Sept 11, 2001: Did the Air Force send up planes after the hijacked aircraft? The Air Force won't say.

On the morning of September 11th. 2001, US Vice President, Dick Cheney(for the first time in American history)had taken complete control over NORAD - the national air defense. While Bush was reading "My Pet Goat" to a classroom of children. Quite the contrast, wouldn't you agree? 5 or more war game exercises, like "Vigilant Warrior" were going on that same morning. Exercises involving hijacked commercial airliners.

The Bush Administration(in the pockets of the oil, weapons and arms industry)required a "catalyzing event" that would sell the Ameican people on going to war to further Bush's preemptive war strategy. While simultaneously, starting a war with its own citizens- "The War on Terror". The war is making Trillionaires out of Billionaires and Billionaires out of millionaires.
