Time passed.
So we have a question here.
Flight 77 flew into the Pentagon on that memorable day in 2001. If you recall, the first news coming claimed it was a booby trapped truck full of explosives that detonated. Later on it was updated to claim it was in fact an American Airlines flight. I think for all of us, the twin tower debacle overshadowed the story about the pentagon so not too much was thought about the facts as they presented themselves. Time passes and next thing you know, time passed. Another theory started to make the rounds. It was a theory I initially dismissed. Five years after this event I was chatting with a friend. It was put forward that America had attacked herself. Flight 77 did not exist, and this plane was actually a missle. Again I said, although it was an interesting concept, it was flawed. It was nothing but a conspiracy theory. A couple of weeks ago the Pentagon released some footage of this plane impacting the wall and exploding. Recently I received an e mail, with this link.......

Lance Armstrong. What a great story. This man successfully battles against cancer, then rebuilds his ailing body and with an iron will, claims one of the hardest sporting prizes ever, in winning the World's most popular bike race. Claims he used performance enhancing drugs have shadowed him for the last 2 years. This year, the Tour de France has been marred by the banishment of top cyclists because of the alleged taking of these banned substances. I must admit to you that in my earlier question about whether or not you would tell all if you knew of a hero who had cheated, I had Armstrong in mind. I have been subjected to a urine test which was viewed by a nurse. It was I thought a bit excessive and invasive but I did it because my job at that place would have been in jeaopardy if I did not comply. Should every athlete in this sport be subjected to testing and also have the samples stored for years so further testing can be done to combat cheating? Costly? I bet it is. Is the integrity of the sport worth it?
I value your comments.

Well Chanks, the answer to where one would start if digging a hole to China......in their back yard. I know that is where I started. I know you started on in my back yard too!
Please explain to me why the United States would launch a missle to attack the Pentagon or was it a mission gone wrong. Maybe that missle was suppose to shoot flight 11 or 175 out of the skies before they hit the Towers.
A conspiracy just doesn't makes sense to me. I know there is lots of trick photography out there. Who knows?

AV, I think I can answer your question for you to some degree, but please do not read on unless you can accept my views without thinking I'm insane. It is a simple fact that a populace that lives in fear is a populace that is more under the control of its government. THAT is why some people in the United States government and power structure might launch a missile to attack the Pentagon. There are many people in their government who recognize how much their positions and power were consolidated by the events of that day. Do not think that I am trying to say that every person in a government is cruel and sadistic and power-hungry; that is NOT what I am saying. What I AM saying is that there are SOME people in government who not only recognize how much their power can be increased, they WANT it VERY BADLY, and they certainly are capable of causing such a thing to happen. You do not have to look any further back than the American civil war (and there are more recent examples too) to see that there are indeed people in their government (as their are in ours) who are evil, power-hungry, and callous. Please accept my apologies if you find these views offensive or pessimistic. I feel they are at the very least realistic.
As far as the OTHER question of the day goes, I have some questions back atcha chankslee.
Were the drugs that you were tested for dangerous to your work environment? For instance, a lot of workplaces that test for drugs include cocaine in their tests, and yet it is quite common knowledge that there are people in the world who live several dozens of years with regular cocaine usage and do not suffer from harmful effects. On the other hand, some of those same people may have introduced cocaine to their friends, and then their friends may have suffered heart attacks, overdoses resulting in death, or obliterated bank accounts resulting in vagrancy. So if a person that's done cocaine for twenty years is not deemed a danger to their work environment, should he then be put in jail for manslaughter when his friend dies of an overdose? It's like showing someone a bridge over a fast flowing river and then they decide to jump off into the river for some excitement. Is it your fault when they die?
I certainly think that an athlete that's doing a life-threatening drug that enhances his performance has an unfair advantage over another athlete who is scared to use that drug because he does not want to make his family suffer the loss of his presence in their lives. I cannot think of any other way to ensure the safety of athletes than testing for drugs. One suggestion is to take away the incentive for an athlete to try to be in first place. Instead of giving a million dollars to the winner, give two hundred thousand dollars to each of the top five, or fifty thousand to each of the top twenty, with slight variations in amounts depending on which specific place they had. The drive for first place is one of the most destructive forces in the world. It causes heart attacks, fights, wars, estrangement of family and friends, and cheating and lying and lack of pride and happiness. With less drive to be the one best athlete, they might be less inclined to take such risks and then the invasion of their privacy entailed by testing would not be necessary.
Same goes for your work enviorenment. People do drugs because of pressure they are put under. Reduce the pressure on people, their drug usage will fade and diminish to at the very least unharmful levels. Improve counselling in your workplace instead of introducing testing and the employer can be credited with having a good conscience and a good level of concern about her employees.
I believe it is all about choices. If the owner of a company wants to test for drug usage in his employees that should be his option. Also the employees have the choice as to whether they want to be tested, the choice of where they want to work. So....if you don't want to be tested for drugs, find another job.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Georgie Baby, planned the whole 911 attack, right down to the sad stories of what occurred in the final moment before impact. What better way to get total acceptance from the United Nations for the US to try and get control of the Middle East's oil etc. Wonder if you think this makes sense Psam?
Wh0's Bin friends with Bin Laden

