I have a feeling we will be going to war.
We're at war. We just need to know which direction to aim our weapons.

DEFCON
defense condition. Refers to the condition of readiness of America forces. It operates on a scale of 1 to 5. DEFCON-5 is peace time operations. DEFCON-1 is an all out shooting war. DEFCON-2 is a very high state of readiness. Nuclear missile keys are in the locks, planes are in constant sorties, and ground forces are equipped with live ammo. The last time America reached DEFCON-2 was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

CapnPyro 09-11-2001, 10:31 AM that's still amazing, each world trade tower was 100+ stories. that's incredibly huge, so much important information that goes through there, does anyone have an idea how it will effect our economy?

more than 10 times as many people may already be dead.
One thing terroists do not realize is that everytime someone has made it personal (ie; Pearl Harbor) America gets even. When you bring it to our door step we bring living hell to theirs. We have returned a thousand times the horror that is visited upon us. They may start it but we do finish it.
If they wanted to completely unite America against them, their cause, their people and their country they have found the perfect way to do it.
This is just the beginning.
Our world has changed today and things are going to get very, very ugly.
Someone is going to get obliterated and the people responsable had better be running because there will not be a hole deep enough to hide. Any country that is involved has better be prepared for war because that is exactly what they have declared upon America.
Mortez 09-11-2001, 10:32 AM two american airline's planes which it wtc had 156 passangers on them.

Anything, anyone associated with Bin Laden is in for big trouble.

Yes but how many were alive when it hit? If YOU were on a plane getting highjacked and planned to do what it did, would YOU sit idlely by? Maybe thats what happened on the 2 United Arlines flights.
