(1) Yep.
(2) Yep. It's taking our "experts" weeks to find out who did what and how to respond. Those "average" Americans had minutes -- 18 or 20 minutes? -- to figure out what had happened, what was going to happen, and what to do about it. And they did it. There are no words to describe the hearts and souls and minds of those people. They were Americans. That word says it all.
(3) Just before I sat down to type this, CNN did a long story about how the Government now reports that "Infinite Justice" isn't really going to be the name of the middle east campaign, that it was leaked prematurely. CNN went on to explain that the phrase offends Muslims because only Allah can dispense infinite justice. So the Government is going to change the name of its war...
Our leaders are changing the name of the coming war to avoid offending the people our soldiers are going over to kill. Our leaders are changing the name of the coming war to avoid offending the people who incited the terrorists to come over here and murder thousands of innocent Americans.
Are these "leaders" worthy of the people from that Pennsylvania flight?! Are these "leaders" worthy of the soldiers who will go fight and die carrying out their orders?! Are these "leaders" worthy of this country?!
Some one, some how, needs to do an Oliver Cromwell and clean out DC... Mark W.
