Yeah here is a quick example (sorry if I'm going off the topic from "what hit the pentagon" issue, which I absolutely loathe):
Quote:
June 2001 The decade-old procedure for a quick response by the nation's air defense was changed. NORAD's military commanders could no longer issue the command to launch fighter jets because approval had to be sought from the civilian Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Numerous reports confirming that the first fighter jet that had scrambled was after the pentagon hit:
Quote:
The day before this announcement, acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers in congressional testimony stated that the first fighters got airborne only after the Pentagon was hit at 9:37 a.m. [US Congress, 10/13/2001]
NORAD spokesman Marine Corps Major Mike Snyder also claimed no fighters launched anywhere until after the Pentagon was hit. [Boston Globe, 10/15/2001]
New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani later testifies before the 9/11
Commission that he found out from the White House at about 9:58 a.m. that the first fighters were not launched toward New York City until twelve minutes earlier—9:46 a.m. [9/11 Commission, 6/19/2004]

So who's telling the truth, Kevin?
Maybe it's about time you take this issue more seriously, Kevin...
Here's a good place to start, Kevin...
