I agree. It seemed like he was trying not to cause panic in the room, and maybe think for a second. There was literally no good move.
Especially because for the next week 90% of the country would have approved and begged him to commit genocide on all Muslims. The same people who would be anti-war 4 months later.
Remember when it became a meme to this day that Bush took a few minutes to compose himself and finish reading to children on 9/11?
Biden would be indisposed for a huge chunk of that 3 hour event with breaks.
That always seemed unfair to me. Bush 2 did some stupid and awful shit but he was in a no-win situation that morning.
yeah if he had stormed out people would have criticiseid him for upsetting the kids
