Remember Star Wars? Do you remember the Pentagon's
Strategic Defense Initiative to build a massive missile
defense system that raised so much controversy during
the Reagan and first Bush years?
130 billion of our tax dollars were poured into
developing that system. It was designed to detect and
intercept missiles fired from an unknown destination
traveling at well over 10 times the speed of a
commercial airliner, and to shoot them down in 15
minutes or less, before they reached their US targets.
According the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) website, "a
defensive system may need to hit a warhead smaller than
an oil drum that is traveling above the atmosphere at
speeds greater than 13,000 miles per hour." The
CBO report states that missile defense and intercept
systems must take down an ICBM in a matter of minutes or
it is all over.
You may remember that before 9/11, there were a number
of tests of the Pentagon's missile defense systems. Some
tests failed, while others succeeded. But there is an
important question here. If these sophisticated
military systems were designed to detect missiles fired
from unknown locations at over 13,000 mph and shoot them
down in mere minutes, why on 9/11 could they not detect
any one of the four large airliners traveling at a mere
600 mph, especially when two of them were known to be
lost for over 40 minutes before they crashed?
This question applies especially to Flight 77, which
crashed into the Pentagon. The first plane hijacking on
9/11 was reported at about 8:20 AM (see
NY Times article), well over an hour before
Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:38. According
to the Times article, Flight 77 was reported
lost at 8:56 A.M., 42 minutes before it crashed. Even if
the FAA radar systems completely failed and FAA
officials failed to alert the military, all military
leaders certainly knew within minutes that the World
Trade Center had been hit at 8:46. By 9:03, when the
second tower was hit, they certainly knew there were big
problems.
How is it possible that the Pentagon's highly
touted missile detections systems could not locate
Flight 77 in the 42 minutes it was known to be lost
before it crashed into the heart of the defense system
of the U.S.? The missile detection systems did
not depend on FAA radar and were programmed to pick up
any unaccounted for objects and raise alarms
immediately, as mentioned on the CBO website.
Here's another related question. Why was the Pentagon's
billion-dollar missile defense system such a hot topic
in the media before 9/11, yet we've heard almost nothing
about it since? Could it be that there are elements in
the government and military who don't want people to
think about questions like those asked here? And an even
bigger question is why isn't our media asking these
questions and more?
Why is it that the 9/11 Commission budget was
far less than the budget allotted to the Challenger
space shuttle disaster or even the Monica Lewinsky
affair? The 9/11 commission was originally
allotted only $3 million. Eventually, after much
begging and haggling, the commission was given $15
million. Yet a
CNN article lists the cost of the Lewinsky
investigation at $30 million. A
Los Angeles Times article states the cost
of the Columbia space shuttle disaster investigation was
$175 million.
How could 9/11 – the greatest disaster in American
history – be given such a small budget for
investigation? Why didn't the Pentagon want to
aggressively investigate the greatest failure ever in
U.S. defenses? And why did both the president (see
CNN article) and vice-president (see
Newsweek article) initially oppose any
investigation at all?
Why aren't we, the public, asking these questions and
demanding answers? It's not too late. Let us take action
now and seek answers to these vital questions. For
