I have not seen Farenheit 9-11. So I am obviously not in a position to comment on the movie and I will not do so here.

With that said, one of the much discussed "Ah ha!" moments in the movie is that clip where President Bush continues to read to the school children for a full 7 minutes after he's informed of the attacks.

Now, some Bush supporters (aplogists) are saying that the moment doesn't really prove anything. The President only wanted time to think through the situation and not scare the kids.

Okkkkaaayyyy. Suurrrre. Yeah, riiigghttt.

For one thing, since when was Bush a thinker? For someone who, per his own admission, doesn't read newspapers, can we really believe that he spent a full 7 minutes carefully thinking through the ramifications of the attack and about what to do? I don't think so. Not from him, this man who shoots first, asks questions later.

More likely, he was flummoxed - probably wishing Cheney was in the room to tell him what to do. They guy wasn't thinking, he was bewildered and afraid.

Simple as that.
