What defenses are you speaking of. We do not have sam batteries around our cities (they were taken out in the mid 60s) We don't have alert fighters standing by at a moments notice (discontinued at the end of the Cold war) Our Air defense radars look outward not in. Nothing was out of place, we had gotten a warning of this in 96 and the president at that time discounted it.

We did not see it coming. Give the enemy some credit for researching us, finding vunerabilties, and exploiting them.
Because the world sees us as the world cop, our defenses were concentrated elsewhere. Also we did not think anyone would do anything like that in the mainland US. I mean the Japanese only attacked us at the edges in Hawaii, never the mainland. The last mainland foreign attack was in 1814!!!
I see where you are getting at and I quote my dad, "Conspiracy theories are the hob-goblins of the stupid people!!"

Here ya go an excellent website: from the experts-Architects and Engineers, that confirm demolition, not collapse from plane impacts.
There was a defense department however it was under the control of Dick Cheney who used it to attack the American people. There was a NORAD, that was used to attack the american people. 9-11-01 (despite the obvious propaganda of hate for Islam) is really all about the strange people who were in charge of of our forces here in America.
A good investigative website that you will want to book mark. I consider this website the authority on the subject.

What went wrong is that we have so many layers of government that no one was empowered to just act. Everyone had to kick it upstairs to let someone else decide, and that takes a lot of time. When it finally got to Bush, he just sat there and stared into space for 7 minutes.

Wrong. Everything was in place and security was in place, as it always is.
The problem is they were set to face conventional threats by things outside the country, as has been the norm for decades.

America isn't use to being the victim.
We never expected it, and yet it happened.
And can you imagine that the hostages were held up with box cutters?
BOX CUTTERS?!!!!!
What went wrong was that we weren't prepared for something so simple to go so terribly wrong. And that's why now we have all these security precautions.

Terrorism only used to happen overseas. We were still in cold war defense mode.

ya know, i'm not one of the crazies spouting conspiracy theories, but the more and more i find out i think our government did it. I know i'm gonna get a million thumbs down, but i really think so now. did you know that there were more holds on the stock market on September 10 than almost ever?? someone knew something that the american public wasnt aware of. there has been so much scandal and so many people trying to cover things up, i totally wouldnt put it past this administration. they have had an agenda since the first day. baby bush used this as an excuse to invade Iraq... a country that DID NOT EVEN ATTACK US!!!
