Bush: There's (two) terrible pilot(s)

* regarding the latest iteration of Preznit Blinky's story about what he thought when the plane(s) hit where he said last week:

"“On a situation like that, it takes a period to understand exactly what was going on,” Bush said. “When somebody says ‘America is under attack’—you’ve got to fully understand what that meant. And the information coming was haphazard at best for a while. We weren’t sure if the State Department got hit. I’d heard the White House had got attacked. Of course, I was worried [about] that—my family was here.”"

As I said here reporters confirm Bush knew about the first hijacking about 8.30am and the 8.48 Nth tower impact before entering the elementary school. His conversation with Card (9.05) was 30 minutes after he first became aware there was a problem. When later asked about his reactions to those remarks Bush claimed he believed both tower impacts to be accidents due to pilot error. Given previous intel warnings of likely bin Laden airline attacks, and the fact that Bush knew the first plane had been hijacked, his remarks ought to be seen as straight out lies. What for? Well they did cover for the complete failure of NORAD on 9/11. Some coincidence.
