My assertion was SIMPLY that SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld announced a situation concerning an unaccounted-for sum of 2.3 trillion dollars of defense spending ONE DAY PRIOR to 9-11. You are trying to create drama and confusion around this simple fact. It is NOT working despite your efforts. Your carbonated drinks are sure to be flat.

No, you are the one that is trying to create a "story" involving what is pretty much a non-issue when it comes to the events of 9/11. Not me. I am pointing out that the truth movement use Rumsfeld's speech as some sort of proof that the attack on the Pentagon was an inside job.

Its a complete non-issue in regards to 9/11/01. What does it take for you to get it through your head that it was a problem known about in 1999? That it had been an ongoing issue throughout 2000? That Rumsfeld was asked about it at his confirmation hearings in Jan 2001? That he was discussing it with the media throughout the summer of 2001? That, even after the events of 9/11/2001, they were STILL working on resolving it? That, in the summer of 2003, they had revamped and networked enough of the computer systems that they had recovered and reconciled the majority of the records?

For people like you to continue to claim that the 2.3 trillion in reconciliation entries made without adequate documentation (because thats what the issue was) had ANYTHING to do with the events on 9/11/01 is dishonest at best

Associated Press reported on it in 2000. The media touched on it in January 2001. The media touched on it over the summer of 2001.
You act as if Rumsfeld's speech was the first time anyone knew about the problem and you are dead wrong. Then you bring up the "it hit where the accountants work" There are offices that deal with accounting all over the building. You would have to drop a nuke on top of it to kill all of the accounting people and destroy all the records.
Again, its a 9/11 non-issue, and very much an age old Pentagon issue.

You havent debunked anything, you just keep parroting falsehoods. Have a joy joy day.
There are other items as well, including a proper amount of wreckage for a 757 jet liner. Further, a 757 should not have penetrated through steel reinforced support columns and numerous walls as a bunker-buster would have. Another fact is that aeronautical physics makes flying a 757 just feet off the ground (which has little to no damage) across that lawn nearly impossible, yet a poorly trained pilot was able to accomplish this. Finally, all surveillance footage was confiscated and the only one released shows absolutely NO 757. The reason that the footage won't be released is because the footage reveals what really hit the Pentagon, and it was not a 757.

Proper amount of wreckage...there was.
Should not have penetrated....thank GOD they had revamped that section, or else it would have done a lot more damage to the Pentagon.
Aeronautical physics makes flying a 757 just feet off the ground nearly impossible....umm, yeah...............again, not true.
Only one released.. Um, no, I know of at least two possibly three that were released...you know, the only ones that conceivably could have shown what happened......but not in the right angle or not actual motion cameras so, no , they didnt show much.Again, what were these "facts" you were speaking of???

At this point, it's worthless to even quote you, as you have descended into a weird kind of elaborate screenplay complete with fabricated dialogue. You KNOW that the educated guess is correct. I will leave it at that.
As far as everything else goes, we still have the FACTS:
1. September 10th, 2001, SECDEF Rumsfeld announces that 2.3 trillion dollars is unaccounted-for in defense (Pentago) spending.
2. September 11th, 2001, a section of the Pentagon is destroyed, killing many people; these people were accountants and bookkeepers, these records (soft and hard) were of budgets and Pentagon/DoD spending.
3. All footage of alleged impact was confiscated. Never released. Still classified to this day, except for one released bit which shows absolutely NOTHING to prove what actually hit the Pentagon.
4. The OS states that an aluminum jet-liner (757) penetrated deep into the Pentagon's 5 rings constructed of steel and concrete.
5. A visually demonstrated LACK OF 757 WRECKAGE is painfully apparent.

Aeronautical physics DOES make flying a 757 just feet off the ground nearly impossible ...

That's just brilliant.
Riddle me this: how do they land planes?

Aluminum jets should not penetrate that far into a reinforced building with steel-reinforced concrete support columns, let alone steel and concrete walls.
A price for the 50-story, 1.5 million square foot building
on Eighth Avenue and 49th Street was not disclosed. The
building, whose tenants include law firm Cravath, Swaine &
Moore, is about half empty.
When Macklowe purchased the building, the mortgage was more
than $800 million. But since then, experts have estimated that
values may have fallen by 30 percent. The lack of sales has made
valuing buildings a fuzzy art.

You expect lamp posts to stop an airliner? Seriously?
