Citat:
Ursprungligen postat av Fahrenheit451
Men ge dig nu. Dina påståenden är utan tvekan hämtade från artikeln i Calgary Herald den 13 oktober 2001. Samma tidningsartikel pekar mycket riktigt på att Norad hade sänt upp jakt 129 gånger under år 2000, men den siffran användes för att illustrera att antalet ingripande före 9/11 var FÅTALIGA.
Du bara plockar ett random tal ur en random artikel och drar stora växlar på det, utan att ens läsa igenom vad du länkar till. Hade du bemödat dig att göra det hade du sett, precis som mina ovanstående citar indikerar, att:
1. Norad var inte uppbyggt för att ta hand om inrikes hot
2. Norad skötte sitt jobb exemplarist utifrån de uppgifter man hade, precis som artikeln du använder som källa visar:
Citat:
As the horror unfolded, Northern Aerospace Defence Command was challenged with preventing more carnage. Where was Norad, the multimillion-dollar, 24-hour eyes and ears of North American skies, when the hijacked planes embarked on their sinister missions?
____________________
Ironically, Norad was doing its job: peering 300 kilometres out into the Air Defence Identification Zone encircling North America. Its task: to help assess, within two minutes, if each of the 7,000 incoming aircraft every day is friend or foe.
It was scanning space for something as tiny as a fleck of paint which at nearly 58,000 km/h can damage a shuttle.
It was on alert for intercontinental ballistic missiles which, if fired from rogue nations such as North Korea, will strike North America in 23 minutes.
Norad's 1,100 army, navy, marine and air force personnel -- 12 per cent of them Canadian -- were neither expecting, nor trained, to deal with manned missiles launched out of Boston.
When the second plane hit the other World Trade Center tower, Norad swiftly shifted its attention to help prevent possible further attacks.
Norad was instrumental in getting fighter jets -- normally on 15-minute alert -- airborne within eight minutes.
About 2,400 commercial flights in U.S. skies at the time -- and thousands more incoming flights and private planes -- were quickly diverted and grounded.

Hoppas du ser det fetmarkerade ut från folieskyddet. Där står klart och tydligt att Norad först började koncentrera sig på flygplanen EFTER att det andra planet träffade WTC. Fattar du?
DÄREFTER började man undersöka vad som höll på att hönda, för detta var inte del av Norads primära arbetsuppgifter. Är det klart eller?
