Your point number two overestimates the North American air defense system in 2001 (and today, frankly) by several orders of magnitude. There are no missile batteries set up around the Pentagon or anywhere in the continental US. Even when there were (we're talking the 1960s), they weren't designed to stop civil aircraft from crashing into buildings, they were designed to fight Soviet bomber formations.

"Intercepted" is not the same thing as shot down. Those fighters would've failed to make radio contact with the planes and then watched more or less helplessly as they rammed into the towers. As it was, the only fighters that even managed to take off that day, in a failed attempt to intercept United 93, were unarmed and their pilots had agreed they would have to ram the airliner out of the sky. Sean McCarthy is one of the most prominent reasons I don't trust anyone who writes their name with a $ instead of an S and is not a rap artist or a sex worker.
