To have such plans, you have to think of all possible
threats ahead of time. But in this case, enough people
figured out what to do to handle it. Someone at the FAA
decided on his own to clear the air of all aircraft.
A sensible move, you don't know if there are more
aircraft that will get hijacked. But we had the people
in the government who were smart enough to make these
decisions as needed. So the president did have a good
staff.

My comment about Bush's not bailing out of a 2nd grade
classroom was that it tended to make him look as
if he was thinking "Oh Sh-t, now what am I gonna do".
Maybe the kids would be disappointed if I bailed
right then, but they'd soon understand that night that I had
a whole country to take care of.

robert:

Oh no, not at all...

My second in command of the military would know my wishes and take
immediate action--with my blessings...

.... it would be the same for all my "second in commands"...

Only an idiot would think one man really runs this country. Not even
bill gates can run ms all by himself... this country is a MUCH LARGER
problem to put under one man...

Indeed, old little georgie boy does something that congress doesn't
like and his little butt could be toast...

In the event of ANY threat, accident or other occurrence, a
contingency plan would already be in place which would cover the
emergency in question--indeed, if it were I which were president,
there would even be a plan in place which would ensure America is
quite safe and well protected and life could go on as usual with
EVERYTHING being taken in step, even upon my death, or even the death
of myself and a great number of my people. If you are president there
is no reason to expect the American people to settle for anything
less!

Indeed, even if I were blocked from communication and interaction, for
some period of time, my people would have been instructed what to do
until such time as I could take my place beside them.



So you can think of every possible threating event that could ever
possibly occur and be prepaired for it. Sure you can.

commander buzzoff:

You mean you bought georgies line?
The one where he is the only capable man of running this country?

Get real, cheney can do just as good a job...

The house speaker can too...

However, yes, I would have wrote down plans on what to do if attacked
by a foreign power....

.... would have written down plans if a giant meteor struck the earth
in my absence too... and the first step in BOTH instances would be to
raise the guard and do damage/tactical assessment--if a clear enemy is
evident--strike back--if the attack was conventional weapons--then use
conventional weapons, if nuclear--respond with a minimum megaton-age
of 10X that used against us (well, maybe not 10X, but at least 2X
grin.) Frankly, I can't go into any more detail here, if I win the
presidency--it will weaken my position having everyone knowing my
plans... ROFLOL!!!!

I believe was being done as the pres finished his little chat with the
kids... assessment and raising the alert level... no clear enemy was
identified at that time (even now that is difficult)

.... frankly, those kids are more important that a couple of
buildings--and, like you see here, takes awhile to get ahold of the
bad guys and string 'em up!

Did you see Farenheit 911? Always working on .... things. Golly, he
seemed
so indecisive in Florida with the schoolchildren when the first tower was
hit. Eyes kept going back and fourth ... then the secret service guy
whispered in his ear (the second tower was hit). Still he sat there with
his eyeballs clicking back and fourth.


If I was president, I would have just terminated the
classroom photo op. "Sorry kids, something's come up,
I gotta go." Even if I didn't have a clue as to what
to do about it, I'd still split. Maybe go to the
principal's office and borrow the phone and call various
people at the Pentagon and such.

Back on topic, the FCC released it as a proposed rule
making. But unless someone can come up with a really
good reason to keep code, it will be history. But
I doubt that there is anything about code that the
FCC hasn't already seen.

All the arguments on both sides have been presented a multitude of times.
Since there's really nothing new to be said, I'm pretty sure this will go
through in this form.

Did you see Farenheit 911?

Are you laboring under the naive misimpression that Moore's flicks
are anything but *fictional* works _loosely_ based on history?

Kodak was canceling traditional photographic products and laying
off staff during the Clinton administration. The fact that film has
been
rightly replaced by digital capture has essentially nothing to do with
politics or the President.

It having been a few years since the last round I and prehaps other
could a use a reminder. Doesn't the FCC have to take some action
beyond this to put there new rules in effect


Yes. First they will allow a comment and comment reply period. After the
close of that period, they will "digest" the comments. Then finally they
will issue a Report and Order with an implementation date specified. It's
my guess that this will be done around the first of the year.
