Fanatical Muslims would, I assume, want to cause maximum carnage and crash as many planes as possible into
any high profile target they could get their hands on.
NWO false flag types, however, would surely not risk complicating such a delicate operation with anything other than the WTC planes. What exactly was the point of hitting the Pentagon with a missile? Has it been established what the target of the Shanksville plane was? What would have been the point of hitting that target for the NWO?
Just the WTC should have been sufficient for provoking a war for oil.

How often happen these wargames? Could have been all by chance indeed. And even if the terrorists knew about it, how can NORAD disable their own defences for an exercise? Sounds plenty not smart. With all the cash the military throws around you would think they can set up a training facility so they can exercise withou having to drop their pants.,edit on 17-10-2011 by autohoover1 because: (no reason given)

The war games -Vigilant Gaurdian- proposed a bomber attack from the former USSR. According to testimony from the 9/11 Commission Report it took the armed forces about 30 seconds to adjust.
No hijacking simulations.
Multiple live fly hijacking exercises were occuring on 911.

Do you plan to actually post evidence of this at some point or this akin to your Shanksville crater opinion - simply hoping by constantly repeating it, it will some how magically come true?
Already did, not going to waste my time for you Hooper, use the search function.

You really need to learn to stop going to these damned fool conspiracy web sites for your information. Their agenda has absolutely nothing to do with researching the events of 9/11 and everything to do with getting people all paranoid over shadows.
Example # 1- the "NORAD ran drills of planes being used as wepons" claim. This person omits the fact that planners always believed such planes would be flying in from outside the country. The posters own sources says that there was never any drill that was identical to the events of 9/11. This is classical conspiracy monger innuendo dropping.
Example # 2 - the "Cheney was in charge of the wargames" claim. The false claim is made that "the secret service is in charge of the air force" (only in matters of presidentiual security can the secret service influence Air Force planning), which then leads to "Bush was out of commission at a florida school leaving Cheney in the White House" overlookign the fact that Bush was still president regardless of where he was, which is then perverted into becoming, "cheney was in charge of the war games". This is classical five degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon game playing.
Example # 3- the "interceptors were sent out over the ocean" claim. What isn't being pointed out is that out by Long Island there's a military aircraft staging area, where miliitary planes are put into holding patterns so they won't collide with commercial aircraft. This is classical cherrypicking information out of context.
Whether you're a truther, debunker, researcher, realist, or just a stamp collector, it doesn't matter. If someone has to play these mind games to manipulate their material to get the rest of us to believe what they want us to believe, and then pass it off as "undeniable facts", it's a de facto admission they know what they're saying is false, regardless of who it is that's doing it.

Aww man... looks like Goodoldave just debunked this one. So now what? Guess we argue about jet fuel.
OT: I don't have much to add to the topic I think Goodoldave stated my position on it without making me go through the trouble.

Yeah, just like I thought - nothing. No direct evidence that the military was conducting exercises on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 involving hijacked commercial aircraft.
