It didn't. Look at the photo's again.
Where are the images of the plane that hit the Pentagon? Where is the wreckage? Where is all of the debris? Where is the twisted metal?
The debris was there. What they've done with the footage is anybody's guess.
Why did the third building collapse? What was in the third building?

Why was there a terrorist drill on that day?
Deep breath...
Probably because the government had recieved literally dozens of warnings as to a potential attack. The most notable of which is the Presidential Daily Briefing delivered on August 6th 2001 titled: "Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside United States". Incredibly, the New York Times later reports that Bush “breaks off from work early and spends most of the day fishing.” In other news on August 25th 2001 Bin Laden, according to ABC News, “When asked about his supporters, he says with a significant and knowing smile there is going to be a surprise to the United States.” during an interview.
In fact Mohammed Atta was based on the same street (Sheridan St. Hollywood, Florida) as a Mossad watch squad. Incidentally the same kind of watch squad who were later arrested for filming & celebrating in front of the burning towers. As was reported in Der Spiegel Mossad provided a list of potential terrorists, which included 4 of the 9/11 hijackers, to the US admin & CIA on August 23rd 2001. They were Nawaf Alhazmi, Khalid Almihdhar, Marwan Alshehhi, and Mohamed Atta. The warning list was not treated as particularly urgent by the CIA and the information was not passed on.
Mohammed Atta was later found to have recieved $100K from Saeed Shiekh, the paymaster of 9/11, Pakistani ISI operative & the man charged with the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl. Daniel Pearl was investigating links between Al-Queda, it's affiliates and the Pakistani ISI intelligence service.
Why, after all of our military spending, did the military do nothing?
Because Cheney told them to. As per Norman Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission stated they watched the third plane head into Washington on radar from the PEOC bunker. As the plane approached Cheney was asked by a junior "if the orders stood" whereupon Cheney sharply admonished the junior officer for asking. Hence you can assume that the Pentagon, the US militaries main building, is apparently guarded by nothing more than a freeway, some lawn and a curiously reticent Vice President.
Lots of things are popping over the radar right now. Especially as regards the Pakistani leader, Musharraf, and his remarkable ISI intelligence service. Whilst meeting various world leaders such as Bush, Blair and Hamid Karzai (a UNOCAL stooge the US put in charge of Afghanistan to expedite a certain pipeline) Musharraf revealed that he thinks Bin Laden is hiding out with his old heroin trading warlord buddy, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
Hekmatyar was the receipient of approx half of all weapons the CIA shipped there back in the '80's. Developed close ties with Bin Laden when the latter stayed in Peshawar - where he fronted MAK (Maktab al-Khidamar) which funnelled money, arms, and fighters from the outside world into the Afghan war. MAK, originally ran by Sheikh Abdullah Azzam (Bin Laden's mentor), was nurtured again by Pakistan’s ISI and was the CIA’s primary conduit for conducting the covert war against Moscow’s occupation. Hekmatyar has also been called “an ISI stooge and creation'.
Saeed Sheikh, again the paymaster of 9/11, had logistical and operational support from the ISI in Karachi and Islamabad. ISI also helped him form and operate the Jaish-e-Muhammed—Muhammed's Army—for his terrorist campaigns in Kashmir when he wasn't being seen frequently partying with Pakistani government leaders whilst wanted by the US. He worked with Ijaz Shah, a former ISI official in charge of handling two militant groups; Lt. Gen. Mohammed Aziz Khan, former deputy chief of the ISI in charge of relations with Jaish-e-Mohammed; and Brigadier Abdullah, a former ISI officer and was also well known to other senior ISI officers. He regularly travelled to Afghanistan and helped train new al-Qaeda recruits in ISI training camps there. Upon his eventual arrest for the kidnap and murder of the reporter Daniel Pearl Musharraf called for his trial to be held in secret pending a summary execution. He has now retracted that opinion and is blaming Khalid Sheik Mohammed, overall mastermind of 9/11 and another likely ISI agent, for that murder.
The really interesting dude however is the former head of the Pakistani ISI, one Mahmood Ahmed. He was the guy, un-named in ANY one of the numerous recent reports I might add, who met Richard Armitage in Washington after the attacks and was told that unless Pakistan started playing ball "they should prepare themselve to live in the stone age". American & Indian intelligence cite Mahmood Ahmed as the man who ordered Saeed Sheikh to wire Mohammed Atta the $100K.
