911: Window of Exposure

[. .]

16. Calling out William Seger: I am responding to your post, here.

I'm unable to post on that thread thanks to an offhand remark I made. So...

You said: "This assertion is ridiculous and it's easy to show otherwise: Rumsfeld's behavior that morning was not the "only possible way to achieve the (presumed) goal" and it certainly was not the best possible way. The most direct way to achieve the presumed goal would have been to order a stand-down))"

If you would please stop and think, you would understand that such an act would greatly increase the probability for exposure, and it would direct blame toward the giver of such an order.

You said: "But even if Rumsfeld being "out of the loop" would have made any difference (which is itself disproved by what actually happened)"

It makes all the difference in the world as it relates to the probability for further murder. Please refer to the Department of Defense directive, defining the National Command Authority.

You said: "...then the best thing for Rumsfeld to do would have been to be completely out of the loop, i.e. not even in his office and completely out of communication"

Again, please refer to the National Command Authority: "...or their duly deputized alternates or successors..."

If you are suggesting that another person would have taken Rumsfeld's place, I would again assert that the probability for exposure would have been greatly increased.

You said: "...and with a credible excuse for it..."

I would ask you to please recall that we had immediate communication in 2001, just as we have today.
