WHAT!!!
and they dont consider in the military whether some one would like to be the one to shoot down a plane full of people or who would like to give the order....that argument is just ridiculous......
The colonel says:
excuse me son would you like to go shoot down a plane full of people ???
The pilot says :
not really sir ...could you send some one else please...
if were about to enter a nuclear war will we ask the people in the silos or on the nuclear subs if they would like to pull the trigger on sending bombs to destroy millions ????

When Payne Stewart's plane left its flight trajectory, military jets were quickly scrambled to find out what was going on.
You failed to mention the fact that the plane had been out of radio contact for several hours. That is why the planes were diverted to it.
Check the index, that issue was already beaten to death.

Well im not sure where you get your information, but according to the NTSB the plane was not responding for about 30 minutes before they had an F-16 doing a visual inspection. Visual. That means that within 30 minutes they had lost contact, launched a plane to intercept Payne Stewart, AND REACHED HIM.
All within 30 minutes. www.ntsb.gov...
Im sure this has been 'beaten to death' but i could not let this statement go unchecked.

umm, its right there in that link, the NTSB report, page three.
The F-16 was 'vectored' in from AFB, Fla.

Well i have news for you, the 'blame game' isnt going away anytime soon. The true patriots, the ones that are concerned about life and liberty for ALL americans, the ones that have actually researched 911 and come to some painful conclusions, will never let this die.

Quite untrue.
Jets were scrambled, but didn't reach the hijacked planes in time.......
.........Six minutes later, they were given the scramble order. (8:46am) Link
At 8:46am, flight 11 hit the first World Trade Center building. The scrambled fighters were 17 minutes/153 miles away.
At 9:02am, flight 175 hit the second World Trade Center building. The scrambled fighters were 8 minutes/71 miles away.
At 9:24am, NORAD is notified of another hijacked airliner off course. Langley AFB in Hampton, VA immediately scrambles F-16s.
They were in the air and en route at 9:30am.
At 9:37am, flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. The scrambled fighters were 12 minutes/105 miles away.
