I am beginning to think the Bush Admin let it happen.  He has some explaining to do. Regarding the 9/11 Commission Interview with President Bush \n\nhttp://www.911independentcommission.org/bush2162004.htm...  \n\nStatement and Questions 1-23 submitted February 16, 2004 \nQuestions 24-39 submitted March 18, 2004 \n\nThe Family Steering Committee believes that President Bush should provide sworn public testimony to the full ten-member panel of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States . Collectively, the Commissioners are responsible for fulfilling the Congressional mandate. Therefore, each Commissioner must have full access to the testimony of all individuals and the critical information that will enable informed decisions and recommendations. \n\nBefore an audience of the American people, the Commission must ask President Bush in sworn testimony, the following questions:\n\n \n1. As Commander-in-Chief on the morning of 9/11, why didn’t you return immediately to Washington, D.C. or the National Military Command Center once you became aware that America was under attack? At specifically what time did you become aware that America was under attack? Who informed you of this fact? \n\n2. On the morning of 9/11, who was in charge of our country while you were away from the National Military Command Center? Were you informed or consulted about all decisions made in your absence? \n\n3. What defensive action did you personally order to protect our nation during the crisis on September 11th? What time were these orders given, and to whom? What orders were carried out? What was the result of such orders? Were any such orders not carried out? \n\n4. In your opinion, why was our nation so utterly unprepared for an attack on our own soil?\n\n5. U.S. Navy Captain Deborah Loewer, the Director of the White House Situation Room, informed you of the first airliner hitting Tower One of the World Trade Center before you entered the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Please explain the reason why you decided to continue with the scheduled classroom visit, fifteen minutes after learning the first hijacked airliner had hit the World Trade Center.\n\n6. Is it normal procedure for the Director of the White House Situation Room to travel with you? If so, please cite any prior examples of when this occurred. If not normal procedure, please explain the circumstances that led to the Director of the White House Situation Room being asked to accompany you to Florida during the week of September 11th.\n\n7. What plan of action caused you to remain seated after Andrew Card informed you that a second airliner had hit the second tower of the World Trade Center and America was clearly under attack? Approximately how long did you remain in the classroom after Card’s message?\n\n8. At what time were you made aware that other planes were hijacked in addition to Flight 11 and Flight 175? Who notified you? What was your course of action as Commander-in-Chief of the United States?\n\n9. Beginning with the transition period between the Clinton administration and your own, and ending on 9/11/01, specifically what information (either verbal or written) about terrorists, possible attacks and targets, did you receive from any source? \n\nThis would include briefings or communications from\n\n• Out-going Clinton officials\n• CIA, FBI, NSA, DoD and other intelligence agencies\n• Foreign intelligence, governments, dignitaries or envoys\n• National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice\n• Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism czar\n\n \n10. Specifically, what did you learn from the August 6, 2001, PDB about the terrorist threat that was facing our nation? Did you request any follow-up action to take place? Did you request any further report be developed and/or prepared? \n\n11. As Commander-in-Chief, from May 1, 2001 until September 11, 2001, did you receive any information from any intelligence agency official or agent

The motive would be to declare martial law.\n***\nThe plane intended to hit the Capitol was shot down before it hit it's target.  (I'm going off of the theories that I am familiar with.)  Signals were crossed and the plane was shot down early.  This, in turn, made for a wonderful story, as the plane was determined crashed because the brave souls on the flight stood up to their highjackers.  Had that plane hit the Capitol, the whole of D.C. would have been crippled and George W. Bush would have had an indisputable reason to declare martial law.\n***\nI don't have the movie memorized.  If you need to know about these conspiracies, please watch one of the films dedicated to the topic, or read a book based on the same.  The plane didn't hit (according to the theories I am familiar with) because the military plane sent to target it misinterpreted the orders.  Their plan did not go 100% accordingly, obviously.  The motive was there, the means were there, the actual act got muffed due to a lack of interpretation on the pilot's part.  (PLEASE do not think that I am holding these happenings as truth, I am just filling you in on all that I've watched, read, and heard on the radio.)\n***\nDid you ask just to ridicule?  I thought that this was a debate forum of sorts, not a free-for-all insult fest.

You don't "point" a missile at something.  It's all computer coded.  In a symbolic gesture, both the US and the Soviet Union "pointed" their missiles away.  In reality, they just removed the coordinates from the computer's primary target list.  It takes about 1/2 second to put it back in, which is part of the launch sequence anyway.  It's sort of like moving someone's number from SpeedDial 1 to SpeedDial 2 in your phone.  Doesn't make a big difference.

I don't think this is true  - I can't find any evidence of it in the news.\n\nThe US wants to make war on Iran so maybe this is part of the lead up - "lets make everyone see than Iran are the enemy now"

I remember when Clinton had a missile launched into a country without the declaration of war (Pakistan I think  it was). I remember it was mentioned on the news like it was nearly an everyday news item. They moved on to the next topic so fast that both my husband and I looked at each other and said, "That was odd." We were not stating that as much about the missile attack but that it didn't draw more of a story. A few days later the debris was on the news and it was a small story that there was misinformation and instead of it being a WMD (chemical weapons) production site, evidence showed that it was just a pharmacuetical maker. The news barely covered it and no one seemed ruffled that we shot a missile into a country without permission nor a declaration of war.\n\nSo no, I don't think there would be near as much media bruhaha if it had been Clinton.

