Which service is it that's supposed to at least intercept hostile
aircraft in American skies?

Perhaps this also should be handed over to the USMC?

9/11 was a criminal act conducted by foreign criminals. Calling it


It was an act of war by a non-state actor. We quite properly
took it at face value and opened hostilities on the actors
and their supporters.

war doesn't make it so. Law enforcement is something I don't want the
military involved in. The FBI and CIA dropped the ball on this one,
not the Air Force. Shooting down airliners filled with hostages/
citizens is something the Soviet Union would do, not what the USA does.


The FBI and CIA had been knecapped by Jamie Gorelick at Klintoon's
behest. It was more than your career was worth to ask inconvenient
questions or, god forbid, share information. Many of the necessary
dots were already plotted. They just could not legally be connected
and it took an enormous effort against determined Dhimmicrap
opposition to change that situation.
