Contemplating shooting down commercial airliner is not an easy thing. It
reminds me of WW2 German gun camera footage of flying B17 getting pelted with bullets from point blank range; no one firing back. The gunner must be all down. But how many Sidewinders will it take to bring down commercial airliner with 4 engines? Don't the missile just go after the engine exhaust? F16 carries 2 missiles and that will not bring them down. Shooting guns at the fuselage to bring it down reminds me of the gun camera footage. Bush stands tall and tells the world "We will kill it!" I don't really think he know what he is saying. He is not the triggerman. Emilio "noname" wrote in message ... They were totally useless on 9/11.
