Ray,, Do you think that Bush believes what he is saying? Although I find it extremely difficult to watch or listen to him and avoid it where possible (near impossible) I have a feeling that whoever is advising him has convinced him of what he spews. I don't think that he is the brightest bulb in the box and probably easily convinced. JMHO.

Not to mention the unbelievable (literally) coincidence of just such an "exercise" . scoop.co.nz According to the official government web site of the Military District of Washington the Pentagon ITSELF planned in detail how it would respond to just such a scenario from October 24-26 2000. And this was no low-level exercise, since it took place in the Office of the Secretaries of Defense conference room. This story was run in Unknown News and picked up the same day by Democrats.com which fortunately, kept a copy because within 24 hours, the story –along with the entire Military District website– was scrubbed by the White House! The model used in this simulation and the response plan was developed by Don Abbott, who is the founder of FieldSoft, a company that makes emergency-response software programs and systems, including FdonScene. This program, according to the FieldSoft site, "is the first –and only– fire service, software application specifically designed for incident commanders and their staff in-the-field. The commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) product is designed to support in field operations for any type of emergency response. Basically, FDonScene is an automated COTS tool that actively facilitates control and coordination of people, procedures, events, and other resources with the touch of a finger.The application is specifically designed for fast, simple and easy use by the incident commander, as well as members of the command staff." Bush was without doubt very familiar with FdonScene because it was first endorsed by the Texas Fire Chiefs Association while he was governor (1998). And, as the FieldSoft brochure mentions, "FieldSoft has engineered software necessary to integrate FDonScene with a consequence management system under development by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)." So this is definitely a program well known to and used by the military.

Without even checking on the fuzzy facts in the article....a couple of observations. First the photo used to show where the 757 hit wasn't the point of impact. There are other photos about that show the entire section of the Pentagon obliterated. Second as a matter of conspiracy reasonableness. There were far to many people involved in the incident to ever be able to pull off any such conspiracy. Outside of the DoD, you've got the Press involved and the FAA investigative team, plus fire and ambulances, etc. IMO, there's no way you could get a coverup that the link suggests. Throw it out as a piece from someone with an overactive imagination. jttmab
