I was simply trying to use the example as a case for Bush's possible foreknowledge of what was going on. After he was told "Sir, a second plane has just hit the trade centers, America is under attack." He sat there absolutely expressionless and staring out onto the floor as if deep in thought. If you look at his face and again, with his two mismatch statements I said earlier, it looks to me like he knew this was going to happen and he was not really effected by it, he seemed to be thinking about what he was going to say to people about it afterwards. And I know its a completely separate issue, but most people have come to understand by now, how he had always wanted to return to Iraq. We can all argue about the WMD, the fake info, his Father, etc...But I think that after this tragic event, it was easier to justify the need to go over there.
A vague example, I realize. But to me, these mannerisms are very indicative.

Indicative that you have no idea what reality is. If you were on a PR tour and suddenly you were dropped with a bomb like OMG PLANES ARE HITTING THE WTC, you'd undoubtedly come to the conclusion that your life has just changed in a way that can never be undone. I'm pretty sure the first thing he thought was, "oh ****." He couldn't freak out in a classroom with children and news crews in front of him, so I can only imagine that he was trying to play it cool while he tried to figure out what the **** was going to happen next.
I know someone like you who used to be a pretty good friend of mine. His difference was that he hated Bush so much that he truly believed that he would inflict all this carnage on his own people just so that he could invade the Middle East. He also said that the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan should kill as many of our armed forces as possible, because we had no right to be there. This same friend served in the Army, but went AWOL because he wanted to go to a punk concert. Now he's in a local anarchy movement where he tries to conduct missions against the fur trade industry and will vandalize vehicles that have pro-Bush or military bumper stickers on them. He's a god damned idiot.
