After 9/11 I firmly believed that the FBI & CIA were nothing more than a bunch of keystone cops IDIOTS all of them!!! I remember standing in front of the TV in my restaurant repeating how the HELL could this happen in our country I was truly in disbelief!!! Those two agencies from that day on were DEAD to me NEVER to have redeemed themselves, and NOW we realize just the kind of things they were doing that kept them from doing their ACTUAL JOBS!!!!
Makes you wonder what their real job is.
too busy arranging governments around the world instead of protecting AMERICA.
[Washington, DC] is ringed with Air Force bases and Navy bases and the ability to get defensive planes in the air is very, very high, and at the same time you would do what is being done and that is closing off the entire airspace, so that in effect, the whole Washington area is a no-fly zone, so that any planes that cant identify themselves and get into that are to be shot down.
— Former US Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger on DC precautions on 9/11. And yet, AAL77, ostensibly the plane that went into the Pentagon did so over an hour after the first plane went into the World Trade Center. No fighters were flying in the DC area, nor were any ground-based Pentagon defenses put into play.
Did you ever hear of Gorelick's wall?
