 Haven't read it, but know it's a great money maker Jul 19, 2009
It's hard for writers to make money these days. For some reason the public doesn't watch TV or read the papers or books (how's it going, Barnes & Noble?) any more. Hmmm, I wonder why?
But you gotta make a living! Easiest ways are to write (1) a diet book, (2) something about Elvis, (3) or Princess Diana, or (4) praise Obama (what a guy!), or (5) bash Bush.
Now, unlike the uber-cool reviewers here, I haven't even read the book. Somehow I got the feeling that this is a hatchet job...I dunno, perhaps from the title?
Overall, I encourage y'all to BUY THIS BOOK. You don't need the money, everything's gonna be GREAT now and you'll be swimming in mucho dinero. Spend spend spend.

Dumb book Jan 05, 2009
It's always easy for an idiot to try to place himself in the place of power and command and assert all the great things that he would have done. You had to be there the author wasn't any closer to the action than you or me. Save your money. and wait for the real definitive books to come out.

TOTAL BS FOR SURE Sep 11, 2007
TOTAL TRASH.....MILLIONS OF WORDS HAVE BEEN WASTED ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT FOR HIS ACTIVITIES BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER 9/11. NOT ONE OF YOU HAS BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE ONE THING. PERIOD. GORE LOST TO HIM IN 2000, KERRY LOST TO HIM IN 2004, YOU CAN'T IMPEACH HIM, AND YOU CAN'T STOP THE WAR. YOU'VE ALL WASTED EVERYONE'S TIME WITH THIS GARBAGE FOR YEARS. WHY DON'T YOU GUYS DO SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH YOUR TIME? WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR ARMED FORCES THAT ARE SPILLING THIER GUTS EVERYDAY TO GIVE YOU THE TIME WRITE THIS JUNK

 An Important Work Sep 20, 2006
A chronology of President Bush's actions on 9/11, while available separately -- if not sporadically -- across many outlets, has never before been assembled in such a complete and compelling way.
The author's use of actual quotes from administration officials, juxtaposed alongside of his own sardonic anecdotes, presents the material in such a unique way that you feel as if you are having a conversation about the events with the author himself. The book's format makes it easily accessible and the text is something that could be used as a chronological reference for the events of that day in September.
A must read for fans of both humor and fact.

An alternately humorous and enraging presentation of Bush' failures Sep 16, 2006
This easy-to-read book has dozens, if not hundreds, of quotes from Bush himself and people from his administration, through which the reader can plainly see how Bush & Co. dropped the ball when it came to defending America from attack on 9/11. How these same people contradicted themselves and each other after the fact, and tried to make the Presidency's performance on 9/11 look much better than it actually was, becomes painfully obvious.
Schalow outlines the events of 9/11/01, minute by minute, and compares them to the inaction and incompetence of Bush and his cronies. Part of the point of the book is to show what an incompetent President we have, and what a difference having had someone in The White House who knew what he was doing would have made on that day. Instead we had a deer frozen in the headlights who, after having heard of the airplanes crashing into the WTC, continued to sit there and read with Florida schoolchildren, then promptly fled to the middle of the continent on Air Force One. Then, to add to the absurdity, starts acting macho and pissed off, long after it's obviously too late. To Bush, the response to the attacks began on 9/14, three days after the fact, and the President would rather you started remembering about how great he did starting then.
If you want to increase your knowledge of the truth regarding 9/11, I highly recommend this book. The sarcastic, witty style in which it is written makes a tough subject easier to handle.
