I haven't gotten through this whole thread, but I think the dems MAY be trying to say that the heros did in fact take control of the plane only to be then shot done on orders from Bush.
This is the only scenario that would be truly horrific.
It's called "Democrat for a Day." Player one comes up with a negative event, such as a company going bankrupt, a dog getting sick on a car ride, whatever. All other players then write on an index card how that event can be blamed on President Bush. Player one then reads off the cards, and each player votes for the explanation that best captures the Democrat's way of thinking, with no one allowed to vote for their own explanation.
Scores are automatically doubled if the players can create an explanation that shows that President Bush was not neglectful, but actually malicious.
Here's an example of how the game might be played:
The event "Cousin Floyd's Dog dying at the age of 17."
Explanation #1: "In his many speeches, Bush has not once explained the need for better veteranary medicine, instead spending his time waging a war against the poorest people on earth to cover up the fact he stole the election. Like most Republicans, Bush doesn't care about dogs, since they aren't campaign donors." (This gets only single credit, since it's only the uncaring angle.)
Explanation #2: "Bill Clinton has been remarkably silent in his criticism of President Bush. Considering Clinton understands better than anyone else how Bush is destroying the nation, it's obvious that Clinton has been intimidated into silence. The death of Clinton's dog Buddy is no coincidence. Note how it happened right when Bush was trying to get support for the war. Bush realized, of course, that if the truth ever came to light, millions of dog owners would never vote Republican again. To reduce possible damage to the Republican party, Bush decided to reduce the number of dog owners in the country as much as possible. Because of watchdogs like Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky, he realized he couldn't get away with killing the owners (yet), but he could kill the dogs. Hundreds of dogs die in this country ever day. It's time the gutless press persued the logical explanation." (Maliciousness implied. Double credit.)
Anyway, have fun!
Did not the government allow the relatives of the people on the flight to hear the cockpit flight recording??????????????????????????????????????????
Yes it did with conditions
I personally saw several news reports interviewing those people.
What you are accusing them all of: a vast conspiracy to help cover the governments arse? All those people who lost loved ones covering up for George Bush. Yeah right.
(snip snicker)
Stick that (snicker) of yours in your tin foil hat
That was a poor choice of words. All of it is horrific. But it would bring an extra jolt to think that the plane was under control and safe and then shot down.
We know that the rumors of 93 being shot down have been out there for months. And the story went nowhere because everyone knew that if it were shot down, it was necessary. So, now the dems are trying this.
When the Senate blamed GW for 9-11 the first time, the public howled and they pulled back...for a few days, then repeated the performance...essentially saying "forget you, America." What shocked me was the press's...FoxNews'.. willingness to carry the DNC propaganda, the disregard for truth with our enemies watching.
How low will these Dems. go? They would frighten children, seniors, enslave the poor with rhetoric of hate and envy + impossible promises of a free lunch, corrupt our children, break up our families and replace God with themselves, undermine our President and work to divide our nation during wartime for partisan political purposes. What is lower? Maybe the press's over 50-year cover-up and historical revisionism, and the resulting miseducation and anti-Americanism of much of the world's population.
After reading about the militant Muslim nuts, the Dems. appeared almost decent. Burying the hatchet to fight as a unified nation against common enemies was common sense, I thought.. Now, I don't know. What do we do when our own liberalized institutions work against the USA and use their God-given (and taxpayer/American funded) resources to aid our enemies?
What if the event actually transpires and the Democrats actually spin it as predicted?
It is doubtful that the heroes could have gotten and kept control of the plane. Even if some of the passengers had managed to get control of the cockpit briefly, the hijackers in the back of the plane would have likely been able to take it back. The real question in my mind is whether the hijackers crashed the plane to prevent the passengers from regaining control, or whether a passenger forced an unrecoverable dive to prevent the terrorists from regaining control.
Who told you?
And only libs could raise this issue while at the same time insisting the pilots shouldn't be armed and instead rely on having to shoot down any future hijacked flights.
All the more reason not to let them in power again - think of the kind of people who would be in charge and how hard it would be to get rid of that kind of person - the nationwide vote fraud of November 2000 was just a taste.
Stalin, Beria, Goebels and Castro, even in their, salid days could not have come up with such a load of CR&P.
So the entire human race was defenseless prior to the invention of gun powder?
Many many more lives probably were saved by that plane going down.
I wish the WTC planes had been shot down.
