Regardless if it was staged or not, The U.S. allowed the attacks to happen. We stood down and did nothing.

You know, there's a big difference between shooting a plane down and intercepting it. That's all I'm going to say.

Very true! During the Cold War, the USAF would routinly intercept Russian TU-95 strategic bombers over the Bering Straight and shadow them untill they returned to Russian airspace without ever fireing a shot. They took photos on these missions. During peacetimes it is very rare to shoot at an intercepted aircraft, If any force is used it is usually in the form of forcing the plane to land and then detaining passengers and crew unharmed.

The question has always revolved around WHAT hit it.

Well you probably can't but the reality is FAA, NORAD and the military have cooperative procedures by which fighter jets automatically intercept commercial aircraft under ANY emergency conditions. So regardless if the military aircraft couldn't get the commericial jet to land or risk shooting it down we would've at leat known that our government tried on 9/11. In this case they did not.

Then in this case you would have to prove that the figher jets had enough warning and time to get in the air and attempt the intercept. I know there is speculations and theories, but so far I've seen no proof of there being enough time to scramble any intercepting fighter jets.

Why did the Pentagon seize the video taps from the surrounding area stores, gas stations and videos from the pentagon cameras and keep them from public view?
And say it was for security reasons after all they showed the twin Towers over and over
Why did the pentagon cover the lawn with sand? Why is there no flight recorder?
Why was there no luggage? Why were there no bodies?
Why haven�t the pentagon released any footage of the crash?

A Boeing 757-200 clearly hit the building. In addition to the radar tracing, a parking lot security cam caught a glimps of it striking the ground before it hit etc. Not to mention all the witnesses
