Why Are Fake Truthers So Insistent on Claiming that AA77 Hit the Pentagon?

Submitted by gretavo on Tue, 2009-09-01 11:22.

In the vein of the discussion on "What is Behind Some Fake Truthers' Obsession With Pakistan?" I'd like to open up a discussion on the significance of the fake truthers' obsession with preserving the myth of AA77 being what caused the explosion at the Pentagon.  Absent any credible evidence that this is true--only the say so of the same people who say that building 7 and the twin towers were not felled with explosives, they denounce those who seek to keep the burden of proof on the OCT as "hurting the movement", and worse, participating in a psyop.  Why is maintaining that AA77 hit the Pentagon so crucial?  I offer a few possibilities to get the ball rolling:

  • It is the most obviously faked of the four flights and therefore an achilles heel of the hijacking myth
  • It implicates Ted Olson, the former solicitor general of the US, and his wife Barbara, in a fraud.
  • It suggests that the destruction of evidence of the "missing trillions" was deliberate.

I'm not sure these are the reasons, and I know there are other possibilities--what do you all think?
