Alright, I want to settle this thing. Found a very succinct quote, from the Chief of Defense Protective Service (DPS) - law enforcement authority at the Pentagon - about the period Secretary Rumsfeld removed himself from communication. It was given as a matter of record for the Historical Office of the DOD:
I hate to explain things that should be obvious to anyone that wants to claim an opinion (hi, Ropo) but: by being in the National Command Authority, it was Rumsfeld's job to see that Rules of Engagement were in effect for a mass-murdering threat that had shown itself to exist not once, not twice, but three times at the point he disappeared from communication.
No rules had been established: there had been no attempt to take even a single step toward doing that, despite the time that had passed since the first two attacks. That is a cold, hard fact - as seen in the official 9/11 Report itself.
By being in such a state, the probability of an attacking plane to successfully destroy buildings and kill in mass numbers, etc., was dramatically raised. By being in such a state where the Secretary cannot be contacted, it is all but guaranteed.
That's why it is beyond striking, that the Secretary removed himself from communication.
Well, that could be striking for some foil hat imbecile, but other us see things differently: What you stupid's are unable to understand, is for example the timeline. First strike were North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. That seem to be just a freak accident and it didn't even rise a panic. Shit happens. Second strike were the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m, and at this point it seem to be evident that it was a terrorist act, but only few knew that there were still two airplanes which doesn't answer the calls. The hit in the Pentagon was at 9:37 a.m., while secretary Rumsfeld were in the meeting in it. At 9:40 a.m., the FAA grounded all aircraft within the continental U.S.
In what moment secretary Rumsfeld should have spring at the bat cave and save the world? Between 9:03 to 9:40 there were hundred of planes over the USA, so it would have been funny to see how trigger happy USAF fly around and shot down everything which moves, because just about no one fucking knew where those two planes were, and those few who knew, didn't know the whole picture. You have to face the fact that the ragheads surprise USA it's pants down, because you were living in the arrogant illusion believing that no harm can come upon you. There is nothing what Rumsfeld could have done in that timeframe, which would have some effect to the outcome. It is only in your imagination, and imaginations of the foil hat morons, that stool water of the human kind. Just look what your highest commander, the president were doing? He was sitting in the day care center, reading fairytales with his book upside down. That is perfect poster picture of things which went wrong at the 9/11: there were a terrorist act, and then the historical clusterfuck, where bunch of apes went apeshit. Fact is, that your military etc. organizations couldn't do better even if they have receive a invitation at this event week earlier, because command chains and connections between civil organizations and military were too complicated. It is so fucking easy to look back and try to invent new meanings to things which went wrong, but the bottom line is still same: there were no conspiracy which involved USA government etc., there were no controlled demolition, only uncontrolled fucking morons running around with their big heads banging together
