I'd say the original poster is still thinking of NORAD in the 50s and 60s,
where every air defense unit had fighters on Alert 5 waiting for the Bears
and Bisons to come over the Pole. Once Ivan began relying on ICBMs, the need
for large numbers of interceptors declined. Tom is right: facts never get
in the way of a conspiracy theory; name the event and you'll find theories
that fly in the face of fact-Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, to name a couple.

The traitor's name is General Ralph Eberhart
and he was commander in
chief of NORAD on 9-11. It's his job to
sendup jets to investigate
planes flying off course but on 9-11 he
let FOUR commercial jets fly
HUNDREDS of miles off course for nearly
TWO hours till they crashed
into our buildings. And he has never
been disciplined for his
horrific failure. The 9-11 panel needs
to put this traitor on TV and
ask him why he failed so utterly to do
his sworn duty that day.


Hate to break it to you, but before 9/11
it was not his job, nor anyone
elses, to scramble fighter jets just to investigate
planes flying
off-course. In fact, the US did not even
keep fighter jets on a ready
status
pre-9/11.

But I know that people like you don't let
mere facts get in the way of a
good conspiracy theory.


Oh shut up, you lying piece of ****. It was
too the job of NORAD.
Has been for decades and you know it. You're
as shameless a liar as
your god bush and it gives me great enjoyment
to know that come
judgement day, you two will suffer unspeakable
agony in the
everlasting fires of hell for your lies. HAHA


No, it was not the job of NORAD to scramble
armed fighter jets every time a
plane went off course (which in and of itself,
was/is not terribly
uncommon). True, he could have ordered fighers
into the air to investigate,
but to prep and arm a set of 'cold' fighters
would have probably taken over
an hour, as we simply did not keep armed fighters
at the ready pre-9/11. It
also would have been fairly unprescidented.
The only time I can think of was
the Payne Stewart incident when his learjet
lost pressure and flew around
aimlessly; there just happened to be a pair
of F-16s on practice manuvers at
a nearby MOA, so they were easily requested
and vectored in by the local air
traffic controller. They were not scrambled
specifically, and NORAD had
nothing to do with it; it was all local. There
was simply no real plan on
the books to deal with something like 9/11,
period; not at NORAD or anyplace
else.

Again, I know that you people won't let facts
get in the way of your lunatic
theories, but just in case any non-loons are
reading....
