I've also tried to educate them about point-missile defense, and how you would *never* put your main defensive missile batteries directly at the point being defended, in this case the Pentagon.
The 9-11 Omission Report
The 9-11 Commission was created to substantiate the official U.S. government explanation for 9/11.
It performed what we call a "faith-based investigation": it started out by accepting as gospel truth the official explanation, and set about in search of supportive evidence, discarding all contradictory (what a defense attorney would call exculpatory) evidence along the way.
In other words, virtually every piece of evidence and bit of data which did not fit the report's pre-ordained conclusion was simply omitted from the report. It is so full of omissions that it may be more correct to think of it as the 9-11 Omission Report!
Please do not become diverted by other critiques of the report, which concentrate on its conclusions or focus on its failure to assign blame. Such critiques, while correct, totally miss and distract from the real story about the bogus report:
To someone already thoroughly familiar with 9/11, the report is a kind of map, and the report's omissions are like arrows pointing to some of the most serious holes in the official government conspiracy theory of 9/11!
How could anyone not take seriously such a valuable treasure map?
Some major omissions from the 9-11 Commission Report (click on each for more info):
The Pentagon Video Evidence
The missing/impossible seconds
Willful Destruction of WTC 7
The word "explosions"
How, when Bush learned of the attack
Norman Mineta's Astounding Testimony
The Secret Sibel Edmonds Testimony
The Many War Games on 9/11
No NASA Video Enhancements
The Strange Case of John Podesta

The Warren Report concerning the Kennedy assassination was constructed in the same fashion as the 911 Commission Report.
1. Assume the persons responsible for the act (terrorism, assassination) appointed the members on the respective commissions.
2. Directed the assigned commissioners to find the Offical story to be true and correct.
3. Ignore and omit any and all evidence, testimony, that contradicts the Offical Version.
4. Direct media to support the commission report as the way it happened.
5. Ridicule, discredit, marginalize, and attack viable opposition to Official version.
6. Assassinate personalities and actual persons involved with inside knowledge and moral convictions to harm the Official Version.
7. Profit hugely in the aftermath of the event via military/industrial mechanisms.
8. Prohibit release of documents and evidence for fifty years into the future.
9. I will stop there.

As for the hijackers being able to "penetrate our entire Air Force" nonsense,
Maybe if they could point to a clause in NORAD where they are required to track aircraft inside our borders and have fighters ready to intercept on five minute notice, they'd have something.
NORAD failed. But, of course, we're lead to believe that an Indiana ATC was not doing his job properly by noticing that AA77 was 'missing' at around 8.54am. It's great how NORAD tried to take down the FAA with it, in a bunch of lies.
a. For the purpose of clarity and conciseness in this regulation, the term "hi ack" will coversituations in which aircraft control is seized in order to go somewhere other than the scheduleddestination and when an aircraft is stolen or used without permission of the owner and or FederalAviation Administration (FAA) or Transport Canada (TC) authorities. The term 'fescort aircraft" appliesto any military aircraft assigned to the escort mission.
b. Escort missions are requested by the FAA or TC. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) or CanadianChief of Defence Staff (CDS) may task NORAD to escort aircraft in the event of a hijacking. Escortmissions are coordinated between NORAD units and other military and civilian agencies to preventinterference with military operations, avoid possible international incident and provide safety of flight.

NORAD has SOP of interception of errant flights and responds in line with the SOP @40 times each year in USA.
Flawlessly, even though cold war is gone.
They did not on 911 respond with SOP.

Weren't the Langley interceptors (for the alleged AA77) scrambled at 9.24am and took off at 9.30am? Yet, they were scrambled to the wrong location... hmmm...
Yep, NORAD's SOP was not followed

At what time did the FAA alert NORAD about the hijacked airliners.
That's exactly what I would like to know, Boone.
It's hard to find the facts amongst all of the BS.

Flight 77 - 9:36 a.m. (2 minutes before impact)
Why did General Larry Arnold, the head of NORAD's US Continental region, state in open testimony to the Commission in 1993, that NORAD knew about AA77 being hijacked at 9.24 am?
Why did Laura Brown state something like "NORAD logs indicate that the FAA made formal notification about American Flight 77 at 9:24 a.m., but information about the flight was conveyed continuously during the phone bridges before the formal notification."

The commission recommended that the DOD investigate the false claims made by NORAD representatives. They did, no wrongdoing was found.

I'm not sure why Arnold said what he said. But I do know this; the commission felt that they were being deceived and subpoenaed all the audio recordings from NORAD and put NORAD representatives under oath for their next appearance in front of the commission.

Nice way to shoot down your own official story, Donny Boy, by shooting off your own mouth.

It's not nonsense because it actually happened. What part of that don't you understand? For a couple of hours that morning, those four alleged airplanes were allowed to do whatever they liked in US airspace. That's the facts, GenRadek. If you don't choose to believe it, then ask yourself how the alleged planes were allegedly able to strike their targets.
NORAD was inept. It did not send up interceptors in time to shoot down any of the alleged aircraft.

Nonsense it is. If you know anything about alert postures and launch procedures for alert fighters, perhaps you wouldn't embarrass yourself so often by talking about things you know nothing about.

Did you have prescient knowledge of where the hijacked aircraft were going?
