Reply #75: that terrible day, is the day I found DU

[newspeak]

I remember the threads that day--one DUer stated that he had just talked to a friend who was a pilot, and his friend told him that they were ordered to stand down. I remember that afterwards his friend came back to him and told him he was not to tell anyone because his friend who questioned the decision was reprimanded by his commander--I think his friend wound up being transferred to Europe. Remember, the administration (Cheney) changed the string of command in May, 2001, thus taking the decision of response from NORAD and leaving it in the hands of this administration. So, if the military was doing major exercises on 9/11, do you think it's merely coincidence that terrorists would use that day for their attack or did they have inside information in order to confuse the situation? And, if they did have inside info., who gave it to them? It's taken this long for some to know that the military were doing major military exercises on that fateful day. Well, I doubt not many still believe that the highjackers used boxcutters to keep the passengers in line--hell, I know some feisty grannies that could kick ass, if it was just a boxcutter!!!!! So, what really happened on that day? The people in this country and the world have a right to know--cause everything, I mean everything, this administration has done has been put at the doorstep of 9/11!!!!!! And, why would this administration reward incompetence? Unless, by rewarding incompetence--it's really competence because it's exactly what they wanted!!!!!
