|
| Hundreds dead, smoke poring out of the buildings, I''m shaking. |
|

|
| I can't believe this! I know a lot of people that work there. I hope they find out who did this, and that it's over. Over 40,000 people work in those buildings! |

| Just turned on CNN News...hard to believe!!! Was up there 2 yrs. ago; I hate to say it but this may just be the beginning. I do hope we will take the stance that Israel does + that is to go after those responsible... if not we will continue to be targeted even worse. Can't believe it!! Just showed the actual plane hit....Ben Remer is up there in Manhattan...hope he is ok.... |

|
| There is a hijacked airliner circling and threatening the capitol. Another plane has crashed into PA |

| Dudes, I'll try to get hold of my cousin who lives outside D.C. if he's in country. Wife called + they had recently moved 1 of her offices from Wall St.....hard to believe this but we have been fortunate so far. Hope Ben Remer is ok as he is living in that area. Sad thing is these people actually think they are doing God a favor + will go straight to heaven once they die.....WRONG ANSWER. not being able to do anything makes it worse but how can you defend against those who have no respect for life? Looks to me like from here on uot things will be different now that this has happened + our lives will somehow be diff. from here on out. what really bites is we live between D.C. + Radford Arsenal, both major targets......I'm moving up there!!![:(] |
|
| |
|
| i am getting most of my news from you guys- the NYC radio is just chaos- they have so many stories coming in |
|
| |
|
| They interviewed Casper Weinberger- "they should find out who is responsible + be destroyed" was his basic response + I fully agree. To see it happen here should open some eyes...... |
|
| |
|
| Hello, I am okay. It has been a very scarey morning. I am about a mile or so from where the towers once stood. The sound and feeling of the earth shaking is something I will not soon forget. Cannot really leave the house as the city is shut down and I live near a hospital so things are very out of control. I just feel for the people who where in the buildings and the families not knowing if there relatives are okay. I know phone lines are busy, so just keep the faith...Ben Remer |
|
| |
|
| Daggone Ben we were wondering..... transfer to UVA or Washington @ Lee! They had to have been flown by terrorists as I feel confident that American pilots would have taken a round in the head or crashed into the water rather than hit the towers....of that I am positive!!! Fox News has pretty good coverage.... |
|
| |
|
| airports are shutting down, the largest buildings in Minneapolis are being evacuated, including the Mall of America. |
|
| |
|
| just talked to police here in pa, the plane that went down here was shot down, it came over the police radio. |
|
| |
|
| Ben,
Glad to hear your ok! Capt. Larry |
|
| |
|
| The 747 that was shot down was from Chicago. Camp David was attacked.
Glad your OK Ben is your bro. OK? |
|
| |
|
| Good to hear you're ok Bennie....just said to Gena that you live in Manhattan, and then read farther on this post and saw your reply.
I can't even think of anything to say on this post....contrary to my tag line, the Forces of Evil have come to our home.
Fears abound about what we as a county does NEXT....we are at war, but with whom?
Slamr |
|
| |
|
| Glad to hear your ok ben. |
|
| |
|
| I`m watching it on TV now. They are saying that there are still 'unaccounted" aircraft out there somewhere.
Whoever did this will be meeting Allah very soon.
I`ll even volunteer to go do it.
Time for all of us to say some prayers. |
|

|
| Maybe it’s Buddha they’ll be seeing |

|
| 1 flight from Boston
1 flight from Chicago
1 flight from NJersey

|
| just heard that a plane was hijacked out of pittsburgh, and is circling dallas? this is uncomfirmed. |
|
| |
|
| That must be the other United Arlines Flight that is missing enroute to Las Angeles! |
|
| |
|
| What REALLY ticks me about this degree of cowardice is that the enemy won't show his face....Slamr asked who it is we're fighting... the worst kind of filth on earth is my definition!!!! I would go fight as I I'm sure all prior soldiers would but this is no ordinary battle being waged. My only hope is that whatever it takes we will go wherever + bring swift justice..... |

