Bush, delivers a farewell address from the White House in Washington, January 15, 2009. Credit: Reuters/Yuri Gripas By Jill Serjeant LOS ANGELES | Thu Jul 28, 2011 7:28pm EDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former President George W. Bush says his apparent lack of reaction to the first news of the September 11 2001 attacks was a conscious decision to project an aura of calm in a crisis. In a rare interview with the National Geographic Channel, Bush reflects on what was going through his mind at the most dramatic moment of his presidency when he was informed that a second passenger jet had hit New York's World Trade Center. Bush was visiting a Florida classroom and the incident, which was caught on TV film, and has often been used by critics to ridicule his apparently blank face. "My first reaction was anger. Who the hell would do that to America? Then I immediately focused on the children, and the contrast between the attack and the innocence of children," Bush says in an excerpt of the interview shown to television writers on Thursday. Bush said he could see the news media at the back of the classroom getting the news on their own cellphones "and it was like watching a silent movie." Bush said he quickly realized that a lot of people beyond the classroom would be watching for his reaction. "So I made the decision not to jump up immediately and leave the classroom. I didn't want to rattle the kids. I wanted to project a sense of calm," he said of his decision to remain seated and silent. "I had been in enough crises to know that the first thing a leader has to do is to project calm," he added. The National Geographic Channel will broadcast the hour-long interview on August 28 as part of a week of programs on the cable network called "Remembering 9/11" that mark the 10th anniversary of the attacks. The interview was recorded over two days in May, without any questions being submitted in advance, the channel said. National Geographic said Bush gives "intimate details" of his thoughts and feelings in a way never seen before. Most of the interview is about the first minutes and hours of the day that Islamic militants hijacked four planes and crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Executive producer and director Peter Schnall said Bush, who has adopted a low public profile since leaving office in January 2009, brought no notes to the interview. "What you hear is the personal story of a man who also happened to be our president. Listening to him describe how he grappled with a sense of anger and frustration coupled with his personal mandate to lead our country through this devastating attack was incredibly powerful," Schnall said. U.S. television networks are planning a slew of specials to mark the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks. Those on National Geographic also include a documentary on the continuing U.S. war on terror, and stories of ordinary people on Sept, 11 2001 called "Where Were You?"

And residue from the site of all 3 collapsed buildings showed traces of thermite – an easly made material of aluminum and iron oxide, that when ignited with a match / strip of violently flameable magnesium, will turn to molten iron and burn through anything. its been used to eg burn holes in safes etc. Something is amiss here. i suspect that more then muslim terrorism was involved, and that bushs knew something more. The whole world is taking to supporting gay marriage etc, the USA is the last of the significant western nations to give gays equal rights except for italy and greece. its an unstopable phenomena. Except in the USA. So it makes sense that those who so almost insanely oppose gay marriage might well attack the USA in concernt with their similar minded Muslim people, to drive people to fear. And fear helped keep Bush in office. Bush of course is a prototge of the ultra right wing xtians. His 2004 campaign won on his (anything but ) moral values statement. And the big lesson of the battle for marraige equality is that it doesnt matter what your religion is. Its which branch of that religion you subscribe to. Even the catholic church is split down the middle on this issue re their parishioners, resulting in the virtual death of the church in w. Europe. I’m just hypothsizing, but remember the story about the Holy Inquisition, when hundreds of thosands were tortured and murdered for daring to defy the church. and then you had the breaking story of the endless molestation of children by the church. And there is plenty of evidence that some liberal popes were murdered by the hierarchy to prevent further reform. This alsos comes out in the story by dan brown -the davinci code. Anything is possible, especially when a 2000 year old institution with a history of horrible acts – the inquisition, the crusades against the muslim peoples that killed tens of millions, the hatred of jews which a catholic named hitler – still Unexcommunciated – used to gain power and 55 million died.
