"Just because there was money spent or appropriated under a column "ballistic missile defense" at the Pentagon, that doesnt mean that the Pentagon is equipped with any kind of defense system against missiles or planes or anything else. For all we know, the Pentagon, the location of Donald Rumsfeld & Top Brass office, and home to highly sensitive defense control units, is completely undefended -- and even a slow-flying lazy old 757 aircraft flown by amateur pilots could probably even circle overhead and approach the Pentagon itself, without anyone being the wiser. So all you all who keep saying that the Pentagon's defenses were ordered to stand down and not respond to hostile threats ("Do the Orders Still Stand?") -- had better first produce some hard factual evidence including photos and video and credible first-person testimony that the Pentagon had ANY kind of air defense protection at all. The fact that money was appropriated for Pentagon reservation missile defense means that they were equipped to defend at most against missiles, and no way Jose would anti-missile defense ever be able to stop a 757! [edit: sarcasm alert. the link post is quite serious. Many, including Barbara Honegger, cite evidence that the Pentagon is indeed well-protected and any 'friendly' aircraft approaching would have to emit a IFF signal that was friendly to avoid being blown out of the sky. for the defenses to be lowered, a stand-down order would have to be issued. ] Edited by JackD, Jun 4 2009, 03:26 AM.
