pictures of a millennium

this is an iconic moment from the early 2000s. the exact moment when america knew it was about to change. and the only people who truly witnessed it were in this very room. his face says it all. shock and concern, his country was under attack and his people needed him. he became the hero that they loved then and would make jokes about for years afterward.in the following years he sent our troops to a place we didn't like to fight a war we didn't want. Gorge w bush wasn't a perfect man, but he did what he thought was right for the good of our nation, even if it was an unpopular opinion. that takes guts. or, maybe, something sinister was afoot. is it fear we see in his eyes? or the look of a man who's plan comes together. is that a furrowed brow? or the hidden smirk of a man who likes to leave thermite at ground zero. he wasn't a popular president before the attack. very little pull on office. he won by a small margin after all. this did get him the support he needed for a go at the middle east. is he the concerned hero of this story? or a wolf in sheep's clothing? we might never know. just remember kids, jet fuel ant melt steel beams.
