What do you think shot it down? Who did it? What was it armed with, why were no fragments of an air-to-air missile found? Why did no one on the ground see another aircraft in the area? How did they silence the pilots who went out to do this shoot-down? They didn't, because they didn't have to. It's the government's great shame that the world's greatest military couldn't stop a passenger liner even with rather substantial notice. They may have been scrambling to do so, but they didn't make it in time. There's not a single shred of evidence to suggest that they could...or that they did.

Because it DID NOT HAPPEN. The Air Force was NOT prepared to do that. It takes time to get planes armed and in the air. They didn't have that time, nor sufficient coordination. For all that the FBI and CIA SHOULD have known something was afoot, for all that some experts had warned previous adminstrations of this particular kind of threat--our nation was NOT prepared. Nobody had their duct tape. Nobody had their fighters armed!

Moreover, you KNOW that by NOW some Dem Senator would have leaked details to the press if what you have talked yourself into "believing" was true. They don't have details because it isn't true, but they all want you doubting, doubting, doubting. If there was the barest SHRED of evidence that 93 was shot down, it would be in our faces. The approval numbers of this administration is a source of constant fume and fury from the Democrats who are pulling out ALL stops to try to embarrass him. They would like nothing better than to hold impeachment hearings.

SURE our government lies to us. However, this isn't a lie. You have to ignore facts, ignore physical laws, ignore all real evidence to believe that there was no effective passenger resistance, that there was a shoot-down, or that anyone other than Islamic terrorists brought down those four planes that day.

Whether they actually made it into the cockpit, they succeeded in thwarting the aims of the terrorists. Heroes enough for me. They TRIED. And everytime I read about somebody lying down and letting criminals walk all over them, I get mad all over again. We should all know better now. We should have learned: you ALWAYS resist evil with any means available to you.

It should be noted they succeeded. The attack was foiled because they acted.
