Actually, Bruce, I pretty much agree with you. I think he was wrong to just sit there, but I don't think it's a big deal. So the guy freezes in an emergency for ~10 minutes. The reality is that we aren't that likely to have a similar emergency out of the blue in the future. And there has presumably been a lot of planning going on since then, so reactions (even his) will hopefully be better next time.

But my position is different on this one issue than lookout's, for example, who says he did the right thing by doing nothing. UT also defends him, but is wrong in implying that Bush only knew about the first plane as he sat there. Bush knew about both planes at that point.

Is it a big deal? I don't really think so, but it certainly was not right. We were in the midst of an attack, and he just sat there. He had bad instincts. I can't believe anyone would try to spin it another way.
