For those of you that are confused, let me add this: On 9/11, the military was doing a "training exercise" on terrorism. So when they heard that planes had hit the twin towers, etc. they probably thought it was part of a drill. Anyhow, that is one of the "excuses" why military planes didn't intercept the "hijacked planes" -- because they were miles away on an exercise. All our fighter planes were busy training for what they'd do if terrorists hijacked a plane, etc. All on 9/11/01.

Isn't that ironic -- or suspicious. Now we have something similar!

I think you are the one confused ChantCD.   There is no evidence that exercises may have hindered the military response.  There was ample confusion yes,  but your suggestion is grossly inaccurate.  

There was already 2 F-15's out of Ortiz, Mass. at 8:46am, from an order given at 8:37am.
Edited:  Also, 3 F-16's where already in the air in an exercise over North Carolina and could have been over Washington before 9:00am.

Furthermore, the suggestion that reviewing procedures will take precedence over responding to a threat on national security really show how deep down the rabbit hole you are.  I'm discouraged.
