NORAD clueless....I don't buy it, only one camera showing something hit the pentagon...., 3 steel buildings collapsing at almost freefall speed, 2 wars one for oil and one for heroin/natural gas, Cheney giving an order to an aid regaurding the object heading toward the pentagon. Well something just looks fishy here so I would have to say,
YES.
And this is coming of a former supporter of the war on terrorism and Bush.

Yes - the evidence is staggering.

This is exactly why I will sound out a resounding "no". There is no real evidence at all, actually. It's all biased and untested; when was the last time two other buildings this size were hit with air-liners? It's pretty damn scary when research by lunatics like Jones is considered staggering evidence.
Excepting the three 9-11 collapses, no fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel framed high-rise building to collapse. Following are examples of high-rise fires that were far more severe than those in WTC 1 and 2, and Building 7. In these precedents, the fires consumed multiple floors, produced extensive window breakage, exhibited large areas of emergent flames, and went on for several hours. The fires in the WTC towers did none of these things.
Since the jet fuel fire was brief, and the building still stood, we know that the composite floor slab survived and continued to function as designed (until the buildings were demolished one or two hours later). After the jet fuel fire was over, burning desks, books, plastic, carpets, etc, contributed to the fire. So now we have a typical office fire. The fact that the trusses received some advanced heating will be of little consequence. After some minutes the fires would have been indistinguishable from a typical office fire, and we know that the truss-slab combination will survive such fires, because they did so in the 1975.

The WTC buildings have been the only steel buildings to collapse from fire and stuctrual damge in the last 30 years in the US.

Well, I guess the results speak for themselves.

Frankly, the United States Government under B43 is incapable of pulling off such a complicated mission. Heck, it was just 4 years ago the first day of this month that our Maximum Leader proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln after flying in all decked out in a custom fitted flying suit which probably cost taxpayers $3,000 or $4,000. I suppose the Alabama Air National Guard confiscated his old flying suit when he was taken off flying status? For failing a required physical? Snorting coke again? Hmm?

There's plenty of interesting questions, but no concrete evidence.
I'm willing to change my opinion should any evidence come to surface.

I'm not knocking you, but it just doesn't look like you've spent a lot of time with the subject. On the other hand, maybe I don't understand what you mean by "concrete evidence." There's no concrete evidence of ufos (in the form of an actual vehicle available to public scrutiny), but if you see one, you don't need it. Likewise, I saw the towers fall at freefall speed defying physics. I saw Building 7 fall the same way without an airplane impacting it.
No offense, but in my mind, IF--I say IF--you're familiar with the countless perplexities in the government's version and you vote "no," you appear less a judicious skeptic and more someone who simply can't adequately assemble assorted facts and come to a logical assessment. As I mentioned in a previous post, familiarity with PNAC and the Bush administration's agenda sets the motive, and everything falls into place from there.
