What it is wrong with this picture?

According to the official account, Andrew Card whispered that a second plane had hit the World Trade Center and there was a national emergency.

Here's how Bush described that moment at a California Town Hall meeting January 5th:

"Andy Card came and said, 'America is under attack.'"

If his Chief of Staff tells the President the country is under attack, the President would discuss it. He would ask questions. Demand more information. Leave the room. Meet with advisers. Do *something*. But Bush just sat there.

The Chief of Staff is the President's *employee*. If he tells the President, "America is under attack" the President would *give him orders.* But Bush said nothing - not one word. And Andy Card didn't wait for instructions; he rushed away.