I'm about to take the M-14 out of storage and resharpen the butplate,this Recon Ranger is sitting here getting really pissed off!I hope we make a quick Nuke Strike on Bin Laidin! This is a very sad day! Good Bless America!!! |

| Hey next world record. Maybe we are going to have to call China sooner than we think so they can build our bombs and weapons for us. [:(] |

|

| Wow! Sponge,I just got a real sound shock,a low level F-16 flight over my house.I believe they are guarding air space over the worlds largest Chemical Supplies,Sodium for making Bombs etc.,at Plants in Niagara Falls,NY.Airplanes diverted to Toronto,Ontario are being told to avoid this airspace! |
|

|
| I'm w/ you brother Larry!!!! I'm DEAD SERIOUS---I am sitting here biting my lip....this sucks + this ex-101st ABN. recon. grunt is getting REAl REAL PI$$ED....My little 5 yr. old son is going to come home from school in 2 hrs. + ask his Daddy what's wrong..... how will I explain? But the REAL tragedy is the # of kids who now will have no parent to come to.....I have a feeling it "ain't over" yet..... |
|
| |
|
| Unbeleivable...I have not been on the boards too much lately. I travel alot. I think of this frequently and have said prayers for all this morning. Thank the dear Lord that I am not traveling today. I work for a company in Vermont and have several collegues that live in Boston, New York and Jersey. Sitting in Wisconsin at home today feels good, yet a very sureal feeling and empty feeling!
A very sad day, and many more to follow as this tragedy unfolds. |
|
| |
|
| Easy folks, this is indeed a terrible day. We are still under attack. Let's wait for the Government to let us know who did this before we 'go off' on any particular group or religion that is not guilty. It is really hard to apologise later..keep the faith. The US will NEVER be the same.
News releases say so far a Palestinian Splinter group has announced they are responsible. |
|
| |
|
| Larry, we are near Radford Arsenal that provides rocket fuel + classified stuff; about 45 minutes away. I imagine the area you are in would also be a high priority area also...if it was a "splinter group" believe me there is a "tree base" nearby providing what it took to do this!!!!
Ben- check w/ the hospital near you...THEY NEED BLOOD DONATIONS!!! |
|
| |
|
| It makes everything else unimportant right now. Why? |
|
| |
|
| Mall of America, Disney, all theme parks shut down and evacuated, all convention activities at Vegas are evacuateded. LAX has been evacuated. Looks like two of the aircraft headed for LAX went down before reaching their target... |
|
| |
|
| Everyone should go to the nearest Red Cross Blood Center and donate,no matter where you live! |
|
| |
|
| Doesn`t say much about airport security,does it?
Maybe they`ll actually make it a little harder to get into this country in the first place. "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses".....That just don`t cut it anymore. Tighten our borders til they squeek.
I don`t care which chicken sh*t group is responsible, make them pay 10,000 to 1 |

| Sponge,
I just put out "Old Glory" at half mass,off the front of the house!Going to be hard to go to work today at 3:00 PM. Capt. Larry |

| Hey guys, NY is a mess. However the calm is amazing. People are really acting in the best possible manner. It is an unexplainable feeling to go out side and see the two buildings gone from the skyline. As soon as it is safe, I will walk down to the hospital to donate blood, but with car bombs going off in front of hotels and such it is best to stay at home. There is still a really uneasy feeling here, and hearing and feeling the colapse is hard to explain. The magnitude of these events is truly so disheartening. It looks like a war zone, inches of dust covering the street and paper and such. It is a day I could never forget and hope to never relive...Ben |
|
| |
|
| Ben,
Staying calm is the best aproach!Here are a few things you should do if your at home;fill your bathtub and other containers with water incase there is a shortage due to broken water lines, over usage or contamination,Stock up on can goods,price's may go out of site in a short time,fill your vehicle with gas while your out!I'm assuming that you are living in NY. Capt. Larry |
|

