Bush Knew and Did Nothing

Damn it, I had an excellent post introducing Take Back the Media's "Bush Knew - An American Requiem" that I saw last night via One Girl's Life but one misclick and it was less than vapor. Oh well, I'll attempt to recapture it as best I can. I watched Bush Knew last night and it was terribly painful to relive those horrible moments as the World Trade Centers were hit and people began to die.

It is powerful, moving and infuriating to see, side by side, the events unfold at the World Trade Center and what George Bush did. He had the time and the sole authority to give the okay to shoot down passenger planes that refused to respond to radio calls to turn away. He could have and should have acted to stop further attacks. He did nothing. In fact, he did read a book to some elementary school kids about goats so I guess that is something. But it is far, far less than should be expected of the nation's leader.

Watch it all the way through and then decide if you still think Bush is worth your vote or your confidence.

It has made me thoroughly rethink my "war" with the neighbors and that we need to be united against our common enemy rather than squabble over a stupid dent and some lies and rudeness. We'll see how that sentiment looks by the end of the day but I am thinking that extending the olive branch of peace might be called for.

Also, came across UNELECTABLE-BUSH via One Girl's Life as well. I think I will be making another category of linked blogs, Blogs Against Bush and sites dedicated to honest reporting of the facts as well as exposing the farce that is Bush's re-election campaign.
