How about the number of innocent civilians? After all, when we Liberated Fifty-Million Iraqis, our assault plan on Baghdad was "shoot anything that moves." But as long as we're not counting victims of car-bombings and mortar attacks, well the number of deaths caused by America is actually GOING DOWN!!

They had no chance to intercept and shoot down Flight 77. You are pathetic.
"At 9:30 the Langley F-16s are airborne. They are 105 miles away from the Washington area..."
"GEN. ARNOLD: I think they were airborne at 9:30 actually, and that they were reported airborne at 9:35 - correct my error here if I could, please."
Impact was 9:37:45. 7min and 45 sec to fly 105 miles. That is about 800mph in a plane that goes well over 1000.
You are a fucking tard who knows NOTHING about what happened that day. You can't even read your own link.

BULLSHIT, 88!!
First, WHERE does Mineta--in the Roemer interview--suggest that he inferred a SHOOT DOWN?
He clearly and repeatedly denies any such clear inference. He does not state, however, that he inferred a STAND DOWN, but that is obviously implied. You obviously know nothing of Japanese decorum.
As for my assertion that NORAD was the most sophisticated--and thoroughly tested--air defense system in the history of the known universe, let's not forget that just in the year 2000 over fifty "false alarms" were addressed within MINUTES--jets scrambled over D.C. EVERY TIME.
SO?......How the fuck are we supposed to swallow this absurdity that there were NO FUCKING JETS in the Washington D.C. area for ALMOST AN HOUR after multiple horrific hijack attacks in N.Y.???
DEAL WITH THIS DIRECTLY or just shut the fuck up!
Either way,
WAKEY WAKE!!!

If any of the airliners would have been shot down, they'd have come down in one of two ways: semi-intact & in flames, or in thousands of pieces of flaming wreckage. Not that it would have made a whole lot of difference on the ground.

Would it have been helpful to have fighters up to shoot down the airliners before they hit, respectively, One and Two WTC and the side of the Pentagon? Oh, I suppose. It would have been even more helpful to have tumbled to the plot and arrested the bastards before they ever got on the planes--the earlier, the better ('sup Bill and friends?). That didn't really happen either, did it?Sudden Sam wrote:So you're comfortable with the fact that on September 11, 2001, the United States of America was incapable of scrambling fighters to protect the nation's most heavily populated city (thanks MS) and its capital?Rich Fader wrote:Why?

I would think we might have been prepared a bit better.
But that's ultimately not the answer to my question. Did they get an attack in on something else after 9/11 that I missed? Somebody apparently stepped up their game.

Props to 88 in this thread. Since part 2 hasn't played yet in San Diego (pre-empted till Saturday for the chargers game which was already being run on ESPN) all I can say about part one is that the lefty bitches do protest overly much. It's the stupid economy, remember? You buy into a mindset where international politics are irelevent in choosing a leader, elect a POS who loaths the military and you get the Monty Python act we had after Mogidishu. OBL's moment of epiphany. Was that even in Part one, BTW?

Why won't any of you assholes even try to answer that question?
THis is actually a perfectly valid and important question. But just because it presents a nest of perplexing and disturbing implications certainly doesn't make its answer any less clear.
First, are we to assume that if the NORAD system works properly--jets scrambled in minutes, just like during the DOZENS of "false alarms" the previous year--that there's nothing they can do to stop a lumbering airliner?
Sure, if it's right over Wall Street the idea of shooting it down appears just about as bad as letting it take out the towers. But that's not the real propspect at all.
If the NORAD jets were properly dispatched, they could have intercepted the hijacked airliners way out in the countryside--over the Catskills, let's say. Further, if the Atta and his fellow amateur pilots suddenly had airforce jets buzzing all over them, would they really have stayed so cool? Are we really to assume that EVEN IN LIEU of shooting them down, that no significant and telling interference could have been rendered?
Okay, so the hijacked airliners surge on towards N.Y., undeterred, well, the option is front and center to drop them. Sure, it would be excruciatingly painful--the utter shame--of having to kill innocent Americans without any positive proof that the WTC attack was forthcoming. But the option should have at least been there.
What's the excuse for the biggest failure in security in America's history?
88 insists that there were ONLY FOUR fighter jets available to protect the entire eastern seaboard (due to Clinton's cuts, etc).
Do you actually believe this for one second? Apparently, the Rovian/Limpdick style is simply to offer the most preposterous reversal of reality--and then watch as a LOT of people passively swallow it. Those who object just get the standard smear treatment.
In point of fact, seven airstations were on FULL ALERT to protect the continental U.S. on 9/11.
The Air National Guard maintains seven alert sites with 14 fully armed fighters and pilots on call around the clock. Besides Tyndall AFB, alert birds also sit armed and ready at; Homestead Air Reserve Base (ARB), Homestead, Florida; Langley AFB, Hampton, Virginia; Otis Air National Guard (ANG), Falmouth, Massachusetts; Oregon ANG, Portland, Oregon; March ARB, Riverside, California; and Ellington ANG, Houston, Texas. Obviously the western U.S. bases here were not a factor.
But here's twenty-eight more airstations that were well within range to scramble fighter jets, but, astonishingly, didn't:
Andrews AFB 11 miles SE of Washington D.C.
Bolling AFB 3 miles south of US Capitol
Dover AFB Dover, DE
Hanscom AFB 17 miles northwest of Boston, MA
McGuire AFB 18 miles southeast of Trenton, NJ
Wright-Patterson AFB Dayton, OH
Cape Cod, MA AFS
New Boston, NH AFS
Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Bases
Atlantic City Airport, NJ 10 miles west of Atlantic City
Barnes Municipal Airport, MA 3 miles northwest of Westfield
Bradley International Airport, CN Windsor Locks
Byrd Field, VA 4 miles southeast of Richmond
Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport 4 miles south of Martinsburg
Frances S. Gabreski Airport, NY Westhampton Beach
Greater Pittsburgh International Airport, PA 15 miles nw of Pittsburgh
Harrisburg International Airport, PA 10 miles east of Harrisburg
Martin State Airport, MD 8 miles east of Baltimore
New Castle County Airport, DE 5 miles south of Wilmington
Pease ANGS, NH Portsmouth
Quonset State Airport, RI Providence
Rickenbacker ANGB, OH Columbus, Oh
Stewart International Airport, NY Newburgh, NY
Toledo Express Airport, Swanton, Ohio
Westover ARB, MA 5 miles northeast of Chicopee
Willow Grove Naval Air Station, PA 14 miles north of Philadelphia
Yeager Airport, WVA 4 miles northeast of Charleston
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport ARS, OH 16 miles north of Youngstown
Also, there is an Air Defense Intercept Zone just off shore for the entire Atlantic Coast. This zone is constantly being patrolled. In general fast movers would not need to be scrambled. They can be diverted from routine patrol and training flights for the intercept. The odds are that on a beautiful blue morning in September many flights would be on patrol just off shore. It would be most improbable that even one commercial flight could go more than fifteen minutes without being intercepted.
But as it was, NO JETS were scrambled. And moreover, the 9/11 Commission Report shamelessly avoids this glaring series of facts. The mealy excuse trotted out well after the fact--something about a large War Games excercise somehow cunfusing ALL of the military personel, is patantly pathetic.

OH come on now 88, everyone knows that the government has already torn a hole in the fabric of the space/time continuum and that they could have had those jets arrive at the pentagon 10 minutes before 77 showed up.