|
| Good idea Larry.....I''ll run out + do the same! Just called my cousin who lives/works in the D.C area + his wife said he is on his way home though it will take a LONG time w/ traffic the way it is. He often flies out of Dulles cross country/overseas on business + I wanted to make sure he was on ground. The "Afghanistan Teliban" is having a telephone video to say they had no part in this. I still can''t fathom the degree of a mind that would do this; we are experiencing what Israel goes through + I sincerely hope we will continue to back them as the nation who turns their back on Israel will be judged....no group can tell us who to give aid to!!
***NWR...just got the packett from Fed Ex....thanks a million!! As I sit here + look at the pics. I am deeply saddened by todays'' events; the pics of you guys fishing + having fun is why we are what we are today + today part of that was taken away. The girl who delivered the packet said they would be off possibly tomorrow as the airports are closed + it just dawned on me that the post office would be less hectic as all mail now will have to go by truck. thanks again, Rik |
|
| |
|
| It`s amazing how the Taliban can say they had nothing to do with it, but they harbor Bin Laden and he in turn calls the ruler of Afghanistan "A GOD" and the true ruler of Moslems.
Just recently Bin Laden was video taped saying "The victory in Yemen is just the beginning." Referring to the bombing of the Cole. And to expect more good things to come.
Well I predict a few good things are going to happen to him and the country that hides the coward. |

|
| I just came from my roof, and cannot explain what has taken place here in NY. I am about a mile or less away is my best guess. The two largest buildings are gone from the skyline. The smoke and silt that covers my roof and neighborhood...Honestly, I am jewish and feel for any kind of loss of life in Isreal for either side, as I have family there. It is an unfortunate situation. But I repeat, any loss of life I feel for. How can a goup or person justify what took place today. The life lost today, is comparable to a full war. It is truly a horrible day, having felt and seen it I am just in shock...Ben |
|
| |
|
| I live less than a mile from Mitchell Field. Not a sound. All roads that run past the airport are closed.
Meanwhile, they are dancing on the West Bank.
Are we really the most evil nation in the world?
Or is everybody else just jealous? |
|
| |
|
| Well I will try and pull together my composure and go into work!This has been a very hard day to deal with.Prayers go out to all the families and love ones that have to deal with a loss today.
I hope this is the start of the "Awakening of a Sleeping Giant Two",God Bless America! Capt. Larry |

| I work right next to O’Hare, this neighborhood has never been this quite, eerie.
I guess I’m not up on world news, but what are they claiming we did to deserve this?
|
|
| |
|
| Hang in there, Ben.
Hello again, everyone..
Let's keep our collective cool, and see what develops.
I would be willing to bet that President Bush will not dissappoint anyone looking for a strong response to today's attacks. I am just as angry as the rest of you, I just am not certain yet with whom...and I am reluctant to blame anyone until we are certain who did this.
Of course, every person in the world that sees the US as an enemy for whatever reason will celebrate the moment. All those poor folks on the airplanes and the ground...could have been any of us on a business trip..CIVILIAN aircraft used as a weapon against civilian targets...
In the next few days we will be clearly able to see our enemies, and our friends. So starts a new era in our country, with a new regard for terrorists and what they can, and will do to forward their cause. The inevitable result is we will all be slightly less 'free'untill this type of threat is removed from our world.
Lunch is over, and I have to deliver a boat.
What a miserable chain of events! |
|
| |
|
| Doest anybody remember Oklahoma City. Whos to say this isnt one of our own countrymen???? That would be absolutley horrific!!!! Think about it. [:((] |
|
| |
|
| Bin Laden's Associate who was responsible for the bombing of the US Embassy in Tanzania 3 years ago is on trial TOMORROW in a federal court building near the World Trade Center. I am not pointing fingers, but this can't be merely a coincidence..........
Palestinians in their own country were said to be on the street celebrating, chanting "God is Great" and handing out candy.
This whole thing makes me sick |
|
| |
|
| HAd to leave work with all of this. MAy we all stay strong and pray for the best and an end to all this. I will refrian from writing my true feelings right now but how can any nationality celebrate in the streets to such a loss for human life. pi$$es me off[:devil:]
BEn, I am glad you are alright and everyone hold tight.
your Canadian fellow North American Neighboor,

