Imagine if someone had snapped a photo of Atta having lunch last year with a few moslem arabs who are still at large, and unknown?

Hang out with the liberals at the Middle Eastern restaurants - I did this with my girl friend and wish I had a camera at the time. Three very loud arrogant Middle Eastern guys came in all wearing new looking matching leather jackets. They all looked similar to the animals in FBI poster. A picture of this crew would be useful if one of them turned up on future FBI posters.

Middle Eastern restaurants ought to be a rich source of associations. Most customers are families and others that don't standout much. But the few that do really are obvious. If you want to find them, you have to go were they are.

I'm trying to imagine our government allowing foreigners from Germany and Japan to enter our country on green cards during the WWII. If we declared war, why are we allowing the enemy to walk among us? Why haven’t all non-citizens from terrorist harboring countries been told to leave?!

If we declared war...
Sigh...>>>one more time<<<...no formal "declaration of war" has been passed by Congress!
you do know what "Use of Military Force" is don't you.
SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.
(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
(b) War Powers Resolution Requirements-

(1) SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION- Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, the Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution.
(2) APPLICABILITY OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS- Nothing in this resolution supercedes any requirement of the War Powers Resolution.

SEC. 8. (a) Authority to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations wherein involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances shall not be inferred--
(1) from any provision of law (whether or not in effect before the date of the enactment of this joint resolution), including any provision contained in any appropriation Act, unless such provision specifically authorizes the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into such situations and stating that it is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of this joint resolution; or

SEC. 5. (b) Within sixty calendar days after a report is submitted or is required to be submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1), whichever is earlier, the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed Forces with respect to which such report was submitted (or required to be submitted), unless the Congress (1) has declared war or has enacted a specific authorization for such use of United States Armed Forces, (2) has extended by law such sixty-day period, or (3) is physically unable to meet as a result of an armed attack upon the United States. Such sixty-day period shall be extended for not more than an additional thirty days if the President determines and certifies to the Congress in writing that unavoidable military necessity respecting the safety of United States Armed Forces requires the continued use of such armed forces in the course of bringing about a prompt removal of such forces.

It is not the same thing, no matter how it might be twisted to be construed as such.
