7 minutes.
9 tops.
Lots and lots of Monday morning quarterbacking about 7 minutes.
He should've done cartwheels out of the office!
He should've know after the first crash! (which is probably accurate and heads should've rolled at FAA) (and even though reports had it as a small craft crash at first...I was listening live at that time)
7 minutes.
Boy, we could've caught Bin Laden red handed if he would have got out in 3 instead of 7.
And I retract the kool-aid statement. You were there and terribly close. For us listening on radio, it was not apparent until the second plane. I sat in my car for the same 7 minutes...mine realizing just what had occurred, grieving for those I knew to be dead and structuing what I was going to have to do in the next several hours to guard the safety of the company travelers that I was responsible for.

I'm just lazy
I assumed that the antiphonal "Never mind, he's on a roll" would be inferred.
Animal House reference?
Never mind...

Maybe thats what he was thinking.
Oh wait, if we listen to the critics he is incapable of thought.
Never mind.

Why are you complaining to me?
I said what I would do. I also made it clear that I'm not criticizing Bush for having done something different.
So why am I getting criticism from you on this? And how was I close to the kool-aid in your opinion?
And yes, I was closer than you, a lot closer. The people sorting body parts relaxed in the same lounge that I did. That's plenty close for me.

Apologies.
That entire line of questioning just annoys me...sorry.
Moore's koolaid, in my opinion, is the only reason anyone even wonders about those 7 minutes. You feel differently, respected.

That's odd
Moore's koolaid, in my opinion, is the only reason anyone even wonders about those 7 minutes. You feel differently, respected. I wondered about them the day it happened and it was aired on TV. I guess the movie must question it more intensely then, because I never worried about them, just wondered about them, and I never saw the movie, nor will I. Ah well, we can't get the 7 minutes back so we move forward. :) Nightowl >8#
