But give or take, in 20 years, we would have forgot 9/11 ever happened. Then hijackers can take over our planes again.

Nah...by then, either the Middle East will be glass, or we'll be a plague-ravaged wasteland - or maybe both.

"I'm a veteran."

That's an interesting picture on your homepage. What line of departure were you crossing and what were you on?

[P-40]

I'd say that the level of leadership from this administration has been consistent.

What does that mean?

[P-40]

The Bush Administration ain't shown me nothing.

But have you actually looked at what has been done? Very, very few have.

"I took from the troop commander's hatch on an AAV-7 in the Delta Corridor at 29 Palms in 1984."

Oh. Where did you serve during Desert Storm?

[P-40]

What are the big accomplishments?

The biggest changes have come in the intelligence community, the removal of 'the wall' being one of the best examples. Another big change is prosecuting terrorism conviction and prevention as a military matter and not a legal one. And quite frankly the biggest change is that we take terrorism seriously now.

It would appear "Line of Departure" is no longer with us. There were several things about his story (and his homepage picture) that weren't adding up. Nice job to the mods.
