The only thing different I can surmise that a president *may* have done
immediately after that first plane hit is to seize the opportunity for a
quick photo-op by expressing sadness for "those who lost their lives in
that horrible, tragic *accident*" and perhaps to offer whatever federal
assistance available to the Mayor of NYC

He should have headed straight for AF1 and made sure that everything that
could be done to secure the skies was done.

And that's pretty much what happened. At that point the Secret Service takes
over, and until the threat is understood it is their duty to protect the
President.

You do understand the word 'duty' do you not?

Was he supposed to get up and announce

He didn't have to tell the kids anything. He found out about the first plane
hitting BEFORE HE LEFT THE HOTEL.

Instead of doing the photo-op at an elementary school, should have done his
damn job -- headed straight for the command center on AF1 and found out what
the hell was going on.

But at the time no one knew what was going on, it may have been a freak accident.
However, after the second plane hit, everyone knew something was amiss.

Use your head!

Not true. By the time, air traffic controllers (and NORAD) knew that four
airliners had suddenly made U-turns in the sky and turned off their
transponders.

Oh, by the way, your favourite pal, W.S., is a suspected plagiarist...

It's also fairly rich coming from someone who routinely posts the most
bizarre, loony left "analysis" on this board short of MWB, and which
is usually about as lacking in any knowledge of the facts as you can
get.
