Honor the victims, find Osama

The issue: Four years since the terrorist attacks

Our view: Part of the 9/11 healing process is bringing bin Laden to justice.

Four years ago, our nation was changed forever on this day.

This year, for the first time since those horrific terrorist attacks, we feel as if the nation is finally starting to heal - events and activities are scheduled for this day without nearly the anxiety felt in 2002, 2003 and even 2004.

But even though it's important to heal - and to focus on a more recent human tragedy in the Gulf - we can't ever forget what happened on that crisp morning in New York, Washington, D.C., and in a Pennsylvania field, a man whose last words were "Let's Roll" died just after he heroically led a failed attempt to regain control of the doomed airplane.

Today, we cherish the memory of those who died and honor those who perished trying to save these most innocent victims of terror.

We can't forget what happened four years ago, and that's what makes the fact that the evil mastermind of the attacks remains at large such a travesty.

We've spent four years and in the neighborhood of $400 billion on the "war on terror," so far, yet the man who did this to us is still on the loose.

We owe it to the victims' families and to the nation to hunt down Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.

I have no idea. I'm just explaining what zot means, since you asked.

Note: when I said "you" in the previous post, I meant it as an informal generic reference, not a specific reference to your person.

make the move to DU where you belong"""

I don't think DU people care about having the murderer Osama captured and executed. Leftists don't believe in the death penalty and they tend not to believe in holding murderers accountable for their crimes. I'm a conservative - and I want the murderer Osama punished (with execution). The blood of his victims cries out.

For all we know, OBL is dead in a mountain hole somewhere. Al Queda probably wouldn't want us to know. Keeps us jittery.

The options aren't good, the best thing we can do would be to get spies into Afghanistan and Syria.

The easiest would be to simply give the Syrian government 20 billion to pick up Zarqawi and the ISI 20 billion to pick up Bin Laden, but I have real trouble making such a deal with the devil.

Got a list of cities you want to nuke or firebomb? I think that was part of the process of getting those dudes in Tokyo and Berlin, and we knew where they were. We also had 16 million or so citizens under arms, out of a population of 133 million. You got plans to enlist 32 million folks now?

Since OBL is in hiding...... Should we halt the assault against the Terrorist?

Capturing OBL will not end the threats we face in this global war Slick.

Paul Begala would be very proud of the advances he has made with you, I consider you the weakest link and.... I frankly, find you void of intellect

Heres some clues ole CB might put to use.....

Mohammed's birth is celebrated on the 11th day of the 9th month

September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.

119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11.

Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11.

The number of stories is 110 (2x) 110 - 110
Remember that the zero "0" is not a number, so we have 11:11

The number of Tower windows = 21,800 2+1+8+0+0 = 11

The third building #7 to fall had 47 stories = 4+7=11

The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11

American Airlines number1-800-245-0999

1+8+0+0+2+4+5+0+9+9+9=47 = 11

State of New York - The 11th State added to the Union

New York City - 11 Letters

Afghanistan - 11 Letters

The Pentagon - 11 Letters

Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters
(convicted of orchestrating the bombing attack on the WTC in 1993.
He is a blind man.
He was a Muslim teacher in a mosque)

If you annagram 'Osama bin Laden' you get.... "A blind Man O sea"....
'Man o sea' is spanish for..."a man that is"
If you say it...'A Man o sea blind' it means... 'A man that is blind'
If you put in "a man o sea blind" into a language translator
it gives you back... ' to the man that is blind'
Since Osama bin Laden means 'A man that is blind'
you have 'the blind man leading the blind'

George W. Bush - 11 Letters

Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11

Flight 11 had 11 crew members

Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11

On Friday 9-13-2001, President George W. Bush went to the WTC to talk with and thank the Firefighters, rescuers, and police officers who have given their time and hearts tirelessly 24 hours a day since the horrible tragedy. President Bush stood on top of a pile of rubble with a firefighter whose helmet was numbered 164.
1+6+4 = 11

The train which was stopped and two suspected terrorist arrested near San Antonio, Texas was #121 = 11 x 11

The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11 by
American Airlines or AA - A=1st letter in alphabet so we have again 11:11

The house where the terrorist are believed to have lived had # 10001
(don't count the zeros)

Flight 11, 93, 175, 77 -

If these numbers are broken down, 11 actually remains the same in numerology,
93 becomes 12, 175 becomes 13 and 77 becomes 14. 11 - 12 - 13 - 14
Broken down again and you have 2 - 3 = 4 - 5.
Add them all up and break them all down!

11 + 93 + 175 + 77 = 356 = 14 = 5

11 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 50 = 5

2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14 = 5

Twin Towers =11 + Flight 11 + September, 11th = 33

The number "33" is linked to Freemasonry.


Gott be an answer in there as to wheres waldo errr Usama.....:o)

Sorry, but Bin Laden died 4 years ago. He hasn't even been Photoshopped holding the NY Times with a phony September 11th headline on its cover...

The way to deal with Hirohito and Hitler was to dismantle their ability to wage war. We have to do the same thing with al-Qaeda. We need to cut off their finances from the Arab countries like the Saudi kingdom and then we need to make it so that regimes like Syria wouldn't even think about harboring al-Qaeda. And, while we are doing that we need to stay on the hunt. Eventually, when Zarqawi and Bin Laden's networks fall apart we will get them.

No arguement here. My only comment was that catching OBL is a different situation than the WW-II leaders were to catch or put to justice.

I'm still a bit new to this, but based on my experience "in before the zot" refers to a disingenuous or provocative post which is meant to agitate FReeper.

In essence, the motivation for the poster is not to acquire truth, but to turn the discussion around forcing a Freeper to contradict himself. It's a kind of "bait and switch" maneuver so often as a liberal strategy to deflect debate from issues of merit.

"The zot" refers to being the first FReeper to uncover the poster as a troll or a charlatan - the first to get in before the lightning strikes. After this lot's of funny and creative pics come along with viking kitties, etc. I still don't know what this stuff is about or what the context is. I just figure it's either an inside joke or some piece of esoteric humor that I don't really understand. Still I laugh when they roll out the Viking Kitties.

I have very little vice in my life. But laughing at FReeper toasting a liberal troll is one of them.

I'm not quite certain this post is a particularly good example of "zot". It's one of those things you just gotta experience for yourself. Just let go and experience the power of the zot.

So, old-timers, how was that for an explanation?

Ignore him, He thinks the world should quit turning until OBL is captured..... Funny thing is..... That's the same reasoning Nancy Pelosi uses to protest the Iraq War

Didn't you say I'd "been here long enough"?? I took that to mean it's time I left freerepublic. Maybe that's not what you meant. If not, sorry for misinterpreting
