Rawstory: Military Aircraft Was Doomsday Plane.
I ran a search and didn't see this anywhere. Apologies if it was already posted. It's rawstory, so mods, please let us play in the big yard for a while!

Was this plane involved in the military exercises? Lemme guess, it came onto the scene after things went awry. :eyes:

1. There are several E-4B's they have been flying for many years.
I don't see this as anything new or to get excited about. I have made a couple of model's of these planes using models of 747 in 1/72 scale. Originally they did not have the diamond shaped antenna on the top to communicate with satellites as the do now.

I remember seeing one at March AFB when ever Reagan went to his "ranch" in Goleta.

2. Lee Hamilton says "who cares?"
"9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton told CNN he was aware of the incident and that it had simply never seemed important enough to make it into the commission's report. He called conspiracy theories involving government complicity in 9/11 "ludicrous." "


Gee, Lee that sounds like your investigation was really, really thorough!

9. Why send an unarmed communications plane...
Into harms way without proper fighter jet escort?

Elementary.

No one knew what was going on, yet they took a huge risk with a known and easily identifiable military plane?

11. Because our government is in piss poor shape
And mistakes like this are one of the many reasons why.

Oh, gosh... never mind... I'll just sip on this Kool-Aid and not have a care in the world....

8. Why question this?
Because it doesn't make sense.

Yes, the plane should have been at the ready on 9/11, but shouldn't *, Darth, and Rummy been on it? What possible reason did it have to be flying at low altitude at low speed above the capital?

A sitting duck?

5. If it was launched after the hijacking alert, no problem.
If it took off and went on station prior to the attack, that's something else.

6. God forbid that our government has procured equipment
and implemented TTPs to ensure its continuity of operations in times of national crisis.

7. You guys all miss the damn point, if the investigation would have been worth a shit
than things like this plane being operational and in the area would have been mentioned and accounted for.

Nobody should be too happy with this continuity of government thing anyway, if THEY fuck up so bad the average persons going to die, I want THEM right here having fun with us.

Give the lying hairdoos some incentive.
