Our guard was down

[SON OF HARRY HOPE]

"On September 11, 2001, Our guard was down. America vowed that morning
that we would never let that happen
again. And yet, after five years many of us have grown weary of
maintaining our defenses. America is in danger of
losing sight of the enemy. (Many of us already have.) We have become
so distracted by the political fights over how to
defend ourselves that we seem to have forgotten why we need to. Today
would be a good time to stop bickering and
remember that we are all Americans, and therefore all targeted by a
resolute army of fanatical warriors. The enemy does
not care if we are Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative,
believer or atheist. It just wants us defeated. Polls
report that more than a third of Americans, and nearly half of New
Yorkers, believe that our own government either
orchestrated the attacks or deliberately allowed them to happen. Such
insanity can only be spread in a society that has
lost its bearings. We must refocus on our common enemy: the Islamic
radicals who want to establish their own despotic
empire and view us as the most important obstacle in their path.
America was attacked five years ago by agents of
radical Islam. Their successors are fighting us in Iraq and
Afghanistan and awaiting their chance to wound us again on
our own soil. That is not a fantasy. It is the world in which we all
live. Despite discouragements and setbacks, America
can win this new and challenging war. But only if we fight the right
enemy." ---The New Hampshire Union Leader

But some Americans, sadly, are not interested in victory. And yet they
want us to believe that their behavior is Patriotic.
Well, it's not."

Today Iraq+Iran have just made Bush & U.S. look like stupid idiots SEE them
shaking hands while 2 American soldiers have just died for what???

"The American military today reported the deaths of two soldiers, one killed
by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad late Tuesday, the other killed on Monday
in combat in Anbar province in the country's west. "

CHECK THIS OUT - UNBELIEVABLE!

"In Tehran, Mr. Maliki met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and declared
afterwards that "even in security issues, there is no barrier in the way of
cooperation." For his part, Mr. Ahmadinejad said, "Iran will give its
assistance to establish complete security in Iraq, because Iraq's security
is Iran's security." It was not clear what form Iranian support on security
would take, or how it would be regarded by the American authorities here."

Incompetent and fanatic!

Know something, I never subscribed to the conspiracy thing. Perhaps it was
due to me not being able to believe that any government would attempt such a
terrible thing.

But now, I wonder.
A columnist (not a political one) in Philly was doing a piece on the horror
people went through that day. He stated that he had read a report that said
people were falling 103 stories in ten seconds.

It was the Artist/Muse that got it.
She reminded me of the excerpts we had read from the 9-11 Commission Report
that said the towers came down....in about the same amount of time.

How could tons of concrete an acre wide each floor, fall as quickly as a 130
lb. woman or 210 lb. guy?

That would mean that the floors would have had to be as unimpeded as much as
bodies in freefall.

Then there are some Americans who care more about a dog fart than about what
Rush Limbaugh has to say.
