luckily, someone archived the speech here.

why would they try to hide this speech from the public?

Answer 1

Brilliant. I had not seen that before. Thanks.
"Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filled with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center."

Answer 2

Oh yes we really needed to make this up on 9/11. With the NY attacks seen by hundreds of thousands of people, the best thing for the government to do would be to.

1. Find another commercial plane
2. Kill off everyone on that plane so they don't talk.
3. Destroy/hide the plane (so it cant be found).
4. Shoot a missile at the Pentagon?
5. Keep all of the hundreds of Air traffic controllers and Military people involved in the operation cover up quiet for 5+ years.

Even if the government (or some other group) did it, wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to crash a plane into the Pentagon. They obviously had one that they had to "get rid of" so no-one talked.

Someone has been hiding in the tinfoil lined closet too long. The fact that the "alternate" explanation on 9/11 is so complex (and a missing very big airplane) shows that the most likely story is the official account.

If it was a government plot, don't you think that just one of the people approached to be involved in the action might have stood up and said that is crazy. If not before certainly after the fact.

Answer 3

Not exactly...

Rumsfeld doesn't say missile is what hit Pentagon. He says enemies have weapons, missiles to hit Pentagon. Read it carefully. "enemies with weapons and missile to damage this building" does not mean "missile have damaged this building."
He meant enemies have means to attack Pentagon.

Read entire interview here.
http://www.defenselink.mil/Transcripts/Transcript.aspx?TranscriptID=3845.

In that same interview you refer to above... Rumsfeld also says that he...

"Asked a person who'd seen it, and he told me that a plane had flown into it.
I had been aware of a plane going into the World Trade Center, and I saw people on the grass, and we just, we tried to put them in stretchers and then move them out across the grass towards the road and lifted them over a jersey wall so the people on that side could stick them into the ambulances. " (Dondald Rumsfeld)

Now, why in the hec would he ask a person what hit Pentagon if he knows it is missile? He is told that a plane had struck Pentagon by a person. But why doesn't he make immediate correction if that is not true?

He also says he is aware of planes hitting WTC. Why didnt you mention this in your little claim? Or you just didn't read entire interview. And you also can't distinguish present and past tense.



If I say "I have a shot gun to shoot a bird" that is not same as "I have shot the bird yesterday."

So, you're saying they planned all that and kept thousands of mouths shut, but Sec of Def go on TV and tell about it? Secret plan they worked so hard to keep cover? Either Rumsfeld is extreme idiot or your claim is. And you don't like to read, for some reason, entire interview.

Answer 4

Why don't all the crackpot conspiracy theorists get off their lazy butts and actually do some research for once?

If it was a missle that hit the Pentagon, and not flight 77, what happened to that aircraft and all the passengers on board?

It shouldn't be that hard to get concrete information. The passenger manifest must be written somewhere, and one could find out if those people indeed died on that day.

Answer 5

The plane and the missile were one and the same object. If you want a full accounting of what happened I am recommending two books I found fascinating.

Answer 6

Because a plane flying like that has the physical impact of a missle. That was the idea of the 9/11 attacks was to turn those planes into missles.

Answer 7

Could it actually be a rare moment of truth from the Bush administration? I didn't see any footage of a plane hitting the Pentagon, and the damage didn't seem to have any plane-like fragments. Where are the wings? Did the plane totally disintegrate?

Answer 8

because there is noway that a plane hit the pentagon.

Answer 9

Another conpiracy site. How original!

Answer 10

Your referring to te so called great conspiracy, well te only thing to say is that you and others who believe that need to be insitiutionalized.
