63. For decades our home-based fighter squadrons have practiced how to...
...get off the ground and intercept enemy aircraft and hijacked airliners in the quickest possible times using the fighter squadrons from the closest Air Force and ANG airfields. Sometimes they've had to send planes up for real to intercept recon flights by other countries, and to investigate problems with commercial aircraft as reported by the FAA to NORAD.

So, is it correct to say that you believe that everyone was just confused by the events of 911 and that they all just forgot their training honed by decades of drill and/or real events? And that, in turn, led to the 30 minute delay in sending interceptors into the air?

Okay. Would you like to buy some bridges?

Treason by any other word is still treason.
