Bush mentions use of explosives on 9/11

For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of plane attacks on building inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people.

He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping.

Sorry if this was posted anywhere else, but I didn't see it. And if it's not posted anywhere else, I am shocked it wasn't.

I dont see the point here ...bush seems to be saying they intercepted plans to target US buildings with explosives ...besides the unreasonable hatred towards buildings I dont see how this is out of the norm: they're terrorists, they terrorize (or at least plan to)

Um, duh, a plane full of jet fuel crashing into the side of a building is an explosive.

This is just like when Rumsfeld called them missiles and everyone got all clarkied.

An explosive is anything that explodes.
A missile is anything that flies through the air and does damage on impact.

I bet the English language wants its E to be capitalized!

Burn.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I consider the capitalization of some words to be entirely unecessary.

"English" is an adjective, not a pronoun.

I Disagree Entirely With That View.

"English" is an adjective, not a pronoun.

To be honest, I'm not sure what that means... That's one part of the English language I haven't quite gotten down. I just know that if I write about something from France, for example, it's French because it has to do with a nationality!
