Yes. PISANO, exactly.

Y'all need to get this through your heads 9/11 was a FAILED attack.

They tried to take down the world's economy at the World Trade Center. They FAILED.
They tried to kill 50,000 people in those buildings. They FAILED.

They tried to destroy our Military Command structure at the Pentagon. They FAILED.

They tried to destroy our central government with FLT 93. They FAILED.

Only God, Satan/allah, and OBL know exactly what else they failed at, but us mere mortals know one thing: They FAILED.

Losers!

I agree with your thoughts. It was in essence a failure. They expected 50,000 to be killed in NY and all the major government buildings in DC to be destroyed.

But for the Grace of God, they would have succeeded. And pondering the entire matter, we are the only nation on earth that is strong enough and brave enough to take on this monstrous enemy. The cowardness and weakness of other nations was vividly projected.

We were tested during the Clinton Administration. Bubba did nothing and the monster grew bolder.

I thank God for President Bush. It was the right person at the right time. And thank you to our allies.

Yes.

And while the rest of us were trying to comprehend the events of that morning, those brave patriots aboard Flight 93 were fighting the first battle in the War. They sacrificed themselves to save countless others on the ground at the intended destination.

Each and every one of them should have been awarded the Congressional Medal or a comparable award for their valiant battle. Those brave patriots fought the Islamists that morning and defeated the Islamists by stopping them from completing their mission.
