All,
This is the most amazing video I have seen and I am now po'ed to no end. Brings home why we are in the middle east right now.
It's a phone call of Kevin Cosgrove to a 9/11 operator while in Tower 2 of the World Trade Center. The call is set to video and is chilling.

My sincerest condolences to the Cosgrove, Cherry, and Otaru families.
no I do not. Problem is, the Islamists would be just fine if they killed each and every one of us. That is what we are up againt. How in the world do we "negotiate" with people like this?
I agree. She knew what was going on and apparently KC did not. I noticed that she didn't tell him what everyone knew by then, it was a terrorist act. He was already hysterical I believe. I'm sorry for him and his family. But she has my sympathy too. She heard the man die. It must have hurt her deeply.
You know what? In the face of horror and death, *desperation* and survival take over. How anyone could piece apart this man's words is despicable to me. The MAN WAS 105 FLOORS IN THE BURNING SKY!!!!!! He was desperately trying to make her grab hold of him and PULL HIM OUT of there! My gosh. Our media love to piece apart our troops in combat in a similar manner. Soldiers might be yelling all sorts of nasty things and swear words as they run toward their enemy. For anyone to dissect those things, is simply UNFAIR!

i am just speechless.
I've sat here for five minutes after viewing it and still have no words.
As I posted earlier, I've got dibs on the old, dancing broad with no teeth with my bare hands.
"Kill all those muslims.
You meant only the terrorist ones, right?"
How do you seperate them out when the religion calls for killing infidels?
I'm one of em, I said I didn't like your attitude, I just happen to agree with some of what you are saying. You advocate the extermination of Muslims. Thats a tall order. In fact, rather stupid. As I have posted, although there are a ton of "bad" muslims, there are also a ton of "not bad" muslims. Let me ask you, do you currently know, or have known, ANY muslims? I have, and of those (about 50), I'd say only one needs killin. (Some were American muslims, some were foreign, back in my college days). In particular, the ones in back in college were absolutely "normal" guys, who were just like the rest of us. They were Muslims in name only. And many of them fell in love with America and decided to stay here.
I am not being some PC idiot either, I say, if you celebrated the towers collapsing on 9/11, you definately need killin. Boiled in pig fat.
You talking to the "head choppers" or Freepers?
Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I bought a Koran and read some of it. I'm a Christian, and most here would consider me a fanatic, extremist, Christian. If they believe the Koran, they will kill you, your wife, your children and your dog, and use the same knife to cut the evening meal and never flinch. They are worshiping a god of lies and death. What does my Bible say their god is? Why do you think they lie with every breath? They have no honor, even at the highest level. What if the pope stood on his little balcony every day and said lies and told his followers to kill 80% of the population of earth? Don't you think someone would say something? We aren't allowed to tell the truth about murderers?
90% of the world watched as the Jewish hostages were taken and solderers were killed, ON ISRAELI LAND, and most of the world is telling the Jews to "tone it down"?
I say Viet Nam was a good example of "limited war". Never again! I think Patton said it best," Use their guts to grease their track of your tanks." My father bombed Germany in WWII from a B-24. They felt he was a hero and gave him the DFC with 4 oak leaf clusters. He knew when he let the bombs go, or let loose with his .50 cals, he was hitting schools, hospitals, civilians, you name it. He never lost sleep over that. He did lose sleep over his buddies losing their heads and getting pitch forked by "children" when they bailed out. For him, their was no moral question about killing all the Germans he was able to.
The sooner we realize these muslims follow satan, the more inocent lives will be saved. Toning down doesn't work when they are cutting your friends and families throat. We are either at war, or we are not. There is no in between.
I believe I have a better grasp on the issue than you.
Thanks for playing.
"You both miss the point.
What are we preserving if we are just as hate filled?
And why should I want to stand beside you in any fight?"
What we are preserving is our lives, the lives of our children, and the very concept of civilization. If it takes a little hate to do it, then that is what will need to happen.
I'm sure many more comments will follow mine, but most of the comments I've read ("I'm speechless") leaves me speechless too. Add to that the speculation of what type a man KC was, and comments by that Antisheehan poster (who's prolly gonna get banned, btw) and all the other replies just almost make me wanna cry too.
Can't wait till I'm home and also able to be in for a shock.
No, just the one! The rest are normal folks. Some of them are a$$holes, but then, so what group doesn't have its a$$holes? Some freepers would probably qualify.
But I digress, I can agree that we oughta kill all the Islamists, but the hyperbole you offer is A) impractical, B) counterproductive, and C) simply immoral.
Wrong question.
If the Islamic Mullahs got their hands on her would they would bury her in the sand up to her neck and have a large crowd of people throw large boulders at her head. Can you deny that they would? Would she not be considered an apostate by Islam?
Horror of the greatest magnitude occurred that day. The unspeakable images and the loss of our loved ones will never be forgotten.
I deeply desire the most horrible death to the evil ones, their enablers and supporters that brought death to America's door that day; the eleventh of September, 2001.
If I were in the 105th floor of a burning building after a major explosion happened in the lower floors, I'd either be making my way to the roof in hopes of a helicopter rescue or saying prayers for God to take my spirit and comfort my family knowing I had little time left to live.
Terrorism aside, when you work that high up, you have few options in a major fire.
