We did the Canadian Map then we watched a video about President George W. Bush and answered questions.
1. What was President Bush doing when he heard of the attacks?
He thought it was a light aircraft and he thought that the weather was bad or something happened to the pilot. When he heard about the second plane and that it was an attack, he was angry at first then he realized he needed to protect the people.
2. According to President Bush, what is the first thing a leader needs to do for the country in times of crisis?
Protect his country
3. Why did the Secret Service refuse to allow President Bush to go back to Washington D.C. right away?
Because that might be the next target, the ss thought it would be irresponsible to send him to the city that was just attacked (the capital)
4. What did the US government/military do to to ensure another attack did not occur?
They forced any airplane down because they found that the terrorists were using radio stations from planes to aim their attacks.
5. Why was President Bush sent to Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha?
Because they figured it would be the safest place for the the Pres to be because of the bunkers etc.
6. Why did President Bush eventually insist on going back to Washington D.C. later that day against the will of the Secret Service?
He wanted his information from the white house and he didn't want to cower in a bunker in Nebraska.
7. What was the point of President Bush's message to the nation on the evening of 9-11?
To be comforting, and to almost declare war without saying it.
8. Why did President Bush decide not to blame the CIA/FBI for not doing there job?
9. How did President Bush feel when he heard that Osama bin Laden had been killed?
