And you still haven't answered my question. One more time, are you
saying that the USAF is exempt from sharing any blame for 9/11?

I will answer it. Absolutely the Air Force is blameless.

Fine. But I couldn't possibly disagree more.

The USAF does not (did not) defend the US from its own civilian airliners. Duh!

You can bet your sweet bippy that the USAF is shadowing some U.S.
airliners NOW.

It was a failure of the INS, FBI, FAA and other organizations who allowed the
situation to develop.

Doubtful even the military brass in the Pentagon would agree with that
statement and would readily accept some of the blame for 9/11.

To blame the Air Force is like blaming the fire department for not stopping
an arsonist.

Poor analogy. The Air Force is not entirely to blame for what happened
to 9/11, but it's not absolutely blameless either.

It was there to put the fire out (endless CAP mission ever since),
but it could not have prevented it.

Given better intelligence, the USAF could have easily prevented it.

Or why not blame the Army for not having a AAA battery stationed in NY or DC.
Or why not blame the Navy for not having a ship on the Potomac or in NY
harbor that could have prevented it.

Actually, you're absolutely right. Why not blame the Army or Navy?

In what far fetched way could the USAF have prevented 9/11?

A preemptive strike, perhaps? Recall the Israeli attack on the Osiraq
nuclear powerplant near Baghdad back in 1981.

Spoken like the true Canuck wussy that you are. Whattsa' matter Gordo,
jealous because when the doctors performed exploratory surgery in your
lower groin area looking for testicles they couldn't find any?

Coming from someone whose stupidly wasted more bandwidth than
all of us combined swapping drivel with Tarver over such inane
things as "pitot tubes" and such, THAT was a truly mind boggling
retort! And as far as your buddy Beaman is concerned, well, he's a
self-admitted Tarver apologist. Pot Kettle Black.

Marion, please pay attention. Yes I did argue ad nauseum with tarver but I
never stooped to his level of name calling,personal attacks and vulgarity. You
have. That is the tactic of one who is either losing an argument or has no
argument to begin with.

You have.

As if. As if being a santimonious hypocrite somehow lets you off the
hook. And I s'pose politely using a clinical term for "cajones" is a
"crime" or a "sin" in your book as well?

That is the tactic of one who is either losing an argument or has no

I stand by everything I wrote, Big Dan. And you do know the difference
between having an argument and expressing an opinion, correct?

A preemptive strike on the United terminal at Boston Logan?

You haven't been frequenting the space shuttle news group asking why
Rockwell didn't make the thing out of titanium have you?
