Your accusations are uncalled for and completely unsupported.
Why don't you quote us or Scott Cook to prove your point?
I'll tell you why....because you are WRONG.
Apparently, Scott Cook's web site is no longer available, so I will quote Aldo quoting him.
I had just scanned the sky and the scene one more time, and turned to Ray. We were talking about the need for a swift response to this attack (we were already talking about bin Laden) when Ray leapt to one side, his face instantly animated beyond anything I had ever seen.
"They just hit the Pentagon!"
I turned. Rising up from the right center of the Pentagon’s mass was a gigantic spherical orange mass, the flames oddly bright and vivid in the clear direct sunlight. I stepped to the window, and instinctively put my hand to the glass. Verle and Ray were quickly on either side of me. A few seconds after the explosion, the glass rattled and a dull boom shook the room. Link
He was using the Tidal Basin as a reference point from his perspective. I know this is a point that you will never concede because it's the only way you can turn Cook's own account against and use it as proof that he was lying.
...the (C-130) reached the Pentagon at a low altitude and made a sharp left turn, passing just north of the plume, and headed straight for the White House.
All the while, I was sort of talking at it: "Who the hell are you? Where are you going? You’re not headed for downtown!" Ray and Verle watched it with me, and I was convinced it was another attack. But right over the tidal basin, at an altitude of less than 1000 feet, it made another sharp left turn to the north and climbed rapidly. Soon it was gone, leaving only the thin black trail.
As we watched the black plume gather strength, less than a minute after the explosion, we saw an odd sight that no one else has yet commented on. Directly in back of the plume, which would place it almost due west from our office, a four-engine propeller plane, which Ray later said resembled a C-130, started a steep decent towards the Pentagon. It was coming from an odd direction (planes don’t go east-west in the area), and it was descending at a much steeper angle than most aircraft. Trailing a thin, diffuse black trail from its engines, the plane reached the Pentagon at a low altitude and made a sharp left turn, passing just north of the plume, and headed straight for the White House."Directly in back of the plume."

Below is a line drawn from Scott Cook's location to a point where the C-130 was according to the RADES data.
Notice where the line crosses the Pentagon. Directly behind the smoke plume.
The fact is that it would have been difficult for him to see the RADES data C-130 bank with any detail from from his location way across the river.
Craig, I'm not trying to be derogatory, but do you have bad vision?
The distance between Scott Cook's location and the western side of the Pentagon is less than 2 miles. I could see fighters turning from left base to final at Andrews from the Sheraton Hotel, nearly 11 miles away.
