Thats right, and anyone that can say both are a mistake and listen to that without feeling anything and still think we shouldn't be there. in my mind are close to the same kind of people that caused this.

very chilling 911 call. like others have said, damn

Edited out because after further consideration I realize my political feelings have no place in this thread.

There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: "Fool me once...shame on...shame on you...if fooled, you can't get fooled again."

Well, you've been fooled at least once.

The sad thing is that this thread is probably going to degrade into a flamefest...

Damnit you guys, how hard is it to show a little maturity and NOT turn everything into a damn political diatribe?

Unfortunately. People can't check their politics at the door sometimes.

Somehow I doubt that. They'd have at least some time to contemplate what was going on, and while I'm sure some were struck by falling debris I can only imagine that some people experienced a substantial fall before it ended.

I remember when they did an analysis of the Oklahoma bombing they found people on the top floors on the bottom.... below most of the debris. Some people "fell" all the way to the bottom.

Actually thats why Canada is in Afghanistan... I dont even know if the US has had any activity there other then a few special ops forces since the end of 2001 or early 2002.

This is why 4 Canadian soldiers were killed over the weekend. Thank them and their families.

This is NOT why the U.S. is occupying Iraq. Thats a whole 'nother agenda but I'll leave it at that as this is not P&N.

You're probably right, and thinking about it again I don't think he saw much at all. He described the smoke as being thick and black, so what he experienced was probably a sudden collapse of the floor.

In my eyes that makes it even more horrible.

Looks like you didn't check yours too a few posts up, though I saw you edited it.

Afghanistan, yes - Iraq probably not.

Please don't make me express my real feelings for W. That video was enough gut wrenching for tonight.

Iraq had nothing, whatsoever, even in the most indirect sense, to do with 9/11. I am an Operating Enduring Freedom vet and I was proud to serve in a combat zone in prosecution of the war in Afghanistan. That said, I'd say the people who use the rage they feel at a tape like this to rationalize an offensive war with a completely unrelated country are closer to the people who caused this than any anti-war true believer.


This tape is really awful, heartbreaking actually. RIP, Mr. Cosgrove.
