I have tried to explain this many times... what Bush was saying was that he "saw a plane hit the tower."

This is analogous to saying "I saw a huge accident on the freeway."

Of course I didn't really "see" the accident occur, all I really saw was ambulances, wreckers, cops, an overturned semi, and 5 other wrecked cars.

Note I'm not a Bush shill. lol. He's guilty as sin, just not with that statement!
