Why?

If one "they" had financing and trained at air fields on planes, and the other "they" is a shoe string operation of disaffected idiots who didn't train well, what's to understand?

You question would only make sense if "they" had the same training and support- and they probably didn't.

To use an analogy- you have a town with 2 schools- they both call themselves public schools, but one school is in a rich area, with parental support and financing and 100% fully accredited teachers, the other school is in a poor area, with almost no parental support, and 45% accredited teachers- would you wonder why the kids at the latter school have lower test scores? Different people, different support structure, different education = different outcome.

I still don't understand how they can fly airplanes with pinpoint precision into NY office towers yet can't ignite a jeep in Scotland as intended.

The pilot that struck the Pentagon was something special too...made the wings fold up and go into the opening and didn't even scuff the lawn.

She told you. The doctors were just lame ass, AQ wannabees. They weren't the REAL AQ super-terrorist boogeymen like the 1500 in iraq that have the entire Iraqi nation and the worlds sole remaining superpower stalemated.

"I still don't understand how they can fly airplanes with pinpoint precision.."

I've done this myself, multiple times, deliberately, in Microsoft Flight Simulator in all types of aircraft.
