All Kerry suporters have to do is show the 7 minutes or so of shrub in
that
classroom at 9pm on NOV 1st nationwide without any comment whatsoever.
Game Over.
Don't think so. I was personally present in the analysis division of a US
intelligence center on 9/11. Until the second airliner hit the second
tower, no
one suspected anything other than an accident. There was a precedent for
thinking that way. During WW2, a B-25 stuck the Empire State Building --
then
the tallest building -- near the top. That was an accident.
The B-25 crashed at night and in fog without the benefit of modern navaids.
I turned on CNN roughly 5-10 minutes before the second plane crash and saw a
clear sunny day. Terrorism or suicide (the type of aircraft was unknown
then) seemed most likely to me. The second 767 crash only confirmed it was
Bin-Laden. The only accident scenario that is reasonably plausible is the
pilots falling asleep and in that case the plane is usually at a much higher
altitude. Yes the autopilot can fly the plane to a lower altitude while the
pilots are asleep but there is some required communication between the
cockpit crew and the cabin crew before and during descent as well as a
drastic error to program the AP into the WTC. In addition the ground
proximity warning system would probably be producing audible warnings
before the impact.
Can you come up with a plausible accident scenario other than the one I've
given for a plane to hit WTC by accident on a bright clear sunny day?
The President (and everyone else in a position to take any action) had no
idea
this was a terrorist act unti airplane #2 struck the other tower.
The look on shrubs face indicates otherwise. Remember WTC was a previous
terrorist target.
I am also intimately familiar with the communications suite aboard Air
Force
One and other Presidential travel requirements. Equipment on board Air
Force
One allows the President to communicate with any government official or
military unit world wide.
The President was receiving every possible bit of information available as
it
became known and was able to communicate his instructions to his staff and
any
military unit worldwide within seconds.
