Cheney's AMAZING powers of "prediction"

"Word came that Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. Aides frantically called the White House to find out whether a military jet had shot it down.

The vice president was a little bit ahead of us," said Eric Edelman, Cheney's national security advisor. "He said sort of softly and to nobody in particular, 'I think an act of heroism just took place on that plane.'"

Seems perverse that he already "knew" what had happened with flight 93 without even being told. Or was he, in a mafia-esque way, declaring to the others what the official story would be?

1. That's not the only amazingly prescient prediction Cheney has made..

Here, in 1994, he uses the "Q" word in describing the results of the US invading Iraq.

2. One more lie from a pack of liars

So the plane was shot down ... not brave Americans stormed the cockpit.

I want to know why we were running "war games" that day that simulated
enemy terrorists hijacking planes and our fighter cover was not ready to go.

Washington D.C. is the most protected air space in the world so after
2 planes hit the WTC towers a hijacked "slow" jet got to fly unstopped
and hit the pentagon?

3. I am looking for the war games story

Is there a link for something like a CNN source on that

I think one time I looked for it, it was all links like "prisonplant"...

Is there a credible source on this part of the tale?
