which is why having 26 minutes wouldnt not have been enough time to scramble jets to shoot them downThe SOP was never to shoot them down. There is a very exact check list that is followed when a hijacking occurs. Shoot downs are by order of the President and the very last option on the list.
Funny, as you keep putting words into my mouth. Go over this thread very carefully, and you will notice that I use the term socialism, which is appropriate for this situation.
Obama is a socialist, of this there is no doubt.
Interesting...so I cannot call Obama a socialist, because it makes ME seem extreme?
*facepalm*
Obama is a socialist, and has nationalized two (soon to be three) of the country's largest economic sectors. You've got to be blind and dumb not to realize this.
And you expect me to stand down and shut up because of this irrelevant fact? You're patronizing me, and I'm quite tired of it...The simple fact is that all of the developed countries in the world have mixed economies whereby private property and the rule of law are the foundation of society, and the market is the primary system of resource allocation, with the government becoming involved based on societal prerogatives. The only difference in each country is to what degree.
Nationalized health care, where the government is primarily allocator of who gets what, is hardly capitalism. We're talking about nearly 20% of our total GDP.
Perhaps I should patronize you with a lecture on the problems with monopsony?
actually, had they been something other than commercial planes it would have caused a greater reactionIt would be more than enough time. Even by 1970's standards, which is when we established the present protocols.
Consider this. We are so incompetent that we have have no air defense whatsoever in this country. If we were attacked by war planes rather than commercial airliners that have transponders we'd just be sitting ducks. Is that what you think? That's what the majority of people think. It's not logical.

A greater reaction with whom?
Another myth perpetuated by MSM: The FAA had to notify NORAD that the transponders were down.

Another myth perpetuated by MSM: The FAA had to notify NORAD that the transponders were down.
and it was pretty clear from the FAA reports that they didnt know exactly what was happening either
which means NORAD would have still been tracking them as a commercial planeuh, had they been non-commercial planes, NORAD would have been the first to knowA greater reaction with whom?

NORAD knows if there is a loose screw in orbit. They know where every plane is realtime. The FAA is inconsequential. They don't order intercepts.

until notified by the FAA they had been highjacked
and again, at that time highjacked planes were not seen as the threat they would be today

er.......no.
OMFGConsider the absurdity of what you just said. The FAA has to notify NORAD when a transponder goes off. The FAA didn't get any notice of a hijacking. The transponders went off. Mr. Terrorist didn't say: "Hey we hijacked these planes, now we are going to disable the transponders, see ya!" The FAA is not responsible for a response, they control air traffic. They are not the Air Force. I suppose you think ATC is our first line of defense.
NORAD knows when transponders go off. They have multiple and redundant ways of tracking planes and objects.
the FAA has to notify them that it is off and that it is an issue
yeah, cause i'm sure NORAD scrambles F-16 and F-15 every time a transponder goes offIt's always an issue when a transponder goes off.
the FAA has to notify them that it is off and that it is an issue
No, the FAA doesn't have to notify NORAD of anything. NORAD knows when transponders go off. What are you missing?
And stop being such a whiny negger. You are the only person who negs me........repeatedly.....coward.![]()
what a whiny bitch you areI would assume so NORAD could help them in case of a malfunction. But NORAD doesn't need to be informed by the FAA of anything, and if you think so, then you automatically think the Air Force is a bunch of incompetent boobs. I don't.
Cute divecon..........what a little negger troll you are AGAIN. Boo hoo.