hello! I am back for the moment :) what a vacation.....mmmmmm, sun, sand, surf and WIND!!!!!!
I don't buy for one second that it was a missle....too much work for it to be that, too many stories from various ppl who had loved ones on that flight.... I suppose we are able to believe and see whatever we chose to.
hhhmmm drug testing....while I feel it can violate a person if they are innocent, I think in sports they are necessary. Athletes devote their lives to their sports they work very very hard and sacrifice so much, the ones who do it honestly need to be in a safe place they need to have an EQUAL opportunity. People need to start realizing that they can not get away with things, that there has to be a level playing ground and the same starting point....
AV, I believe that a proper civilization has the onus of taking care of the people that live in it. A company is a part of what provides for and takes care of people that live in a civilization. A company provides people the means to all work together to produce something that many people can benefit from, and then those that provided it can be rewarded with a relatively versatile currency known as money. Because of a company's role as provider to the people in civilization, it is also the responsibility of the company to provide freedom to the people in this civilization. Drug testing is a violation of freedom, and what's more it is a violation of people's feeling that they can be trusted. I'm not saying I would encourage unilaterally banning drug testing, but on the other hand, do not let a person who owns a company think that they do not have certain responsibilities to their employees. Do not let CEOs and company owners and bosses think that their title gives them licence to do whatever they want. They get that title as both an achievement and as a title of trust from the people who are under their care.
Targo I believe that it's not true that there were stories from families of loved ones on the flights that allegedly hit the Pentagon. I believe all the stories came from people on board the two flights that hit the WTC towers. All the ones I remember anyways. Perhaps we can find out more about this, but I'm not convinced either way.
didn't they just do a movie on Flight 77,,, the one that hit the pentagon. And wasn't there that pregnant lady who's husband called her from the plane. It was their 4th child(IIRC) their only daughter too something tells me. It struck me hard b/c Tarek was still a baby baby. I remember sobbing at this story. And then listening as they kept track of this one womans life.... and the strength she found in God was mesmorizing to me.
Her hubby faught with the other passengers and forced the plane down early...... the woman talked through tears about this on countless news shows......
You can't make that up.....
I can see why Terrorist's would attack the world Trade Centre but cant figure out why they would attack a vacant wing of the pantagon. It seems funny that all videos of the pentagon attack were siezed by the FBI within minutes of the attack yet there are numourous videos of the WTC attack. Part of me wonders if Bush would have got as much support to invade Afganistan if the pentagon wasnt attacked as well. I think that it is entirely possible and likely that the attack on the pentagon was by the US Government either by mistake or on purpose, after all more Americans have been killed by friendly fire lately than by Terrorists. If an American Airlines plane had fit the pentagon there wouldn't be a cover up like there is now, and we would see wings and chairs littered all over the front lawn of the pentagon. It mentioned on the website that that wing of the pentagon had been undergoing a renovation since 1999. If I hired a Contractor to reno my house and he still wasnt done 7 years later, I would consider bombing the place as well to recieve some insurance money.
As for drug Testing, we need to realize that haveing a job is a privelage, not a right. I want to know if any of my employees do cocaine, because if their back pack is in my truck, and I get pulled over and searched, those drugs are now in my possesion. If you are consuming illegal substances, getting tested at work is the least of your problems. If you dont do illegal substances, then you have nothing to worry about. On the other hand your boss might test possitive, and you recieve his possition because you have been an example to the whole office, or kitchen, or janitorial staff, or truck drivers union. So if you dont do drugs, you are more likely to succeed in life, thefore go and get tested and show to the world that you are a man (or woman) and you dont need drugs, but you are able to get high on life.
It has been nice to see all of you again. I dont apologize if you find these views offensive or pessimistic. I feel they are at the very least realistic.

Hey I was so bad in school I had lousy marks.
What would have happened when I got my first job and flunked my urine test? I would have been emotionally scarred for the rest of my life.
All because of some mean and nasty CEO who wanted high performance "Team Players".
The facts of 911 will NEVER be shared with the common people. Follow the money to get the answers. Fact is that the biological WMD the US were looking for was produced by the Carlysle Company of the U.S.A. How about following the money for the construction of a new World Trade Center and the insurance claims? Didn't Osama Bin Laden get rich from being in construction. Maybe they paid him to do a little destruction? I would like to know who the people are that are getting rich over these tear down and build up projects. If they ordered the tear down, then they are unhuman, heartless, uncaring and capable of anything.
Thank goodness for the internet where the EVIDENCE can be posted and "intelligent, thinking" people can make up their own opinions.
I am only one person and my one person's opinion is that the whole 911 thing was organized and, orchestrated. Osama and Sadam are taking the fall for it, but I believe they are only a small part of the bigger picture.
Not to worry, things will get worse and worse but the end is not yet.
