Has anyone ever studied the process of "scrambling" fighters? I worked with a forward air controller that called in air strikes for a living, and we hunted a lot together years ago. If you consider the mechanical, electronical, channel of authority, and logistics then even 2 hours is not bad time. Even more in a non-combat/non-threat zone. True, the "Coast to Coast" stories are entertaining but that all it is, entertainment. I find it amazing we have all this "valuable information" but no resources to back-review against. At this point in time, it is internet opinion, nothing more than reader interpretation of words, etc. And as magooch said, if you have something solid and can be verified as authentic then please present it.....Clinton could not hide an affair with an intern, but Bush can hide 9-11 from the public? I say, Negative!!!
