It would be nice if you had some actual evidence for all these threads you are putting up instead of just your opinion.
You've been caught out again, pinch, demanding evidence from others while not supplying evidence for your own claims.
A few months ago, I asked you to supply evidence for your claim that the FBI had all of the serial numbers to the parts of the alleged airplanes.
You never showed any evidence or tried to prove the claim. If it's just your opinion, that's fine. That means you have to respect SPreston's opinion also.

Now, tezz, just WHEN are you going to support your claim that AA77 did something other than hit the Pentagon?

Isn't it interesting that I have never claimed that the "security camera video shows any aircraft hitting the Pentagon." Just so we're clear about that, I want you to show everyone here any post I have made on any forum in which I have said that the security camera video shows anything hitting the Pentagon.
If you can't do that, then you will issue a public retraction right here, correct? What's that, you can't? C'mon, be a sport, just try.
In fact, as we rational people have said for years, one cannot conclude by looking at the security camera video that anything hit the Pentagon.

I don't know what happened at the Pentagon. I don't make claims about what happened at the Pentagon. There is no burden of proof upon me to show anything about the Pentagon. That's your load to bear, as you believe the official government story.
However, today you have steadfastly refused to claim that the security camera images show Flight AA77 hitting the Pentagon. Why would you state that and go against the government script? The government claims that those images show Flight AA77 hitting the Pentagon... yet you're not willing to endorse that.
You've really contradicted yourself in a marvellous way today, jthomas.
Videos Released Of Plane Crashing Into Pentagon
By Jerry Markon
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
The split-second image of the hijacked airplane slamming into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, filled computer screens around the nation yesterday as the Defense Department for the first time officially released two videos of the terrorist attack.
Unlike the powerful images of the hijacked planes crashing into the World Trade Center in New York -- played again and again on television -- the specter of American Airlines Flight 77 is fleeting.
In one of the videos, shot from a security camera near the Pentagon parking lot, a police car can be seen passing by; then the plane shoots across the screen from the right, a silver speck low to the ground. Far more clear are the orange fireball and thick, black smoke that rises from the damaged structure immediately afterward. Even those images are not completely new.
A portion of the videos was leaked to television networks and repeatedly aired several years ago, and both were played at the recent death penalty trial of al-Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.
Yet yesterday's official unveiling aroused such interest that the videos crashed the Web site of Judicial Watch, the Washington-based public interest group that obtained them from the Pentagon, and slowed the Pentagon's own site, officials said.

Judicial Watch first sought the videos of the Pentagon strike in a request under the Freedom of Information Act in December 2004 and then in a lawsuit filed this year. The Defense Department initially refused to release the tapes at the request of the Justice Department because they were being used in the government's case against Moussaoui.
The videos were shown at Moussaoui's trial on a day in which prosecutors focused on the horror of the Pentagon attack.
After Moussaoui was sentenced to life in prison this month, the government decided the videos could be released, said Cheryl Irwin, a Pentagon spokeswoman. "This is the result of a Freedom of Information request from Judicial Watch,'' she said.
