We pay, $700BB/year for Defense....and they can't protect themselves with a 45 minute "heads up"?

Only a moron would believe Dick Cheney who told us we only had 15 ( count 'em) 15 planes protecting the entire USA on 9/11/01....because, coincidentally, the rest of the USAF was up at the North Pole involved in war games. Lucky bastards, those terrorists. But remember, he was the same guy that told us that Iraq was involved with 9/11, that they had WMD and were going to kill us, and the people of Iraq would give our soldiers kisses and flowers when we invaded. You believe he's telling the truth about 9/11?


Here is a very simple question. Was 77, 11, 175, 93 part of the war games going on on 9/11? Because, we know part of the exercise was gaming in-flight acts of commerical terrorism and perhaps taking control of these planes via remote control. There were a whole bunch of people from Ratheon on flight 11 that day...guys that were responsible for remote control technology. If you're going to do a "live hijack" wouldn't you want to have a bunch of scary looking mid-eastern dudes playing the role of hijackers (check out Atta's background). I can imagine a scenario where 20 guys are given a role to play "hijacker" only to find out that they are victims in 9/11. These guys were not fundies...they were intel guys.
