Three months after the attacks on 9/11, Bush responds to a question about what he saw on that day. On two occasions he states that he saw a plane hit World Trade Center 1, even though there was no live video coverage of the first plane hitting the tower. Video of the first plane hitting the tower did not surface until after the second plane had hit World Trade Center 2.

So either Bush was lying to cover-up his administration's knowledge of the attack, or he did in fact witness the event on a TV, but in this case likely from a closed-circuit broadcast in his limo prior to entering Booker Elementary school. Notice in his response how Bush stumbles on his words after saying he was "sitting outside." 

The audio file has been slowed down to better comprehend the President's muddled speech. It's rather humorous as it gives the impression that Bush is in a stupor, even more-so than he normally is.

"I... was sitting outside... of the... the... the classroom waiting to go in... and I saw an airplane hit the tower... of a... of the T... you know the TV was obviously on.. and I... I... used to fly myself and I said well there's one terrible pilot. And uh... I said it must have been a... horrible accident... but I was whisked off there and didn't have much time to think about it..."

"There is a problem with the above statements. There was no live video coverage of the first plane hitting the tower. There couldn't be. Video of the first plane hitting the tower did not surface until AFTER the second plane had hit WTC 2. 

When asked if the President had been watching the events of 9-11 unfold on TV before he went into that classroom, Principal Gwen Rigell of Booker Elementary school stated 'Absolutely not.' There was no TV in the corridor or anywhere near that classroom.

If Bush really did see an airplane on TV hitting the World Trade Center, then he saw that the aircraft was under control at the time, and he saw it before arriving at Booker Elementary because he was en route to the school when the first plane struck WTC 1 - a closed-circuit live feed to his limo is the only way he could have seen this impact on TV.

It must also be remembered that even after Andrew Card informed Bush of the second impact, by his own admission Bush knew America was being attacked, but he continued listening to the reading skills of a classroom full of children. Just think about that for a while."

It stands to reason that when a country is under attack, the President would be considered a potential target, and under normal circumstances, would be immediately "whisked off" (to quote the President) to a secure location. Certainly no conscientious leader would needlessly endanger the lives of any citizen, let alone a child, by remaining in their presence -- unless of course they had forewarning of the attack and knew their location was already secure. 

Bush and his cronies were despised by much of the world and their visit to the school was no secret. If the attack had been purely unexpected, it's a certainty that Bush would have at least been hurried to the limo which was highly protected against a weapons or chemical assault.

When questioned about the President's actions during the crisis, an aid made the ludicrous excuse that Bush didn't want to frighten the children by making a hasty retreat. Surely even a child would understand the need for a president to cut short a visit to respond to an emergency. 

What do school kids do when the fire alarm rings? Ignore the warning and continue to study? I know if I had been the parent of a child present that day, I would have been outraged and demanded answers as to why there was such careless disregard for the vulnerable lives that Bush and his entourage potentially endangered.

Images of Bush and his cohorts in what appears to be a school room have surfaced since then, but under close examination they appear to be staged in an effort to cover-up the President's blunder.

The Congressional 9/11 investigation committee allowed both the President and Dick Cheney to give their presentation in a private hearing, together, without testifying under oath. 

George W. Bush's vague recollection and contradictory statements of what took place that day can only be taken as an admission of guilt, despite his obvious lack of intellect.
