Gruss, you're ranting. You know I'm no Bush fan, but in all truth, his reaction time was irrelevant. The reaction time of the FDNY, NTSB, Air National Guard, etc. THOSE were critical. None of them were dependent on the President to move them to action. They are all empowered to deal with emergency

We clearly have a difference of opinions. I don't know what was said between Bush and his advisors. But I cannot fault a man for trying to run through all the possibilities before committing to action. I wonder what FDR did for the first 7 minutes after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Do think there wa
