CALM DOWN-We are at War.Now How do we decide who to fight and how to fight
Just an ole combat veteran | now | me

Posted on 09/11/2001 7:50:32 AM PDT by A+Bert (Outta here)

War has been brought home to us in a very dramatic way. Television has a way of doing things with war that isn't reality.

God Bless America and may Bush do the right thing

This morning, some people are opening drawers long closed. They are puliing out tools they laid down, hoping not to pick them up again. They wait for the telephone to ring. Hoping once again this will be the last time. But human nature being what it is, they know it won't be. Not rusted....merely resting.

"I believe I heard the words, "Nuke 'em" coming out of the mouth of a Gore-voting, former Peace Corp, liberal, San Francisco-raised co-worker this morning."

That proves the old saying that a Conservative is a Liberal who's been mugged!

We should slap a moratorium on all immigration. Put troops on our borders. End all restrictions on domestic oil production. Build nuke plants. Take the chains off America. Within months of Pearl Harbor, we were on the offensive and the productive capacity of America unleased. We can do it again. We don't need to be buying 700,000 barrels of oil a month from Saddam. We don't need to be funding those who wish to destroy us.

First, the terrorist must be found and utterly destroyed, then we,ve got to kick that Satanic entity, the UN off of our soil forever, or eventually, America will be no more.

you might have something there.

When we the people endorsed and allowed our gov.org to murder innocent women and children by bombing them from thirty thousand feet I knew we would someday pay. This might not be serbian terriost's but if my family members died I would want revenge.So I expect more of this to happen and more often.

1) Pray. Pray for the victims of this terrible act. Pray for our country. Pray for your families.

2) Enough of buying oil from the arab nations. Start drilling for and buy oil here at home and from only friendly nations. It is the profits of the arab oil that goes to governments that in turn finances these terrorists. We might as well as have been importing and buying volkswagens while we were at war with Germany at the same time.

3) Build SDI. True, SDI would not have prevented an attack like this BUT China is in the process of selling terrorist states the technology of long range ballisitc missiles. They can't touch us now, but in the near future they will be and we need to be ready for that.

4) Waste the BASTARD nations that helped do/support this.

Let us hope that the response is military and not political, i.e. a promise to track them down and bring them here to give the OJ jury and the ACLU something new to do. Because this is what we've been doing up to now, not counting the aspirin factory bombings. I imagine that by the time the foreign terrorists now in US prisons are eligible for parole they will have earned the right to the green card and why, perhaps even US citizenship. Forgive my cynicism but we are now paying for pussyfooting with this vermin for the past several decades. It's time for a decisive military response now!

My heart is broken for those innocents killed,
Pray for our country
but, This will bring this country together in an instant!
Tommowor a cold deadly rage will settle over this country. IF this is an arab country(and I stress IF) we should turn it into a very large parking lot, Our responce should fill the world with dread. These people want terror....ok here's terror.

There will always be those 2% that have no loyalties whatsoever and they will always be outcasts wherever & whoever they are
They had better keep their heads down and their mouths shut.

Today Sept 11 2001 is one of those days where the country changes, tommorow when the sun raises it will be a very different country.

The most important thing to see now is whether President Bush's theology will support the right action.

I should also say those people were our friends who helped us in WWII. They were christians, Gods sons and daughters.I will stop short of saying we deserved it. I do feel that america has turned its back on God and perhaps is lifting the hand of protection that has prevented acts like this up to this point.

Second: vitrify the nation where it came from.

I understand the sentiment. However nations are made up of people, the vast majority of whom have nothing to say about what their govenrments do. To even speak out against the government may cause severe repercussions in most nations in this world. These people for the most part are just plain everyday folks, trying to get along and raise thier faimilies.

A better idea is to go after the people responsible and those who aided the acts. Simply nuking a nation is an insane act since 99.999999% of the people have nothing to do with the act.

Rarely watching the mainstream media news, I am almost more shocked by the coverage by whatever station is that of Katie Couric. The comments by her are that of a traitor. That entire coverage might as well be aired from those who attacked us!

Any nation that harbors terrorists are going to be very nervous.

I should hope way beyond nervous.

How about flat?
And after it's flat bomb the rubble.

I'd donate as much as possible, but I can't since I lived in Britain in 1979/1980 (the mad cow thing). Time to simply just "forget" about those trips and try anyway.
