To All You Liberals Out There

[Guest yod]

So all you who claim to be Conservative War loving Bush supporters might want to consider rounding up & incarcerating everyone everyone who disagrees with the war agenda of king Bush, then none of those dissenting votes will count. Wow what a great idea!

talk about arrogant.....king bush? incarceration?

You guys dish it out and then whine at the expected response.

When the bush-haters knock it off....that will be the end of it.

Proverbs 22:10

Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.

35 USAF Bases Within Range On 911

The 7 Air Stations On Full Alert Covering The Continental United States

And 28 More Air Stations That Were In Range Of The 4 Airliners On 911

The following list were the seven Air Stations that were armed and on full alert to protect the continental United States on Tuesday September 11, 2001.

The Air National Guard exclusively performs the air sovereignty mission in the continental United States, and those units fall under the control of the 1st Air Force based at Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) in Panama City, Florida. 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. http://www.af.mil/news/airman/1299/home2.htm

Beside the 7 Air Station on full alert covering the continental United States, here are 28 more Air stations that could have done something -- if they were left to do their job.

The following happened on September 11, 2001; At 10:01 a.m. the FAA ordered the 180th Fighter Wing out of Swanton, Ohio to scramble their F-16 fighters. Although the base has no fighters on stand-by alert status, it manages to put fighters in the air 16 minutes later, a "phenomenal" response time - but still 11 minutes after the last hijacked plane has crashed.

One interesting aspect is that NORAD has explained that it didn't scramble fighters from bases nearer to the hijacked planes because they only used bases in the NORAD defensive network. Yet the 180th Fighter Wing out of Swanton, Ohio wasn't part of that network, so why weren't planes at other bases scrambled at 8:20 or 8:40 or 8:43 or 8:46:26 or 9:02:54 or 9:24 or at the very least at 9:37?

Maybe some of these Air station could have managed to get fighters up just as fast as the 180th Fighter Wing. Why weren't they? Stand Down.

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.

NO. They were in place BEFORE 9/11.

With a minute-by-minute chronology from 7:59 a.m. till 10:06:05 a.m., this article will dismantle the Wednesday September 18, 2001 North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Press Release. This press release encompasses the (supposed) response times of the United States Air Force on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

This article will explain to you exactly what happened for the almost one hour and fifty-three minutes that elapsed between the time American Airlines Flight 11 lost voice contact with air traffic control and was hijacked at 8:13:31, till the time United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:06:05.

Also, when reading this article, please keep in mind the following five very significant pieces of information.

1) The United States Government will spend more on the military in fiscal year 2003, than all the rest of the countries on Earth combined. Current expenditures are 437 billion and our past obligations are 339 billion, this equals 776 billion.

Problem is KitKat your own source said more than 50% was moderate in that thread. And I quoted the sources.

Besides the articles have pure facts in them much of it taken from the FAA and military.

[Guest yod]

Steff...can we agree that this was an unprecedented event?

I saw someone talking about this situation the other night. NORAD is extremely well prepared for an enemy attack, yes.

The problem was that the FAA is in charge of all domestic flights and the FAA waited too long to give the order to intercept.

Even then it was still a situation where the chain of command had to make some political decisions about shooting down civilian airliners...and it was better to err on the side of caution than to just start shooting planes out of the sky.

Now they have contingency plans for this in place and it won't happen again....but there was lots of confusion over what to do and who had the authority to make the decisions that day....and a little hesitation was all it took.

Why does everything have to be a NWO conspiracy?

I have thought of another possibility. Maybe...just maybe...a professional terrorist group did their homework for a few years and knew the right time to attack? Is it possible that our enemy isn't completely without mental resources?

the chain of command to shout down a civilian aircraft didn't come along until after 9/11

but you are comparing moderates in media to moderates in the general public...remember.

that article said that moderates in the media are more liberal than their civilian counterparts...

[Steff]

the chain of command to shout down a civilian aircraft didn't come along until after 9/11

Untrue - Look at the data pre-9/11 and you'll find that to be false.

Why does everything have to be a NWO conspiracy?

Did I say conspiracy? I just said that there isn't a good reason they failed to intercept the aircraft. Draw your own conclusions.
