A salute to FR: In the first 165 posts, there were a few comments that were off the mark, but FR’s educated and informed members also hit that nail exactly on the head. We still didn’t get bin Laden, yet, but FR identified this as terrorism, identified the ringleader, recognized that there might be more planes, and suggested that this is a military problem and not a law enforcement problem. Not bad at all for the first 32 minutes of a new world.
Nine years later, and still the libs don't get it... :-(
Reading this thread brings the memories of that day back so vividly - we must NEVER EVER forget what happened.
Prayers for our country.
so much has changed since then. for me personally and the country. Never Forget.
