4. Why do you not believe your government?
5. What does ‘OS’ MEAN?
6. DO you honestly and really think our beloved government would kill all those people, and if yes…why?
7. What happened to the passengers if the twin towers and the pentagon was all cgi or some holographic big time Steven Spielberg Illusion?
8. What knocked the streetlights down?
9. Hundreds of eyewitnesses say it was an airplane…not a missile or anything looking or pertaining to a missile.
10. Do you really think that the president or any other form of US government would have the galls to play with the pentagon and its families like that?
11. What’s to gain if the government was involved?
To me, the only conspiracy I see in all of the 911 events that happened was,‘ building 7’ and the last air plane that was shot down by our government, other then those 2,the rest are 100% conclusive that it did happen…PERIOD!

I'm not dismissing eyewitness accounts either, and I am in no way saying that nothing struck the Pentagon and it was just a bomb planted inside or something like that. Many eyewitnesses saw a plane strike the Pentagon, that's pretty cut and dry, but a plane traveling at a high velocity would only be visible for a few brief seconds, and considering that people in the area are used to seeing planes flying low all day everyday, I'm sure not too many of them took the time to thoroughly inspect the plane and see what model it was. There's the possibility that the plane was actually a drone painted to look like a 757 airplane, and since it happened so fast people see something that looks like a commercial airliner, and assume it's a commercial airliner. However with the credible aviation experts who saw the plane making its descent, I would think that they could tell a 757 apart from a drone painted to look like one, but since it happened so fast checking the model of airplane may have slipped their mind. If an aircraft was about to smash into the Pentagon, the first thing I would think definitely wouldn't be "I wonder what type of aircraft that is, maybe a 747? No the wingspan resembles more of a 757 model...".
And calling the pilot's successful flight path anything short of miraculous would be a huge understatement. This noob only had one or two flying lessons in a single engine airplane, how could that adequately prepare him to precisely conrol a 757 airplane? Even flying in a straight line without plummeting to the Earth is astounding for somebody with absolutely no jet engine flight experience. Add to that a circle, which isn't even remotely close to as simple as a U-turn in a car, and then maintaining leveled while only several feet off of the ground, and you either have the clutchest terrorist in the world, or a lie.
Also one last question, do you think it's just a huge coincidence that the plane happened to smash into the exact portion of the building which was undergoing renovations? The Pentagon is a huge building, I find the odds of that happenning by chance nearly unbelievable.

You may want to double check your facts on surveillance cameras... Most high end systems can be set to record at different fps. As a matter of fact, the system I am currently using can be set up to 30 fps. Please do not post about things you know nothing about. BTW, the system I'm using isn't high end. Pretty sure the Pentagon camera system can be set at a higher speed. Just my opinion.edit on 22-6-2011 by czlong07 because: checked my system capabilities

Yeah, I'm fully certified on the NICE camera systems, and I can attest to the fact that yes, indeed, cameras CAN be set to 30fps. Most people don't set them that high, due to RAID storage space. More frames equals more disk space taken.
Typical setup is trying to capture a perp walking or running by, or a car.
Not a plane going 500 MPH.
That's how most systems are set up, and yes I've set up the systems in use at several government buildings in a previous life, and they are set at 1 FPS. Reason was, they want 30 days of continued storage for just under 500 cameras. 30 FPS would have SKY ROCKETED the price, and government entities usually pick the cheapest system they can get by with.

You're right about the vultures still being here, but lately I've come to regard them as comical. They have only one speed, obviously not well educated, and certainly protected by the mods here. But, that's ok because their schtick is worn out. Reminds me of the one that says, 'It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to talk, and remove all doubt.'
The only thing they needed to know to pull off the attack was how to use was the automatic pilot and how to steer the plane.
I'm not a pilot so I don't know,
Commander Kolstad is especially critical of the account of American Airlines Flight 77 that allegedly crashed into the Pentagon. He says, "At the Pentagon, the pilot of the Boeing 757 did quite a feat of flying. I have 6,000 hours of flight time in Boeing 757's and 767's and I could not have flown it the way the flight path was described."
What the heck difference does that make? 184 people were still killed in the attack.

People should accept the truth.The airplane was simply LANDED into the building..with its gear up..There was no missile ..just an airplane

Any number of computer animations will not suffice, until I see the 80+ actual videos of the event from around the pentagon. Why will they not show these videos? If I remember right,They wont show the other videos because it was for security reasons . That is a load of horse pucky! With sooooo much contrivercy surounding this, what national security risk can the have, that is more important than the truth?
An actual plane may have hit the Pentagon (I dunno), but that does not negate the rest of the highly questionable events of that fateful day.

Loose Change is a good refresher to watch from time to time.
At 14:00 they address remnants of the alleged plane, the single engine, the diffuser case and the wheel hub.
At 18:50 they present the two different eye witness accounts, one of flight 77 and another of a small commuter plane or a missile...

The difference is that the pilot crashed into the portion of the Pentagon that was undergoing renovations at the time. According to the official flight path, he even turned around in the air, ensuring that he hit the spot of his choice, which out of the entire Pentagon perimeter, happened to be the one area undergoing renovations.

I cannot believe that you actually think that way! The tone of your posts radiate sarcasm, as if you are mocking somebody who has full faith in the government, but you're actually serious!
Our "beloved government" ( ) has perpretrated many false flag attacks in the past. Ever heard of the Gulf of Tonkin? We claimed that a vietnamese gunboat attacked one of our destroyers, and took that as an act of war which led us into Vietnam. However de-classified documents show that's a complete lie, so 58,000 American citizens as well as 1.5 million Vietnamese died because our government lied to get us in there.
Have you ever heard of Operation Northwoods? I'll answer that question myself, no you have not. Our "beloved government" planned to commit terrorist attacks in US cities, and blame them on Cuba to gain support for a war. This is not a wild conspiracy theory, this is a fact, backed up by de-classified government documents.
Al Queda, the big bad goons who our "beloved government" (I still cannot get over that statement) claims are responsible for 9/11, was trained by the CIA.
Still clinging to your beloved government? Well the CIA has admitted that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against it's democratically elected prime minister.
Our government is as corrupt as it gets, don't forget about the drug trafficking that the CIA was involved in too.
You are defending a government which openly commits terrorist attacks against its own citizens, and uses those actions to justify invading other countries and fighting wars. 9/11 is no different, what better to rally the American people against the Middle East than a terrorist attack on our own soil? That sounds A LOT like Operation Northwoods.
If you want to talk "delusional", do some research on just how corrupt our government is, look up those previous false flag attacks, watch a few documentaries while you're at it, then look yourself in the mirror and say "Our beloved government would never do such a thing".edit on 22-6-2011 by TupacShakur because: To edit my post
