Why the Pentagon?

No, Rumsfeld said it himself, in the document I linked above. If you are unable to keep track of something it is surely, by definition, lost.

"The technology revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector, but not ours, not fully, not yet. We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain. Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible."

No one said he didnt, but he never said the money was missing, and it was announced well before that as well.

Wrong, it was never reported missing, and the announcement was a year before 9/11

Why do people continue to post such nonsense?

Not just the pentagon, the twin towers also.

Plato, a Pythagorean, wrote in the Timaeus that Altantis lay beyond the pillars of Heracles.

The Pentagon contains within it, and can be used to create, a Pentagram. The Pentagram is the symbol of the Pythagoreans. Five is also said to be symbolic of water.

the pilots were very raw and needed targets they could see easily and recognize and were symbols of american culture and power

like the pentagon

Flight 93 was not headed to the whitehouse. 93 impacted exactly where it was supposed to.

IF the pilots were so raw, as you claim, then they certainly would not have taken such a low flight path to fly into the pentagon. As you say, they would want a target they could easily see, so their angle of attack would be much higher.

Four planes, four odd-numbered flights, an ordered sequences. A four-fold path.

No where does it mention that any money was missing.... and by Feb 2002 more than 2/3rd of that had been reconciled.

There was no secret that money could not be properly accounted for, it was published many times before 9/11. But conspiracy theorists ignore all those announcements as they destroy their silly conspiracy theories!

with all the thought , time, and money put into the attacks of 9-11, why would they have hit the pentagon when the whitehouse just seems like an easier, and more appealing target .

it would have been the easiest building to find in washington dc, and maybe the biggest target to hit in all of america if you want to make a statement.

see why it would have been the easiest to find in an airplane?

If you think that George Bush was in on it and CIA is pulling the shoots on Al quida:I think George Bush did not want to have to redeciorate again and he needed his house to be as it was so they choose the pentagon instead.

reply to post by Boone 870

OBL wanted to hit the White House, the others thought it would be too difficult.

If OBL really wanted to take out the white house he didn't need to use a plane. He could have just waited for his brother to make one of his many trips to visit George and just use a car bomb. Don't forget the Bush's and Laden's were so close that Jr called Osamas brother uncle.

In accounting if you cannot account for something then it is missing.

The white house was not hit because it would have been too badly damaged, and the government didn't want to destroy it. So they fired a missile at the Pentagons newly rebuilt most strengthened side to test their work. Then they told us it was the aircraft. There was no way the government would destroy the white house. Too much inconvenience for themselves.

Best answer yet. And so true.

No you are wrong it was just a few days before.... How did a airplane penetrate 4 6ft reinforced concrete walls?

So what 6 ft thicks walls are you referring to.....?

The walls of the Pentagon were ordinary brick, the exterior E Ring wall had a facade of limestone over it

The extensive use of reinforced concrete and non-reinforced masonry was one concession. Certainly the threat of any kind of terrorist attack on the building was far from the thoughts of the original designers. As a result, the Pentagon was constructed with a thin limestone facade over a brick infill between reinforced concrete floors, structurally supported by a reinforced concrete beam and column frame. Enough to protect from the elements but not from the potential forces of significant blast events.

Another thing conspiracy types fail to understand is that there are no interior walls on the 2 lowest floors of
the Pentagon

This argument is based on a misunderstanding of the Pentagon's design. In fact, the light wells between the C- and D-ring and D- and E-ring are only three stories deep. The first and second stories span the distance between the Pentagon's facade and the punctured C-ring wall, which faces a ground-level courtyard. There are no masonry walls in this space, only load-bearing columns. Thus it would be possible for an aircraft part that breached the facade to travel through this area on the ground floor, miss the columns, and puncture the C-ring wall without having encountering anything more than unsubstantial gypsum walls and furniture in-between.

Once penetrating the exterior (E Ring) wall are no substanial walls until hit the C Ring wall on the
interior (A-E Drive) roadway

Why if supposed to impact in Shanksville were the hijackers dialing in the VOR radio beacon at Regan National
airport......?

And yet this flimsy building was enough to completely disintegrate an entire aircraft and two 6 tone engines to the point that nothing was left of them? Riiiight! And there was no damage to the walls on either side of this whole, like where did the wings hit? Not even a broken pane of glass? Riiiiight!!

First of all, the area of the pentagon hit had records on where billions of dollars of missing money was spent. Also, a man who worked in that office was on the plane. Wtf?

Ah, the plane in pa was clearly headed to building 7

You dont need vor to fly a plane, just follow the turnpike. Oh and they werent very far from the turnpike.

What makes you think nothing was left of them? did you even bother to look at the link to the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui?

Not even a broken pane of glass?

then they worked as designed - each window unit weighed 1,600lbs....

And you think that is enough to stop a 6 tone engine traveling at 500 mph? Riiiight!! An engine which was totally destroyed to the point there was nothing left of it on site? Riiiight!!!! That is what we are supposed to believe. Watch the videos, read the reports. Have fun!

So you still have not bothered to look at the pictures of the engines recovered at the Pentagon..

This is typical of people who believe a conspiracy theory about 9/11, they steadfastly refuse to look at any evidence that will destroy their silly conspiracy theory!

Only 1 is said to have been found but it was a 737 engine, not a 767 engine, so was obviously planted. Even if you believe it was from the 767, THERE WAS ONLY 1. Where did the other go?

You will believe what you want to. Have fun, there is no point in either of us wasting any more time on this conversation. There is so much proof all around you would have to be crazy not to believe "the crazy conspiracy people". Just keep looking. That is all I ask. Keep looking and looking and looking.

Peace brother. I'm off.
