You want evidence that a plane was shot down? If this were this were to actually happen, how would anyone but the person that fired the missile know? It could have happened anywhere. Should I be scouring the bottom of the entire eastern seaboard for you then? I admit, there is no evidence, and even if this scenario occured, there would still be no evidence, unless the person that fired the missile came forward...I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening though...and even if he did, would you even believe him?
No, I don't need you scouring the ocean. But since you are speculating I can't see how this all fits in seeking the truth
As it appears to me that the truth is being supressed, that's all we really have is speculation...what most likely occured...because the "official story' just doesn't fly...

What evidence is there to support the official story? A hole in a building with little to no actual wreckage? Some spurious eyewitnesses that give contradictory testimony to that of other witnesses? FBI confiscating security camera footage from several businesses adjacent to the Pentagon, but releasing 5 frames of a blurry something slamming into the wall in a ball of fire...
Show me a news article that states FBI agents confiscated footage and I will rethink my arguments.
News articles eh?
Would National Geographic Do?
Velasquez says the gas station's security cameras are close enough to the Pentagon to have recorded the moment of impact. "I've never seen what the pictures looked like," he said. "The FBI was here within minutes and took the film."

Incidentally, how many passengers' bodies were pulled out of the Pentagon rubble?
This many
Yes, but why weren't they rendered gaseous, as the aluminum of the fuselage reputedly was?
You are aware that the same military that has released that report, has made a lot of claims in the last few years that have been patently false...I find it difficult to put a lot of faith into what your military is telling me...but at the same time, it's rather difficult to debunk something when that's the only version out there, and no one else has access to the evidence...
...but from what we know, we can assume one of two things:
1. Either the aluminum of the fuselage did not reach the temperature necessary to transform it to a gaseous state, and therefore the victims bodies were not incinerated and vaporized so that the military was able to conduct a proper identification. In which case, why did the investigators make the false claim that the fuselage had been heated to a gaseous state, and where is the fuselage now?
or
2. The aluminum of the fuselage did reach temperatures necessary to transform it to a gaseous state, and the bodies within the fuselage would have been incinerated and vaporized. In which case, how was the military able to conduct a proper identification of the victims?

Apparently without the least fear of laying itself open to ridicule, the Defense Department declared that the jet engines, made out of tempered steel, had disintegrated under the shock of the impact - without damaging the façade. The aluminum of the fuselage is claimed to have combusted at more than 2,500° Celsius within the building and to have been transformed into gas, but the bodies of the passengers which it contained were so little burned that they were later identified from their finger prints. Can you not see a problem with this?
Since you appear to be more scientifically inclined than I am, explain it to me.
There is no rational explanation that I have read...if the aluminum of the fuselage was turned gaseous it would have taken sustained heat of 2467.0 degrees Celsius to make it boil. How long would the aluminum have had to boil to render the entire fuselage gaseous, as the 'experts' have contended had happened?
The bodies should have been vaporized and consequently, unidentifiable, but from the military report you linked to, obviously they were not...

Your analogy with Northwoods is amusing since the Defense Secretary and the President both rejected the pland and had the general "resign"
Vanni Fucci said:
Yes, it would be amusing were it not for the fact that it was Bush and Rumsfeld, and not Kennedy and McNamara...
You've got to admit, that they are two entirely different breeds...
Yes, that I do admit. But I think that is what is driving your beliefs and you cannot make the break. And incidentally I think you of all posters know I have no love for Bush and his band of idiots
Yes I do know that...but at the same time, it seems you are stuck in a gridlock of implicit trust concerning the events of 911, that you are unable to break free of...
You know that Bush and his cronies have lied to you to get the American people on board to invade Iraq, and that they have given assent to countless attrocities...so I'm wondering why it is such a stretch for you to believe that they have lied to you about 911 as well...
Just to keep you guessing though...here's an interesting little factoid...
According to the Washington Post, the passengers of all 4 planes combined constituted only 27% of total seating capacity for those models of planes...something that to this day the airlines have not been able to explain...
