Further evidence that Vice President Cheney’s order on 9/11 regarding Flight 77 was not a shoot-down order, but a standdown order - an order NOT to shoot the plane down.

Excerpts from 9/11 Commission Testimony, May 23, 2003
NORAD Major General Larry Arnold’s testimony and verbal exchanges with Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton of the 9/11 Commission.
Page 47-48 of the official 9/11 Commission PDF file transcript (emphasis added)
MR. HAMILTON: And then, finally, as I understand your testimony, it was not possible to shoot down any of these aircraft before they struck. Is that basically correct?
GEN. ARNOLD: That is correct. In fact, the American Airlines 77, if we were to have arrived overhead at that particular point, I don't think that we would have shot that aircraft down.
MR. HAMILTON: Because?
GEN. ARNOLD: Well, we had not been given authority --
MR. HAMILTON: You didn't have authority at that point.
GEN. ARNOLD: And, you know, it is through hindsight that we are certain that this was a coordinated attack on the United States............. |