Probably not. It is most likely a call for attention. Every time the US seems diverted by the ongoing GWOT in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, Kim Jong Il starts jumping up and down like a spoiled child vying for attention. "Look at me, I have the bomb, look at me..."\n\nEvery year around the same time, the North Koreans have war games that often culminate in the "launch" of a missile in defense of N Korea. This year, they appear to have actually used a real missile; although, it is unclear, according to media reports, whether or not the missile (Taepodong 2) has actually been fueled enough to successfully launch. \n\nIt is most likely an attempt at brinksmanship to get the US to engage in bilateral talks with N Korea, rather than returning to the Six Party Talks. So far, China, Russia, S Korea and Japan have joined the US in calling for a cancellation of the test firing of this missile.

We could attack them. We really don't need an excuse to go to war with them. We'll just make up lies. That always seems to work good for our government!

It is the same footage because before it was leaked, now it has been officially released. This is what I heard here but I havn't been in the US since last november. Your link was the first i saw this footage leaked or released.\n\nCan't tell that it's a plane. My computers not great and it's a small viewing box but I guess enough have said it's not great where I believe that a larger view wouldn't help much. It also appears to come in horizontally only fueling my suspicion. I imagine a plane would come in at an angle, especially since the pentagon is not that high. Never flew a plane but flew enough simulators to know skimming across the ground that low ain't easy, especially for someone with little flight experience and probably never flew an actual jumbo jet before. Looks like a rocket fired sideways like in an explosion test. I can't tell it's even the pentagon. If they hoped to clear up rumors that doesn't help. They really did it anyway to remind us why we fight.

I SAW the plane go in that day. I was less than a quarter mile away and I watched it happen. I can assure you, it was a commercial airliner.  We were in an office building in Crystal City, just across the highway and we were watching the CNN coverage of the WTC on the Internet so when we heard the plane coming in (you get used to what planes should and should not be doing there, so close to National Airport) we all watched. We could see bits of clothes and things from people's luggage falling from the sky after the explosion.  This was no missile or bomb. It was a regular ol' commercial airliner.\n\nYou can't see the debris because it's too far inside. The Pentagon is not a single building--- it is a series of pentagon-shaped buildings, each one a little larger than the last, and built around each other. These are pretty big buildings and there's a good amount of space in between.  It's a long way from the innermost part of the inner ring to the outermost part of the outer ring. And when the plane hit, it went all the way through the first two rings and most of the way through the third.\n\nSo the reason you can't see the debris is because the hole the plane made is deeper than the length of the plane. If you imagine parking your car allll the way inside your garage, as close to the wall as you can get, then standing off to the side a bit. You can't see your car any more. Your car did not disappear--- it just is in a place where it can't be seen from where you are standing.\n\nSo don't believe everything you see on the Internet. Any whack-job with a video camera and Photoshop can build a conspiracy theory web site.

The buildings looked like they were professionally demoed. Plus, some of the people questioning the matter have been killed in accidents or murders. \n\nI don't know if Bush himself knew about it or not, but I find the whole thing suspicious. Plus, there was no evidence of a plane hitting the Pentagon. No wings, no footage from security cameras. But then the question is if it wasn't the plane that hit, where's the plane with all of those passengers? Also, what did explode at the Pentagon? I heard on the news at first that it was a truck bomb, then it was changed.\n\nbradsgranny, Bush has said he wasn't interested in Osama's whereabouts since the Iraq invasion.

I think it very convincing. I remember wondering why there was no exterior plane wreckage the day it happened. If it was a missile or a military plane the government would want to hush it up as it would be difficult to pin that on Islamic nationalists unless they had help. It is a bit like the anthrax attacks. One of the 9-11skyjackers was treated for an anthrax skin lesion, an extremely rare condition before 9-11. There was also a very direct link between one of the skyjackers and the first anthrax victim. His former landlord worked in the same building. Yet the government avoided investigating any links and tried to find a scapegoat.

I think some people are just grasping at straws.  There were thousands of people who saw a plane crash into the pentagon, no one saw a missle.  This seems to be based on a couple of people who weren't even looking at the pentagon hearing a woosh sound.  So they take conjecture of a couple of people over the word of thousands.  By the way, the plane was there, just in a lot of peices.\n\nThe stupid picture everyone refers to is filled with smoke and workers.  It was taken from a ground level which also obscures most of what is going on.  They removed the plane in peices over the next few weeks, or are all the news networks like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc... all in on the conspericay too?

The Pentagon was hit by a plane on 9/11, bud, so try reading a paper occasionally.\n\nThe 'proof' about the Pentagon conspiracy theory is based mainly on one ambiguous photo of the damage done to the building after the plane hit. This is mostly the work of a French journalist Thierry Meyssan who wrote the book 9/11: The Big Lie soo after it happened.

Ever seen video of 9/11? There's obviously bombs on each floor of the building and you can see them explode. A plane hitting a building that big will not knock it over. Even if the plane could knock over the building, the towers fell straight down and not to the side like they should've if the planes made them fall. It was obviously an inside job. They wanted to scapegoat someone to start a war. The United States government is making a fortune from the war. No doubt that in agreeing to be scapegoated, Bin Laden made a fortune and is probably making money off the production of weapons for the Islam side. However, most of the weapons used against the United States are bought from the United States. The US was so sure that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction because the US sold them those weapons after the Vietnam war.  \nI think it is patriotic to ask questions of the government. However, every American has gun in case they need to have a revolution to overthrow the government. Why hasn't there been a mass uprising to overthrow the current government?

It's questionable. It seems it was hit with some sort of missile. The story is supposedly that an airplane hit it, but the resulting hole is too small and there is no evidence of plane. The government says the explosion was so hot it burned the evidence, but how come the bodies and other things around weren't burned? It's one of the many questionable topics of 9/11 (like how the twin towers free-fell to the earth??) that are explored in the video below.
