President Bush yesterday:
Let me say one other thing about the 9/11. I told the commissioners right here in the Oval Office that had we had any inkling, whatsoever, that terrorists were about to attack our country, we would have moved heaven and Earth to protect America.
Yes, it would have been something if the president had some clue that terrorists were about to strike the United States. Imagine how things might have been different had the president received some warning like this:
Oh wait, he actually did. But I guess he was too busy moving brush at the ranch at the time to move any “heaven and Earth.” Or do anything whatsoever.
You’d think the White House journalists might grow weary of this sometime, but I suppose its all part of the game now. Besides, the news channels were all worked up tonight about the “stunning,” “chilling” video which offers the shocking revelation that 9/11 hijackers did indeed make it through the airport security checkpoints and onto the planes. I guess old stories magically become “news” if there’s matching video.
