What If...? Bush prevented 9/11?

Warning: I am not "pro-Bush". I just want you to THINK.

Earth Second-guess

President Bush acts on the August 6th Memo:

It is my belief that the threat of Osama bin Laden and his Al-Quaida organization hijacking
a plane is too great to ignore ... We must get more information, but we must also act ... I have decided today to close all airports for the next two weeks. During those two weeks, we will be working with the airline industry to ban all Middle Eastern visitors in our country from flights. We need the two weeks to gather and collate the data.

"We understand the impact that this will have on the economy. We know that many of the people that will be banned are innocent in this matter. I apologize to all of you who will be affected by this decision. Unfortunately, our hand has been forced by forces outside of our country -- forces that would seek to harm this country.

"We cannot afford to have a hijacking. The risk to the lives of those people must be prevented. And Osama bin Laden must know this: we will not yield to threats, and no man will be released from prison because of his action."

--President Bush, August 8th, 2001

LETTER TO SENATOR LOTT CONTAINS ANTHRAX

The fourth Anthrax letter has been discovered -- this time in the office of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott.

"It is clear that terrorists are attempting to shake our resolve in this time of crisis. With massive unemployment and the strong possibility of a hijacking, we are facing the time of our greatest tribulation," stated Senator Lott from the steps of Capitol Hill.

The other letters that contained Anthrax were sent to the home of Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch, and the White House.

Senator Lott has been one of the few Republicans to remain faithful to the President, as the majority of Republican and Democrat congressmen have moved quickly to impeach.

... The FAA has already admitted that finding the cause of the crash will be "pretty much impossible."

"It will take months to dredge up what we can ... and there is a very real possibility we will never find the black box," stated an FAA official.

BUSH FINALLY BACKS DOWN

"It is with a heavy heart that I have ordered airlines to resume business as it was prior to August 8th, 2001.

"Despite our best efforts, we were unable to discover the true nature of the plot that Osama bin Laden had in mind. We have not yet found the operatives that live here in the United States, nor when or where the hijacking may occur.

"Because of this, I would ask all airline pilots, stewards and stewardesses, and anyone else aboard a flight, remain vigilant. If you see anything suspicious, do not be afraid to let the crew know. Until we can get to the bottom of this murky plot, we ask you, the American people, to keep your eyes open and remain alert."

AMERICA ATTACKED

The nation is reeling after today's apparent terrorist attack that occurred in New York City, Washington D.C., and San Francisco.

The attack started at 8:15am, when a plane crashed into one of the Twin Towers in downtown Manhattan. Twenty minutes later, horrified bystanders watched a second plane narrowly miss the other Tower, and crash into the Hudson River Highway.

Within five minutes, reports came in that a third plane had crashed into the White House, and a fourth plane had slammed into the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The bridge collapsed an hour after the initial impact, just as the sun rose over the Pacific Ocean.

At 9:45am, as firefighters rushed to help evacuate the World Trade Center building 1, the impacted Tower fell, leaving a massive cloud of dust and debris in its wake. It's unknown at this time how many people were in the building, or at the White House or San Francisco. There were approximately 400 people combined on the four planes that crashed....
