well it was, they even paid to have one side of the pentagon reinforced to withstand a missle attack. >>>?
The renovation program included the following improvements to the building:
Exterior walls reinforced with steel
Exterior walls backed with Kevlar
Blast-resistant windows installed
Fire sprinklers installed
Automatic fire doors installed
Building operations and control center created
The steel reinforcements to the walls consisted of tubular frames surrounding the window openings and attaching to the reinforced concrete floor slabs. Each windowed wall panel (between vertical concrete columns) was retrofitted with a piece consisting of two horizontal tubes welded to two vertical tubes running from the floor to the ceiling. 3
This illustration shows reinforcements added to the Pentagon's walls as seen from the inside. Reinforced concrete columns are shown in gray, and tubular steel reinforcements are pictured in red.
The reinforcements were to be sequentially applied to the five wedges of the Pentagon over time. Wedge One -- one of five sections of the Pentagon -- was the first to be retrofitted, and the upgrades to the exterior wall were complete by 9/11/01. Wedge Two was apparently yet to be retrofitted. The plane crashed into the building's exterior entirely within Wedge One.
Kevlar cloth was stretched between the steel columns to provide blast resistance to the short spans of brick wall. 4
Windows
The original windows were replaced with blast-resistant windows nearly two inches thick.

The first WTC bombing was, again, known very well ahead of time and even given the go-ahead and planned by the FBI and CIA. This is well-documented, and there are recordings from wire tapping that prove so. It was the first attempt in using Muslims as patsy's. This isn't just some nutty conspiracy, but fact.

Yeah but Bush said in one of his speeches that no one could have predicted they would fly planes into buildings when FEMA published that document in preparation of such an event beforehand. How can they draw up literature and print someothing about a scenario and then say they can't believe it would happen?
