Someone explain: this little Cessna was surrounded

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

within seconds from appearing, yet no fighter jets were scrambled for four big-ass commercial airplanes that were hijacked within minutes of each other???

:wtf:

[City of Mills]

1. The government didn't know about the Cessna. NT

[dbt]

6. That's it right there. Well done, ByTheRiver!

[Wickerman]

2. Everything has changed since 9-11

hmmm, only a commie pinko would question the govt.

:hi:

[FloridaPat]

3. On 9-11, most of our planes were doing manuvers and were unarmed

and too far away to do anything. Amazing coincidence, huh? Sure. And for some reason the few planes left at Andrews were not scrambled. An airforce base 120 miles away was called to save Washington.

[liberal N proud]

4. It is from bu$h's new children's book, The Little Cessna that could

[leftofthedial]

5. they weren't ordered to ignore the Cessna

A Cessna makes a piss poor Pearl Harbor

[PKG]

7. Someone explain: the American navy successfully engaged the Japanese navy

at the little base at Midway, yet no air force was scrambled for a big-ass group of Japanese fighters that were headed towards our docked fleet at Pearl Harbor?

:wtf:

11. Radar was new at the time, the radar ops didn't believe what they saw.

It was unprovoked, and was also a Sunday morning, church time (read: liberty call) for many sailors.

I'm not an expert, just regurgitating what I learned in a documentary on Discovery Channel. I learned more about Pearl Harbor in an hour than I ever learned about it in school.

[PKG]

14. All true. My point is

after you've been sucker-punched, you get on your guard and block any more punches that come at you.

[pilgrimsoul]

8. So does anyone else wonder

if this whole Cessna scare really a trial run for something a lot more sinister that the neocons have planned? <shudder>

[City of Mills]

9. Not to mention the trial bombings at the British consulate

I don't like these trial runs... :scared:

[City Lights]

16. Or all the lasers being pointed into cockpits.

:tinfoilhat:

10. dick Chaney was personally in charge of a Military maneuver simulating

an attack on the New York and DC by hijacked aircraft that were to be crashed into buildings that morning.. maybe he couldn't tell the difference between the real and simulated planes.. or maybe there wasn't any difference..??!!

[indepat]

13. The timing of the simulation would seem to defy all odds and logic, yet

O.J. was found not guilty in spite of the godzillion to one odds from the DNA. We must have faith in our government and our system of justice.

15. The question with OJ was not if it was his blood, but about how

his blood got there -- after the blood sample taken from him by Mark Fuhrman disappeared, and the blood at the crime scene was found by Mark Fuhrman, a known racist who was open about his views on mix marriages.

It all comes down to conspiracy, doesn't it.

[indepat]

17. Yes it does. I expected a hung jury, ten or eleven not guilty.

[lonestarnot]

12. More evidence MIHOP.
