War Comes to America

September 12, 2001 -- And now war has come to America.

Unambiguous war.

Before yesterday, the shadowy thugs who engineered death and destruction for political purposes were playing for small stakes.

There was the first World Trade Center bombing.

There was the murder of U.S. servicemen in Saudi Arabia - at Khobar Towers, and before that in Bahrain.

[The Raven]

And get those damn liberals off of the tube. They haven't been right about anything - so why listen to them?

This is not the time to get bogged down in figuring out how they breached security or US finger pointing. Let's point our fingers "Over There"

[The Raven]

Fox just reported we intercepted cell phone calls from Bin Laden's men confirming the attack. (The evidence some folks desire)

"War Comes to America"

WAR MUST GO TO THE TERRORIST MOSLEM NATIONS

[gunnedah]

Send me your tired, your weak and your terrorist!

[dagtaggart]

I think our response should be to bomb to smithereeeeeens any country that is/was harboring terrorist groups that felt the need to issue a denial yesterday. This is an opportunity to wipe out the main terrorist orgs around the planet. Let's get started.

[xinga]

Evidence? Evidence? We don't need no stinking evidence. Just "aiding and helping" the enemy is all I need. Sorry, but your to weak on them.

[monocle]

The US should officially declare this tragedy an act of war and declare war on all terrorist groups. This series of acts would remove these groups from our justice system where proof of beyond a reasonable doubt is required. All terrorist groups should be subject to military attack.

[xinga]

Arrgg, I ment to say "you're too weak on them". At least I got the "week" wight. I mean wriht. I mean... oh heck, you no wat i men.

[copycat]

One armed American on any hijacked plane could have saved hundreds or thousands of lives.

Once again we see that terrorists will attack the weak...children in school, unarmed workers, and air travellers who are guaranteed to be unarmed.

Government cannot protect all the people...the people have to be allowed to protect themselves.

[Vinnie]

The US should officially declare this tragedy an act of war and declare war on all terrorist groups.

As it now stands, terrorists attacks of this type are roundly condemned. If we offically declare war, will it legitimize their deeds? After all, all is fair......

Just wondering

[BurkeanCyclist]

In each instance, the response - to the extent that there was a response - was almost wholly legalistic.

Congress should declare that effective 8:45 EDT September 11, a state of war exists between the US and the international terrorist apparatus.

Then, when we catch their accomplices in this country, they should be tried not by civilian courts according to the civil laws, but by military tribunals according to the laws of war.

[SullaFelix]

The Trade Center and the Pentagon were hit for symbolic reasons. The scum dancing around the streets are responding to this symbolism. We need a symbolic response.

I ask myself what the Romans would have done in a situation like this. When they finished off Carthage at the battle of Zama, they killed 450 thousand of the half million inhabitants, sold the 50 thousand remaining into slavery in the far corners of the world, and sowed the fields of Carthage with salt so nothing would ever grow there again.

Our response MUST be as symbolically memorable to the Arab world, or these attacks will continue. Our response must be calculated not only for retribution (which is very necessary) but also to deter any future action. So what to do.

First, stop all foreign aid to every Arab country (and maybe give it to Israel instead!). Kick every Palestinian out of Israel (and every non-citizen Arab out of the U.S. -- Let the Supreme Court find this to be illegal five years from now after they are all gone).

Second, bomb every known terrorist base, training center, etc. that American intelligence knows about, but that we haven't bombed to date because we might offend the international community.

Third, send a couple of cruise missiles into crowds of celebratory arabs in Middle Eastern Capitals.

Fourth, NUKE all arab military targets worldwide. Maybe NUKE their airports as well. If they can't use modern aviation responsibly, they shouldn't be allowed to fly at all.

Fifth, if you really want to make a statement that will stop all of this bullshit once and for all...

NUKE Mecca. Trust me, this shit would end.

PRESIDENT BUSH SPEECH 09-11-01 PARAPHRASED

We will identify who did this action. We will locate them. We will find out what government and country permits them to exist, either through direct or indirect support.

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.

Not me....I'm for the netron bomb plan

Correction
>>you're too weak on them

Not me....I'm for the neutron bomb plan

[The Raven]

too weak of a response.

[Capt.YankeeMike]

I am sorry to report, but here is what will happen.... nothing. repeat. nothing will be done . OSL will be hidden away in some former russian territory. the time for response has already passed...we will do nothing, repeat, nothing. oh, some low level types might go to jail here in the us. but the masterminds?? the moslem countries? nothing repeat nothing will be done. they will continue to hold our scrotums (do we still have those? doubtful) to the fire over oil, because the environazis wont let us drill on US soil. Afganistan, libya, iran, iraq etc should have been decimated last night. were they? no....we will founder about, find a little trail to small pawns of the organization that did this, then do nothing. repeat, nothing will happen. comprende?
