Exactly, how could they (the terrorists) be so smart, and so dumb? They supposedly snuck into the United States undetected (we know that's a lie), managed to hijack the planes without anyone considering the possibility of this happening (we know that's a lie), managed to elude the most sensitive radar net on the planet (we know that's a lie), manage to some how make every defensive system and procol, put together by the government and military, fail miserably allowing them free reign to attack their targets (we know that's not possible). Then the worst pilot of the bunch makes an impossible maneuver (we know that's not possible) to attack the one side of the target where the the damage would be minimal (we know that's not consistent with their plan and makes little sense).

If "they" (the people you believe were behind all of this) were smart enough to pull off this masterpiece, why were the dumb enough to A) crash the wrong model of airplane into the building

The potential for the precision nature of the strike was likely not possible with a plane like a 757. The plane had to hit the Pentagon as an increibly precise angle at a very high rate of speed to inflict the damage suggested (the plane and its contents essentially vaporized on impact).

B) plant wreckage from the wrong kind of plane at the crash site

They likely didn't think that anyone would bother to contest their evidence. It would be "unAmerican" and not "patriotic" to just follow the story as it was painted. You might also be interested to know that none of the evidence was ever secured, catalogued, or stored using evidenturay procedures. The evidence was carted away and destroyed within 48 hours. There was never going to be an investigation and the handling of the crime scene is proof of that.

C) fire a missile into an office building in the middle of a major city and hope nobody notices

It would not have met the goals of the operation.

D) if they did make that plane "disappear" and murdered all the passengers, why didn't they just crash that plane into the building in the first place instead of going through this whole rigmarole of pretending it crashed into the building?

See "A" for that answer. The logistics likely were not possible to crash the 757 in question.

I don't trust Bush and his cronies any more than you do, but this hoax stuff is impossible to believe. It just doesn't add up. If the intent was to create an attack on the same scale as Pearl Harbor then why did they make it so damn complicated?

They wanted to make sure that the whole nation was in support of the cause. The best way to do that was to attack the pillars of American life. That is why the financial, military and government were all targetted in this attack. It had to be so outrageous that no one in the nation would second guess what ever the administration did, and no one did just that.