| I`m sitting here with my wife and daughter. There are bags packed and clothes piled up waiting to be packed because we are going "up north" on vacation muskie fishing next week. But we had to stop. It just doesn`t seem like the happy time that it should be. It seems wrong for some reason. I should be whistling a happy tune and checking over the boat and trailer....but I just can`t bring myself to do it. Nothing feels very happy today. I immagine that I`m not in the boat alone.[:((] |
|
| |
|
| Beaver,
Enjoy your vacation and love your family. That is the only advice I can give. Seems that the only time we think of what we have is when things are taken away
|
|
| |
|
| The world, and history, will be forever changed today. |
|
| |
|
| Anybody notice the date - 911 |
|
| |
|
| Strange how things change. Back in the early 70s I had hair to my shoulders and would have done anything to stay out of the jungles in Vietnam. But after what I saw today, if somebody showed up at my front door and asked me to go, I`d kiss my wife and daughter, grab my 7'08 and be on the first plane out of here.
Nothing can justify what has happened. I don`t care what we`ve done in the mid-east. We aren`t responsible for their problems and shouldn`t be slaughtered because of them. They chant "God is great." Yes He is. But He doesn`t think what happened today is a good thing. No matter which God you pray to.
Peace and Gods blessings to all of you. Beav and family |
|
| |
|
| Beaver,
The aim of terrorists is inpart to change our lives, deprive us of our freedoms and make us feel fear! If you don't go fish....or don't go to the grocery store, or stop flying on airplanes then THEY WIN!
I have no doubt that the might of the US Military will destroy these enemies, be they foreign OR domestic....but even when they are gone if we live in fear of what they have done, they still win.
Slamr |
|
| |
|
| This goes out to all my fellow fire fighters and emt,s that lost their lives today trying to save thousands. Thank you. Also lets stop for a day and think about the victims and their families, god bless them. Remember this is the united states, Justices will be served.
Jim[:((] |
|
| |
|
| Beav, Slamr is right; go enjoy your vacation but I do know what you mean by it will be different....it will be different from now on. I only hope that from here on out this country will not refrain from hunting down those who do these things as restraints have been put in place in the past.
Also what is sad is the kids in the West Bank area are being raised in hatred... many were small + have no concept other than what they are taught. Somalians did the same thing as they dragged a naked U.S. soldier down a street...why that country is still on the face of the earth I still don't understand as we should have gone in + served up a king size helping of kick butt justice........ |
|
| |
|
| Watching CNN....Kabul, Afghanistan is receiving rocket fire and other explosions. Could be the beginning of the pay back. |
|
| |
|
| This is a sad day for everyone in North America. I cannot believe that there are human beens capable of killing thousands of innocent people for no reason at all. These are animals and they should be put down right away.
The blood banks here in Ottawa are full and can't keep up with the number of people walking in to donate.
Our prayers and best wishes go to all Americans.
This is going to be the sadest Can-Am ever. I am heading out Thursday am and I hope we still have a lot of our American friends show up for the tournament.
I just saw the Afgan is under attack right now. I say to wipe them out and leave but a pile of ashes like the streets of NY.

