Rumsfeld: missile hit Pentagon 9-11

n. r. key | 11.02.2003 16:54

In an interview transcript on a U.S. military website, Donald Rumsfeld says a missile hit the Pentagon on 9-11.

In an interview with Parade Magazine, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said of the Pentagon attack on 9-11: "Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center. "

Is this a transcription error - i.e. "and the missile" should be "as a missile" - or is it something else?

The words in that sentence are probably due to some kind of mistake.
But IF NOT.. the whole world of imagination and revolutionary happenings lies open!!!

A Big Mistake

Rumsfeld knows very well that it was a missile not a plane. His big mistake was in the slip of the tongue admitting it.
(Rather like Bush's gaffe that he saw the first WTC crash live on TV)
Have a look at this photo. If a plane with 125 ft wingspan,155ft long went in there, then beam me up Scotty.

So called eyewitness evidence for a 757 is all smoke and mirrors
