Hunble, I'm not certain what brought on that comment, but you're welcome to express your thoughts. I'm sure others probably share them. I myself might if I understood exactly who you're going after.

The comments regarding the flight brought down in Pennsylvania don't seem to me to be focused on blaming the government. If the government did shoot down the flight, I have got to say that it was at once a courageous, unavoidable and tragic necessity.

Look at the damage done to the twin towers. One such plane took down each tower. The flight over Pennsylvania was destined to be crashed into something. The passenger's fate already sealed. The targets were saved. Tragically, the flight crew and civilians couldn't be.

This is all that I was trying to say.

My argument is against the people who attempt to use a tragic event like this against our government. What is their motivation, other than aiding the enemy?

All evidence today points to the outstanding citizens of that aircraft, as being responsible for heroic actions.

If, because of scientific forensic evidence that we learn another story of the actual events, it simply does not matter.

I question the people who dare to trivialize the actions of that day.

The people, on the aircraft, were American heroes!

I agree with you. No doubt the news media and the Democrats would have made political hay of it, but I believe the American people would understand that it might be necessary to shoot down a plane rather than have terrorists crash it into a city, killing all the passengers anyway and taking thousands more lives as well.

At the time, I thought that if it had to be shot down, they should have just said so, instead of covering it up like a clinton. Now I'm not so sure, after having watched for the past four years the way the Democrats and the gutterspawn in the media use such tragedies for political purposes.
