NBC REPORTING THAT THE HIJACKERS TOLD THE PEOPLE THEY WERE GOING TO CRASH INTO THE CAPTIAL BUILDING OR WHITEHOUSE..GUY ON CELL TOLD HIS WIFE "We are going to stop them but will probaly die...I Love you"
That is exactly what I told my wife I would hope that I would have the courgage to do in that situation. I could not imagine just sitting back waiting to die while letting these evil peole kill hundreds or thousands more.
Tom Burnet deserves the Medal of Honor.
I know that, despite all the faults we have as Americans, that God loves this country and her people, and that these men and women, along with the brave firefighters, policemen, emts, and innocent victims are safely in His arms now.
Unfortunately, it is going to be up to the rest of us to take names and send the bottom feeding scumbags who did this straight to hell.
Valor 1st & God bless the valient!!!!
You wept for the saving of a building--but not the massive loss of life? Get your priorities in order, buddy.
God Bless

We will consider any country that helps them, even if it is through inaction, to be associated with these individuals. This was an act of WAR. We Americans will treat this as WAR.
The individuals whom did this directed this operation from a patch of land. Every patch of land is defined by a country. Once we identify that country, that country will experience the entire consequences of our anger. We will engage that country and the inhabitants of that country as enimies of the United States.
Because the United States is a member of NATO, all NATO allies are bound to participate with the United States against this country. If Congress determines that a state of war exists, the American people will support full operational activation of the nuclear weapons at our disposal.
The Premier of Russia has conviened with the President and has agreed to support the United States actions without question.
Is this shocking? haven't you heard this? Perhaps it is because you (any one not understanding the rage we Americans feel) do not understand the real consequences of this action. I don't know one American, not one, (and I live in Boston - Liberal Mecca of the Nation) who does not support Nuclear confliguration.

I am curious about some of the reports I have heard about the plane that hit the Pentagon. rumors abound that it made a pass at the Capitol and White House but instead turned to an alternate target, the Pentagon. First, I am not certain that the Pentagon was an alternate target. Displaying the vulnurability of our military by hitting the Pentagon has made a significant impact in terms of shock value, which is the goal of these kinds of attacks. There was time, before the Pentagon crash, for scrambled fighters to reach DC from Andrews. I am wondering if ACAP were in place over the WH, which is restricted airspace and a clearer firing mission, and if that is what caused the plane to divert? I wouldn't even call it a theory, just an interesting question I'd like to see answered.
Amen brother. God bless these heroes!
One thing working in their favour was that from the maps shown on TV the guys on this flight had the most time to react. From reports their reaction was one of the bravest things I have every heard of.
If given more time maybe the passengers on the other flights could have stopped these terrible attacks.
God bless them all!
If you want to live in a free country surrounded by enemies, tragedies like yesterday WILL occur, no matter how vigilant our intelligence services are. I'm proud of how our Representatives have responded from our President all the way down to that lowest of life forms, Diane Feinswein. (gotta call 'em as I see 'em, and she was right up front calling for a response so strong no one will ever try something like yesterday again)
If you truly love America, you would not be criticizing today, you would be mourning these murdered citizens, thanking God that more did not die and honoring these brave men and women that sacrificed their lives for the ideal that is our Nation.
I'm hitting the abuse button (something I've never done before) in hopes that Jim will force you to change your screen name - you don't deserve it and you have dishonored everything the word "Patriot" stands for by your posts.
My grandfather, who was a civil engineer in Poland during WWII, was shot by the Nazis for refusing to help them rebuild a bridge destroyed by the Polish underground. His heroism and memory will live on for generations in our family. His bravery is a daily inspiration for me, 45 years later.
Mr. Barnett will be remembered in the same way by his family for generations to come. Although his children will no longer have a father, they have a memory and honor that can never be taken away.
I doubt that the pond scum that carried this out were capable of loving. You are a disgrace to America , with your terrrorist sympathy. Get out now!
