Who planned the widespread war games on 9/11 & what role played?
Apparently the War Games for 9/11 were Cheney's idea.
Those testifying at 9/11 Commission wouldn't answer the question re: who was in charge though they obviously knew, but it appears clear.

Why didn't the Comm. insist on an answer?
Why is no one willing to take responsibility for the war games?
3 Andrews fighters said to have been sent far away for the war games on 9/11
Given the deluge of warnings that 9/11 was coming, why was D.C. left with less defenses?
What role did the war games play in 9/11?

9/11 type war games by the U.S. military were going on during 9/11 events

1. according to Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon", the live-fly hijacking
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 11:43 PM by spooked911
exercise on 9/11 was under the control of the joint chiefs of staff.

...and from Stickdog's recent post on Myers: "September 11th, 2001 was the most important day of General Richard B. Myers' life. On this fateful day -- the only day in history that the continental United States has ever been successfully attacked from the air -- Myers, a Air Force General with thousands of hours of time flying fighter planes, was the acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

3. IMO, the exercises were the means of attack-- they became "real" events
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 11:46 PM by spooked911
not just drills.

4. Acting JCS who wasn't involved in the Vigilent Warrior/Guardian
exercises. I'm quite crious about this fact. I know that VW/VG was not common knowledge until well after 9/11. If there hadn't been this exercise underway on 9/11, Meyer's meeting with Cleland wouldn't particularly surprise me. But now that it is common knowledge, why isn't Meyers involved with it in any way? I find it too odd that a multi-national exercise that is testing our nations capabilities to react to a terrorist hi-jacking isn't important enough for Shelton, Meyers, or Rumsfield to be participating in. Why is that?

7. Excellent point-- it makes no sense for them to be away
unless they were hiding from something

6. How to sort out contradictory information about Andrews AFB jets?
There is a report that some of the Andrews jets were sent to Alaska for the war games and weren't there to defend D.C.
But there is also a report that the Andrews jets were scrambled immediately when they were given the word after the Pentagon was hit.
And there are also known to be more than one squadron of jets at Andrews, one Air Nat. Guard and another Air Force. Which protects AF 1?


but also there is the controversy about Myers saying that the Andrews jets were not on alert on 9/11. Yet they were immediately scrambled when the Pentagon was hit? And the official web site says that they were on alert. And they've been scrambled on short notice before.

Someone clearly isn't telling the truth. It should be possible to sort this out and document it.

8. Aren't there people around DC who know what the truth is about
who is telling the truth about Andrews AFB National Guard availability to protect DC during the 9/11 period. It seems obsurd that they would not be, and their web site at the time said they were. Yet Myers and the 9/11 Comm. Report said otherwise.
What gives?

9. Webster Tarpley- Amalgam Virgo wargame was cover for 9/11 Events
Webster Tarpley - 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA

"Staff exercises or command exercises are perfect for a rogue network which is forced to conduct its operations using the same communications and computer systems used by other officers who are not necessarily party to the illegal operation, coup or provocation as it may be. A putschist officer may be working at a console next to another officer who is not in on the coup, and who might indeed oppose it if he knew about it. The putschist’s behavior is suspicious: what the hell is he doing? The loyal officer looks over and asks the putschist about it. The putschist cites a staff maneuver for which he is preparing. The loyal officer concludes that the putschist’s activities are part of an officially sanctioned drill, and his suspicions are allayed. The putschist may even explain that participation in the staff exercise requires a special security clearance which the loyal officer does not have. The conversation ends, and the putschist can go on with his treasonous work."

"The best working hypothesis is that Amalgam Virgo was the cover story under which the 9/11 attacks advanced through the bureaucracy. Preparations for carrying out 9/11 were conducted under the cover of being preparations for Amalgam Virgo. Most of those who took part in Amalgam Virgo could hardly have been aware of this duplicity.... Here was an exercise which included many of the elements which were put into practice on 9/11. Amalgam Virgo thus provided the witting putschists with a perfect cover for conducting the actual live fly components of 9/11 through a largely non-witting military bureaucracy. Under the cover of this confusion, the most palpably subversive actions could be made to appear in the harmless and even beneficial guise of a drill." <9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA, by Webster Griffin Tarpley, 3/05>
