Today I feel like one of the passengers on the doomed 9/11 flights
Bush is Mohammed Atta and he is flying us at full speed into a figurative WTC

Who is going to stand up and say "Let's Roll?"

Sorry, I just needed to let off steam after hearing that Bush is officially gonna nuke Iran

3. I was thinking the same thing, but in a different connection.
I was wondering what I could say to local people who seem unaware how our city councilman is their mortal enemy.

3 of the planes on 9/11 hit their targets because the passengers figured someone else was in charge of handling the matter, and they didn't know the intentions of the hijackers.

Are we on the 4th plane? A few are saying "let's roll", but most say "no, let's wait".

5. I have always wondered about this
What is the point of having 72 virgins (or any one member of the opposite sex) at one's beck and call if neither one nor this celestial harem are in corporal form?

16. My experience with Congressional Reps leads me to believe
that waiting for the Dems to impeach is like calling the FAA from flight 93 for help.

7. Kinda makes the spineless Democrats charge meaningless.
When everyone is hunkered down in a ditch, no spine easy to bend over. I remember how to duck and cover from Elementary School days.

9. So unhunker. Stand up and fight election fraud, 9/11 coverups,
torture, lying, Dems running interference for the terrorist cabal that has taken over
this country.

Edited on Sat Apr-08-06 04:33 PM by petgoat
heavy weights. Everybody take off your belt and lash a non-combatant's shoe to it.
Break your tray table off and break the steel slides off for knives. Break off seat
arms for clubs. Cut your seat belt off to make a flail. Cut all the seatbelt
buckles off to stone. Shake up sodas to spray. Get out the fire extinguishers.
Load up that dinner cart. It's time, folks. What are we going to do if they steal
the 2006 elections?

(Let me add, I'm speaking metaphorically. I am a non-violent information warrior.
As long as the right of free speech allows us to fight with information, violence is
unnecessary and counterproductive.)

The Newsweek article about Cheney "The Shot Heard Round the World" says the 9/11
Commission researchers did not find Cheney's story credible, and Newsweek's citation
of 9:35 as the time Cheney got to the White House bunker is a challenge to the
Commission's estimate of 9:58, which is safely too late to have ordered flight 93 shot
down.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11436302/site/newsweek/page/6/

The 9/11 Commission account (pp 40-41) is full of weaseley language that implies,
rather than states, the facts.

Norm Mineta told the 9/11 Commission that when he got to the bunker at 9:20, Cheney
was discussing with a young man an apparent shoot-down order issued against the flight
77, which was then approaching DC. Mineta's timeframe is corroborated by Richard
Clarke's account. The 9/11 Commission ignores Mineta's report, and claims the
discussion applied to a phantom flight 93 after it had crashed. The authority for this
story is Scooter, Lynn Cheney, and White House notes.

Something here stinks. Scholars for 9/11 Truth have a petition calling for the young man
to testify, as well as the release of other suppressed evidence. You can sign the
petition here: http://www.st911.org/

11. That is the greater crime.
So heinous it is unthinkable. That is just what many have done stopped thinking or asking questions.

I got a tour of a 9/11 site recently. Asked what happened to the remains of the plane just got shrugs and the leader of the tour figured it was thrown away. (To that I offered no comment) I also got to look at a window that was the impact site of an aircraft. I would say there must have been a very good pilot on hand to fly it into the door, not spread it out on the lawn. A truly amazing angle when viewed from the impact site one I will never ever forget.

I could have asked more questions but the answers would just have embarrassed the young people (who are innocent and accepting) conducting the tour and I would have started to show how upset I was.

signed one who has thought the unthinkable

15. I'm thinking I sank the fair ship "Today I feel like one of the passengers
on the doomed 9/11 flights"

I thought it was a great image that deserved 50 recs; I'll suppose my piling on with facts about
flight 93 alienated the DU faithful.