| wife got briefed this afternoon before leaving her office not to answer any questions should they be asked by reporters as a company she deals w/ was headquartered in the World Trade Center + left this spring.... she doesn't understand why their dept. would be questioned but thought it very strange. I guess they will leave no stone unturned. I hate to ramble on but I enjoy life + hate to see others suffer + this really bothers me; reality is hard sometimes but must be accepted I guess. |
|
| |
|
| Whitehouse says the attacks in Kabul are NOT American action. Just part of Afghanistan civil war. |
|
| |
|
| I would like to offer my sincere condolescenses and prayers to anyone who may have had family, or friends hurt, killed or missing in this tragedy.
I do not profess to be publicly correct in such matters, and I have to admit that such actions infuriate the HE** out of me! These people perform these acts in the name of country or god... they have no god, don't deserve a country, and aren't even human in my opinion... they are gutless cowardly vermin with only hatred for a religion, and do not have one fraction of respect for human life or dignity. To coin a phrase from the movie "The Rock", I hope Bush has the cajones to identify those responsible, and "Bomb their a$$ back to the stone age!"
If the country where these "slugs" are hiding won't cough them up voluntarily, maybe Bush should re-activate a few of those battleship behemoths like the Missouri... outfit them to the rafters with cruise missiles, plant them right on their doorstep, and hammer them mercilessly with missile after missile, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, or month after month until they do give them up... or until there is not a living thing left within their border. These scum are the lampreys of the human world, and deserve everything that they get. The thousands that died or were injured in this premeditated senseless slaughter are owed nothing less!
George - go get 'em! [:devil:]

| After watching all this unfold today, I have one question.
Why aren`t the cockpits of commercial airliners locked compartments? Seems to me there should be a steel door seperating the pilot and the controls from any lunatic who wants to push his way to the front of the plane. |
|
| |
|
| Was working on a house today didn't find out til late this afternoon.What a sad day.Can't really find words to say how I feel.Girlfriend called called told me I better get gas as it was to go sky high. I live in small town Iowa and there was a line of cars that was unbelieveable.Some people where acting all fluster and pissy.Sickings me as we need to stick together in times like these.Gotta go but I love this country and the people who gave there to make it what it is and the people that will defend now.....I'am sad.Dennis Blume |

| The date (9/11) is significant, but it is for the events that took place on this date in history. On 9/11/1922 A British mandate was proclaimed in Palestine under heavy protests from the Arabs. In 1948, the U.N. lifted the mandate by dividing the territory, thus creating Israel. On a more recent note, on 9/11/1972 the Munich olympics ended with the "Black September" group of Palestinians holding Israeli athletes hostage, killing 11 of them before failing in their attempt to escape. |

| Boy how things like a little transmission problem now seem small in comparison. I was dropping off my truck this morning when this whole thing hit the fan. Makes you sit back and thank god your family is alright.
My Prayers go out to those involved and hopefully the President will get justice for the American people.
I am glad all of you have come together to join hand in this discusion on our site. This whole thing makes muskie fishing seem trivial.
I am also glad my good friend Ben Remer is alright, him and I exchanged emails this morning.[:praise:]
May we soon have peace in the world.[:praise:] |

|
| Words cannot express the feelings I'm having with this attack on our own soil. I NEVER thought I would see the day that such an attack was possiable, my thoughts and prayers are with the people who perished and their loved ones that they leave behind and also our servicemen who will be called to do their duty. Having serverd, fought, been wounded and have killed in the service of my Country during a different time and place, let all of us as Americans stand behind are leaders so that this may NEVER happen AGAIN[:(]
Also Proud To Be An AMERICAN |

