REVEALED SECRET KEPT FOR 15 YEARS What exactly is Bush said after September 11?

Notes former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer have written at the time when it was known to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, decided to publish on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of that event.Six pages of handwritten reflect the shock, pain and determination that has gripped the US presidential plane. This is the only original transcript of what the then US President George Bush and his aides talked on the plane

- We are at war. When you find out who did this, I will not like them as president. Someone's going to pay - he said in a telephone interview the then Vice President Dick Cheney. Bush was visiting Florida at the time of the attacks on New York and Washington, a presidential plane into the air as soon as it was known for coups.

- Always take notes. So do my job - said Ari Fleischer

- But 11 September it was especially important because I had to write down what the president said and did. That sticks himself to a chair all day, listening and writing - he added.Although some parts known to the public, Fleischer notes has not yet been published in its entirety. They show that Bush was inundated with raw emotion and that he was eager to take revenge.

- I can not wait to find out who did it. And when I do, we will not only hit by the hand - he said.

Fleischer described and that Bush tried to persuade the Secret Service to immediately return to Washington, but he does not succeed - the presidential plane landed first at the airport in Louisiana, but the base in Nebraska and Washington have landed only at night.

- I wanna go home as soon as possible. I do not want to be that person holds outside Washington - Bush said, referring to the organizers of the attack.

- Our people say it is not yet certain - he is one of the contributors, adding that the same thoughts and Cheney.In Fleischer notes of the sentence and you are on the plane heard in communication with the ground: "The angel is going."Since the code name for the presidential plane that day was "Angel" on the plane are thought to be the next target of the attack. Therefore, members of the secret service standing in front of the cockpit door in case the attacker is on the plane. Later it turned out that it was an error in communication.

President Bush, then on duty was only eight months, had another priority in mind: the safety of his family. My wife Laura and two daughters were taken to a safe location.

- A Barney? - Bush said, asking for his Scottish terrier.

- Already on the heels of Osama bin Laden - said his chief of staff Andrew Card.
