Does anyone know where Kerry was and what his reaction was...when the planes hit the towers...and then the pentagon? I've never seen that discussed..just curious.
God Bless America,

According to his own statement he was frozen, unable to think for 43 minutes. That is not a deer in the headlights like he slams Bush for, that is a deer dismembered by a semi truck. Semper Fi.

greenvale,

I don't remember exactly but I believe he was in some kind of meeting with several others. Someone had posted about a doumentary or special shown I think on PBS about 9/11 and how there is a shot of Kerry running and saving his own a$$ not helping others during the evacuation.

Marine4life is right, I have read where he sat frozen for 40-43 minutes. Wow and they complain about 7 minutes with Bush.

Kerry's action's of 40+ minutes scares the bejesus out of me. It shouldn't matter whether he was a Senator or President 40+ minutes is way to long to sit frozen and trying to comprehend what is going on.

If you have no responsibilities and nothing to do, it would take you 43 minutes as well to decide to do nothing but escape out the building w/out helping anyone.
