Pentagon on Sept 11- Truth or Lie?

CNN: No evidence a plane hit the Pentagon

On September 11, 2001, major US news media reported that the Pentagon was struck by a Boeing 757 passenger plane, an American Airlines flight 77.

A CNN video clip, readily available on the internet, and reportedly recorded on that day, as events unfolded, said otherwise... Watch the video..

One news report says, on Sept. 11 itself, top Bush officials decided to use the airliner attacks to justify war with Afghanistan and Iraq. "CBS News has learned that barely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was telling his aides to come up with plans for striking Iraq--even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks." (Sept. 4, 2002) In October 2002, the NY Times reported that Rumsfeld created a Pentagon operation "to search for information on Iraq's hostile intentions or links to terrorists"--despite CIA reports saying there were none. Shortly afterward, Rumsfeld announced that he had "solid evidence of the presence in Iraq of al-Qaida members" (Seymour Hersh, May 28, 2003). Soon other officials of the U.S. government were presenting what he said as "evidence."

An article in St Petersburg Times online dated Nov 4, 2005 says:

"Smietana was working in a room on the east side of the Pentagon on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. He and the others in the room had no idea American Airlines Flight 77 had slammed into the opposite side of the building.

"That's how sturdy the Pentagon is," he said. "We were watching the World Trade Center on the monitors, and a few minutes later, somebody said a plane was coming this way.

"We ran outside and saw all the flames."

Smietana's office at (Pentagon's) Plans and Policy was less than 200 feet from the crash site."

How could some one only 200 feet away from the location of flight 77 crash into the Pentagon complex have NO IDEA nor feel the impact of a monstrous plane hitting it unless it was something impact wise lesser than a massive plane crashing into the complex?

The initial report of hijackers with knives and box-cutters on Flight 77 allegedly came from Barbara Olson using a phone on the plane. She just happened to be married to Solicitor General Ted Olson who argued President Bush's election case before the Florida State Supreme Court in 2000.
