#1 ...COL Tillman paints a word picture a little bit later in the story that will bring a catch to your throat: the sight of USAF fighters rolling in on Air Force One, the pilots saluting as they take up their escort positions.

#2 HMMMMM, HMMMMMM, well, iff the group of suicide operatives that carried out the 9-11 airliner attacks had seeming PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF AIR FORCE ONE = POTUS DUBYA'S FLIGHT ROUTE, why didn't they take out Dubya + Staff on the ground, or wid a MANPAD(S) AS THE PLANE WAS TAKING OFF OR LANDING.

Given the chaos in post-Soviet/USSR/Cold War Russia + its soon-to-be-ex-SSRS + WARSAW PACT BLOC [East Euros], I also have to wonder why the above same just didn't buy a black market light AAM(S) or MP Rockets, etc. that could also had easily taken down Dubya's plane???

Taken collectively, this Artic + above once again tells me that there were BIGGER STAKES AT PLAY THAN JUST DESTROYING THE WTC + OTHER TARGETS.

#3 That reminds me of my personal memories of 9/11, from here in Burbank, CA. After waking up and watching it all unfold on TV in horror and disbelief, the whole San Fernando Valley became eerily quiet. Suddenly there was no air traffic overhead, and the freeway traffic slowed down. I admit to feeling scared, wondering what was going on. How far was this going to go? An hour or so later, there was a sudden roar overhead, and I jumped up in fear. I ran outside and saw a pair of ANG F-16's side by side, circling the whole valley. I had tears running down my face. At that moment, it was such a relief to know that those guys were up there watching over us. I'll never forget that.
