1999 NORAD did all the legwork for the WTC attacks. 10/24/2000 a simulation called NASGOW -- NASCOW? did all the legwork for the Pentagon attack. It was the NASGOW simulations that the American Airlines pilot who died at the Pentagon was involved in.
April 2004, someone at NORAD came up with another plane in the Pentagon scenario and had it tossed out as inconceivable.
Bush didn't have to come up with stuff on his own, he just had to plagiarize all the people who were actually trying to defend this country from crazy people.
To what you said about our own weapons against us...the gas station and hotel videos would prove that a terrorist did it - you'd actually have the face of the 'mad Arab' or whatever firing the missile off at the Pentagon.
Why such an elaborate plane into the building hoax when you could just deny that it was our own country's armament doing the damage? That seems a lot easier than claiming a jet - complete with passengers - rammed into the place. They came up with a cover story and a casualty list pretty quick to cover up something they couldn't predict.
*sigh* Look, I hate when RL bounces all over my fun time. In fifty years, someone will declassify something and we'll find out what happened one way or another. Or our kids/grandkids can tell us through a Ouija board fifty years after that, I don't know. I just wanna go back to the reason I friended the journal - fic and recs and fandom stuff. Can we chalk this out to You say tomato, I say tomahto while we're both making spaghetti sauce?
