Take a look at General Richard Myer's testimony during his 9-14-2001 chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmation hearings.

General Myer's was acting chairman, JCS on 9-11 as then-chairman General Shelton was apparently abroad.

This is the guy whose Air Force couldn't get one plane aloft in time to stop the attacks on the WTC and Pentagon. This failure occured despite the fact that Andrews AFB, just 5 miles from the Pentagon, hosted two squadrons of fighters (F-16s and F-18s) on that fateful day, and there was at least 40 minutes warning...

Yea sure, all you little hens and chickens, just go on clucking and laying eggs, the fox is on duty.
