Reply #23: A.Q. planner [View All]

[k-robjoe]

Put yourself in the position of an Al Qaida planner. You are aware of course that the US has airbases and standard intercept proceedures. You have studied where those airbases are, and how long it takes to scramble fighters, and are planning your mission accordingly. 1. What kind of indescribably cretinous moron would expect to be able to successfully execute a plan which required that *after* crashing two planes into the WTC, one would then fly another hijacked plane *for 3/4 hour* towards one of the worlds most heavily guarded buildings -knowing that there was an air base with the specific mandate of protecting it only *10 miles away* ? Answer: Anybody too stupid to realize that such a moronic scheme had no chance of success whatsoever, would have been incapable of carrying out any other part of the plan.Therefore the mythical hijackers *had to know* that the airforce would be stood down to accomodate them.
