Oh yeah this is the bit where you bomb Afghanistan back to 'the stone age'. I wish someone would tell America it's already there. All you'll do is shake up the graves and stir up the sand and kill a few thousand civilians which the Taliban themselves have been doing for years.

It is a good day to begin.

October 7 is the anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto (1571), another Islamic defeat.

Yeah obviously the Bush Administration realized that all the pissed off Americans would be watching football. So he planed to bomb them right before the first games.

Go Bears and GO USA

Rumsfeld will brief from the Pentagon this afternoon. Power stations out, "so far so good",per military official. Just the beginning of a LONG stay. Aid will arrive soon to the starving in Afghanistan. "Once softening of targets done, US troops will be on the ground for a long time"

I thought you would agree.

Lets all watch our backs here in the homeland. Don't take your eyes off anyone suspicious.

Yes, folks. President Bush just announced it, as I'm sure you all know by now. I prefer FOX News for my "fair and balanced" reports!. . .

Excerpt of President Bush's radio address to the nation September 15, 2001 after the WTC/Pentagon Terrorists Attacks of September 11, 2001:

This is a conflict without battlefields or beachheads, a conflict with opponents who believe they are invisible. Yet, they are mistaken. They will be exposed, and they will discover what others in the past have learned: Those who make war against the United States have chosen their own destruction.

Yeah! Reminds me of an old song, Rockin' Robin! It's a NEW version, though (hold on to you hat! are you ready for this?). It's called: "Rockin' Laden!" I know, I know - "Boo-Hiss!" ;-)

Wow! Now THERE's a blast from the past - pardon the pun. . .
When I posted that, I was only guessing because I hadn't heard a confirmed report. Four days later, I leave for China - a trip I'd had planned for months. My flight left within minutes of the first month anniversary of the first Twin Tower collision.
bump!
