Something that I just responded to on blogger... I thought it was appropriate to post here.
"Jon, I respect your posts, but I don't understand this position you've taken on the Penta-plane. I cannot suspend my disbelief enough to accept all of the miraculous, coincidental, physically-unbelievable, and incompentence-related factors that had to converge to allow a 757 to do what it is alleged to have done on that day."
It's really very simple. People look at me like I'm an idiot if I say something other than Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. People don't listen to anything else I have to say if just one thing slips from my mouth that they perceive as insane. I would rather have people listen to what I have to say than write me off as a "tin-foil hat wearing Conspiracy Theorist nutjob".
On top of that, there is enough evidence to suggest that Flight 77 did, in fact, hit the Pentagon. On the other side of the argument, there are no photos or videos in existence to show us Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon. That reason, in and of itself, is why I don't spend any time on that particular subject. The "What". I can't prove one way or the other what hit the Pentagon.
The "What hit the Pentagon" argument is NO different than the "Magic Bullet Theory". People have debated FOR YEARS as to whether or not that bullet was able to do what it did. Whether or not Oswald was the "Lone Gunmen". Whether or not someone was in the "Grassy Knoll". I would rather focus on who benefitted from JFK's assassination. Once you figure out the "Who Dunnit" part, everything else falls into place. On top of that, you have a suspect as opposed to a theory.
I'll take a suspect over a theory any day.
