Thanks for the flag, d14truth.

"Why Isn't Mecca a smoldering pile of ash, in a 110 foot deep crater, now ?? ??"

It's coming, soon, but don't be so anxious; the world won't be a very nice place when it happens, believe me.

Remember what Howard Rosenberg wrote:

"Let's roll!" Bush ended with a bang, shrewdly adopting the reported last words of Todd Beamer, one of the passengers said to have heroically fought terrorist hijackers on the jet that crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11.

Do you think, now that the words of the passengers yelling that they were going to stop the terrorists has been revealed on the black box, that Rosenberg will write in praise of their actions?

Not a chance.

I think we should all forward this article to him so he can read it over and over and over.

Good idea!

From Propaganda Machine Signs Media Enlistees: LA SLIME DOGS DISS "LET'S ROLL" HEROES

PARTIAL quote from [the Howard Rosenberg article in L.A. Times on 11/12/01]
Propaganda Machine Signs Media Enlistees:

...Propaganda of all kinds, from newscasters saluting themselves to national leaders lobbying the public, is the furniture of TV. Commercials start at the top these days, notably Bush's nationally televised speech Thursday that many commentators correctly labeled a "pep talk" by a president understandably selling wartime confidence and his economic stimulus package.

It was a masterfully designed sales pitch before a boisterous and supportive Atlanta audience of uniformed military, law-enforcement officers, firefighters, postal workers and health-care workers who spent as much time on their feet applauding as in their seats.

"Let's roll!" Bush ended with a bang, shrewdly adopting the reported last words of Todd Beamer, one of the passengers said to have heroically fought terrorist hijackers on the jet that crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11. - Howard Rosenberg (emphasis in RED is mine.)

And from Hugh's "Message of the Day" on 11/13/01 at www.HughHewitt.com:

Finally, if you missed yesterday's offensive, cynical, and anti-American diatribe by Los Angeles Times' columnist Howard Rosenberg, read it today. Most amazing is the insinuation by Rosenberg that Todd Beamer's now famous last known words --"Let's roll"-- were only "reported," and that he was only "said to" have heroically attacked the hijackers with other passengers. Of course Rosenberg also labeled President Bush's Atlanta speech as propaganda and a commercial, but the bile in Rosenberg's soul shows through when he closed his column with a taunting "let's roll." The viciousness of the piece reflects that Rosenberg has been nursing his wounds since his much reviled attack on the President two days after the September 11 attacks on America. The Los Angeles Times long ago lost any sense of a moral center, so don't expect the paper to fire the dolt, but you can fire the paper by canceling a subscription by calling (80) 252-9141. And you can fire off e-mails or calls to the paper's editor John Carroll at john.carroll@latimes.com or the paper's big boss, the CEO of the Tribune Corporation, John Madigan at master-webmaster@tribune.com. If you have already stopped taking the paper, let the folks at Macy's know that you will be shopping elsewhere this holiday season as you can't trust a store that trusts the Times. Macy's customer service can be reached at (800) 289-6229.

And from the L.A. Times article,

Howard Rosenberg's column appears Mondays and Fridays.

Thanks for this post. I'm breathless. Thank you again. I don't even know what to say.

Bump!

"The letters "INRI" are initials for the Latin title that Pontius Pilate had written over the head of Jesus Christ on the cross (John 19:19). Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire. The words were "Iesus Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm." Latin uses "I" instead of the English "J", and "V" instead of "U" (i.e., Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum). The English translation is "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

Thanks fer posting this, IC...whatever these passengers did before 9/11, I can't help but think they made their way to God's Kingdom for assisting in saving the lives of any number of innocents by sacrificing their own.

FReegards...MUD

The cultists should understand that if this happens again Mecca will be no more.

Gets my vote, but we'd have to fight every Muslim from here to Jakarta afterwards (which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing).

Actually, I think bin Laden might have wanted us to over-react and nuke something. I figure he was expecting Gore to be President, or to get some other kind of Clinton-like spastic response.

[RobFromGa]

I hope we all do and think you are right.

"...military is busy turning Telebunny wackos into smoldering piles of ash..."
===========================================

...rollin', rollin', rollin'......
Keep them doggies rollin'......Rock On !! !! !!

(appologies to Mr. Frankie Lane)

[Angelique]

I admit that I am a pianist, but my first song on the clarinet was the Marine Corps Hymn. Is it not correct that there is a bar about the cassons go rolling along?

[Alabama_Wild_Man]

"...It's coming, soon..."

____________________________________________

I hope so....
It's just that when I read that phrase of "When this (Flight 93) Happens again", that was more than I could stand.

Sounded a bit too much like Herr Klinton - - 'You do that just one more time....and you'll see what happens'.

We had 8 years too much of that, already.

Mecca should've been glazed and paved over, by now.

[Carolinamom]

Thanks for the ping, COB1. I gladly signed the petition. We should ALWAYS remember these heroic Americans.

[!1776!]

To the hero's: I will never forget your sacrifice, and will make sure my children someday understand and honor just how much your actions meant.

[Robert Lomax]

BUMP

[lonevoice]

I lost it at the Lord's Prayer.

Me too. Followed by the 23rd Psalm. My heart is breaking and filling with pride at the same time. What a loss to us ALL that these heros no longer walk among us.

[rightofrush]

Anyone besides me think that there was a reason why the 2nd plane to hit the WTC hit it off center?
Those on board must have seen the first plane crash into the WTC, and I think there was an attempt by them to storm the cockpit. They may have been partially successful.

Reflective people may wonder why the the 2nd impact, off center, with the fire ball outside the building, caused the first collapse.

[EmmaPeel]

Thank you for posting this. Heroes, all. Unbelieveable heroes. We will NEVER forget their sacrifice. God bless them and their families. God Bless America.

Right church, wrong pew! Here is a link to the official history of the Marine Corps Hymn.
It is the ARMY that has caissions. From http://www.objectivehappiness.com/twoworlds/slideshow/2.htm:

U.S. Army Anthem
(The Caissons Go Rolling Along)
Words and Music by Major Edmund L. Gruber - 1907

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

In the storm, in the night,
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear,
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Was it high, was it low,
Where the hell did that one go?
As those Caissons go rolling along
Was it left, was it right,
Now we won't get home tonight
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
