Hullo, VdS- thanks for the links. I hope you & yours are OK- down here in the South, everything's normal, except people are madder than hopping Hell.

Time will tell the tale, but I'm thinking the people who committed this atrocity will curse the day they thought of it- an angry America is a fearsome thing....

Thank you, backhoe.

Agreed.

BTTT

Here's my poll. My mom spent the entire day in tears. I did not even want to turn on the TV set. We listened to the radio. It was a very dramatic way my mom first heard it. She heard a woman cussing like a sailor in a public building. Strangers heard my car radio and walked up to me to talk about it. An elderly lady I never saw before offered me a chance to see it on her TV set. When I first heard it, thought it was some kind of political joke for about one minute. I wanted to stay somewhat objective so refused to look at the TV. Relying solely on the radio, I failed to catch the impact of the gloating Islamics. And that is why most Americans want Anti-American Islamic civilians to die. I agree now that I understand.

Dramatic for us. And we weren't even close to anything.

Finally back! FYI, & FWIW--

They mention 20,000-30,000 casualties..... if so, that's the end of the "Mid-East 'Peace Process,'" Hillary's ambitions, and a few more things....

Bump!

Thanks- it's a bloody mess, isn't it?

We are at war with a subtle, determined, devious enemy. There is a fair likelihood that Osama bin Laden didn't mastermind this attack alone, that it was mastermind at least in part from Libya or Iraq, and Osama is their cover, to divert attention from the real cell of rot. Yousef, who headed the prep for the first WTC bombing that failed, is likely an Iraqi deep cover agent whose alternate identity of Karim is fabricated, so we must be very thorough because these terrorists may have also left false trails. We must be sure from where this originated, and then be thorough in our annihilating retaliation. Spitting cruise missiles into the Afghan desert or a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant may please the kneejerk quarterbacks, but it is a luxury we can no longer afford.

We are in a war that will bring many more casualties in America, make no mistake about that. To reduce the potential for casualties after we make our initial strike, we must prepare for the coming struggle against an enemy determined to slaughter innocent Americans and an enemy who believes they will be blessed if they die killing innocent Americans ... to these hate-filled fanatics, there are no innocent Americans. And make no mistake here also, when the fire comes from the sky upon these terrorists, it will be the American people sending those strikes and it will be the American people who will receive the outrage that follows. We are not prepared for that and if we are to be successful against this evil that has slaughtered so many of our fellow Americans, we must get ready, quickly, and steel ourselves for the long haul against these bastards.

There is much talk of the greatest generation ... their war lasted just at five years, but it was in fixed, pitched battles overseas. Our battles will be fought in airports, on train lines, in banks and hotels, and yes, right in the very neighborhoods we considered safe just three days ago. Targets of opportunity are everywhere in this vast land, and they're not all in the blue zones around biggest cities. This war will be, in part, fought in the heartland of America. We are not yet ready for that. Until we are at least preparing for that level of conflict, prepared to deal with catastrophic evil such as biological and chemical devastation, we are not ready to make our initial strike, our devastating first blow at the enemy, whomever that turns out to be.

When the deviant, bill clinton, fired off missiles at targets he knew would not be bloody in the main, he did nothing but steel our enemy. Now, we must become the hammer that beats that steel into oblivion. Recriminations will come soon enough, and I will be one of the first to point out the complicity of the whole Lott of pubbies who would not stand up for what is right ... but now is the time to prepare for war. May God grant us the determination to see this through, now, before it is beyond our capabilities to deal with it.

Great post, Marvin. Thank you.
