...he gathered the press and THE STUDENTS in the school library and announced that the country had suffered a terrorist attack. Remember, these are the same children that he supposedly didn't want to alarm and yet he makes that announcement in front of them. More important is the fact that no thought seems to have been given to the possibility that the terrorists might try to target Bush at the school seeing as he was at a publicized photo-op. If the terrorists had done that those children would have been caught in the middle. The longer he stayed at that school the more he was pressing his luck and the luck of the students and faculty. He pressed that luck for considerably more than 7 minutes.
