Skyeagle, if you took your head from your rear end and actually clicked the link I provided in my last post (perhaps, God forbid, take on the information within) then you might realise the extensive and continual mistakes that you are making and the falsities that you are spreading.

There was no way that F-16 flew near United 93,
Wrong
The Langley fighters were certainly in range to intercept Flight 93 prior to the shootdown and that was indeed NORAD’s intention – you would have known this had you clicked the link and taken onboard the information. There is also potential for Gibney to have reached the crash zone prior to taxiing Jacoby to New York.

the military did not receive an order to shoot down any airliner until after United 93 had crashed,
Wrong
What you are actually referring to is that fact that none of Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld provided shootdown authority until after Flight 93 was down. But the fact is that Major General Arnold of NORAD had made the decision that Flight 93 would not be allowed to reach Washington, had discussed shootdown options and USAF pilot Anthony Kuczynski would report that he held shootdown orders on his way to intercept Flight 93
- you would have known this had you clicked the link and taken onboard the information.
The 9/11 Commission report discusses the issue: -
"It is possible that NORAD commanders would have ordered a shootdown in the absence of the authorization communicated by the Vice President, but given the gravity of the decision to shoot down a commercial airliner, and NORAD’s caution that a mistake not be made, we view this possibility as unlikely. NORAD officials have maintained that they would have intercepted and shot down United 93 [in lieu of a shootdown order from higher up the chain]."
Given NORAD’s potential ability to act alone upon initiative of their own commanders, the fact that Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld did not provide shootdown authority until after Flight 93 was down is irrelevant.

radar did not detect any F-16s in the area nor near United 93
Wrong
ATC comments indicate that F-16s were in the area
- you would have known this had you clicked the link and taken onboard the information.

the military was unaware that United 93 had crashed,
Wrong
The record indicates that it took 9 minutes for one chain of command within NORAD, of which there were multiple chains of command directing fighters, to receive confirmation that Flight 93 was down. This does not constitute “the military” as a whole and does not preclude that other chains of command were involved in and aware of a shootdown as it occurred.

They were to establish CAP over Washington, which is not anywhere near Shanksville.
Wrong
The Flight 93 crash location was a brief approximately 10 minutes flight time from Washington (which rubbishes your claim here and further above that F-16s were “not anywhere near” Flight 93) - you would have known this had you clicked the link and taken onboard the information. Whilst CAP was established to protect Washington, NORAD’s intention was to stop Flight 93
before it got there, not allow the threat to get
over the capital only then moving to intercept. The threat was already within such proximity that it was now or never for NORAD.

Let's hear from the F-16 pilot.
This doesn't tell us anything that we don't already know. Or, do you mean, you are waiting for the pilots to confirm that one of them took the shot? And you don’t see the problem with that? Oh dear.

You were simply duped by those conspiracy websites into thinking there was a possibility he could have shot down United 93. What it is, you create conspiracies from disinformation and misinformation and when I see you doing so, I respond the way I do.
Wrong
Seriously, take your head out of your ass. None of this is based on ‘conspiracy websites’. It’s just plain fact that you are too ignorant and/or deceptive, to yourself and those around you, to take onboard. You really need to readjust your views to accept reality (if that’s possible for you) because your current position is an embarrassment of ignorance for which you should be ashamed - you are wrong over and over when it comes to the basic facts. You respond the way you do because you are too blissfully ignorant to take onboard additional information or learn beyond what you think you know.
