Did they pose for this photo, or is it an actual live-action shot?

I'm not disputing that the photo was taken on 9/11/2001 (there is apparently some controversy about that). I'm more interested in whether you think this was a posed and set-up picture, or if a photographer was hanging back and taking photos of actual movements, etc.

1. Frankly I am surprised

That Bush isn't holding the wrong end of the phone to his ear!

8. From this angle, it doesn't look like any of the lines are lit. . .

so maybe in this photo it's another aspect of "technology" that has him flummoxed.

14. Yeah can't tell if they are lit..

I was thinking of this..

2. Apart of the who cares?

Just for info, a photographer travels...so yes, the WH photographer took it...

But really who cares.

4. I know they had a photographer, maybe it's because of that idiot pointing

it reminds me of a promo picture I had to be in at work, where we all had to stand together looking like we were working, and it looked absurd :)

3. pointing fellow wants the woman off the phone. Other phone fellow ordering a double cheese special.

Do they deliver to secret locations?

5. They posed for this photo - that much is obvious!

6. I'd go with photoshopped.

7. Any idea of who the woman in the white lab coat (?) is ?

9. Condi, I think they ordered green stuff on my pizza.

10. it's live action

Bush is ordering a pizza with extra anchovies and the pointing guy is saying "Look at that, we are totally gonna invade Iraq now!!"

11. Bush was in FL at 9:30 a.m. or thereabouts. Then, he had to wait to be flown out

of Florida, and I think Air Force One had to fly around for several hours? Before he landed in D.C.

This guy went to bed every night for 8 years at 9 p.m. Laura complained that they never entertained or had State Dinners. I say this is a "photo-op".

12. Dimson was probably calling Poppy or Darth for instructions ...

:shrug:

[Bluebear]

13. He's calling domInos. Or the liquor store.
