Ok - so who ordered them to stand down? Bush??? He was with people all morning? Tell me, who ordered this? Who would have had authority to do this and you want me to believe that that person was alone and others were not around???
If you cant give me evidence of this, than STFU.
Your conspiracies are foolish.
I doubt Bush took the initiative. He was just a figurehead.
Here's your answer: Somebody ordered a stand down. Or maybe call it stalling the people that scrambled the jets.
How do I know? B/c it is an impossibility for 4 planes to be hijacked by terrorists simultaneously without drawing attention to themselves.
For some reason, you say incompetence, the hijacked jets were allowed to reach their destinations. I say you are hopelessly naive with your explanation.
