On Monday the Washington Free Beacon reported eleven commercial jetliners went missing after Islamist terrorists belonging to “The Masked Men Brigade” took control of the Tripoli airport in August. The Masked Men Brigade is linked to al Qaeda and Ansar al Sharia — the group behind the Benghazi terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2012.

Bingo, my thought exactly. This is scary beyond belief for European nations.

Would taking down the electrical grid make this possible?

Probably not. Centers have back up power available and could continue to operate.

However, if under direct physical attack they probably would not stay up on line and especially if they got into the control rooms where the air controllers work.

A party with fireworks. How lovely. We will have so much to thank this administration and it’s prozac brained progressive minions for. Well, let’s see do I want to be nuked or do I want to see my grand kids heads on poles - so many choices/s

Well thank you. I’ve been cogitating on the connections from recorded events over the past two years and connecting the dots.

I have trouble believing it also, because it dismays me to think this is yet another created mess being engineered from within by muzzies, with real consequences for freedom and our Constitutional republic.

Like the old Pogo comic: “We have met the enemy and he is us”

Someone posted something here today about one of the “American” jihadists that had been killed in the ME recently; he had worked at an airport cleaning planes. Wonder how many more there are like him at airports around the country.

Re: Aviation radar...
Air traffic radar have been detuned to filter out all other data except for reading the Transponder codes.
They will you if you ask them for a vector around thunderstorms that they are detuned and can't see anything but the heaviest cells.
It is possible to turn off the transponder and go unseen by ATC. Buddy up with a bonified flight, say about 300ft below and 500 ft aft and you will been unseen.
Our ADIZ have been a joke since the ‘70s

I watch a TV show from the late 90’s (1999 ish) called Sports Night, that is in repeats. It’s still quite jarring to see the “show” within the “show” come back from commercial and see the Twin Towers standing, all lit up at night...

Well, if you want to venture into dark optimism...

The most bang for the buck with an airliner loaded with fuel will be used against places where a lot of liberals live...

LOL, let’s see, the Iranians let our hostages go less than thirty minutes after being sworn in.

So, maybe 3 minutes after Cruz or Palin is sworn in the Tomahawks will be flying!

I’m reminded however that, sort of like Pearl Harbor, when 911 was happening, our fighters were in the air and the pilots (one was a woman) were preparing to ram the airliner to bring it down because they had no bullets in their planes guns.

Our military, the greatest in the world, has the history of being a little behind the 8 ball when the first shots are fired. So, if these 14 planes show up airborne off our shores, are we going to be ready? Are our planes going to be armed? Is the radar turned on? Are orders in place? Are we READY!?

I pray so or millions of Americans could die.

One things for sure, the Obama/Jarrett/Hagel/Rice/Biden team can be counted on to F it all up! And then blame it on others.
