Reply #8: ...you then said no answer would satisfy you but "no excuse." I can read.

What reasonable answer can you give me when I ask "Where was the military that day?". What reasonable answer can you give me when I ask "Who was in charge that day?". What reasonable answer can you give me when I ask "Why did they fail so miserably?". Can you reason with that?

How much have you looked into where they were? A lot of information is available. What have you examined about this other that waving your hands to the sky saying, "Where were they?" Do you know what resources were available? Do you know how they were deployed? Do you know who knew what when? Have you done the remotest research into this at all?

I gave you the name of a book. It has some flaws, but it is one of the best pictures out there of the military response that day. Other raw materials are available, like the NORAD tapes. You can know where they were. You can find out who was in charge.You can see why they were moving heaven and earth to do something and still had no chance of stopping this.

That is, if you really want to be reasonable about this.
