Why the Pentagon?

So I get the whole controlled demo of both of the WTC buildings and WTC 7, I believe in that theory and I support it. I believe that it was a false-flag attack but what I've been struggling to understand is this, why the Pentagon?
I was just watching a show on NatGeo and it has to do with the attacks on 9/11 in WDC. Why would the government attack the Pentagon when it may be a big part of the NWO?
I mean it's the HQ of the Department of Defense, the offices for the army and the navy are there. Why would the government attack a vital building like that?
Theories anyone?

Hey Solo - been awhile since I've looked into it, but I think I remember reading that the offices that were hit contained only drives with vital information on some issues?

Hopefully am not getting memories crossed, but I believe there was something of strategic value involved.

EDIT:
OK, looks like I was probably remembering wrong on that, Solo. The section hit was under renovation and coincidentally was the side best-hardened against some sort of attack like that.

As far as why terrorists would want to hit it - seat of US military authority, a gesture of their intent and motivations, to damage our military leadership, etc.

As part of a false-flag - to imply the above, get increased military funding, and other related issues.

Had there been destruction of info/intel involved, possible motivations would be destruction of records as to the missing $2.3 trillion Rumsfeld had announced the day before, or possible other evidence of military abuses and the like. All sorts of possiblities, allegedly there's evidence from the WTC of all sorts of insider trading that took place immediately prior to the attack, among other things.

Some also think that was the reason for destruction of WTC 7 - is where's Giuliani's emergency command bunker was and some think that's where the WTC attack was directed from, also lots of government and regulatory agency offices in the complex...attacks would apparently make a good way to get rid of evidence.

Sorry for misleading initially, take care.

But why would they want their own vital information destroyed. Maybe someone was about to blow the whistle but why couldn't they just have destroyed it another way? Why so dramatic?

The pentagon was hit in it's accounting offices. And this happened right after they reported a couple of trillion dollars was missing. With the records destroyed there was no way to track it so all was forgiven.

Hmm case closed then. Now that you mention it I do remember NatGeo interviewing an army accountant and she was in the middle of the madness.

heres your answer sorry Praetorius got to it before me remember this press conference came out one day before 911 interesting huh

It was my understanding that the particular part of the pentagon that was targeted was the newly remodeled offices of Naval Intelligence and that they had been investigating the missing 2 trillion dollars that Rumsfeld spoke of shortly before the attacks. That's just what I heard.

Interesting how things played out, huh? Damn crooks, killing over 100 people just to cover up their spending.

Yup.. it was the office of Naval Intelligence.

Isn't it ironic? In DC, the Naval Intelligence office was hit and destroyed. They were investigating missing money. In NY, 1 & 2 were hit which housed a lot of Wall Street stuff. Building 7 mysteriously dropped and that housed (if im not mistaken) a lot of SEC stuff, which was looking into a lot of trading fraud. Does anyone remember all the put options placed on September 10th??

But... unfortunately we are all crazy. Because it was just a bunch of cave boys with box cutters.

What if it was these "cave boys with box cutters"? It is a distinct possibility that elements within the government helped the terrorists get ahold of planes and then "gave them" good targets by freeing up air space and perhaps making the suggestions very favorable before-hand.

I see quite a few people referring to the mythical $2.3 trillion, so let's just set a few things straight:

1) The money weren't missing. The Pentagon was suffering from an atrocious accounting situation, where records stored on one computer system could not be accessed on another. This lead to a situation where the Pentagon was becoming increasingly backlogged in matching invoices with expenses.

2) It was old news by 9/10/2001. The issue was first raised in all seriousness in early 1999, and Donald Rumsfeld was even asked during his confirmation hearings what he intended to do about it. The press conference held on 9/10 was to designed to launch an "assault" on the issue, by streamlining procedures and computer systems. You can read the transcript of his speech here: www.defense.gov...

3) The problem didn't go away with the attack on the Pentagon, nor was the problem ignored. Here's an update from February 2002, which also says a bit about the scale of the problem (namely that they had 600 different systems to keep track of): www.defense.gov...

But that doesn't make for much of a conspiracy does it.

i just want to know how the box cutter boys knew that the air force wouldn't shoot them down before they got to the pentagon.....how did they know that the norad was going to be absent that day playing simulation games that involved towers getting hit by airplanes????? how did they know to pick that day?????

None of the above?

