War Games building up to 9/11/2006?

On 9/11/2001 there were four to six war games going on which some say froze US response time to the hijacked aircraft.

It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.

Operation Northern Vigilance

Conducted from September 9-11, this exercise redeployed jets that normally patrolled the northeast sector to northern Canada and Alaska. It echoed a Russian exercise scheduled from September 10-14 in which long-range bombers were dispatched to their northern territory. 1
So the question is, how do you prepare without letting your guard down?

Should the Pentagon conduct any training operations in the next month considering news of liquid bomb plots and the like?

I guess this is like asking when should you train or perpare for a hurricane.

If not now, when?

I heard all that recently too. Made me wonder if/how the hijackers found out about the war games and planned their attacks at the same time to avoid detection for long enough to get the job done.

While that's possible, when you listen to the courtroom testimony of the FBI aent who arrested Zacharias Massasoui, who attempted to gain the interest in the USG's counter-terrorism agencies to no avail, you'll lean more toward general government incompetence.

Or the classic False Flag operation, you know they needed a new Pearl Harbor to execute their agenda.

Yes, they did write about that several years before Bush II took office.

Immersive and engaging simulation (some call "serious games"). It's what we do...

Some say Vietnam was a war game so we would not have to fight the Russians head on with nukes.

Vanishingly slim chance they were aware this would be going on, anything is possible though
