Grazie Nichilista.

Utile è anche questo L'Imperatore è nudo

Vediamo:
The Website of the D.C. Air National Guard (DCANG) is at http://www.dcandr.ang.af.mil
As of April 19, 2001, that Website included the following statement:
.........................."DCANG MISSION
.............To provide combat units in the highest
....................possible state of readiness."

L’attento lettore noterà anche che “Not only is Andrews Air Force Base a few miles from the White House, the Pentagon, the Capital building and the CIA, but it is also the official airport of the US government.”

Cioè la base Andrews non è soltanto a poche miglia dalla Casa Bianca, dal Pentagono..etc., ma è anche l’aeroporto ufficiale del Governo Americano

The President flies out of Andrews. Other top US officials fly out of Andrews. Foreign diplomats and national leaders may arrive and depart from Andrews at any time. For instance:
"[There is] Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Britain. He has just landed here at Andrews Air Force Base." (CNN November 7, 2001)

Let us say that as it took off from Andrews Air Force Base, Tony Blair's plane was attacked by a hostile jet. Would his pilot have to radio the attackers and ask them to kindly postpone their attack until US fighter jets arrived from Langley Air Force Base, 129 miles away? !!!!

Andrew's unique role as the Federal government's official airport is another reason DCANG would withhold key details of its emergency response procedures. So again, when DCANG stated on its Website that its Mission at Andrews included providing combat units "in the highest possible state of readiness," one can be sure this meant Andrews was equipped to scramble aircraft in an emergency.
.............................
So here's the burning question: why weren't those combat jets which DCANG provided, "in the highest possible state of readiness" - why weren't those planes scrambled from Andrews Air Force Base *before* the Pentagon was hit?

Dove erano i due "squadroni pronti al combattimento" ['combat-ready']:

* the 121st Fighter Squadron (FS-121) of the 113th Fighter Wing (FW-113), equipped with F-16 fighters;
* the 321st Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA-321) of the 49th Marine Air Group, Detachment A (MAG-49 Det-A), equipped with F/A-18 fighters.

Dove erano ? A guardare la televisione ?
Dove erano ? In esercitazione?
