many engineers informed NO and Louisiana for DECADES that the levies weren't being properly maintained. And who was responsible for that maintenance? That's right, according to your side, Bush and Cheney were personally there setting the charges to break the levies, right?
I would REALLY quit now, before you dig yourself deeper.
Where does Slagle say that "is it only "terrorism" when there might be a Muslim involved"? True, not all Muslims are terrorists, but all Islamic terrorists are Muslim. It's insanity to insist otherwise.
"and we'll have to take a break here. It was so nice to be able to be with you children today. God Bless you and god Bless America."
then, he jumps in the secret service detail, and is briefed with the details of the attacks on 9/11 and makes executive decisions regarding the security of the United States of America… you know… his JOB at the time.
why is this so hard for you to fathom???!?
Let's see – brother in law stationed at Ft. Hood – but THANKFULLY in New Mexico training for work up to go to Iraq.
Other brother in law about to retire after his 20+ in artillery and mortuary service.
6+ years in the Marines and being a disabled combat vet myself.
Yes, I CAN say I know. Can you?
are you seriously telling me you think it was more important for Bush to be calming those 20 children at story time than spending those twenty minutes being briefed on the 9/11 attacks and making policy decisions about the planes in the air, national security, etc?
are you for real???!?
Cowboy SHOUT OUT TO YA!!! lol funny!
Barry's got a lot of 'splainin' to do.
The Sunday Telegraph has reported the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas earlier this week was linked with radical imam, Anwar al-Awlaki, who was a “spiritual adviser” to three of the hijackers who attacked America on September 11, 2001.
Major Nidal Malik Hasan attended al-Awlaki’s Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists.

http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2009/11/0...
Now bugger off and go educate your own damned self!
Okay, I'm probably going to be crucified for my opinion, but I just watched the video and I can't get as worked up over it as most of you here. I didn't think the "shout out" was as jokey as I was led to believe it would be, and I don't believe Obama was waiting for his Ft. Hood remarks to be loaded into the teleprompter. He kept looking down at the podium a lot and even turned pages, so I'm guessing he had some printed remarks that were with him the entire time.
I'm no Obama fan, but I'm not going to criticize him for this – it's a no-win situation, same as Bush and My Pet Goat. The real tragedy is what happened at Ft. Hood, not whether Obama responded exactly as I would have done in the same situation.
"If he had stopped the reading and rushed out, they would have crucified him for mindless panic and scaring the kiddies"
ARE YOU kidding me? There was exactly one correct choice to make, and I think we all KNOW it.
Bush chose another path.
"It probably took more than just a few minutes for the Secret Service to get the logistics in place for an unscheduled move by the President"
no, it probably does not. to back up my claim, if the president (or nation) comes under attack, the SS cannot just say, hey wait a couple minutes, we're still getting ready. here ya go, why don't you read a book?
Yours is one of the more absurd claims i have yet to hear.
Sorry, you can't pull that. You would have bitched as much if not MORE for leaving the kids hanging and "scaring" them. You can lie to yourself and say you wouldn't, but you would and we all know it.
But I thought Obama has brain power to the 10th degree. We expected flubs from W. Obama is the most intelligent man ever…… at least that's what DNC is telling everyone. I'm thinking he's not a very smart man.
Wow! You've got BDS bad. You're attempting to knock down a giant so a dwarf will look tall.
"please explain what would have been "acceptable" for Pres. Bush to do?"
what he FINALLY ended up doing, AFTER he finished reading the book. That's what his job is. Not reading books to school children. There is a clear priority that should exist there, and the wrong priority was chosen
Face it, Bush FROZE under pressure.
Doc.
Thanks.
That's kind of the whole point.
Why would he have to WAIT for anything to be loading into the Teleprompter? Can't he say anything on his own?
you you think you and your brothers can speak for ALL servicemen?
The problem is, that when Barry speaks, I have a mental disconnect. He looses me, and I can't follow him. Perhaps it because I don't speak Ebonics, or Swahili.
ok then. what about Christian Terrorist Eric Rudolph?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Robert_Rudolph
um…no.
He continued doing what he was there to do, so as not to alarm the kids. It's something any PARENT would KNOW how to do. And I'll say again, Pres. Bush had people under him that he TRUSTED to do what needed to be done without him having to "oversee" it or give a freaking teleprompter address for. But as you keep showing, that is something you not only don't understand, you will NEVER understand.
you are digging, aren't you? Not exactly a reputable site. Either way, he did cease and desist. Speculating on his knee is silly, you can tape up a knee and golf. It stopped his running and he took up mountain biking instead.
That wasn't pointed out here. Bad site= bad intel.
"FEMA is NOT a first response organization"
it was before they lost their cabinet seat and got put UNDER DHS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Emergency_Ma...
I vote for the Harvard Law Professor. You are a tool.
Do you get paid by the post, or by the number of replies you get for your moronic statements?
Bwahahahahhahahahaaa
You link something that actually proves your point WRONG in the first paragraph.
"The primary purpose of FEMA is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster."
So now who is suppose to be the First responders?
how can one confuse the 'Blue Max' with the Medal of Fredom?
