Reply #78: There is the key

how the administration reacted to the attack. Or rather, how they didn't respond. In June 2001, Rummie took control of launching NORAD in response to a hijacking. On the morning on 9-11, no one from Bush, Cheney to Rummie responded appropriately to the attack in progress until after the Pentagon was hit. They knew that a military response could not be launched if the three of them all happened to be 'out to lunch'. Funny thing all three admitted knowing about the attack shortly after the first plane hit, yet they did nothing for almost an hour.
