TV show depicted plane crashed into WTC six months before 9/11

Bush, Condi, and various other flunkies of the administration said they had no idea planes would be used as weapons. Even if they didn't notice the various military exercises on the scenario, you'd think a couch potato like Bush might have seen this pilot for THE LONE GUNMAN six months before 9/11 on Fox.

Here's a screenshot of the World Trade Center from the cockpit of the airliner:




Or maybe they saw it but had a good reason not to mention it that was also given in the show:

The Cold War's over, John. But with no clear enemy to stockpile against, the arms market's flat. But bring down a fully loaded 727 into the middle of New York City and you'll find a dozen tin-pot dictators all over the world just clamoring to take responsibility, and begging to be smart-bombed.
There was a similar line in WAG THE DOG, when presidential PR fixer Robert De Niro is caught by the CIA faking a nuclear terrorist threat and war in Albania, he talks his way out of trouble by saying there is no war but his war, and without his war the weapons contractors, Pentagon, and CIA would be out of jobs. So they let him go on his way.

I actually saw that Lone Gunmen episode... distressingly freaky isn't it?? I also find it extremely interesting to note that W's baby brother Neil was put in charge of the security company the WTC used about 6 mos prior to those planes hitting the building. Things that make you go hhhmmmm????
