im sure it has absolutely nothing to do with cheney's "stand down" order or bush's obsession with finishing the "my little goat" story with the kids at the school he was visiting

You forgot ATC. Trained only in the event a hijacking ( previous answerer explained it ) is called in. Not a plane scramble on an early Tuesday morning. They can bearly handle that. While trying to pin point the issues before any false alarms went out, they delayed valuable time.
If you consider that the FBI/ CIA had prior knowledge of an event such as this yet chose not to alert the public let alone speak amongst themselves, the fault here lies higher up. Why have portions of the 9/11 Commission Report be classified? Presidential priviledge? Which President? The "Popular" one is in here thick as thieves. With Hillary's planned run in '08.
These guys you mention were middle men. They got info too late and some not at all. You blame Bush that look hard at WJClinton. And in his first months as President the WTC was bombed from below. Then GW 's first months above and a direct hit. Those are conspiracies I want investigated.
Thank you.
** If the President is in danger they go thru protocol. Including the perimeter of where he is, who is involved, where is the transportation? is it secure? where are fighters? what is the priority here. The he talked to kids too long is outrageous. You want a national panic as the press was all there? He went to a office in back and watched TV like u & me then once it was safe moved. Does no one watch 24?? TY

They followed the hijacking protocol that was in effect at the time.
Changes to Norad defence strategy as a result of Sept. 11:
- For the first time in history, NATO radar planes from the 19-member alliance -- countries such as England, Germany and France -- are patrolling U.S. skies to assist Norad's AWACs.
- Air Force generals have been authorized to shoot down hijacked commercial jets threatening U.S. cities without consulting the president first.
- Norad now monitors 40,000 daily flights, adding domestic flights to the 7,000 international flights it formerly tracked.
- New computers in Norad headquarters Command Centre identify every internal North American flight.
- Federal Aviation Administration officials moved into the Command Centre in Cheyenne Mountain, Colo., to liaise round the clock with Norad.
- Now 100 fighter jets stand on constant alert as opposed to 14 in North America prior to Sept. 11.
- No inflight problem is considered routine. Fighter jets now scramble to "babysit" suspect aircraft several times daily as opposed to one or so a week before the attacks.
- About a dozen Norad mobile radars have been moved across the U.S. to expand the ability to monitor home skies.

9/11 mostly happened because under President Clinton's administration the FBI and CIA were allowed a certain level of communication though when it was discovered that President Clinton had extensive ties to China's Ruling Communist party and do I mean the military section of the Communist party that had attended coffees in the White House he had Jamie Gorecki construct a wall that disallowed communication between the FBI and CIA so President Clinton couldn't be prosecuted for a range of crimes that could have potentially reached the level of Treason. This wall made it near impossible for the FBI (which is for Federal law enforcement within the US) to communicate and share information with the CIA (which is only allowed to work on issues outside of the US).
From an aviation standpoint FAA type reasoning. Historically speaking when someone hijacks a plane they usually just want to go somewhere for financial or political purposes. Very rarely are people killed and historically passengers, pilot and crew have been told to just do what the hijackers say and everyone has usually lived with just the inconvienience of being flown to someplace they didn't want to go.

No it happened because somebody obstructed FBI terrorism investigations at FBI HQ in Washington!
Why was Moussaoui in custody for weeks in Minneapolis and FBI HQ denied FISA warrants!

You wouldn't know default hijack protocol if someone hit you in the head with the manual.

secret service says "Mr. President, the country is under attack"
mr. bush "ok, tell them to hold on a sec ... let me finish reading this children's book"
... and 2 days later the house and the senate voted to give the president full power to make decisions in a crisis and start a war ... and low and behold 6 months later he started one
omg, our vice president is a former military weapon salesman
... it looks bad to say the least

The USAF doesn't have fighters ready to scamble at any second anymore. There was little they could do.

No, it happened because Bush lacked his own intelligence. He should have listened to those voices in his head.

For real I can't believe they were all so delusional about what was going on.
