Here's why I doubt that. One of the embarrassing things for the Bush administration is that it took them so long to react to what was happening. The famous "7 minutes" is a damning indictment of the President himself--clearly not knowing what to do. But still worse is that it took the better part of an hour for anyone in the administration to do anything at all, even AFTER they knew what was happening. They DID order the Air Force to shoot down hijacked planes--nearly 20 minutes after United 93 crashed.

To me, this doesn't make them look especially good. If they had reacted fast enough to shoot this flight down, wouldn't they be bragging about it, given everything we know about this administration? The truth--their total incompetence, and complete lack of preparation for any kind of national emergency--is far more embarrassing.
