Default 2.3 TRILLION bucks 'missing' from Pentagon on 9/10/01

The day before 9/11/01, Donald Rumsfeld said that 2.3 TRILLION bucks were "missing" from Pentagon funds.





And I get excited when I find a ten spot in the dirty laundry.

What would have been the story of the year somehow meant nothing the next day.

Fabricated materials, I would say to raise those who believe in a conspiracy.

Long read, but gives some explanations:

TL;DR?

Basicly, the money simply couldn't be tracked throughout the system due to
incompatible software at the time in Pentagon.

9/11 is a can of worms
As far as im concerned these are the only 9/11 facts.

2 planes hit WTC 1 and 2 which then collapes along with Wtc 7
Something hit the pentagon.
Something crashed in Pittesgburg.
Americas Air defense failed.
over 3000 people died.

And thats it, that is all anyone REALLY knows.

Everything else that anyone believes surrounding 9/11 is unproven. whether they support the offical story or the truth movements theories -, there is no true evidence to support either, if one was 100% proven the other would not exist, simple as that.
Its down to what people 'choose' to believe.

There's a lot of evidence you're ignoring. The bodies of the people who were aboard the Pittsburgh and Pentagon planes and the parts of the airplanes found at both crash sites for instance.

If you discount those pieces of evidence then what makes you think airplanes really hit the WTC? Some film footage?

$2.3 trillion? That's enough for a toilet seat and a hammer isn't it?

If you can point me to this evidence I'll happily believe it. I've seen the plane hit wtc2 from about 20 angles, it would be pretty irrational to conclude that something else happened.
Trust me I would much rather believe the official story than the truthers, no question there, but what I prefer is irrelevant

One thing I am certain of....the world has never been the same since 9/11 whether you believe it or not.

Just for the record....I believe.

The only thing I find interesting here is that someone would suddenly "find" evidence in a video that's been there for five years.

Been there done that. That site is already in my favorites, its mostly hearsay mate
We shouldnt need sites like this anyway - if they had carried out a proper investigation and not destroyed and with held most of the evidance.
"Shall we foresically examine the rubble of the worst terrorist attack on US soil? - nah i dont think we'll bother, lets just assume that fire softened the trusses".
For real?
No wonder the 9/11 'truth' movement is growing, nothing wrong with asking for the truth mind, but there is pleanty wrong with saying 'it was an inside job' that is just theory and assumption......

trust me I ve spent days reading up on 9/11 and my conclusion is - its inconclusive, I dont think we will ever really know -or be 100% sure of what happened on that terrible day.

As you wish. For me 99.9% is good enough. That last .1% requires having participated in the event itself.

The whole truther movement is in dire need of some Occam's razor.
