Defense chief said to remain firm plane crashed from passenger-terrorist struggle
---snip
"A Pentagon spokesman insists Rumsfeld has not changed his opinion that the plane crashed as the result of an onboard struggle between passengers and terrorists," CNN reports.

Russert: "So if the United States government became aware that a hijacked commercial airline[r] was destined for the White House or the Capitol, we would take the plane down?"
Cheney: "Yes. The president made the decision ... that if the plane would not divert ... as a last resort, our pilots were authorized to take them out. Now, people say, you know, that's a horrendous decision to make. Well, it is. You've got an airplane full of American citizens, civilians, captured by ... terrorists, headed and are you going to, in fact, shoot it down, obviously, and kill all those Americans on board?
"... It's a presidential-level decision, and the president made, I think, exactly the right call in this case, to say, I wished we'd had combat air patrol up over New York.'---end snip

It was as I figured... everyone is so anal, parsing every syllable of those they despise, looking for fodder for assault. Feh...
Non-story, but someone sure seized on it, hoping it would build up into something. Like we don't have enough going on in the world to concern ourselves.
Mata... the Dems just are that desperate! They can't figure out why their "agenda" didn't work. Just like faithful Socialists that they are they keep thinking if they keep bringing it up and harping on a non-issue, it will trigger a Pavlovian response in folks. I mean.. Dems have spent trillions of dollars infiltrating all institutions of the US in order to create pod people based on "buzz words and phrases". It ain't working. Their spell has broken; and they are still in shock over the broken wands in their hands.
