Fighter jets weren't scrambled to deal with the flight that crashed into the Pentagon until 9:30, and even if they had managed to reach it in time, there was nothing they could have done because the order to shoot it down can only be given by the President. That order was not given until sometime after 10am, when all four planes had already crashed. The order was also given by Cheney (who claims Bush relayed it to him over the phone) even though Cheney is not authorized to give such an order. Instead, at 9:30, President Bush was giving a live TV speech sending condolences to the victim's families and vowing to conduct a full-scale investigation. He wasn't even aware that two more planes had been hijacked, and that one was crashing into the Pentagon as he spoke. In fact, he said he was on his way back to Washington, unaware that Washington was under attack.

Why do I need to see the film to discuss President Bush's actions? He's not a character being portrayed in a work of fiction for goodness sake.

Hey, thank you for that.
And I've wasted as much of my life as I intend to on a board where one of the moderator's of "POLITICS" refuses to watch the most important political movie of the year, the very movie she's critizing ad nauseum on a thread ABOUT the movie lol!
She tells everyone the movie is a lie, that Bush's reactions were perfectly normal, etc. etc. etc. and hasn't even seen it - what a joke.
Let's hope that when election time rolls around the rest of America is more open-minded (maybe you can start your own little (I mean huge of course) country where Bush is president and the motto is: "Hear no evil, see no evil but speak evil and do evil like there's no God in heaven."

There were not any armed jets able to get in the air until after the planes had crashed.