| Hang tough, Chuck. I can't even imagine how you; a combat veteran, feel, but I CAN tell you the average sportsman visiting this site feels the same anger, confusion, pain, and sorrow you feel, if not so close to the bone.
I want to thank all of you for the heartfelt posts today. This thing is far from over, I fear. The reports of a truck stopped full of explosives just a few minutes ago causes no small worry; FBI is questioning the drivers...I hope we catch and severly punish the people responsible for this. Soon. |
|
| |
|
| My thoughts, sympathies and prayers go out to all. Especially to those who lost their lives or were injured in this cowardly act. I just wish that I could honestly say that it was a surprise. I knew that sooner or later something like this was going to happen. I am flabbergasted by the sheer magnitude of it though.
These worthless cowards who send others to do their work must be brought to justice quickly and permanently. How they can justify killing tens of thousands of men, women and children, for any reason, is beyond me.
As much as I hate to say it, the United States as a whole country needs to worry about one thing...itself. We can''t continue to send billions of dollars to other countries, supply them with our military personel and weapons and continue to be shafted in the world marketplace. We must stand up as a nation for ourselves first. If that means cutting aid to other countries or closing our borders to foreign nationals then so be it.
It has done me good to read through these responses and see that others have the same feelings that I do. I purposely waited to read these until I had settled down just a bit. I only ask that you remember one thing before you pass judgement. If you go out there killing for the purpose of killing does that make you any better than them. Severly punish only those that are responsible and their cohorts who harbor them.
MAY GOD BLESS US AND OUR GREAT NATION. MAY HE COMFORT AND GUIDE US AND MAY HE BRING US ALL TOGETHER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
Ben, I am glad to hear you are well. You too TommyV and all others from that area. Keep in touch. If there is anything that any of us can do for you, don''t hesitate to ask. If it is within our power, I am sure that any of us will help in any way.
Good Luck and Be Safe,
Scott |

| The resolve of this country will not be broken. Besides the anger i felt, all i could do i look at my Son who is only 3 1/2 months old. Knowing lots of peoples sons and daughters died yesterday because of a group of cowardly people, my heart goes out to all of them. We will get through this! While my initial opinions of who is responsible point in one direcion, the United States will take the time to find out who really is responsible. Then there needs to be swift, hard and thorough punishment so no other sons and daughters need to die. Other countries need to help, step aside, or get run over when dealing with these terrorists. |

| This is very hard for me being a firefighter, knowing that I have lost many of my brothers in the fire service. Let us pray they may still be alive. |

| It is an appalling fact that the worst events in human history have been a result of racial, ethnic or religious differences. It would seem that in our modern world these things should no longer matter and that we would treat our fellow human beings as we do our own family. It was equally horrific watching via satellite the expressions of joy & happiness on the faces of the Palestinian people when they learned of the events in the USA. This illustrates the real problems of our world. The leaders of Afghanistan destroy religious cultural symbols of other religions, arrest people who have different belief's than their own and hide terrorist's from persecution by those they have wronged.. People kill their neighbors because they have a different ethnic background. Some Americans would argue that the solution is to use our Military might to destroy them all by bombing them to cosmic dust or impose forced isolation upon their country by closing their borders. This would be just as barbaric as the act's we have witnessed, as innocent people would certainly suffer & die. They may be able to attack the American people, but they will never destroy our ideals or our country. We enjoy the most freedoms of any society in the world, yet America is a homogenous mix of all the world's people. What did they attack? The terrorist's attacked what they saw as symbols of our power. The power of America is not these symbols, but our will as free people. Sure we have our own problems and at times there is racial and ethnic violence incidents that happen in America. But we also have laws that make the punishment even harsher for ethnic or racial hate crimes. The key to our future is our children & teaching them that hatred of race , ethnic back ground and religion is wrong. Unfortunately there are other countries where it is standard practice to teach the opposite.
The solution to terrorism is universal cooperation and action by the countries of the world to identify and punish those who sponsor, plan, execute or participate in any way in these act's of violence against innocent people.
[:((] One of my coworkers- Shawn Nassaney was on one of the hijacked flight's, I cannot find words to express how I feel at this moment. We pray for all the victims of this horrible act and those brave Firefighter's, Police Officer's, Doctor's, Nurse's and others who placed themselves in harm's way to help their fellow human beings. [:praise:]
To all the perpretrator's of this crime against the American People: If it were in my power- I would gladly pull the trigger that would end your miserable existance. [:bigsmile:]

| Two terrorists recently arrested today at Midway airport in Chicago, one escaped. This sh!t ain’t over yet. |
|
| |
|
| wow NWR- you're quick with these news stories... damned if you aren't right though... msnbc.com had no details except two "detained" at midway airport |
|
| |
|
| Just listin to the radio while workin & surfin
I hope this report turns out false.
|
|
| |
|
| NYC got the report last night of 10 "middle eastern" men being arrested... that story had everything from fake pilot licenses to knives on board and arrests at gunpoint... and today it was reported as a false alarm... amazing that media can stretch out a false alarm so far... |
|
| |
|
| Zach, check out Fox News.... best coverage I''ve found thus far. I''m w/ Ollie North....I think they may try more stuff;I was in Central America when the stuff he was accused of started to come to light + he never "uncle Tommed" his superiors....an admirable trait in any leader + because of our involvement there the southern hemisphere is more stable. nm........
*almost forgot....this morning here in Va. an IDIOT called in + said he had a bomb on an 18 wheeler then got back in his truck + heaed back up the ramp......FBI nailed him befor he got 5 miles away....this guy was an American...I do feel though there are quite a few left here on the east coast + that they will keep low for awhile. |
|
| |
|
| Back to the top......Hopefully this post can be kept first + foremost in ALL our minds + that it can be a permanent part of the Muskiefirst archives; take the time to read all 6 pages + you'll see what I mean.......N.M.... |

| According to Mancow (local DJ) the government has evidence for a second wave of attacks planned for this Saturday. Doesn’t seem to be getting much press time, but just in case be warned.
Secondly, if I were to get some gas masks for my family, are the half masks OK or are the full face masked ones needed? Also do I need the one for organic gases or acid gases? Thirdly, do the water filters you can get at the sports stores filter anthrax? Thanks for the help; I’m not as paranoid as I sound.

| Benjamin Netanyahu is on Fox News live now + is briefing a congressional group on terrorism + HE KNOWS HIS STUFF....surely they will hear him + TAKE HIS ADVICE- unless this stuff is dealt w/ now, we will experience more at a greater loss w/ more powerful weapons as time goes on + he knows what he is talking about having to deal w/ this stuff at his front door for years. As far as masks go the full mask offers the best protection but you must have filters etc. + more than likely by the time you realized you were being hit your eyes would be closing....Netanyahu is trying to convince the panel that if fixed now the problem will MUCH easier to deal w/ if ever it should come up again.;BEFORE the groups obtain weapons of mass destruction. If you must get a mask check the Army/Navy stores but personally I''d not worry too much. Our country needs to NOW forget the "legalistic" attitude toward these "terror cells" + show we mean business....in the long run countries will think twice before harboring this type.
*Va. awhile back built 2 maximum security prisons; "Red Onion" +"Wallens Ridge" to house the worst of the worst + the prisoners are from diff. parts of the country....they scream about the treatment they recieve; would be a good place to bring those they already have caught....they are located in a sparsely populated + mountainous region in the western part of the state + plenty of room there.
*also- forgot...they are having us watch for odd packages at the P.O.;hopefully they will catch anything before they make it this far. As for a mask the most likely attack would be in gas/vapor form...heard they caught a guy outside Chicago...Ali is on now...time to head back.... |

| Great friggin speech last night! Don’t you think?
Proud to be an American |
|

|
| PERFECT....+ it is up to US to stand behind our leadership + see this thing through. At the risk of abuse I will say this much---> instead of playing "grab butt" + making a donkey stall out of the White House the past administration should have dealt w/ this over the past 8 years; but NOW is the time, let''s do it right. Israels'' past Prime Minister(Benjamin Netanyahu) had a live hearing yesterday on tv + we need to listen to him....they know these type + we can learn much from the Israelies. One major point was the fact we need to rid ourselves of the "legalities" when dealing w/ terrorism + treat them as war criminals. Though FAR from being perfect myself I firmly believe God will protect the innocent + bring justice to those responsible as we turn to Him as individuals + as a nation + continue to do the right thing. I''m still finding this attack hard to believe + will never forget; nor will any who have been there to visit. The attack on Washington also holds bitter memories as I have family that live + work there + have spent a lot of time there in the past. At least one plane was taken down by HEROS who knowing they would die saved many in the process. I want my little son to someday understand what happened, why + to stand firm in the values handed down over the generations + if he should choose to someday serve as has every generation of my family, then I want him to do so w/ pride + RESOLVE. May future conflicts have the purpose, intensity + togetherness that we have now. Today is the day to start over + begin anew...since this began things haven''t been the same around here + probably won''t for a while; each day I have to start over but time will heal + I look forward to begin to get back to my old self again! |

