Let us consider, as I have stated elsewhere, that the definition of a missile is anything that can be projected to a target. I have seen city
ordinances that refer to flyers (paper advertisements placed on the windshields of cars) as missles. And let us consider that the audio of the
interview with Rumsfeld was garbled to the extent that some of his statement was inaudible and since we are accustomed to taking a grain of truth and
expanding beyond all recognition, reinterpret Rumsfeld's statement, to wit:
Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens as the missile to damage this
building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center.
Can we not recognize the irony in the statement by the Secretary of Defense who is known for his wit, when he speaks of hijackers using plastic knives
to hijack the aircraft filled with passengers and using those as missles to target the WTC and the Pentagon? Can we not see that the aircraft used in
the attacks were, in fact, missles, even though they were not designed or catagorized as such? Did God design rocks to be thrown or are they not
simply utilized particularly by Islamic extremists as weapons against the superior Isreali army?
Please, folks, let us deny ignorance not disseminate stupidity.
