Cheney Admits that He Lied about 9/11
In a documentary on Showtime , “The World According to Dick Cheney,” in the Spring of 2013, Cheney said, “I got on the telephone with the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one location where we could both be taken out.” Mr. Cheney kept W. flying aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying hours.
I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant moment.”

When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.
In other words, Cheney pretended that Bush had authorized a shoot-down order, but Cheney now admits that he never did. In fact, Cheney acted as if he was the president on 9/11, with NO authorization from Bush.
Cheney falsely linked 9/11 with Iraq; there was no torture (Cheney personally oversaw American torture), according to the CIA Director; falsely claimed that spying on Americans, torture, the Patriot Act, the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war and the “war on terror” were all necessitated by 9/11,when, in reality it is well documented they were all being planned prior to 9/11; falsely stated that an attack such as 9/11 was unforeseeable, when the Clin ton administration Intel gave them advance notice of bin Ladin’s plan; falsely stating he was, quote, “Out of the loop about 9/11,” when he was in charge of all responses; and, squashing any investigations about possible administration knowledge an involvement.
NO INVESTIGATIONS by Republicans or Democrats. Doesn’t anyone wonder why Hillary has been persecuted for almost 30 years and NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ANY REPUBLICAN, not even an investigation?
