So long Andrew '9/11 Co-Conspirator' Card!
Now that Andy Card has left the Bush Administration (and good riddens), let's review what makes him an obvious co-conspirator with 9/11:


Andrew Card is the one who infamously whispered "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack" into Dubya's ear in front of the cameras at the classroom reading event at Booker Elementary on 9/11:

White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card had informed the president of the first, seemingly accidental crash just as Mr. Bush arrived at the school. Then, at 9:07, Mr. Card entered the classroom and seized a pause in the reading drill to walk up to Mr. Bush's seat.
"A second plane hit the second tower," he whispered into the president's right ear. "America is under attack." - http://www.washtimes.com/national/20021008-21577384.htm">Washington Times (10/08/02)





The normal thing to do after giving an important person, such as the President, some terribly shocking, surprising, and urgent news that will require immediate attention to the situation after the news is given is to wait and see what reaction and instructions the person you're delivering this terrible and urgent news to will make.

However, Card doesn't do what the normal person would do after delivering such important and terrible news, he IMMEDIATELY backs up and walks away without waiting for a reaction from the President of the United States of America:



"I was uncomfortable about interrupting the president . . . But I felt if I were president, I would want to know." Card walked away from Bush immediately after delivering the bad news." - Boston Herald (09/08/02)

"White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card was with President Bush during a children's reading event at a Sarasota, Fla., public school when word came that planes had hit the World Trade Center. Card had to decide how to tell Bush without creating a national panic...
"I said those things into the president's right ear, and I stepped back." - SFGate (09/11/02)



Now Card and BushCo apologists claim the reason he immediately left the President after informing him that the country was under attack was to not "make a scene" in front of the cameras and the kids:

"I did not want to have a discussion with the president in front of that audience and in front of those cameras," he said. - Boston Herald (09/08/02)



But how did Card know Bush was not going to turn to him and react to this supposedly "terribly shocking and surprising" news?

One logical answer, Card was in on it too and the news he gave Bush wasn't shocking nor surprising, but was merely a progress report that Bush was waiting for (that's why Bush didn't turn towards Card and react to his "terrible" news) and that was all planned to be seen being delivered in front of the cameras to give Bush an alibi as to why he didn't immediately get in touch with the military to order a shoot down of the "airplane" heading towards Washington D.C. (that only he could do) and that alibi was he was in the middle of an event with 2nd graders and he didn't want to run out of the room and "scare the children."


A year later, Card LIES when he suggests Bush excuses himself from the classroom soon after he whispers in the President's ear:

"I said those things into the president's right ear, and I stepped back, because I did not want to invite a discussion from the classroom. He looked up -- it was only a matter of seconds, but it seemed like minutes -- and I thought that he was outstanding in his ability not to scare either the American people that were paying attention to the cameras or, more importantly, the students that were in the classroom.
And he just excused himself very politely to the teacher and to the students, and he left". -SFGate (09/11/02)



Of course we all know Bush didn't leave the classroom soon after Card whispered "terrible and urgent" news to him. We all know Bush did this:



"Bush was reading to a grade-school class in Florida at that moment. Instead of jumping up and leaving, he instead sat in front of the class, with an unfortunate look of confusion, for nearly 11 minutes.
There Bush sits, with no access to his advisers, while New York is being viciously attacked." - FOX News (06/15/04)





And does Bush immediately leave after finishing reading with the kids? No...

Sammon's conservative perspective makes his account of Bush's behavior at the end of the photo-op all the more surprising. Bush is described as smiling and chatting with the children "as if he didn't have a care in the world" and "in the most relaxed manner imaginable." White House aide Gordon Johndroe, then came in as he usually does at the end of press conferences, and said, "Thank you, press. If you could step out the door we came in, please." A reporter then asked, "Mr. President, are you aware of the reports of the plane crash in New York? Is there anything...", But Bush interrupted, and no doubt recalling his order, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING YET," Bush responded, "I'll talk about it later." But still the president did not leave. "He stepped forward and shook hands with Daniels, slipping his left hand behind her in another photo-op pose. He was taking his good old time. ... Bush lingered until the press was gone." "

We all know Bush knew, but it's clear that Card knew too.

So farewell to Andrew Card, you guilty piece of trash, lying sack of sh*t traitor.

1. very minor matter...
Good work, first of all. I like your Bush's day page very much.

The last pic in this post is not of Bush at Booker, however.

Bye.
