Read it again. One of the terrorists had a bomb strapped to his chest according to Beamer.

This doesn't mean that there WAS a bomb -- it only means that the terrorists SAID they had a bomb.

We all have a job to do. We all know what to do. Let's roll.

[smorgle]

Very similar to a statement by -- jeeze, I'm not sure, but maybe Whittaker Chambers -- that all men are endowed with the capacity for greatness/heroic action but not all are called upon to demonstrate it.

While we honor our proven heroes, we must not underestimate ourselves. If called upon, we will give our best; if necessary, our all. Keep faith and trust God to give every grace needed at any moment.

Just think, if we live right, one day we'll meet the heroes of September 11 face to face.

C.T. = "Conspiracy Theorist"

Michael Rivero was the foremost C.T. on FR. He recently posted a long diatribe accusing the U.S. Government of staging the attack on the WTC and Pentagon in order to bring on the NWO.

He doesn't play in our sand-box any longer.

[Illbay]

True, but that wasn't what prompted my remark.

FWIW, do you really think that a gaggle of terrorists that had every intention of putting that plane into the White House or the Capitol Building or some target such as that, really would flinch at using a REAL bomb?

There was a good special on CNN (3 weeks ago tonight) on how they won't let females of any age attend school. They are all in poverty etc.

It's going to be a real shame when American GI's take all the cute ones and marry them. Maybe some of the lucky ones will see at least some nice Western-style living in their lifetimes.

Taliban loses on all counts!

Now THAT's real CT'ing! Sheesh... I don't know, we should give people like that a little room all for themselves. Let them discuss the grassy knool, did we really land on the moon, Site 51, and now the US's arranged attack on the WTC and Pentagon. fascinating to watch ... dumb, but fascinating.

These little children will not have a father but they will have a magnificent mother which is probably more important. She is entirely correct and an example of the mothers of ancient Rome or Sparta. Their father's heroism will give them an example few of us are fortunate to have.

This had to be an inside job. I can see getting the plastic boxcutters with razor blade edges through security. A razor blade will not set off the detector. But a bomb? These guys had help from the inside. Some one or ones let them on.

[WVNan]

For all the bomb vs no bomb postees. I remember reading a few days ago about an eye witness. A farmer's wife hanging out laundry saw the plane fly over too low, heard a loud boom and then the plane did a swan dive and crashed.

The boys in the transport planes are proably getting out the Limp Bizkit CD's right now to keep on ROLLING!!

My question is, which track? Track 6 (Air Raid), or Track 14 (Urban Assault)?

My vote's for Track 6. :)

[Moonlight Graham]

Air Raid is fine by me for now.

[Texasforever]

These men should be given the civilian version of the Congressional Medal of Honor..

Sorry, not enough. Hell Jimmy Carter was awarded that. NO, Congress should make an exception and award them the real thing, the CMOH. They were the first "soldiers" in this war and should be honored as such.

WRT the lives of women in Afganistan- while checking the CIA fact pages on countries today I was stunned to discover that there are more men than women in Afganistan in every age group. In advanced countries more boys are born 1.05/1.0 but by about the age of 6 the ratio changes and becomes increasingly in favor of women.

For this to be so different in Afgan. shows that women there have an incrediblely hard life even without the idiots in the Taliban. This lack of female influence is shown by the lack of civilization that the country exhibits.

Another interesting note is that it has 0 sq. miles of water. Incredible.

[FreeLibertarian]

Yep, that is also possible. Still, to attack people armed with razors and while you also believe they have a bomb in a hi-jacked plane they intend to crash is definitely a Hobbesian choice.

The passengers of that flight deserve the Medal of Freedom. I suspect they will be just the first of many in this War. (I wish someone would come up with a name other than "America's New War")

Well, it seems to me that it wouldn't be consistent with their objective.

Also, I actually believe that bringing a bomb onto a plane is something that our current security measures would probably prevent.

It's officially Operation Noble Eagle
