A simulation of a plane crashing into the Pentagon was done before 9/11

Rumsfeld may know much more than he's willing to admit. According to a report on the US army's Internet site, a simulation of a plane crashing on the Pentagon was carried 10 months before September 11. Rumsfeld told the 9-11 Commission, under oath, that "he did not know" about this simulation, which was conducted by the Emergency Management Team at the Pentagon and involved a lot of employees. The simulation could have been just one more in an endless series of coincidences. Or it could be part of the planning for an event the Pentagon - or at least his director - knew was going to happen.

The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas.

Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one.

The Pentagon Mass Casualty Exercise, as the crash was called, was just one of several scenarios that emergency response teams were exposed to Oct. 24-26 in the Office of the Secretaries of Defense conference room.

1. Rumsfertau lied about what he knew and what he did on 9/11.

He's the point of the spear on this black op.

Also, some have speculated that a simulation of a plane hitting the Pentagon was also performed on 9/11. It is pretty amazing a passenger jet would leave only an 18 foot wide hole.

There are so many things that don't add up about that day that it's hard to focus.

2. The plane hit.

I have a friend who's a professional debunker and as soon as this garbage first showed up, I sent it to him and he sent back a complete and detailed refutation.

But never mind the disinformation. I think Rumsfeld was in on it. They were prepared for a hit on the Pentagon. I do not believe any of them knew for certain which building would be hit. That FOUR jets would be hijacked and THREE buildings hit in two cities? I don't think they knew that. I don't think Osama knew he'd actually dissolve the towers. None of his hits had ever been that spectacular. One of al qaeda's problems now is how to top anything that big. Something smaller looks like retreat.

The goal could have been accomplished with a MUCH smaller number of victims. They hit the trifecta.

The point is that it couldn't have happened without direct complicity at the highest levels of the administration. Specifically rumsfertau who controlled the order to intercept the planes and refused to give it.

3. Umm 10 months before 9/11 was still the Clinton Administration

So I think this argument would just get shot to hell by the Republicans.

4. This refutes the bushlerite claim that no one could imagine plane/weapons.

The strategy had been researched extensively.

6. Right. The 3 monkeys defense because it came from Clinton.

Well, to me the monkey is on the back of * people for dismissing anything from the Clinton administration.

If you look at the pictures of the pentagon pre collapse its kinda hard to picture a plane hitting it at all atleast not a 757 as was claimed.
