and another point. wouldnt it be safe to assume after the first slip-up the government wouldve been on red-flag status over what kind of carefully selected language and descriptions they would use concerning 9/11?
call me crazy i guess.

And yes.. it WAS perfectly conducted, if the best you can go on is light poles would have flown farther, "pull out" means it was demolition, and someone saying missile could ONLY mean they are apparently brilliant enough to pull this off.. but STUPID enough to blurt this out to the public. Hmm.. he couldn't possibly be talking about using planes as missiles.. because it doesn't fit in with your theories.

You got that right. Laughing at you because of of your creative imaginations. One of the definitions: "Mis"sile\, n. [L. missile.] A weapon thrown or projected or intended to be projcted (sic), as a lance, an arrow, or a bullet."
Read that again - "a weapon...projected" A 90 ton airliner used as a weapon on an attack against a building is indeed, a missile. A manned-missile, in this case. A car can be a weapon, depending on how it is used. A hammer can be a weapon. A pencil can be a weapon. An airliner can be a weapon.
So yes, we are ALL laughing at you and will continue to do so on a regular basis.

I think it's amusing people keep saying things like it would be impossible for a "terrorist in a cave" to plan these attacks. He lived in a cave entirely? Are you suggesting he was a caveman with no resources? Not even a phone? Or was he a millionaire, with more resources and terrorist training bases than any other terrorist cell on the planet? Hmmm... I think it's the latter.
I think perhaps you should read up further on the capabilities of this terrorist before you dismiss his ability to conduct attacks on a unsuspecting country with laughable defenses.
After the attacks, sure, he is in hiding. After the attacks he ADMITTED to planning. But prior, he had unlimited $$$ and resources to get the job done.
As far as Operation Northwood or any other operation goes, that's misdirection on your part to try and prove this was a coverup. It proves NOTHING other than what people will TRY to plan. You are suggesting here, that they managed to carry it off successfully.
They managed to plant HUNDREDS (perhaps thousands) of miles of demolition cables... and no one noticed.
Plant wreckage.. and people stupidly didn't see it. Managed to keep hundreds or thousands silent after the fact. Dispose of an entire plane and the passengers, apparently willing to commit cold-blooded murder on many fronts, to try and justify a war. Hoodwinked people into thinking a missile or other plane was a jet.
And if a single WTC building had been flown into and collapsed, it would STILL be 9/11. It would still be a vivid statement. Heck.. why not just blow up the stock exchange, since supposedly they were trying to do in our economy?
And yes.. it WAS perfectly conducted, if the best you can go on is light poles would have flown farther, "pull out" means it was demolition, and someone saying missile could ONLY mean they are apparently brilliant enough to pull this off.. but STUPID enough to blurt this out to the public.

definition of missile:
source oxford online dictionary:
missile
• noun
1 an object which is forcibly propelled at a target.
2 a weapon that is self-propelled or directed by remote control, carrying conventional or nuclear explosive.
"an object which is forcibly propelled at a target."
proof that an aeroplane can be used as a missile. some earlier missiles before the design of the crusiform shape liked very much like UAV's with a charge on them.
also in saying that anything from throwing a rock to a dart is classified as a missile.
1. A plane is not "forcibly propelled" unless it gets it's momentum solely from a device such as the catapult used to launch fighters on a carrier. That actually does not happen anywhere as only planes getting their momentum from outside sources are gliders (Or whatever they're called... ). Forcibly propelled implies an outside source providing the initial momentum. Hence the explanations you posted explicitly state different propulsion methods (self-propelled vs. forcibly propelled).
2. A plane is not a "weapon" except in a broad sense. A plane (fighter) can carry weapons. Just as a man can be considered a weapon, but usually is NOT referred to as such. A man can carry weapons. Same difference.
So, no, neither fits the case at hand.

It could just as well have been a bomb. Nothing funny about being attack by any missile thrown.
