Of course, she and I were both raised in military families, so we tend to want to go to the defense. I've said for years that I don't care if they want women on the front lines or not - if the fighting hits home, they'll get women on the front lines!!!!! And I'll be the first!


I think that this act is something that has been planned for a while, way before the Tom Clancy book. For this to be pulled off with such precision, it had to be well funded, and planned.

And yes, God help them WHEN we find out, and catch, who is responsible.

I agree. And, yeah - WHEN, I've got to have faith that we WILL find out who really did this.

I'm sure the reason is, because of the use of phone lines for emergency, as here in NYC. Keep the faith!!

Seriously. I've been swtiching the channel between ABC and CNN. I was pretty sure that ABC was the one that was interviewing him, but I half-tuned in to the conversation, but I know I read his name on the bottom scrolling. You know the "interviewing Tom Clancy" sort of thing.

This can't be a form of political terrorism..As everyone else has said, this only strengthens the resolve of the American people..
I saw the Palestines celebrating on TV..a sight to make blood boil.
When I saw the towers it was like watching a scene from Armageddon in real life..its horrifying, and the deed was done with nothing but raw hatred and evil intent. No writer would ever write something like this on such a scale, it just issint believeable that ANYONE would be able to take over so many planes and crash them into major government facilities.
And whats the deal with TWO DAMN PLANES into the WTC? Its like shooting a dead horse to make sure its dead! Its just sick!
I say go to war with whichever damned nation that did this and wipe their cities off the map..

Dear god take pity on us this day
Let not the power of the US be provoked
It can only lead to the death of nations
And the end of a peacefull era
It will lead to death and distruction

I'm quite certain AngelofDeath is right. We will pray that your loved ones can get in contact soon. Try not to worry, hon. We're here at least.

I work in D.C., we all got sent home about 3 hours ago, just got home now. Traffic is insane to say the least. I think I saw that plane that hit the Pentagon seconds before it crashed, noticed it was flying low, but didn't really think of it. People in traffic on my way home were freaking and crouching beside their cars looking at the skies as rumors of a plane flying nearby were on the radio (all airports have been shut down). I am hoping it is just the military. Again, Washington metropolitan area right now is in total pandemoneum, I've never seen anything like it before. All I know is I hope this is all over now, and there are no more attacks still on the horizon http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Yes indeed! I agree fully! What a wonderful way to begin the new millenium! *sudden thought* Maybe the terrorists planned the attack to begin during the year 2000, at the beginning of the new millenium. However, they weren't ready so they postponed it. It's possible http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

I just can't imagine that the Palestinians would be a party to this, surely they know that this is not the same as suicide bombings in Israel, because it's being perpetrated on foreign soil, and will only strengthen America's resolve and if anything will put them firmly behind the side of Israel. It doesn't make sense, but then again none of this makes sense.

Surely you've seen the Palestanians cheering at the death of Jewish children. This is no different.

The Taliban (Afghanistan) have a news conference thats supposed to start at 1:00. thats the country that has been sheltering that Ben-Laden terrorist.

herrmojo 09-11-2001 12:47 PM

Hello,
I have something important to say. This grotesque act is designed to upset the US infrastructure and cause fear in all of us. We cannot let them! Now is the time each person must stand and deliver. Each person needs to keep working, each person needs to help another, and each one needs to pray. This attack was against America, therefore the they have attacked us ALL. So therefore, we must each do our part, to help ALL of us. Reduce unnecessary use of the Internet and other forms of communication, remain calm and alert, volunteer, and most of all, BE NOT AFRAID.

Agreed. It would make no sense for the Palestinians to be behind this. They are trying to win US support, not antagonize the US.
