Watch Bush II do NOTHING for five minutes after being told on 9/11/01 that "America is under attack."


By jeremy - Posted on 05 April 2004

This footage, obtained and presented exclusively by The Memory Hole, shows President Bush sitting in a Florida classroom for 5 minutes after he was told that the second Twin Tower has been hit and that America was being attacked. He sat in the classroom doing nothing, not even showing concern or much of anything. This isn't being brave, this is being cold and detacted, which also happens to be a good summary of is presidence.

Click on this link and you'll find still-frames from the video, one every 5 seconds starting when Chief of Staff Andrew Card gives Bush the news and ending when the scene abruptly ends.
