Sept. 11 commission leaders Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton write in their book, "Without Precedent," that it was mind-boggling that authorities had asserted their air defenses reacted quickly and were prepared to shoot down United Airlines Flight 93, Associated Press reported. In reality, the shoot-down order did not reach North American Aerospace Command pilots until after all the hijacked planes had crashed.
"Fog of war could explain why some people were confused on the day of 9/11, but it could not explain why all of the after-action reports, accident investigations and public testimony by FAA and NORAD officials advanced an account of 9/11 that was untrue," the chairmen wrote.

Aligning ourselves with the Zionists of Israel has reversed American morality. Expediency rather than principle now trumps our behavior and instead of trying to end so-called “terrorism” we’re funding it, perpetuating it, and furnishing the weapons.
Disassociating America from Israel and making peace with the Arabs on only our terms will bring peace and the Arabs will deal with their fringe violent elements as do we.
There is no future for peace or financial stability on our current course.
George W. Bush has single handily done something that not one person has done on almost 2000 years…
He has united the entire Arab world against the USA.
How is that for progress?
Its time for us to do as Ed says, disassociate ourselves from Israel.
I also say its time for us to start pulling our troops back from all over the world… Its time the UN became the worlds police force, not us. We need to tend to our problems here at home (rising unemployment, rising debt, lack of security, lack of leadership, etc…)…
Has anyone listened to the NORAD tapes? All I can say is, Wow! They certainly point to many problems we have that had not been addressed pre-9/11. And, for me, they continue to raise questions. But since my tinfoil hat isn’t handy… LOL
We are friends with the Arabs you dumb fuck. Lebanese, Palestinians, Pakistanis, Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis, Kuwaitis, Iranians… These people are NOT Arabs you dumb fuck. Arabs come from ARABIA, Saudi Arabia at present. It’s called Saudi Arabia because it is a kingdom ruled by the house of Saud. The Arab monarchy disassociated themselves from Osama bin Laden. They are extremely friendly with President Bush Jr. Right after 9/11 they were given priority and were flown out of the U.S. while all other air traffic was halted! Once again Ed dazzles us with his naivette believing that countries like Iran who fund Hezbollah are simply going to stop using this paramilitary army to attack the U.S. and Europe! Once again, Ed proves to us that he knows jack shit about the middle east or the situation there.
Will,Following the founding of Islam, Arabs went on a conquest that reach as far as east as India and west to Morocco and Southern France. And you are confusing Arabs the population, who are highly critical of the US, and the ruling elites, who will be dethroned within hours if not supported by the US. So, it is you who are ignorant of the Middle East.
I think the great spaghetti monster in the sky is responsible for it all!
To WillJust an FYI…The Iranians are Persians, not Arabs.Egyptians are Arabs.
We spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined, and we can’t even track airliners and defend the Pentagon.
That’s because the massive money train flows not to what’s needed but to what rewards conservative backers–”Star Wars” missile defense or gigantic artillery systems obsolete since Vietnam.
If we had a real commander-in-chief, we’d have a top to bottom housecleaning and the liars would be unceremoniously canned.
This president probably will give them a medal for covering his incompetence.
CapnAmerica,
It is Rumsfield who has been reshaping the military since he took office with Bush.
Of course don’t let the truth stand in your way…
Can you tell me how much of the defense budget is allocated to the SDI program?
Rumsfeld is an idiot. He could catch Bin Laden because he an idiot, he’s loosing Iraq because he’s an idiot and he cant defend the country because he’s an idiot!
Perhaps the correct terminology would be Muslim, rather than Arab.
Bush has succeeded in unifying the entire Muslim word against the United States…
Will, we are only friends with the governments of Lebanese, Palestinians, Pakistanis, Afghans, Syrians and Iraqis, for that matter Saudi Arab. Their citizens hate us. Remember, half of the hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arab!
Kuwait tolerates us because we saved their ass a decade ago and the Iranians flat out despise us.
Will my sir, I will not sink to your level by calling your idiotic, single syllable names… If you can defend your position, be my guest…
The Talking heads on American TV were more interested in whether or not their latest lie { The Heathrow Hoax } helped Bush’s approval ratings.
The dragged every traitor they could find to put their two sense worth of aid for the Greatest Propaganda Scam every foisted on the American People…..”The Great Heathrow Hoax.”
Historians should have fun with this one.
When the FBI came-up with their 7 losers that were supposed to take down the Sears Tower, the light-bulb flashed brightly over Karl Rove’s head.
Karl was thinking that the best way to catch the most important Al-Qaida scheme was to manufacture one.
Bush had no credibility left, so the “natural” for this opt was Tony Blair.
Tony Blair could be blamed for wiretapping and other so-called “surveillance” without putting any heat on Bush……just perfect and the flow of information to the phony plot could be could be spoon-fed to the American People…..More coming.
Israel manufacturers so-called “terrorism” yet no mention was ever made of the Zionist murdering Arabs everyday for the past 60 years. That must have just slipped the minds, now don’t you think?
Wow Ed, I’m impressed…
A little out there but for the most part, a reasonable post…
… for conspiracy theorists …
Vice President Dick Cheney actually said: “The defeat of Joe Lieberman was helping al-Qaida.”
Man, is Cheney ever desperate or what?
Ed,
When these “close calls” no longer are sufficient to rouse the sheeple you can be sure that wee will have anther real attack on American soil.
V.L.R.B!!
Ian
The American People are wising-up about American/Zionist-Jewish propaganda.
Some from reading the outragious claims made by AIPAC.
AIPAC’s “over-the -top” reports are mostly false, and as they become more desperate, they get worse.
