But the government couldn't track the location of the planes because the terrorists on 9/11 turned off the transponders!
But NORAD only had 14 fighters on alert and none were at Andrews Air Force Base located 15 miles from the Pentagon!
But NORAD didn't know about Flight 93 until one minute after it already crashed!
But Payne Stewart's plane wasn't intercepted for over an hour!
Why not just blame it on the war games? I guess the detriment of charges of intentionally being stalled outweighed the benefit of a legitimate excuse.
"There is no way that an aircraft . . . would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control ... Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a 'conspiracy Theory' does not change the truth. It seems, 'Something is rotten in the State.'" - Capt. Daniel Davis, Former U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director, decorated with the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal
