Don't forget the significance of dates! Today is... 911

Dear Fellow Americans, I have read so many posts, with the opinion going to war. Yes, we have been attacked, the source, not really known, verified yet. And perhaps it will be many years later, when we are really told the truth. Just remember, Pearl Harbor, the USA didnt want to be involved in war....that was delibrate to involve us, to make Americans mad enough to join in the war. It was a delibrate action. And how many innocents died then? Including our own? And those innocents in other countries. War is not the answer, but probably what someone INTENDS. ...

Due to the attacks in New York and D.C. , there is a need for massive amounts of blood. Please concider donating a pint for your fellow American. To find a local blood center call your local hospital, or Red Cross.

This concerns United Flight 175, a Boeing 767, which was bound from Boston to Los Angeles. WLW is reporting that the plane has crashed, but no ID as to where. Also, Palestinian cowards are apparently in the streets celebrating the "success" of the attacks.

At this moment we could have attacks underway against terrorist organizations. The press will not report these attacks until they have succeeded. Be somewhat doubtful about what you hear from the press and what you read here on this website. There is a lot of inflamed statements regarding the attacks we have had in New York and Washington. Communications are disrupted in quite a few areas. Listening to the press on various channels it is obvious that they do not have coordinated reports. In your home areas, remain calm. The guy tailgating you in your car may have had 5 ...

The director of the World Trade Center said that up to 10,000 people could have been in each ...

Adm. Natter said the Navy is deploying ships to provide medical assistance for NYC & DC as well as " air defense". No further details.

Can someone please list the phone numbers of the airlines for families to call and find out about loved ones? Thanks.

AIN AL-HELWEH, Lebanon, Sept 11 (AFP) - Dozens of Palestinian refugees fired into the air with joy Tuesday at news of apparent anti-US terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, AFP correspondents witnessed. Guerrillas in military fatigues from various factions fired assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades into the air in the Ain al-Helweh refugee camp at the outskirts of the southern port city of Sidon, one correspondent said. Camp residents, some still in pyjamas, interrupted afternoon rests to rush down to the streets and fire assault rifles into the air, they said. At the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, ...

Steel and Fire and Stone Under attack. Mr. Derbyshire is also an NR contributing editor September 11, 2001 11:40 a.m.   I am writing this less than an hour after the U.S.A. was struck by what looks very much like a coordinated wave of terrorist attacks. Two planes, one said to have been hijacked, crashed into the World Trade Center, setting both towers on fire. From my front lawn here in Long Island, thirty miles away, I can see the smoke plume. Something similar seems to have happened at the Pentagon, and the latest news is of a fire ...

Mayor spoke at a press conference. The news cut in to the press conference while in progress, so I couldn't catch it all. Radio Announcer just said that Cleveland is having a partial evacuation of downtown, so something serious is happening.

All of what has been happening today, and the last few months, seems to be coming right out of some of Tom Clancy's novels, especially Debt of Honor and hopefully to be followed up by Executive Orders.

My wife and I just got back from our local hospital in Northeastern Ct where we went to donate blood. They are going to need lots of it. The Red Cross will be setting up blood banks shortly. We urge you all to help if you can. I know many of us would prefer to gear up and head toward Afghanistan but this is how we can help a little.By the way, my small community hospital is on alert to accept casualties. There are going to be even more casualties than we have been so far led to believe I ...

It was after the bombing a few years ago, On how they wanted to bring down the tower with that bombing. Then it went into different ways on how to do it including crashing a hijacked plane into one? I remember it a little.

Please post on going news events for all who do not have assess to a TV.

FReepers, whether you are a Buchanan supporter, Keyes supporter, Bush or Browne supporter, let's put our differences behind us. We are Americans first and we have been attacked. Now is the time to come together and support our leaders and pray that they make the best informed decisions.

Let us all join President Bush in prayer that he be given the wisdom and determination to lead our country along the right path in this time. The BV Mary asked that we pray the rosary, for example ... (nothing else follows, but bump please occasionally)

Should I believe my ears? Did one of the analysts on Fox News just say that estimates of fatalities were in the range of 10,000 persons? If so, this dwarfs everything. How many died at Pearl Harbor? In Viet Nam? The Korean War? At Hiroshima or Nagasaki? We're at war. Who are we fighting against?

Dear Lord, please be with the familes of the dead and bring them your peace. Please give the rescue workers strength and bring them your peace while they deal first hand with this horror. Give us your peace while we sit and wait helplessly. Give our leaders the wisdom to respond appropriately. In Jesus name we pray.
