Your quotes say NOTHING about when the administration knew what. How was the communication between the airline and the white house handled? When did the airline share what it knew. This seems like great hindsight to me. What an amazing ability you have to selectively quote things and create a revisionist history to achieve your own agenda.

So what you expected was for 1 man or at best a group of what 10(?) to take over every aspect of everything immediately? Seems to me the people in charge of their respective areas would be the ones to stat doing this, with some type of direction from their leadership. How quickly you forget that this was something totally out of the realm of any rational person's logic?

Typical assumption to achieve a personal agenda, typical.

A huge part of leadership is delegation and allowing those in charge to take care of their respective areas of expertise. What was/is the communication stream from an airline to the administration? Who knew what when and when was it relayed to the actual people you are criticizing?

Define an "attacking airliner." Who is going to make that assessment? How, When? based upon what information? Where are they flying? Over a city, a town hundreds or thousands of people below??? What a ridiculous statement, even for you. Since then we have had multiple incidents where tw has posted just the opposite of this, the plane from Canada is just one example.
