The New York Times’ Maureen Daud writes today [mod note, in her blog not in NYTimes] :

In a documentary soon to appear on Showtime, “The World According to Dick Cheney,” [Cheney said] “I got on the telephone with the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one location where we could both be taken out.” Mr. Cheney kept W. flying aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying hours.

“I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant moment.”

When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.”

No, that isn't how it happened, we all saw the movie Let's Roll. The passengers took over the plane and it crashed. Remember the phone call from the sky?

It doesn't say they shot it down, it says they gave the order. My understanding was the order was IF it acted in a specific way. But I don't really know.

Well why admit that he gave the order? Have you seen what was left of the wreck? Nothing, nada.

You mean the plane's fuselage, the mangled engines, the debris field, etc?


Oh yeah, I didn't see those either...

Does anybody hear think Cheney was surprised that Tues morning w/ the attacks?

Surprised it actually worked?

[DGambler]

Surprised it actually worked?


And is still working.

[TheGrinch]

Total BS, if he'd given the order to shoot down, then the plane heading towards the Pentagon would have been shot down.

See this testimony from Manetta (that was removed from the 9/11 commission report and archives, hmmm, wonder why). He said he was unsure what order Cheney was telling them to follow, but it's abundantly clear that it was a stand-down order:

They also claim the fighters were not close enough to 93 to shoot it down; they were focused on D.C. sometime between when the Pentagon was hit and Flight 93 reported crashed.

The pilots would probably still have to confirm the authorization before they actually fired.

But, but, we found a perfectly unharmed passport!

[dannno]

In fact, Cheney acted as if he was the president on 9/11.

Not at all, but certainly excited as hell

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

It wasn't shot down, the people on flight 93 heroically took control of the plane and traveled into another dimension.

[Aratus]

so we now hear how veep r.cheney micromanaged the response to 911
as we infer that our sitting potus micromanaged the benghazi response?

[klamath]

And people still think the VP has no power. Chaney ran that admin.

[Aratus]

as a contrast, we see BHO trying to condition his most partisan groundlings to
the very idea that vice president joe biden has to be taken seriously on occasion

[jmdrake]

I don't know how I missed this...but....bump!

So 9/11 is now allowed in GP? Don't ever put another thread of mine in Hot Topics. It will be remade here in GP if you do.

[Warlord]

Guess who was on AF1 with Bush on 9/11?

Jay Carney.

"The administration knew nothing then and it knows nothing now. Everything will be fixed in due course and we'll know more after we've conducted an official review to report back in an unspecified time period... next question?"

Progress? ;) Seriously, the reason for HT is becoming less and less apparent with each passing day. Out government is being openly criminal, (sicking the IRS on dissident groups, spying on reporters, stealing health records), some "conspiracies" are out in the open (Joe Biden calling for pastors to push for gun control, billions of extra bullets purchased, MRAPS for use inside the U.S.), and even MSM rags are admitting there really is a global banking conspiracy. So...why hide our light under a bushel?

I was just about to ask you the Jay Carney connection. Thanks.

[Warlord]

Check his wikipedia JMdrake. Amazing.

He's been a mouthpiece for a lot longer than I thought.

Exactly bro.

I think I would blow my own brains out, if I found myself needing to be "reassured" at any time, by either one of those cocksuckers.

Well stated.

There's really not anything else left to do if you're THAT desperate.

9/11 was an inside/outside job. Both CIA and Mossad were involved.

Try explaining this to people that don't realize that "Mossad" and "Assad" are different entities.
