Reply #60: The fact that no one in the top command positions reacted appropriately [View All]

should be proof enough that 9-11 was a MIHOP event


On Sept 11, 2001 at about 9:00 AM Bush arrived at Booker Elementary. When Bush stepped out of the limo, he already knew that a passenger jet had hit the WTC and that there were other hijacked planes in the air. Bush wasn't the only one who knew this. Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Myers, Tenet were all told about, or saw on TV, the first attack. By 9:00 AM all of them knew that a terrorist attack was in progress.

All four planes were scheduled to take off by 8:01 AM. If everything had gone according to plan, then by 9:00 - 9:15 AM at the latest, the attack should have been over. However, two of the planes took off late, with flight 93 taking off 45 minutes behind schedule.

If all of the planes had left on time, Bush wouldn't have gotten stuck sitting in a 2nd grade classroom reading, My Pet Goat, waiting for the attack to finish.

Cheney wouldn't have had to just sit in his office with Condi watching the attack on CNN but otherwise not reacting, until the SS came to drag him out, when they found out a plane might be heading to DC.

Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz wouldn't have had to continue with their meeting, claiming that they didn't think there was anything they could do about the attack at that point anyway.

Myers wouldn't have had to go into Max Cleland's office, leaving instructions with the secretary not to disturb them.

Tenet would not have finished breakfast in DC and then tried to drive through DC traffic, all the way to Langley, VA before checking in.

Now I can understand one or two people reacting inappropriately, but not every single person in the top leadership positions. The only reason I can come up with to explain all of these odd reactions is that they knew. They knew what was going down and they had to wait for it to be over before they could react.
