Was he supposed to jump on Air Force One, head to NYC, take a taxi to the burning hulks, run up 100 flights of stairs, and jump?

Dear god - am I going to defend Darth Vader?!

Look, if 9/11 were to have happened on Obamas watch guess what would have occured.....Obama would have been hustled out of wherever he was onto airforce one and would have been flown to Omaha. Biden would have hunkered down in the bunker (although Biden quite probably would have 'tweeted' his experience, but still..)

One of the most idiotic threads I've seen.

West Point is a 15 minute flight from Manhattan - maybe if Cheney wasn't hiding and Bush wasn't reading a freaking children's book the other 2 planes could have been shot down before mass civilian casualties

So now you expected Bush and Cheney to be flying around in fighter jets looking for civilian planes to shoot down? wtf is wrong with you?

West Point is the US Army's elite college. There is no fighter wing there.

Methinks you are just winding people up.

I think if anyone has read Richard Clarke's account of 9/11 from within the White House would have a better idea of the sentiment being expressed by the thread author. According to Clarke's account describing Cheney as "cowering" during the attacks wouldn't be far off the mark.

That is a credible source.