Bragg & Camp LeJune,two Companies of the 82nd Airborne were moved three days ago and a Co. of 2nd Force Recon left in a BoxCar yesterday,ahead of the Marine 26th Expeditionary Force.My guess is Garcia Island off of India for a stageing area.Let There Be No Mercy!!!

We''ll keep this post going ''til the "cows come home". I hope they build a memorial to the guys who VALIANTLY fought to save lives in the Pa. crash, to me that site ranks up there w/ Valley Forge. Thanks for being here.....+ special thanks to NWr who got this off the ground + kept her in flight..... |

My heart goes out to all those involved! Still can't believe it. I even got tears in my eyes when reading your posts on this site. I hope they get those responsible and the rest of that rat's nest as well! It won't end when Bin laden is dead, who knows how many of these terrorists are still out there? I hope yall get 'em good! |

|
| The rest of us still feel that way bud + will continue to do so for good.....told the wife the "boys" were in route the day it happened + BINGO---the hunt is on! Keep that feeling; it will make you more alert + hopefully remind the Gov't not to lax on us....at least maybe they will think twice before popping us again..... |

| Here comes President Bush to the White House on the Fox News Channel now...looks like stuff is striking the fan as I write this....wish I could type faster! BOOM BOOM out go the lights....no power....anti aircraft tracers light up the night sky but to no avail.....the planes are gone by the time they realize what happened.....moon is still down so the Taliban are dazed + confused.....no communications...Bush will be addressing the press soon.....correction....he will be addressing the nation....YES!!!!!!! Officially now it is on.....the U.S./British planes are wreaking havoc on Teliban positions.....may God protect our troops + let us pray for our leaders + that justice will be served....not out of revenge but out of self defense for what was wrought on us by those who have NO REGARD for human life......ADIOS! |

| Just heard a sonic boom that shook the house in the NW suburbs of Chicago. I don't feel all that free anymore considering I've lived here more then 30 years and have never seen military fighters much less a sonic boom in the area. Anyone know what they are scrambling fighters for? I imagine someone lost some windows somewhere closer to the action. |
|
| |
|
| I heard it too. I thought it was a bomb. There was a mental on a plane that didn’t take their medication and rushed the cockpit. Passengers subdued him. The fighters that have been way up in the air since the 11th rushed down to escort the plane in the rest of way. |

| Had friends in town last week for my 30th birthday, and they wanted to see the ground zero. At first I was a bit irritated, as I feel it is not a specticle. However, after seeing the emotional response and hearing why they needed to see it, I felt pretty good. People are still being found each day, sometimes it is easy to forget....Have a great season this year guys...Ben |

| Daggone dude...where have you been Ben...been studying...sorry, couldn't resist! Glad to see you are ok...if the wife keeps telling me what to do, I may need your services when you graduate![;)] Stay in touch....[:sun:] |

| Lest we forget guys, it's sad that the country is also on a heightened state of alert for intenal terrorism on this date that celebrates the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, Waco,Texas compound destruction and I beleive the Columbine shootings were around this time also.
The whole country felt like it got it's guts ripped out on 9-11, but let's not forget that there are terrorists among us who have as wacked out views as their Islamic counterparts, and they could be living right next door.
Mc Veigh, David Corresh.....we're not safe as long as there are radical extremeists who have no regard for human life living here among us.
Don't forget that the land of the free and the home of the brave is also the land of the crazy and the home of the chicken$hit radical extemeist.
