You probably know these two links: 1) Pentagon arms missile batteries around D.C. (September 11, 2002 Posted: 9:47 AM): http://edition.cnn.com/2002/US/09/10/ar911.air.defense/index.html Quotes: “The Pentagon decided Tuesday to arm portable surface-to-air missile launchers deployed around Washington.” “For the first time since the Cuban missile crisis almost 40 years ago, armed missile launchers will be protecting the nation's capital by day's end Tuesday -- a precaution that comes amid a heightened alert status on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks.” 2) Context of '(8:45 a.m.-9:37 a.m.) September 11, 2001: Secret Service Does Not Use Its Stinger Missiles to Protect New York and Washington' http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a845stingermissiles#a845stingermissiles NORAD: Official link: “About NORAD”: http://www.norad.mil/about/index.html Quote: “To accomplish the aerospace warning mission, the commander of NORAD provides an integrated tactical warning and attack assessment to the governments of Canada and the United States. To accomplish the aerospace control mission, NORAD uses a network of satellites, ground-based radar, airborne radar and fighters to detect, intercept and, if necessary, engage any air-breathing threat to North America. As a part of its aerospace control mission, NORAD assists in the detection and monitoring of aircraft suspected of illegal drug trafficking.” This link does not mention that "surface-to-air missiles” can be used to accomplish this “aerospace control mission”. The same official link of the NORAD asserts: “The events of September 11, 2001 demonstrated NORAD’s continued relevance to North American security.” Of course this assertion is ridiculous because NORAD has totally failed on 11 September 2001. A good analysis of this failure is given by the following link: “The Failure to Defend the Skies on 9/11” By Paul Thompson: http://www.historycommons.org/essay.jsp?article=essayairdefense |
