If I were to put on my conspiracy helmet, I would suggest that the pentagon was hit by a scrambled fighter jet, to rouse regular military personnel into a vengeance mode. It also gave the powers that be more justification, to move forward with WAR.
The Towers are hit with passenger styled planes, but it would further the "government agenda" by making it look like the Terrorists were going after military, and leadership targets.
Phew, conspiracy helmet off, we now resume your normal programming,
