There are a number of confused reports coming in. The Pentagon crash apparently was closer than originally reported, which is more what I thought would turn out to be the case. The TV report is that the car bomb at the State Department was a false report. Apparently the Air Force is flying air cover over our nation's capital.
Of course the intelligence community is busy evacuating their buildings so it can't be reached. How they're going to do their jobs is another mystery.
One thing's for sure, though. No matter what the gov response is, it will be wrong. There's no "right" thing for them to do, other than clean up. Politics will demand they take retribution on some poor scapegoat. They'll decimate some small country they don't like anyway, such as Iraq or Afghanistan, then learn, a decade later that it was a band of French terrorists ... from the Green party, or some such. They'll be afraid to admit it then.
