On where - Florida where they were taking pilot training?

Of course not. A preemptive strike "wherever terrorists hide, or run,
or plan" (e.g: Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iraq, etc. etc...)

etc. etc.....

Just how many "preemptive" stikes did you have in mind? and how many
'innocent civilians' did you propose executing in the process?

And how would this have stopped the terrorists who were all legal
residents of the U.S. prior to 9/11?

I answered your questions and you predictably come back with three
more insincere, smartass questions. Now, allow me to ask you a
SERIOUS question, if I may.

Do you believe that anything, anything at all, could have been done to
prevent the apocalyptic 9/11 attacks that killed more than THREE
THOUSAND innocent Americans and changed the world as we know
it forever?

Think about it....
