While George W. Bush runs campaign ads with 9-11 images in the background and has flip-flopped on his assertion he wouldn't answer the 9-11 commission's questions for more than an hour, even though he devoted two to three hours to filming an ad, and while talk radio demagogue Rush Limbaugh falsely accuses some 9-11 family members as receiving political funding from Teresa Heinz-Kerry, it would be profitable to note some of the oddities of 9-11 that scream out and wave for attention like shipwreck survivors on an island.

Bush had to have known about the New York attacks on the morning of 9-11 prior to his departure for the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Just after 8:48 a.m., a reporter asked him if he knew of what was going on in New York. Bush answered that he did. The video points out that although Bush has been portrayed as a decisive commander in chief on the morning of 9-11, he remained utterly indecisive, glued to a pet goat story. [1] Researchers have claimed that Bush lied about watching the first plane crash into the north tower because he couldn't have known itóthe video clip didn't surface on television screens until later in the day. So, how did he know? He knew because he had been informed earlier in the morning. The implications of this informed speculation stagger the mind.
