<a href="http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm" target="_blank"> This site proves that no aircraft crashed into the Pentagon!</a> It's on the net. I believe it.

Dr. Dino's latest trip into Lala-land: He says the government knew about the attack in advance. He also says that the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Africa were an attempt to divert attention from Monica Lewinski! <a href="http://www.drdino.com/cse.asp?pg=articles&specific=26" target="_blank">Look at this!</a>

Aug. 6-7, 1998: On August 6, a grand jury hears former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, reported to testify that she and President carried on a sexual affair. On August 7 two U.S. Embassies in Africa are bombed, steering the news headlines away from the Lewinsky affair. The attacks are later blamed on Osama bin Laden. Why would bin Laden time these attacks to divert attention away from the Clinton affair? This has never been explained.

That Osama, helping out his old buddy Clinton. Must have had a falling out with his father's business partner George Bush Sr.

No! He has it backwards! The whole Monica thing was to divert attention away from Bill's involvement in planning the bombings with Osama, who is actually Monica's half-brother by her husband, Elvis.

P.S.: Osama's mother is a Grey alien. Look at him closely.

Did anyone tell those bozos that, when an aircraft full of fuel crashes and burns at high speed, often there is not enough left that would let you identify it as an "aircraft" from a distant picture? A similar picture of the Penn. site undoubtedly would also not reveal an obvious "Boeing."

I'm disgusted, but not surprised.

Hovind is not only a quack, but he frequently skirts the edges of treason. He's one of these 'The Illuminati control the United States (oooooo nasty Freemasons) and they're going to take over the WORLD.... LOOK OUT FOR THE NWO AND THEIR BLACK HELICOPTERS!!!!! *froth froth froth*' types.

It was only a matter of time before he started spewing/repeating this garbage.

Yeah, well, this here newswanderer doesn't. My amateur analysis:

1) The airplane in question did take off, with many people on board.

2) The airplane, and its crew and passengers, apparently did not land anywhere, as neither the plane nor its occupants have been found intact anywhere else. Any denial that it hit the Pentagon has to at least offer a credible explanation as to what happened to that plane and the people on board, in addition to explaining what else might have caused such an explosion.

3) At least one cell phone conversation, between a passenger and her husband, at the time of the hijacking provides information consistent with the claim that a hijacked jet hit the Pentagon (for instance, the distraught caller did not make another call after the time of the Pentagon explosion).

4) We could check radar and other tracking data from air traffic control to see if the "Boeing-hits-Pentagon" story has any support.

5) A security camera at the Pentagon recorded the impact and explosion of an airliner at the time and spot in question.

6) We could review the material evidence collected from the site during the aftermath, to see whether it is consistent with an airliner crash. I'm sure there's more than a little evidence that a large plane exploded there. Also, haven't they found human remains of some of that airliner's occupants at the Pentagon crash site?

7) Eyewitness testimony: a jet flew low, over a busy freeway and, as many noted, it made a big exploding noise when it hit a building that looked suspiciously similar to the Pentagon. This noise was preceded by a huge fireball. No one has testified that they saw the low-flying jetliner in question pass over the Pentagon and continue towards a different destination.

8) As for the 'missing wings': a.)isn't airline fuel stored in the wings, b.)wasn't the airliner fully fueled at the time of the hijacking, and c.)isn't the admitted evidence of a massive explosion enough to suggest that the fuel exploded, disintegrating much of the wing material?

I offer that much, and I don't know a darn thing about forensics or airliner construction, and barely followed the headlines regarding the post-Sept 11 cleanup. Why do people waste their time creating such silliness?

Oh, and I forgot 9) CNN said an airplane hit the Pentagon. I believe it!

It's amazing how man people are involved in this massive consprircy. If everyone's in on the conspiricy but you, you are the conspiracy.

That post by Hovind makes no sense, even going by extreme lunatic like standards. If this conspiracy crap spreads it is only going to hurt Bush. And why would Hovind want to do anything to hurt Bush, after all he is the "fundy" president? Maybe Jerry will go down from ol' Liberty and Pat will leave his club to go straighten Spent Kent out. Yeah.

Do you suppose Hovind's parents know what a dipshit he is? They must be so proud.

In order to understand how Hovind thinks, here's something from Chick's site I'm pretty sure Hovind would agree with:
