Pentagon Strike
This sort of conspiracy fantasy is not only the province of the moonbat Left -- during the Clinton administration, righty claims that something other than suicide happened to Vince Foster were just as loopy. But that does not make it any less idiotic.

It was an interesting piece.
I of course noted the UK web address.
It would be interesting to note who is behind the making of it. That I think would shed alot of light onto the nature of the work.
As for the content, it makes me want to go back and research the whole incident. But I don't believe the missle attack BS. Otherwise you might as well conclude that the Shanksville plane was taken out by F-16's also.

Actually, I think that the F-16 shootdown was far, far more likely than the Pentagon being hit by a missle, or missiles. But since the later is such a small percentage, that doesn't mean much at all.

So... we have "film" of a smaller plane cruising barely above the ground, with no explanation of how a plane with such smaller mass and (apparently, since they ridicule the idea that the plane was going 500+ mph just before impact) going far slower than the 757, YET THAT PLANE LEFT NO WRECKAGE EITHER AND MADE THE SAME NEAT ROUND HOLES THEY SAY A PLANE COULD NOT HAVE MADE?
And it penetrated how many layers deep? Have you ever been to the Pentagon? It's solid. The damn place was on fire for weeks.
Then we have (to further confuse the issue) how many quotes from people who have, presumably, never heard a missile, saying it "sounded like a missile". Right - convinced me.
Then, in case the theory shotgun isn't fully loaded, we throw a few more idiotic theories out there... which one are they backing? "It was a bomb - I smelled cordite". Cordite??? C'mon, who is this schmuck? How do we know he knows what cordite smells like? We'll never know - his "source of expertise" is never identified.
A$$hats. I just informed my husband that a plane did NOT hit the Pentagon that day when he was right around the corner. Completely disregard the facts that 2 other planes hit the WTC and Flight 77 disappeared off the face of the earth WITH NO WRECKAGE - where is THAT plane?
I'm sure the families of those victims would like to know. Why would we believe the obvious and logical explanation?
I'm sorry, but I sat and watched the smoke rise out the window of my office for several hours before I found out my husband was alive. It disrupted my life (and his) completely for a good 4 months - I hardly saw him for weeks afterwards. And then it screwed up our lives for the next two years and looks quite likely to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. And we're the lucky ones - he's not even in the combat zone.
People like this are just plain malicious. In case you can't tell, I'm pissed.

Needless to say, making you pissed, Cass, is like juggling nitro. Entertaining, but ultimately scary.
Unfortunately, there will always be conspiracy theorists. The right sort of invented the genre.
Where's the 757 ? There is no plane in sight in the photos.
, atThis is a valued piece of information. There are many holes but it brings light onto a subject we were to blind to see in the moment. An aircraft can physicaly not punch holes through steel, and brick. Only a high powered explosive projectile. The lack of bodies, aircraft material, jet fuel scorching the earth, and the most compelling video relases. There is something brewing that well not come to light for many years. Yet do not be surprised if these so called conspiracy therasit are right for once!

"The lack of bodies, aircraft material, jet fuel scorching the earth, and the most compelling video relases."
The lack of bodies and aircraft material? They recovered a lot of bodies including parts of the crew, a lot of aircraft material inside the building, and some outside the building.
