[B-Cause]

An open letter to a terrorist:

Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helpless American bodies, to take out other American bodies, but like a poor marksman, you STILL missed America.

Why? Because of something you guys will never understand. America isn't about a building or two, not about financial centers, not about military centers, America isn't about a place, America isn't even about a bunch of bodies. America is about an IDEA. An idea, that you can go someplace where you can earn as much as you can figure out how to, live for the most part, like you envisioned living, and pursue Happiness. (No guarantees that you'll reach it, but you can sure try!)

Go ahead and whine your terrorist whine, and chant your terrorist litany: "If you can not see my point, then feel my pain." This concept is alien to Americans. We live in a country where we don't have to see your point. But you're free to have one. We don't have to listen to your speech. But you're free to say one. Don't know where you got the strange idea that everyone has to agree with you. We don't agree with each other in this country, almost as a matter of pride. We're a collection of guys that don't agree, called States. We united our individual states to protect ourselves from tyranny in the world. Another idea, we made up on the spot. You CAN make it up as you go, when it's your country.

If you're free enough.

Yeah, we're fat, sloppy, easy-going goofs most of the time. That's an unfortunate image to project to the world, but it comes of feeling free and easy about the world you live in. It's unfortunate too, because people start to forget that when you attack Americans, they tend to fight like a cornered badger. The first we knew of the War of 1812, was when England burned Washington D.C. to the ground. Didn't turn out like England thought it was going to, and it's not going to turn out like you think, either. Sorry, but you're not the first bully on our shores, just the most recent.

No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans, either. We were the FIRST and so far, only country in the world to use nuclear weapons in anger. Horrific idea, nowadays? News for you bucko, it was back then too, but we used it anyway. Only had two of them in the whole world and we used 'em both. Grandpa Jones worked on the Manhattan Project. Told me once, that right up until they threw the switch, the physicists were still arguing over whether the Uranium alone would fission, or whether it would start a fissioning chain reaction that would eat everything. But they threw the switch anyway, because we had a War to win. Does that tell you something about American Resolve?

So who just declared War on us? It would be nice to point to some real estate, like the good old days. Unfortunately, we're probably at war with random camps, in far-flung places. Who think they're safe. Just like the Barbary Pirates did. Better start sleeping with one eye open.

There's a spirit that tends to take over people who come to this country, looking for opportunity, looking for liberty, looking for freedom. Even if they misuse it. The Marielistas that Castro emptied out of his prisons, were overjoyed to find out how much freedom there was. First thing they did when they hit our shores, was run out and buy guns. The ones that didn't end up dead, ended up in prisons. It was a big PITA then (especially in south Florida), but you're only the newest PITA, not the first.

You guys seem to be incapable of understanding that we don't live in America, America lives in US! American Spirit is what it's called. And killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won't change it. Most of the time, it's a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit. Until we're crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes an entirely different kind of Spirit.

Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit, this time. Sleep tight, if you can. We're coming.

Attacks on the United States

Scharping: "We Are Not On The Brink Of War"

HB/fad LONDON. In the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist atrocities in the U.S., German Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping insisted on Thursday that Germany "was not on the brink of war", but stressed that action had be taken to combat "new challenges to our common security".

In an interview with public television station ARD, the minister spoke of a "measured response" to acts of terrorism such as those seen perpetrated against the U.S. on Tuesday. While he ruled out a revenge or "retaliatory attack", Scharping said that: "In some isolated cases military force is unavoidable".

He continued, "International terrorism is not usually a cause for war between countries. But there is always the fear that some states either support terrorism or are in the hands of terrorists. In as far as the scenarios change, then so must the responses."

On Wednesday, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for first time in its 52-year history invoked Article 5 of its charter, which declares an "armed attack" on any member state to be an attack on all members of the alliance. This means that the U.S. will be able to call on the support of all 18 of its NATO partners for any potential military response to Tuesday's terrorist atrocities. Scharping said that Germany would decide on its role in any unified attack when the time came.

Meanwhile, Joschka Fischer, Germany's Foreign Minister met with the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Daniel Coats. After the meeting Fischer expressed agreement with his U.S. counterpart, Secretary of State Colin Powell, on the need to continue searching for a political solution to the conflict in the Middle East.

Thank you for posting these articles.

I hope that all those blowhards who lambasted the passengers about "not doing anything" are mighty ashamed of themselves about now.

Now is the time for ALL TRUE Americans to UNITE and stand behind President Bush!
Any political differences should be put aside during this time of America's darkest hours.
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

God Bless America!
V is for VICTORY!
What We as Americans Can Do
1) Pray
2) Give blood and whatever else the Red Cross calls for.
3) Support our military and law enforcement.
4) Never talk to ANYONE
in person, on a phone line, in an e-mail, in a chat room,
on an internet instant messenger or post on any forum
any military troop movement information or law enforcement information
that would endanger our troops or hinder law enforcement efforts.

LOOSE LIPS SINKS SHIPS!

thanks for the bump

[Vast Buffalo Wing Conspiracy]

So, apprently, is the United States, thanks to the open-borders globalist corpocrats on the right and the multiculturalist liberals on the left, who have inflicted millions of seething, resentful third-world immigrants on us over the last several decades---against the wishes of the American people.

Yes, and the same elites ("right" or "left") who erased our national borders are now beating the war drums demanding that we engage in armed conflict everywhere. Draw your own conclusions as to who benefits.

[No Truce With Kings]

Pakistan's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, has promised full cooperation with the United States in its fight against terrorism.

Translation into Texian: "Me no Alamo! Me no Alamo!"

(Read an account of the Battle of San Jacinto, if you do not understand the allusion.)

My guess is it means he doesn't want his country pulverized.???

[No Truce With Kings]

Something like that. It must be hell being a nuclear power, but unable to realistically threaten to use your toys. . . .

Great post t-shirt. Glick, Burnett and the other heros that apparently charged the flight deck and saved the Nation another added tragedy aren't getting near enough coverage.

The actions of such heros should not be overlooked.

This thing has connections everywhere and the FBI & CIA have their bloody fingerprints all over it where they repeated refused to take proper action.

What a horrific disgrace the FBI and CIA are.

FBI detains 5 Israelis for having connection with WTC incident

Updated on 2001-09-19 14:12:04

NEW YORK, September 19 (PNS): Five Israelis who had worked for a moving company based in New Jersey were held by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for having links with the World Trade Center incident in New York last Tuesday.

According to Information Times, the five are expected to be deported sometime soon.

The five were transferred out of the FBI's facility on Saturday morning and are now being held in two prisons in New Jersey by the Immigration and Naturalization Services. They are charged with illegally residing in the United States and working there without permits.

The Foreign Ministry said in response that it had been informed by the consulate in New York that the FBI had arrested the five for "puzzling behaviour." They are said to have had been caught videotaping the disaster and shouting in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery. End.

Possibly they thought they could make big money selling the video tapes.
