Loose Change - Part II

Nope where did you get that idea?

From you, SBrown.

 

[WildCat]

So you're jumping to the conclusion that restricted airspaces automatically have missile defense systems?
ETA: Like sports stadiums?

The airspace over Disney World is restricted. I'm pretty sure Goofy will shoot you down w/ some sort of Mickey Mouse laser gun if you enter it.

You are the one that said they could not have a missile defense because pattern to Reagen would bring them in danger.

More "questions" from the CT-ists, I see.

OK I am stumped in an argument with someone and I have no answer for.

Why did the Pentagons missile defense system not react when the 757 entered its airspace?

--
Of course. They had to have had one. A stupid frigate has multiple ones. The Pentagon is the heart of our national defense. Why would they not have one?
--
So I guess if they were testing one in 2002, they didnt have one in 2001....right?
--
So the whole Pentagon restricted airspace thing is a farce?
--
Wait a minute, I believe the Pentagon has always had a restricted airspace. Are you saying that it only had one directly after the attacks on Sept 11th?

From your series of posts.

Do you have something productive to add here?

Pretty much yeah

go check google maps or google earth whichever

Pull up the satellite view of Reagan national airport, zoom in on runway marked 15, scroll north - northwest and tell me if you think. How could you have restricted airspace at the end of a runway?

or even better jump on a flight to DC, I was their 3 months ago, flew in and out of Reagan. Make sure you get a window seat. Flew close enough to the Pentagon to freak me out a bit. maybe I am still suffering the "frontal lobe" thing geggy ranted about

I believe the Pentagon had and has a defense system: freaking big reinforced walls.

Disney World is nowhere near Reagan. That's why Goofy will shoot you down. Just try it buster!

 

[SBrown]

Wildcat is the one that said planes pass over the Pentagon so they could not have a MD. I asked about the restricted airspace. Is this a farce?

Is this some kind of joke?

Not to mention that, as others have said, there is lots of air traffic around there, even close to the Pentagon airspace. Before the crash, a few other planes that were approaching the Pentagon that they thought might be hostile turned out not to be, so they already had some "false hits" (for lack of a better term).

A lot of our defenses are set up for an outside attack. If hostile enemy aircraft was coming in from the atlantic ocean and heading for the Pentagon, you damn well better bet that it would get shot down before it reached there. 9/11 was just such a different situation, a very difficult one to pick out what is a threat and what isn't with limited info at hand. God forbid you shoot down a civilian airliner that wasn't hostile!

 

[Gravy]

Do you?

Yes. I offer you the opportunity to read the literature that's linked in my sig.

I also encourage you to read your last posts here, and consider how they sound to others.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

SBrown, just for giggles, let's say the Pentagon has restricted airspace. So what?

 

[realitybites]

Do you?

Once more, the "I know you are but what am I" phase of the CT argument has been reached.

 

[WildCat]

Wildcat is the one that said planes pass over the Pentagon so they could not have a MD. I asked about the restricted airspace. Is this a farce?

Restricted air space ≠ missile defense system, as has been pointed out to you. Do you understand that, or are you just here to troll?

More "questions" from the CT-ists, I see.

It's a pretty good question actually. I've never had a problem with questions, I only have a problem when you give the answers and people refuse to accept them.

 

[WildCat]

Absolutely not! Why do you think those costumes are so big? Snow White has a Stinger launcher under her skirt, and Donald Duck has been known to tote a RPG launcher. Can't be too careful nowadays.
