One has a chapter on the Clinton failures with regard to terrorism. I also have Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks and White Liberals.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of serializing the chapter are Jews Generic. Sowell's middle man minority hypothesis is interesting.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1140998957431533352006-02-26T19:09:00.000-05:002006-02-26T19:09:00.000-05:00Jason You live in NYC and were probably about thre...Jason <BR/><BR/>You live in NYC and were probably about three miles North . How many times does our City have to be attacked ? Why is the link between the cast of WTC bombing and the Kahane assasination so poorly understood ?<BR/><BR/>Has everyone forgotten that Ramzi Youseff is Khalid Sheik Mohammed's<BR/>nephew ? Khalid Sheik Mohammed is the number three man in Al Queda. This is no coincedence and the two attacks are linked.<BR/><BR/>Much of Al Queda's leadership is Baluch . My money is that Al Queda's big wigs are in the Baluch region . We have no assetts in the area and do not have the onions to bomb the place and risk a confrontation with Iran. I say damn Iran and if Bin Laden is in the Baluch area bomb first and ask questions later.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1140997200881611102006-02-26T18:40:00.000-05:002006-02-26T18:40:00.000-05:00Beak,the thought that the towers could collapse di...Beak,<BR/><I>the thought that the towers could collapse did not occur to me.</I><BR/><BR/>I'll never forget how I felt when the towers came down. I couldn't believe what I was watching was real. I don't cry easily, but I sobbed and screamed for hours. All those people! All those brave firemen! My God!<BR/><BR/>How can so many have put those images out of their minds? I can't do it. And as I've said before, I'm not a New Yorker. But in the words of a WWII vet, "It took my breath away." Still does, which is one reason I don't have Cap'n Bob's animated graphic at my site.

He bombed and invaded Serbia (a country that was no threat to us) while our enemies were striking USA sovereign land (embassies in Africa) and attacking our military (the Cole.) Bin Laden even declared war on America--a formality Muslims usually dispense with.Jason Pappashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233796281520274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1140983924858517232006-02-26T14:58:00.000-05:002006-02-26T14:58:00.000-05:00Also remember that Ramzi Yousef had intended the b...Also remember that Ramzi Yousef had intended the bomb to knock over one tower into the other and release a cyanide poison gas cloud, but his explosives weren't placed efficiently so the combustion burned the cyanide away and blew up floors above instead of supportcolumns and foundations out. New York City was lucky that day.<BR/><BR/>Then again, NYC wasn't lucky, because Bill Clinton, a Democrat, was President, and in the fine tradition of Democrat Presidents, he watched the attack on American soil and went back to masturbating or whatever it is that takes priority over national security to Democrats when Americans are killed.<BR/><BR/>So we watched the World Trade Center get hit AGAIN on September 11th, 2001, with the knowledge that the Al Qaeda terrorist conspirators from the 1993 bombing were still in Iraq and still being supported by the Mukhabarat.<BR/><BR/>And we watched Democrats throw a fit when this and other operational links between Iraq and Al Qaeda were brought up before the start of Operation: Iraqi Freedom. Democrats will ALWAYS oppose bringing justice to anyone that has killed an American and will ALWAYS oppose bringing war to any nation that threatens us with terrorist attacks. <BR/><BR/>If you've ever voted for a Democrat between the years 1836 and today, you should apologize to God and your fellow Americans for actively seeking to destroy the United States of America.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1140961952329156262006-02-26T08:52:00.000-05:002006-02-26T08:52:00.000-05:00In a way my experience made for a more dangerous e...In a way my experience made for a more dangerous experience on 9-11<BR/>years later. I was across the street on that day doing what seems stupid in hindsight but natural rubbernecking. My reaction at first was astonishment but also been there and done that. I had lived through it and the thought that the towers could collapse did not occur to me.<BR/><BR/>We kid ourselves but our first reaction to an accident is to look.<BR/>The next time you pass an accident on the highway try not to look.
