Remarks Made by Governor Jeb Bush Regarding Today's Attack on Our Country: State of Emergency Declared in FL It is with a heavy heart that I address the people of the great state of Florida this afternoon. Today our country was attacked - and perhaps many thousands of our countrymen lost - in a terroorist offensive against multiple targets in two of America's most beautiful cities. The aim of the terrorists is clear: to hurt - and to humble - America. They have indeed hurt us, but they will never humble us. They will never humble us because Americans have ...

United 175 @ 8:00 with 62 passengers. the third flight, by Delta also @ 8:00, passengers unknown. Total seating capacity, 700+. WHY? Airlines compete, but they also cooperate.

Bush mentioned the Valley of Death in his address to the nation. It is imperative that we understand ourselves, where we came from. All lives are different, and there are good and bad everywhere. In every place, there are women, and children. But when the day of tragedy comes, it is time to say to those who harbor the enemy, let them listen to the drone of planes at night. The ancestors of men put to record in old Babylonian the following scattered text:Before the day of tragedy, the old King had put many of our angry gods into prison. ...

I'll start. Everytime I saw you on TV, whenever I picked up your book for a quick reread of a chapter, I drew strength from your convictions and your resolve. I know you are in a better place now, but, I will still miss you. God speed fine lady.

Amidst all the blather on TV, by the usual talking heads and many so-called experts, it is surprising to me what is NOT being discussed. Much credence is being given to the probability that Osama is responsible for the attacks, that supposedly he gave an interview some weeks ago threatening to take the Jihad to the US...Well, he's been giving these

WASHINGTON (AP) - For all its technological prowess and military might, the United States didn't see this coming. None of the vaunted intelligence tools at the nation's disposal gave any warning of the coming nightmare - a massively coordinated effort to hijack and crash at least four airliners at the same time. U.S. officials confirmed they had no reports that such attacks were imminent. Not from the CIA's networks of spies and informants. Not from the FBI's many counterintelligence agents. Not from the National Security Agency's telephone and computer taps. Not from the military's satellites or spy planes. "If there ...

I am very concerned that we are not seeing any interviews with people who were in the Twin Towers but got out. Makes me think really not many did - you would think that those people would be all over the news talking about watching the plane hit their building etc. I am very afraid the numbers may be 30-40 thousand.
