[Intolerant in NJ]

#73. One of those strip alerts previously cut back prior to that day (under Clinton) was Atlantic City, N.J...not to quibble, since I'm obviously not as up on this as you are, but there is still a very active Air National Guard squadron in Pomona, N.J., right outside of Atlantic City. Local news reports after 911 said that fighters from that base were among the first into the air and arriving in D.C. the morning of the attack - maybe this is not the operation to which you're referring, or maybe it was reinstituted by Bush?.......

the unit there I am very familiar with. Unfortunately for budgetary cutbacks previously, they were not on official status that fateful morning as they had been for years. Later that morning(post attack) along with all the other sites around the country(19) along with the 7 which were on status which had been previously cut were restored to official alert status.
