Where exactly were you 14 years ago when you learned of the events of 9-11 ?


Note to juries: It is 9-11-2015, so this is a timely topic.

I was in a Florida state prison (working, mind you) talking to my male prisoner clients, when one of the inmates came up to the group and said "A plane just struck the World Trade Center". I said to him, reflexively, "You're kidding, right ?". He looked at me very seriously and said, "Mr. X, now why would I joke about something like that ?". I forget what was said next, but then several minutes later I went to watch a TV inside the inmate dormitory. The second plane had struck the second tower and the picture was shaking on the news.

A bad day for me and for America as a whole.

2. I was off from work, and watching tv

I had a front row seat to all of it except the first plane hitting.

By the end of the day, I knew we were going to war in the Middle East, and GWB would be leading the charge.

That sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when SCOTUS handed him the presidency? 10x worse at that point. Even my worst fears didn't stack up to where we are now because of all of that.

147. I was quite worried and anxious that they would take us to war

The next day I voiced my concerns that Bush would take us to war only to have one of my workmates tell me that if I hated America so much maybe I should go live somewhere else. I was shocked at what she said.

Years later, into Bush's second 'term' she was lamenting the war and was telling someone, "No one could have foreseen the war being bad!"

I talked over her and said "What do you mean, no one?!"

"Well no one but you."

She had the decency to look chagrined.

81. I still go with incompetence or indifference.

We had incompetents in charge of the country, and they were too dumb to know that their indifference to intelligence received was going to be lethal. 9/11 shouldn't have allowed Bush back into the WH in 2004, it should have been the reason he should never have gotten out of the starting gate on his second try.

**** OFF every single one of you assholes.

It looks as if ol' bloodyaxe has worked his way into the Top Ten DUmmies of 2015.

I dunno how high, but somewhere in there.

He's so ****ing lame.

Where were you on 09-11-2012?  I knew Sir golfsalot would drop the ball big time and blame it on an internet video and sadly he did not disappoint

I'm  sure that if G. W. Bush had handed down an E.O on Feb 1, 2001, the DUmmies would have joyfully pulled their shoes off, gone through a metal detector and let someone feel them up for security. ....Yeah, I'm positive they would have been glad to comply.

Uh, huh ..  ::)

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Evidently luna doesn't know that when an enemy state commits an act of war against your country, you already are at war.
And obviously luna paid no mind to the 9/11 commission report that stated radical islam was at war with us long before 9/11

Thanks to a gargantuan lib, who built an intelligence wall, Jamie Gorelick...such intelligence was not able to be passed from agency to agency.
Thus was our fate sealed.

The DUmp called our soldiers baby killers

Notice they weren't the least bit concerned that a bunch of ****ing terrorists flew planes into the twin towers, just whether or not we were going to war (like they would have any skin in the game). Not one of you ****ing assholes lost anything over there, not a limb, not a buddy, not a son or daughter, not a grandson, nephew or best friend. I hope to God you guys end up in the cross hairs of the next attack. I can't imagine a more diserving group.

We were attacked, and they were afraid we'd go to war.

If the jug-eared muslim had been in office, he would have apologized to the savages on 9/12.