The truth is flushing them out.
But they still have files on every member of congress, every bribe they’ve received, and all the persoal dirt for arm-twisting { blackmail }.
Israel demanded Rumsfeld send them a hurried shipment of bombs and artillery shells that break-open spilling small “bomblets” everywhere. Kids think they’re toys and women think they’re food packets. When picked-up the explosion will cause the victim a life or limb and they are against the laws of warfare by the Geneva Conventions as well as US law.
Rumsfeld doesn’t care. The Zionist-Jews sure don’t care.
The Neocons don’t care, as well as the rest of the traitors.
AIPAC writes legislative bills and congress signs them without ever having read them.
When AIPAC is ready to show your wife a naked picture of you, stoned or drunk, banging some whores { plural } you’d sign any bill you were told, that is, if you wanted to keep the all the bribe money and stay out of jail.
Ed,
The U.S. dropped those same packets in Afghanistan. They looked exactly like the food packets.
Whoever says Bush is doing everything he can to fight terrorism is blinded by loyalty.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14333164/The war on terrorism will never be won in Iraq.
Will, you are such an IDIOT! Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, are ALL Arabs. Most are Muslims, many are Christians. ALL are now enemies of the United States.
We are NOT friends with even the governments of Palestine nor Lebanon – we are enemies to both. In fact, we have fully supported the kidnapping of half the Pelestinian government by Israel.
According to the Prime Minister of Lebanon (who used to be our friend) our client has committed innumerable atrocities against his citizens. WE provided the bombs to commit those atrocities, ACCORDING TO OUR FORMER FRIEND.
Ben
What gets me is how anybody with half a brain doesn’t know that “terrorism” is a made-up word by Israel for the Palestinians. How could the Palestinians be “terrorist” after 60 years of being brutalized by the Jews?
Now with the Jews “terrorizing” the Lebanese it should be easy for even a halfwit to see that the “terrorism” thing was a phony right from 1945 to date.
The Zionist-Jews are worst than the Nazis by far, as the Nazis did turn France into rubble, and did not destroy the Eiffel Tower and the Arch-d-Triumph along with the City of Paris.
Israel is a Rogue Terrorist State right from the get-go and the rest has been nothing propaganda all the way, and should be obvious even to an idiot.
They lie and take our money and spread misery. Even run-up the price of gasoline.
Anyone should be able to see through this Heathrow Hoax for the propaganda ploy which it is, after seeing the FBI try to pull-off the same type of stunt in Florida with those 7 losers.
The Heathrow Hoax is just more sophisticated than the Florida Hoax was.
As I said: ” Aligning ourselves with the Zionists of Israel has reversed American morality. Expediency rather than principle now trumps our behavior and instead of trying to end so-called “terrorism” we’re funding it, perpetuating it, and furnishing the weapons.
Disassociating America from Israel and making peace with the Arabs on only our terms will bring peace and the Arabs will deal with their fringe violent elements as do we.
There is no future for peace or financial stability on our current course.”
Come on over to “Kansas Com” and get your ass kicked XXX.Smokers suck, they always have and always will. They have no ability to kick the habit and they probably drink and do drugs too much alsoPM
Hey “politicalmom”
I’m a very polite smoker myself. But somebody like you? I’d take a nice long drag and blow it right at ya!
Go back to your quiet little forum dink. You are WAY outta your league here!
Yo, politicalmom,I am an x smoker (twice). Difficult to quit, but not impossible. I haven’t lit up in over ten years, so I think have a right to an opinion here:
First off, smokers don’t bother me. Their smoking doesn’t bother me. What does bother me are the total f***ing morons who want the world to turn in their direction. I believe you fit that bill to a ‘T’.
XXX Get his ass kicked at kansas com? You have no idea what beast you wake up, lady. Stay inside, wear a gas mask, pray to whomever, and keep your doors locked. You have no business walking with us normal humans. You live in a fairy land of lunacy. In fact, move to California: The nuts out there would love you.
Oh, by the way, I neither drink nor do drugs. Bet you can’t claim the same.
hee hee hee hee hee Walker.
I sense a distince blog envy going on in Salina.
Their block SUCKS and this blog ROCKS so they wanna lure some of us over there? hee hee hee hee hee
They must have hired a republican marketing consultant at the salina blog.
Or John Montgomery from Harris News. It seems ALL the Harris blogs suck, including the one at the Hays Daily, the FORMER home of one John “my dad owned the company” Montgomery.
Coincidence? heheheheheheheheheheh
Tip to meadowpoop and pm….
Write some interesting stuff and you might get interesting folks to participate.
Write your same tired old rnc talking points and no one responds. From here either.
Where oh where is Tara when we need someone to draw them a PICTURE?
well i look at it this way a few say we need to distant ourselves from isreal and make friends with the jihad and other extremenist. well for one thing isreal never started anything but they do try to finish it. And making friends with extreme religous fanatics, How? when their only goal is to shove their beleifs down everyone throats and kill anyone that wont swallow? mmmm now true islam tolerate other religions unlike christian beleifs where their way is right and all other religions is wrong and evil and will not tolerate it. Now i am a white patriotic white male who is honorably discharged from the airforce because of health reasons who will be one of the first to defend this great country of ours against foreigen invaders who are foolish enough to step a foot on this great country soil, but to say illogical things like lets leave isreal hanging and lets make friends with people who will kill you if you give them a chance is really kind of funny. now not all arabs are against us in fact there are a few who consider us friends on the diplomatic front and are willing to let isreal be a country.So my fellow posters look at the world facts on both sides before opening mouth and inserting foot.
