KABUL IN
FLAMES!
TURN ON CNN
I'm a hawk on the military.
Words mean things, but IF
we have the proof they say we have,
I want ground troops in Afghanistan to grab that mother.
I say we occupy Afghanistan until they hand him over to us.
If we lose troops - we lose troops.
But we don't take this attack lying down.

The whole world is watching
At times like this, we forget the differences
between Europe and the US and
stand beside you. The disaster is on all the
TV networks over here, replacing all
regular programming on the BBC and other channels.
All the European leaders
have said that we'll give whatever help we
can to find the people who carried out
these attacks as well as giving the US whatever
assistance it needs to get through this crisis.
Our thoughts are with all of you,

The president's place is in the seat
of government - DC, not where he is now.
To stay away from there means the bad
guys win. That's not the message we
need to send now, that's why he got
selected president to suck it up during the bad times...
It's my guess they needed a few hours to secure the WH.
I assume F-16s will be patrolling the DC skies now.

Politics is for Cowards Now!
Anyone who chooses to play politics at
this most dire of hours is almost as much of a coward
as those who perpetuated this heinous
crime.
This is a time for support and for solidarity.
Any Republican or any Democrat who feels this is a time
for politics is a coward. Anyone
who sees this as an opportunity to point fingers or lay blame at someone
who is not directly responsible for
the actions is a coward. What kind of sick mind watches tens of
thousands of innocent people die and
thinks to themselves, "now how can I pin THIS on Bill Clinton"
or "this is a chance to show how weak
George Bush really is."
Cowards.
Cowards did this and only cowards will
seek to benefit from this.
I agree.
I wish certain people would think before they speak.

Babs Olson among dead today....
It was just reported on CBS, by Laura
Ingraham, that Barbara Olson was among those
killed at the WTC today. Just
one of thousands, and even though I didn't like her politically
(or really personally, from what I've
seen of her) she deserves to be mourned as much as
any other American. Perhaps in
the wake of this tragedy, her fellow blond attack hounds
will realize that the hatred and vitriol
from their mouths should be reserved for those who
really deserve it, the bastards who
committed this act, not the Clintons (or even the Bushes).
I've seen reports she was on one of the hijacked planes.

They got Cockpit Voice Recorders, right?....
Sit tight, America. As there were at
least four commercial airliners involved in the attack,
their "Black Boxes" will give up a
couple of hours of audio tape of conversation in the cockpits,
which should help identify who these
folks were and where they were from, at which time
we can extract our honorable revenge
on those we know to be responsible for this cowardly act.
I doubt they will recover those boxes.
If the fire could melt the towers, those boxes are gone.
Still, it's possible.

Thank you for your minute-by-minute
commentary on this horrible tragedy.
It helps me feel less afraid.
I applaud your scolding the Bush blamers.
Get it straight, folks!
Thousands of innocent Americans were
murdered in a blatant act of war.
Real Americans should stand together.
I also fervently hope that Bush
has the brains and guts to get through
this.
They'll be plenty of time for hashing
over the "conspiracy" theories later.
Thanks again.

This is Bush's highest test.
He must be visible, he must act rationally,
and he is going to have to
stop hiding and talk to the people and
answer questions from the press.
And he must assure us that America we
will remain a free society.
Personally, I'm hoping Bush is up to
this test.
I wish him well, and my prayers are
with him.
We cannot assume that anyone was responsible
for this attack.
We don't know who did it until we find
proof, or someone claims "credit."
Then we must act according to our laws,
and according to our position in the world.
Any deviation from this, and we fail
this test.
Care for your loved ones, America.
Give
blood, and if you can, help
in the rescue and cleanup.

CNN UPDATE
NEW YORK (CNN) -- In what appeared to be coordinated acts
of
terrorism, two jets crashed into the twin towers of the World
Trade Center, collapsing them Tuesday while another aircraft
crashed into the Pentagon. Hundreds were injured or killed, if not
more.
A fourth aircraft crashed in Pennsylvania with 45 people on board.
President Bush said the United States would "hunt down and punish"
the terrorists responsible. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell
cut
short a trip to Peru to return to the United States. He also vowed,
"The U.S. government will find out who is responsible."
The U.S. military went on full alert. Two aircraft carriers
left the Naval base in Norfolk, Va., in response to the
attacks. At the Pentagon, witnesses said a plane crashed into
what is known as the "Army Corridor," the building collapsed
and there wase an undetermined number of casualties.
Bush, who wound up an tour in Florida that was to focus on
education, did not return to Washington out of concerns for his
safety but flew to an Air Force base in Louisiana. Later, Air Force
One
took from Barksdale Air Force Base, its destination unknown.
Officials in Washington said a "Continuation of Government"
plan had been activated. The activation involves a fortified
facility at Mount Weather, Va. There was no word whether any of
the U.S. leadership or ranking military officers had been taken
to the facility, but Congressional leaders were said to be
assembling outside Washington.
The city of Washington declared a state of emergency.

From Rueters in London
Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based
al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper said
Islamic fundamentalists led by bin Laden
was ``almost certainly'' behind the attack
of the World Trade Center in New York.
"It is most likely the work of Islamic
fundamentalists. Osama bin Laden warned
three weeks ago that he would attack
American interests in an unprecedented attack,
a very big one,'' Atwan told Reuters.
"Personally we received information that
he planned very, very big attacks against
American interests. We received several
warnings like this. We did not take it so seriously,
preferring to see what would happen
before reporting it.''

there is currently no way to ship the blood

us to wait a day so they can look at the situation,
and prepare to send blood... plus the lines
are sooooo long that they can't do anything but extract
blood... if they can't prepare it to ship,

ineligible to give blood again until November 6th
