Donald Rumsfeld Says No Plane Wreckage at Pentagon 9/11/11

CBS has done a fantastic job of not re-airing the footage of Donald Rumsfeld at the 10th anniversary of the 911 attacks Donald Rumsfeld voluntarily discloses that as he walked out of the pentagon there were only “tiny shards of metal debris and nothing resembling an airplane crash”.

Lamestream media “CBS” posted the following story on thie site which shows nearly all of the other interviews in full video form with the exception of the interview with Donald Rumsfeld.  Not one sentence of the recapulation of CBS includes the most interesting part of the interview.  The part where Rumsfeld himself says” There was nothing resembling airplane wreckage at the pentagon crash site on 911 2001.

INTERVIEW WITH FORMER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE DONALD RUMSFELD AT GROUND ZERO

BOB SCHIEFFER: On that day, 40 were killed in a thwarted attack in Shanksville, PA and 184 were killed when another plane plowed into the Pentagon. Donald Rumsfeld was sitting at his desk at the Pentagon when the plane struck…

DONALD RUMSFELD…..the building shook at the Pentagon. And– and it– we had been hit and I didn’t know if it was a bomb or an airplane or what. So I went out of my office and ran down the hall until the smoke was so bad that you couldn’t get any farther and– and went downstairs and outside and there on the apron outside the Pentagon were the– were just thousands of pieces of metal. Small pieces. Not big chunks of an airplane.

BOB SCHIEFFER: Well, I mean– I– if I remember, you actually helped– some of the first responders to get people on the gurneys and–

DONALD RUMSFELD: Well, at that point the first responders hadn’t gotten there. These were just people from the Pentagon who came out and started helping and bringing people out of the burning building. And the flames were leaping up and the smoke. And– and at that moment I just gave somebody a hand and– and then when the first responders did come in I went back to my office and got about my business.

BOB SCHIEFFER: I thought one of the more interesting things is you did not close down the Pentagon that day. Why was that?

DONALD RUMSFELD: It was clear they had hit the seat of economic power in New York and the seat of military power of the United States in Washington. And another plane of course was probably gonna try to hit the seat of political power in the White House or the Congress. And I just made a decision that when the fire Marshall said evacuate the building, I said, “No, get the non-essential personnel out of there and– and– we’ll leave it open.” I didn’t wanna– I don’t want the world to think that a group of terrorists could shut down the U.S. Department of Defense.
