That is just another question the "truthers" are unable to answer -

except one of the conspiracy theories is the planes were remote controlled....

Yup, that is one theory. Very good. Want a star for that?
One's theory does not discount my answer, sorry. It does not work that way. Can you prove they had a remote controlled plane ready and capable of that task?

My question is, why, if they wanted to make it look like a 757 hit the wall, and they are so bloody good at conspiracies and hiding all the supposed passengers and all the preparations, why didn't they just crash the 757 into the Pentagon? If they wanted it to look like a 757 hit the Pentagon, why didn't they just hit it with a 757? What is so hard about that?

The thing I find fascinating is just how powerful the aversion to uncomfortable truth really is in some people. So-called "truthers" are merely people who have overcome their own aversion to such things and would rather know the ugly truth than continue to believe a comfortable lie.

And what would have happened if the cruise missile failed and did not hit such a solid target, or someone filmed it - it would bring down the whole conspiracy theory!
No, simple excuse, CM was fired to protect the Pentagon from aircraft "X".
Give these people enough intelligence to create plan "B"

Here' the deal people.
For the sake of argument, lets assume that:
- the Gummint is evil - not too hard
- the Gummint wants to kill a lot of people to get them mad the guys with all the oil
- so they decide to bomb the Pentagon with a cruise missle
- But they want to make it look like a hijacked 757
- So they hijack a plane and ditch it in the ocean after sequestering all the passengers on an island in the Pacific
- then they hit the Pentagon with the cruize missle
- then they scatter debris from a 757 all over the the Pentagon
- then they lie to everyone, tell them the towel heads did it, and march off to war
Fine. At least for the sake of argument.
My question is, why, if they wanted to make it look like a 757 hit the wall, and they are so bloody good at conspiracies and hiding all the supposed passengers and all the preparations, why didn't they just crash the 757 into the Pentagon? If they wanted it to look like a 757 hit the Pentagon, why didn't they just hit it with a 757? What is so hard about that?
The first rule of lying is: tell the truth, that way you are less likely to get caught out later.

Because it is extremely difficult (if near impossible) for a high lift wing to fly that close to the ground at high speeds. vis.
quote
The phenomenon of wing in ground effect is caused by the ground interrupting the wingtip vortices and downwash behind the wing. When a wing is flown very close to the ground, wingtip vortices are unable to form effectively due to the obstruction of the ground. The result is lower induced drag, which increases the speed and lift of the aircraft while it is experiencing the ground effect.
