By initiating a false flag attack and going to war many american companies stood to profit highly from it. including members of the previous administration, as well as their family and friends.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, look how that turned out. It's really a "money making machine" at this point, isn't it? With the falling oil-prices and financial crisis.
I don't know if it's occurred to anybody yet, but politicians are people too. They DO have feelings other than money.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;36579579]Actually yeah it would, because when you say that the plane did not actually crash into the pentagon/tower/field you do then have to explain both A: What did cause those blasts, and B: What happened to the planes. Because if they didn't hit where they officially (actually) hit then they just disappeared off the face of the earth. To prove the pentagon was not hit by a plane would require you find proof the plane that hit it was elsewhere at the time.[/QUOTE]
It would be pretty easy to dispose of or hide a plane that took off with enough fuel to fly 3000+ miles. I'm not saying that happened, but it is plainly unreasonable to demand a complete explanation from anyone who rejects your understanding of the events of that day. I will try to make my point more clear for you and others like you who seem to have a loose understanding of how logic works.
If there is evidence that a plane didn't hit the Pentagon, the validity of that evidence is not logically dependent on an alternate explanation of what happened to the plane that reportedly did hit the Pentagon. Of course, it would be much easier to prove that the plane in question didn't hit the Pentagon if it could be proven that the plane landed somewhere else or crashed into the ocean, but this is not logically necessary. It doesn't work both ways. A lack of evidence that something happened does not constitute evidence that it didn't, unless there are no plausible alternatives. In this case, it's perfectly plausible that the plane crashed or landed somewhere else. It is very difficult to prove that a suspect committed murder when the body of the victim cannot be found, but it is not impossible. Bodies can be disposed of. So can airplanes. Further, I'm talking about the legal standard of proof for criminal proceedings which is a much tougher standard than you should expect from strangers on the internet, or anyone who is not a juror in a criminal trial.

I'd say the one lacking a clear understanding of logic is you. I never said it's impossible to prove that something other than a plane hit the pentagon solely because you can't place the plane anywhere else (not to say it is possible to prove something other than a plane hit the pentagon). Just saying it makes it a lot easier, the way I'm looking at it the plane is the suspect, not the body, and probably the best way to prove someone didn't do something is to prove they weren't there when it happened. Also: since you've raised the subject: what "evidence" is there that it wasn't a plane other than that you think a 757 is easy to hide.

Then all those 9/11 families whose relatives were on the plane are just faking that their relatives are dead. That's the biggest problem with that.
Also I read the rest of your post, just wanted to respond to that bit.
here's a question:
why would the government spend the time and money to put explosives in the tower and bring a controlled demolition
when they could just fly a plane into it and have an (apparently) much more convincing attack

A few of the conspiracy theories say that they really did use planes, those same theories also state that the people who say there were no planes are a government plot to discredit them.
Also another question, this one relating to the Pentagon: is there anything [i]at all[/i] that even suggests it was a missile strike? The only "evidence" I've seen were two edited recordings of witnesses.
I heard a conspiracy theory that said they were tomahawk missiles with a plane hologram over them.
These people say the darnedest things.
[QUOTE=OvB;36599291]I heard a conspiracy theory that said they were tomahawk missiles with a plane hologram over them.

The things people make up...
Honestly, who can be dumb enough to even CONSIDER having it be a hologram? Wouldn't the planes be transparent, leaving the missile visible?
It all lends to the notion that the US Government probably didn't perpetrate this. Even assuming they did, all the technology and materials they would have needed to put this plan to action would have been really damned expensive. If we suppose that 9/11 was done to get involved in the Middle East and make a profit selling weapons (which is a stupid notion by itself), wouldn't there have been a much easier and less expensive way to get involved in a war?
If anyone is interested in watching interesting conspiracy theories (even though I know all of you believe that for absolutely no reason our government would do anything like that), and you have Netflix, go on there and search Zeitgeist the Movie
it's really interesting. the first bit of the movie is about religion, skip it if you want to.
Government did it on purpose to impose Nazi like control on immigration / the skies over America, mission accomplished

Bit of a contradiction here: most conspiracy theorists state that the growing illegal immigration problem (as in the lack of control on it) is also a government conspiracy.

Over three days before terrorists flattened the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon, there was more than 25 times the previous daily average trading in a Morgan Stanley "put" option that makes money when shares fall below $45. Trading in similar AMR and UAL put options, which make money when their stocks fall below $30 apiece, surged to as much as 285 times the average trading up to that time.[/quote]

I don't see how that has anything to do with a government conspiracy to destroy the world trade center.
Not to mention that AA's stocks actually went UP after Oct 2001, and not down. Or that the stocks were already on their way down.

In December of 2001, press reports noted that Convar Systeme Deutschland GmbH was working on recovering data from some hard drives extracted from the destroyed computer systems. Unlike conventional data recovery efforts, the German company used laser scanning to read drive surfaces in order to create virtual disks. These virtual disks were then read to recover data. As of December 20th, 2001, Convar had completed processing 39 out of 81 drives, and expected to receive 20 more drives in January. These reports do not indicate how many drives were believed lost or destroyed in the collapses. Companies paid Convar between $20,000 and $30,000 per drive for the work.[/quote]

Unusual, minutes.
More irrelevance:
[quote]On September 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference to disclose that over $2,000,000,000,000 in Pentagon funds could not be accounted for. Rumsfeld stated: "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions." According to a report by the Inspector General, the Pentagon cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends. 1 2
Such a disclosure normally might have sparked a huge scandal. However, the commencement of the attack on New York City and Washington in the morning would assure that the story remained buried. To the trillions already missing from the coffers, an obedient Congress terrorized by anthrax attacks would add billions more in appropriations to fight the "War on Terror." [/quote]

Could you perhaps post the link where you're getting this? 2.3 trillion, even for the post-Iraq invasion Defense Budget, is a horribly large number. Sounds more like he's talking about money over the course of years, rather then something that occurred right then and there.
