At the same time, two F-15 fighters were ordered to intercept United Flight 175, then speeding toward the south tower. In six minutes the planes were aloft, manned by National Guard pilots. They arrived eight minutes late.

two F-15 fighters were ordered to intercept United Flight 175, then speeding toward the south tower. In six minutes the planes were aloft, manned by National Guard pilots. They arrived eight minutes late. Where is the NY/NJ Air Guard based?
F-16s from North Dakota training in Virginia scrambled just before terrorists struck the Pentagon.
I've heard Stan Monteith state on Radio Liberty that those F-16s were based at Langley AFB in Hampton, VA - 200 miles from DC.

The dims are too dim to know or care about anything but their hate. Good words are wasted on them. Like ORielly says, they are pinheads.
