On the morning of 9-11-01 a Military Aide informs the Vice President in the White House Bunker that an unauthorized aircraft is just ten miles out from the Pentagon, and asks, sir, "do the orders (stand down orders) still stand?", and Richard B. Cheney whips his neck around and replies, "of course the orders still stand-have you heard anything to the contrary?", and then, in just moments, the Pentagon gets hit, and the World Trade Center Towers also got two hits earlier that morning as well.

Apparently, Cheney's stand down orders insured the success of the 9-11-01 attacks as NOT a single NORAD Interceptor Aircraft was on the scene, and NOT a single defensive missile was launched or shot fired, to defend the Pentagon and the World Trade Center Towers, thereby insuring that the hit on the Pentagon, and the two hits on the World Trade Center Towers, followed by the controlled demolitions at the World Trade Center Tower Buildings 1, 2, and also 7, not hit by an aircraft (all three blown up), could succeed, without delay or hindrance, to their destructive conclusions, in full compliance with Cheney's direct orders.

One George W. Bush put Cheney in charge for 9/11 only.

Secretary of Transportation Norman Minetta (at 1.30 minutes) makes it crystal clear as a bell that Cheney gave stand down orders for the 9/11 attacks to succeed LINK

USMC Intelligence Officer/CIA Clandestine Services Case Officer David Steele holds Cheney responsible for 9/11-"Cheney saw an opportunity for what Bush called his "Trifecta", and gave it to him by GIVING THE GO-AHEAD to ISI and Al Qaeda, and ordering up a terrorism exercise that ALLOWED him to send all relevant close-in air defense strip alert craft away from the target areas, and to disable the NORTHCOM normal response to flight path diversion" LINK http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2009/09/former-high-ranking-intelligence.html
