"Why were they unable to scramble any defenses for hours? Where was our national defense when we actually needed it? According to the official story, at least, they did absolutely zero to protect us from the 4 hijacked planes."

What is your official source for no planes being scrambled for hours??? Can you explain to me why I personally saw F-16's on afterburner in the air at about 9:20 or so that morning? Maybe I was imagining things...

There is little that could have been done to protect us from the first several planes - they hadn't crashed into anything yet. Prior to 9/11, shooting down a hijacked plane was clearly and obviously out of the question.

If Flight 93 hadn't been brought down by the brave passengers on that flight, I am sure that every effort would have been made to bring the flight down by force before it was able to get to Washington.
