What would you have done?

Why do you ask questions instead of answering them? You aren't a politician. Why weren't fighter pilots scrambled to NYC when a commuter plane went through a skyscraper?

What would I have done? Asked if fighter pilots were en route.

I find it interesting that this simple observation has been so totally missed and ignored by the public in general and conservatives on this website.
