I am not disputing the timeline. You missed the thrust of my post (I think). The point I was making was that such detection and protection in domestic airspace was not NORAD's mission on 9/11. Post 9/11, their mission has been expanded to include such, but this was not the case on 9/11.
Sox, you wanna talk about how this WHOLE thing could have been avoided if Clinton had accepted bin Laden on the FIVE separate occasions he was offered?
