this is from the conclusion-
Were the orders stand down orders or shoot down orders?
Norman Mineta and General Arnold and the 9/11 Commission all agree that no shoot down
orders were issued prior to the crash of Flight 93 ( that was after the pentagon strike). For the orders still stand commands to
have been shoot down orders, if the Executive Order (either Presidential or Vice-
Presidential) that still stands given prior to 9:20 a.m. was a shoot down order, then,
according to General Arnold, this order did not reach NORAD or the United States Air
Force until after Flight 93 went down in Pennsylvania after 10:00 a.m., a full 45 minutes or
more after it was given. This possibility defies credulity and cannot be believed. In addition,
the no-fly zone order given at 9:45 a.m. is eliminated as out of the timeline for issuance of
the pre-9:20 a.m. order.
The facts prove: that a shoot down order for Flight 77 was not issued prior to the
Pentagon strike at 9:37 a.m., the non-existence of a shoot down order for any aircraft
until after 10:00 a.m, and confirm the following:
That the Vice-President of the United States, Richard Cheney, with full
knowledge of the fact that a hijacked passenger jet airliner was hurtling toward
Washington D.C., with full knowledge of its distance at regular intervals of a
minimum of 50 miles (probably more so because mineta didnt enter until 920) out from the Capitol, in fact not only did not act to
intercept or shoot down the airliner despite the two earlier hijacked planes
hitting the World Trade Center, but issued a direct order to the U.S. Air Force,
either by himself or from the President of the United States, NOT to shoot down
Flight 77 prior to it hitting the Pentagon.