We don't know if they had thought about being intercepted, and if they had anything planned to evade potential interceptors.

We know that whatever excercise NORAD had going on 9/11, it didn't hinder their ability to respond.

We can guess the reason that the hijackers chose the specific date, was that it was one where there would be few passengers on the planes (early morning, cross-country flights, on a weekday outside school holidays),

You ask for theories on why the Pentagon was targeted and for some time now I have had a theory concerning why the Pentagon was chosen to be attacked.

When one asks why the Pentagon was selected for an attack, many who accept the official story would see the Pentagon as a military target that would of course be a huge target for terrorist.

What many do not even think about or know about is that many of the 184 killed at the Pentagon most were civilians and about 55 killed were military. Of those killed when one begins to look where they worked and what they did in the months and years that led to Sept. 11, 2001, one has to begin to see that on that fateful day, many of those killed were those that for years had done the classified work that 911 needed in order to have a military plan that on that day was conveniently being executed on the same day that 911 occurred.

Many of those killed were part of top research and secret planning teams that had done much planning on the 911 operation. Since the operation and these military types were scheduled for some training or some type briefing on 9-11-01, it has also been stated that these special planning teams had a location change to their meeting location at the last moment on that fateful day from a safe zone directly into a briefing room that was right in the blast zone of the missile that would soon arrive and ruin everyone's day.

When they were re-directed to a new location for the briefing/meeting, at the last moment, they were moved where the incoming missile would kill most if not all of them.

This was needed because once the operation went live and wet, those that had been a part of the long term secret planning knew too much about what they had been doing in the months and years prior to 911 to be left alive to talk about it.

Had these military and civilian types been allowed to live, they could have given testimony to the planning and how it was executed based on how it was planned.

Since these soon to be victims were re-directed at the last moment to where the blast would occur, it stands to reason by fact of simple logic that whomever changed their meeting location at the last moment and did so with regard to time so as to ensure that all those that were part of the long term planning would be sitting in their chairs when the missile came through and eliminated their possible and or future testimony about what they had been doing for over a year.

These victims if they had not been eliminated would have on their own within hours of 911 realized that they were part of a covert plan that was used against America and as such, these men and women had to be eliminated so as to not have anyone alive that actually did any of the complicated planning that went into the overall 911 plan.

This is the theory that I wanted to share and while I realize its just a theory, once you begin looking into that day and the Pentagon, you will find certain comments about the victims being moved into the blast zone at the last minute as if someone knew when to move them and knew where and when the missile would hit based on the actual planning.

This is why I think the Pentagon was a target. While some will never consider who died and what their jobs and or duties were in the scheme of things, as long as people think that the Pentagon was struck because its a military target, is missing the bigger picture to this crime of the century.

There were I am sure of it any number of reasons, but after the smoke clears, it is the victims that were the targets that day and being in the Pentagon made it look like the government could state that the Pentagon, a known military target for all of Americas enemies was targeted for its military significance while never mentioning the victims other than stating that a number of military and civilians were killed in the terrorist attack.

I hope my discussion has provided you with some addition material to consider. I thank you for the thread and for taking the time to consider my theory on why the Pentagon was a target in the first place.

Here are two links to articles that cover the deaths at the Pentagon and the second link is to a Washington post article about the 911 victims that day. Enjoy.

Bin Laden chose 4 targets to attack that day

Both WTC towers - represented capitialism and money to Bin Laden. Was in Al Qaeda terminology know as the
"Towers of the Jews"

Wtc had been attacked before in Feb 1993. Maybe you heard above that attack where terrorists detonated a
car bomb in underground garage with intent to topple one building into another . 9/11 was culmination of
previous attack

Pentagon which represented US military power, Power which in Bin Laden eyes were polluting the sacred land
of Islam (Saudia Arabia) with American military bases

Know as the Tower of War

Capitol building - seat of US government. Know as the Tower of Laws

Oh the pentagon is a standard symbol used in occult rituals. . . .

The twin towers where the pillars of solomon, and the entire plaza was designed as a compliment to the kabba in mecca according the Japanese that designed the building

The Mosque to Commerce
Bin Laden's special complaint with the World Trade Center.

My theory is because it gave the real perps an alibi. If you attack yourself and then blame the people you hate (muslims) then it deflects the blame. When I say blame the people 'you' hate (muslims) I mean the peopel that planned this only, I have nothing personally bad to say about muslims. Muslims were not responsible imo.
