Reply #5: the responsiveness of the Air Force [View All]

[Caution]

is discussed quite extensively in the report.

The 9/11 commission shows pretty well that the AF did not shoot down flight 93, and portrays our military response as totally and completely inept, flying in the wrong direction, missing orders, not turning on radar.

Now which version do you think the public would be more willing to accept? That the President responded to a threat to perhaps thousands on the ground by ordering the shooting down of a plane known to be doomed or that our military is incapable of protecting us in a time of crisis?

Regardless of what you may personally believe, the report's findings in this matter are much more damning of our response than the potential fallout over the deaths of the passengers. Why hide this if it is what happened? What is to be gained?
