They were on a phone line, couldnt see their faces.
McCain actually said something like "I doubt this is state sponsored terrorism by a country like Iraq or Afghanistan...because they know we will nail the bastards who did this, and massive retaliation would result if it was state sponsored."
I'm paraphrasing there of course, not word for word. I was surprised to hear a senator say the words "nail the bastards" on national television...=O
Like I said, both of them...ballistic.
I have always thought Mc Cain should have been elected President. He has the force and drive to get things done and will not wimp out.

it's tough to retaliate against an extremist terrorist group because by definition they really don't have any problems with the idea of dying for their cause in the first place, unlike pearl harbor where we had a whole country to turn against, etc...
yep

What? Over what, were not rioting? The attacks have subsidded? What do you justify this on?
I said "close" and I base this on the possiblity that these attacks may not yet be over. In order to gain control of the situation, all im saying is dont be suprised if its declared. Not that I want it for Christ Sake.
I was a bit shocked that McCain said bastards as well, though he did speak his mind. He is correct in his assessment though. Anytime we have found out that a terrorist act was state sponsored, we have reacted accordingly......Taliban on......more later....
Geezus, I am still in shock and my stomache is still very upset. It is 1 am here (Hong Kong) and there is not way that I will be able to get any sleep. :(

[vdz]patton 09-11-2001, 11:55 AM some of the changes that will occur in our country because of this:
1) air marshals on every flight with shoot to kill orders
2) pilots instructed in how to kamikaze plane safely so only those on the aircraft will die.
3) fighter aircraft on combat air patrol over all major cities so that if a plane is hijacked, it will be shot down if it tries to get anywhere near a major metropolitan center.
4) increased budgets for defense, intelligence and missile defenses.
5) the eventual extermination of the entire organization responsible for this.
6) preemptive strikes against any and all organizations that look like they may be a threat to the United states.
we will have our revenge, and if the government won't do it, the american people will, one way or another.
fedex 09-11-2001, 11:55 AM HK - if that's true - when this blows over I hope he watches himself how he handled it and fucking kicks himself in the anus.
He was flying commy.. I doubt he had a map of where he was supposed to hit.
CapnPyro 09-11-2001, 11:55 AM my friends in delta force, i hope he and his teams go fuck some terrorists up :(

what an idiot...they didnt care about that...just that they could hit it was enought to put fear in the minds of America...The act itself was the target.

He sure sounded impressive in that interview. Succinct, to the point, pissed.

Well considering McCains history, him knuckling under to anything or anyone would be remote.

I'm sorry but you're an idiot.
Why in the fuck would any normal american get on any aircraft if they knew it would be shot down at any minute?
Alchamex 09-11-2001, 11:56 AM To those who think this tragic event does not affect their lives (*cough teqnik*), keep laughing cause your stupidity will catch up to you sooner or later.
The World Trade Center is a major hub for WORLD-WIDE business. Just look at the name - World Trade Center. In the 100+ floors of each tower, crucial documents and computer data centers are stored there. Those documents and computers are now either burned up or sitting under tons of rubble.
The loss of information and lives from this tragic event is going to ripple through to every country in the world...especially the ENTIRE United States.
Your credit card company could have had their headquaters on one of the many floors of the buildings and now all their data is lost. Maybe the company that does the payroll for company you work for was in the building. An immeasurable amount of extremely important data and people are now forever lost. Just imagine what is going to happen to the economy after this disaster. Many major financial instutions are based in those towers.
The only thing thats certain is that the world is forever changed after this day.

Hell isn't the pentagon built to withstand attacks like this? I think they could have selected better targets(capital hill).

Being a P.O.W. in a bamboo prison for a few years can make you a little uptight.