Only if you have absolutley NO clue about the difference. Yet more from the Chicago student posing as a President…
With all due respects. The man cannot say one word without a teleprompter. Further, even then they caint get it right. He refers to the Ft. Hood Army Base. I don't know where that is, but the incident in question happened at the Ft. Hood Army Depot.
Obama is so inept, I'd be willing to bet he caint fart without eating prunes………
And you can?
How many military people do you actually know?
And they are my sisters husbands. But then you can't get anything else right, so why should I be surprised at that.
Obama and his cabals are willing to sacrifice a few for the sake of reconciliations with muslim radical extremists. They handed Hasan an olive branch to make him feel inclusive. And so, what did we get? 13 dead and 30 injured.
Here you go again with wikipedia!
Katrina?
You want to babble about Katrina?
Quite frankly, if Bush had been smart, he'd have stationed the National Guard on the overpasses to prevent anyone from leaving, and had the Army Corps blow the levies.
"you would and we all know it. "
that is simply not true at all. to continue to read a child's book in a classroom for 20 minutes while our nation is under attack?
this is simply not how a commander in chief of the US military acts.
My thoughts exactly!
A clueless "poser" living life through his teleprompter.
All this clown knows, is he doesn't have to run out now in the evenings to Popeyes or Churches. He now has his chicken delivered………
If Bush is an idiot then Obama is an itelligent fool
Yes. We got a muslim, who we paid to educate, and when it came time to honor his contract, he wanted out of it.
" Bush had people under him that he TRUSTED to do what needed to be done without him having to "oversee" it or give a freaking teleprompter address for."
ok, so why have a president at all? All we apparently need is a number of people that a president chooses to TRUST, am i right?
HE WAS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. WE WERE BEING ATTACKED.
he had a place to be, a duty to perform, and it wasn't reading books to school children.
that you continue to defend the indefensible is curious.
Does he have a mobile teleprompter for Date Night, Golf and talking with his kids?
Only according to you. And it seems its only the wacko libs that have some deep seeded hatred for Pres. Bush.
So when a General YOU appointed asks for more troops, what's the proper response as Commander and Chief (it's capitalized idiot)? MONTHS of meetings?
When a massacre happens on a military base, what's the proper response? WAITING for some words to show up on a teleprompter while giving "shout outs" for the wrong medals?
You have no idea what these people wish for our country. You probably believe the man sneaking around you house at 3 in the morning just wants something to eat and would never rape and murder your wife and kids. pull your head out of the land of sunshine and lolly pops and come down to earth. When someone says that they will wipe the infidels off the face of the earth in the name of Allah they are talking about everyone who is not muslim. A.E. Christians, Jews, Buddhist, atheist,
scotty,
"this is simply not how a commander in chief of the US military acts".
You and I just agreed. The Militant Moocha Muslim Messiah is not the Commander in Chief. He is an imposter. When the feces hit the fan, watch what happens with the troops. I firmly believe that within the next three years, he will be led out of the White House,in shackles, with a Military Escort, and it won't be an honor guard.
only problem is some people- our friend Mr Z included- still take this guy seriously. Any cursory investigation shows you several things:
1) he has huge holes in his 'life story'
2) he has no clue about governance
Sooner or later everyone will see this…
At least Bush took the fight to them. Obama doesn't give a rip about the security of our country. In fact some of the most dangerous people in our country are his frequent guests in the White House.
wa alakum as salaam, sadeeqi. ismee scott. atakallum arabee li anna jalistu fi madinat doha, fi qatar li mudaate ithnayn sanaa.
I have to somewhat agree with you Scott. Bush's response was better than Obama's, but him wasting 20 min infront of the kids was not fruitful. I highly doubt the kids would have been "scared", instead likely disapointed.
I understand mneeding time to absorb what was just told to him, but as soon as he was told about the incident he could have gotten up do to an emergency.
I know many will disagree with me, but I'm trying to look at this fron both sides. But not agreeing completely with everyone else is a right we can all agree on.
Actually, the absurdity is what streams from your keyboard. At the time (you sound like you may have been a child back in '01) nobody knew what was going on. A plane had hit one of the Towers. No terrorist motives were known until an investigation had taken place. As a matter of FACT, we didn't know (again, at the time) that we were under attack. When the second tower was hit, that became clearer, but by then, Bush was already on the move. Bush is ripe for criticism on many issues, however, his response to 9/11 is not one of them (his economic policy of spending was horrid, but unrelated to this).
Was he supposed to go to the Batcave and jump in the Batwing? Put on his superman costume, and fly himself to New York? Hop in an F-16 and shoot down the second plane?
Take your meds, snarkster. Until Ft. Hood, we haven't been attacked on our soil since 2001, and Bush's response was a big reason (bigger than any of us without security clearance will ever know).
that is the current tasking. read about it's history.
What about him. He was a anti-abortion terrorist. I agree. He should be put to death (not life in prison).
Your point? Because he "claimed" he's Christian – all Christians must be terrorists then? The funny thing is – he's NOT a Christian. He might claim he is (and of course the left EATS it up on purpose), but nowhere in the Bible OR it's teaching does it condone violence. You forgive the sin and pray for the sinners.
But see, there are these parts of the Koran that does say that it's OK to kill non-believers. Maybe you should go do more research.
i challenge you to identify a more reliable, free source that i can use to back my claims, and i will cite that source instead.
