A SHORT HISTORY OF RIGHT WING DESTRUCTION PART 38

George W. Bush's greatest skill was taking vacations.  Just weeks before the attacks on September 11, 2001, Bush was at his make believe ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he got intelligence information that Osama bin Laden was planning a major attack on the United States.  Bush acted annoyed and brushed off the information.

When the attacks occurred Bush was in Florida at an elementary school reading "My Pet Goat" to school children.  When he was told of the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a plane that went down in Pennsylvania he looked like a deer in the headlights.  Instead of heading to Washington, D. C., or to New York he went West.

Later on,  he played the macho game by standing at Ground Zero with a megaphone.  But the real heroes on 9/11 were the first response teams and the passengers aboard the United flight that went down in Pennsylvania.  They prevented terrorists from crashing the plane into the Capitol.

It was an unbelievable dereliction of duty by Bush and his administration because there were sufficient warnings to prevent the attacks on 9/11.  Bush compounded the horror by launching an attack on Iraq, which had nothing to do with the attacks.  He also used the attacks as an excuse to pass tax cuts for his rich friends and to begin an assault on civil liberties in the United States.
