    My brother lived in Washington, D.C. for 3 years and I lived near NYC in NJ for 29 years. Unless you have lived in DC for a long time I probably know more about it than you do.

    Here is the truth about missile protection for the Pentagon, not your guess:

    http://www.wanttoknow.info/911/9-11_pentagon_missile_defense

    You may remember that before 9/11, there were a number of tests of the Pentagon's missile defense systems. Some tests failed, while others succeeded. But there is an important question here. If these sophisticated military systems were designed to detect missiles fired from unknown locations at over 13,000 mph and shoot them down in mere minutes, why on 9/11 could they not detect any one of the four large airliners traveling at a mere 600 mph, especially when two of them were known to be lost for over 40 minutes before they crashed?

    This question applies especially to Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon. The first plane hijacking on 9/11 was reported at about 8:20 AM (see NY Times article), well over an hour before Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:38. According to the Times article, Flight 77 was reported lost at 8:56 A.M., 42 minutes before it crashed. Even if the FAA radar systems completely failed and FAA officials failed to alert the military, all military leaders certainly knew within minutes that the World Trade Center had been hit at 8:46. By 9:03, when the second tower was hit, they certainly knew there were big problems.

    How is it possible that the Pentagon's highly touted missile detections systems could not locate Flight 77 in the 42 minutes it was known to be lost before it crashed into the heart of the defense system of the U.S.? The missile detection systems did not depend on FAA radar and were programmed to pick up any unaccounted for objects and raise alarms immediately, as mentioned on the CBO website.

    This was not a surprise attack. The minute the first aircraft turned off its transponder ATC knew something was wrong. There was plenty of time to scramble fighters to protect NYC and Washington, DC. How much do you know about Air Force bases near NYC and Washington? It seems like very little or nothing at all.

    You're wrong. They were interviewed by the 9/11 commission.

    Well, the main reason is that none of the airliners were guided missiles traveling at 13,000 miles per hour. They were great, lumbering airliners traveling along at around 200 miles per hour. And any good missile defense system has discretionary circuitry designed to differentiate between small, fast, high altitude arc ballistic missiles and big, fat, slow airliners full of people. If they did not differentiate between targets every airliner going into Ronald Reagan airport would be shot down.

    The other reason they didn't shoot down the other three planes was that the Pentagon is located in Arlington, Virginia, and the other three planes were in New York City and Somerset County, Pennsylvania. I am not sure how much you know about geography, but New York City is about 250 miles from Arlington, VA, and the crash site in Pennsylvania is about 175 miles from Arlington, VA. :)

    Oh, by the way, a wack-job conspiracy theory web site is probably not the best source of factual information. :D :D

    They answered questions for over 3 hours in a meeting with the commission.

    Again, a wack-job conspiracy theory web site is probably not the best source of factual information. :D

    So you claim that there's no protection for the Pentagon, correct?

    Actually, this is not a conspiracy theory website but rather a website devoted to finding out the truth. Secondly, the government theory about what happened on 9/11 is itself a conspiracy theory.

    I didn't say that. There are no AA SAMs configured to shoot down commercial airliners.

    You know this because......? In reality, it wasn't a commercial airliner that hit the Pentagon. That's just another lie of the Bush conspiracy theory. The hole in the Pentagon wasn't large enough to accommodate a commercial airliner and a commercial airliner couldn't have penetrated several layers of reinforced concrete. Most likely it was a cruise missile. That's why all the surveillance camera footage around the pentagon was confiscated except for one fuzzy image.

    What about the (over 100) eyewitnesses that saw a plane strike the Pentagon?

    Hmmm...?
