Seems you are another moron who thinks the exact target, day and time needs to be known before measures can be taken. OK. What would you propose might have been done with this information that might have stopped the 9/11 attacks? Let me help you out a little he When I was in the Navy, ships would often do training exercises with the SEAL teams. They would notify us that they were going to attack the ship on a given date between certain hours (usually about a 4 hour window). During the planned time, we would station extra people on watch all over the ship & the pier. We never once stopped them from succeeding. You looked for divers or mini subs and they came in on mini helos. They came up the pier in a Krispy Kreme donut truck. They created diversions in two areas and entered via a third. They came in high speed boats with weapons blazing, or they silently climed the side of the ship right under your feet. When someone is dedicated to completing their task and dying is not a concern, there isn't a thing you can do to stop them. What would you propose? |

Lets forget about most cases and stay specific of this attack, Mort. Do you still think nothing could have been done (as you've been told), no measures could have been taken to thwart this style of attack? Sure. We could have arrested all the terrorists in the U.S. and thwarted the attack on 9/11 (in which case they'd have activated sleeper cells or sent others in through Canada or Mexico and 9/11 would have happened on 10/12 instead) We could have grounded all flights that day (so we'd remember 9/12 or 9/13 instead) Anything you can think of would *delay* the attacks on 9/11... but how would you *stop* them? |

Do try to refresh your recollection. To the best of my recollection, you've never answered the question, Bryan. snicker Loosen the flag around your head some. Now do you remember? Hint: it has to do with FAA Regulations and NORAD |

We could have grounded all flights that day (so we'd remember 9/12 or 9/13 instead) Anything you can think of would *delay* the attacks on 9/11... but how would you *stop* them? 1) Pat attention to the warnings of AC Highjackings AND Highjacked AC as weapons into American Targets. 2) Brief FAA Officials of these non-actionable (cough) warnings and tell them to not to scratch their heads at: a) the first sign of trouble b) when it is know to be highjacked only to talk amongst themselves. Instead, clarify that they are to expedite FAA Procedures of intercept then contact The President. If the errant, Highjacked AC would not follow intercept orders a decision could be made to take more drastic measures. It isn't that difficult. After all there was all kinds of information about planes as weapons. http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/t...irdefense.html |

It's "position" is: hands over eyes so he can truley say he can't see reality. -*MORT*- Said the moron who thinks the exact target, day and time needs to be known before measures can be taken. And lets be very clear about this. No measures where taken. I don't care if Dick Clarkes Policy's weren't implemented. It doesn't matter if Condi said that they were working on a strategy to hit AL Queda. These are two different things. What did your government do, the Booshies, what did they do to defend America on 9/11 That's as preposterous as it can get. You dopers should expect more from your government than we didn't know when, where or how...bwahahahah |

But how much ya wana bet that he gets all tense and turns red because of the new rules put in place to attempt to stop the next attack. And would have been just jumping up and down if Bush would have tried to pass the patriot act before 9/11.. I would also bet that if Bush would have suggested that the FBI and the CIA gather files, and collaborate on anti American activities of Islamic groups that have made threats , he would have blown out a heart valve... before 9/11.... |

In most cases, to stop a specific attack that is correct. Lets forget about most cases and stay specific of this attack, Mort. Do you still think nothing could have been done (as you've been told), no measures could have been taken to thwart this style of attack? Yes something could have been done.. But what would have been your position before 9/11 if you heard on the News that there was a non specific threat so we were placing armed troops in airports and transportation centers and allowing the FBI to exchange files on people with the CIA and other agencies of the government and allowing air and wire taps of nation wide communications. Along with placing a couple hundred armed attack aircraft and various AA batteries around the country and maybe in your neighborhood... You would be required to have your shoes searched and your flights delayed because the airports were going to search your stuff using security people. If you fly you would expect a major cost increase to provide for replacing doors and your pilots are to allow a hijacker to kill you instead of doing as the hijackers demand. I think your views on the actions taken since 9/11 to prevent the next attack are an indication as to what they would have been before 9/11 |

Not one of the lefts talking heads I have heard have put forth a even semi lucid plan that would have prevented 9/11 or a plan to prevent the next 9/11.. or to stop any of the groups aligned against us.. But they yell and scream that the plan we are following is Bad, bad, bad.... Its the " I don't know what to do but DamNit! do sumthin!!! and do it Fast!

Clinton made terrorism this top priority, while he virtually ignored it; that George W. Bush should have prevented Nine Eleven, and that Bush has done too much in reaction to the events of Nine Eleven. The lunatic left can no more see straight that Ted Kennedy can see his own belt buckle with the benefit of a mirror. David |
