- My thoughts on this video hang on a word:
"Iron."
Bid Ladin's daddy owned a large construction firm. Osama worked for him
for a few years. He knows that buildings aren't built with
"iron."
The proper term is "steel." There are some folks, older
Americans
mostly, who call these structural members "iron." But that term,
when applied to building members, is bordering on obsolescence. Bin Ladin
just isn't old enough to have learned the wrong word.
-
- At first I thought it might have lost something in
translation.
Then I realized that the arabs pretty much invented steel, and that the
term "Damascus" still describes a forging process for steel.
I'm pretty sure that they'd have a word for "steel," just as
we do, and that it should have come out in translation. It didn't.
-
- There's something funny going on here. A construction
man his age just wouldn't call it "iron." Maybe the translators
screwed it up, mistranslating the term into "iron" instead of
"steel." But then what would that say of their abilities
regarding
everything else stated? If bin Ladin were truely the "mastermind"
behind the attack, he'd have said things far more "technical"
than he did, regarding the plastic (deformation) points of steel under
fire. He'd have calculated them. Nor do I think that a construction man
would have expressed surprise at the total collapse of the
structures.
-
- Anybody else notice that he didn't have a word to say
about the Pentagon; he said nothing about the plane that crashed in Penna.
Gee, I'd bet those are classified subjects, tho. So, Osama didn't mention
them . . . How nice that he spoke only to subjects that wouldn't violate
the national security, eh? Nice? Naaaaaw - it's quite patriotic!
