Well first of all if you read his quote from that article he refers to the terrorists and shooting down the plane. I believe he refers to the Hijackers crashing the plane as "Shooting it down". It was about a month ago I believe that they released parts of the black box tape. In that tape its clear that although the passengers were trying to take back the plane they were unable to breech the cockpit, and it appeares as though the Hijackers took the plane down.
I did not report Mr "Rum" saying that the FLIGHT 93 was SHOT DOWN BY THE USAF.
IT IS MORE THAN JUST A CONTEXTUAL PARAPHRASE WHEN SUCH EVENTS ARE CALLED AS SHOOTING DOWN BY ONE OF THE FEW TOPMOST MILITARY OFFICERS OF THE USA. Unless Mr "Rum" was utilizing the benefits of adding another "tongue-twister pearl" to the vocabulary of W speak.
I was reading beetween the lines and found out the implied hint at such (in my opinion) highly probable turn of the 9-11 events. Please read again the header of my thread and the last line of my post, so that you understand what I am trying to deliver in this discussion.
Yet I understand your position of all-out readiness for the nose-dive bombing. It must be really difficult to change the course of your Stuka when the target has been locked in your sights for more than three years already.
The last intentions of the terrorist hijackers to crash that plane into the ground DO NOT PRESENT 100% EVIDENCE THAT THEY DID IT WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE USAF EAGLES.
As far as I remember the whole terrorist attack was well-planned in advance, with the secondary targets assigned to the hijackers' squads in case they would't be able to hit their primary targets. Does not look like an amateur effort at all. And also I still can't believe that the USAF interceptor planes are piloted exclusively by the fast-promoted former National Air Guards airmen.
