did you guys ever consider with the intelligence at the time, we know of at least 20 were involved....19 in the planes and Osama himself, and lets face it to plan something like that another 50 or so had to be involved........that there was not one leak, or even these knuckleheads told them down in Florida we just want to learn how to fly a plane and not land one......maybe just maybe, we knew this was going to happen?
answer yes or no. was it possible that we knew this was going to happen?, after all they tried and didnt succeed in 93 to knock those buildings down and failed. anyone can answer the question, I hate to say this and I know it was collateral damage and innocent lives were lost. It was tried in 93 during Clinton, but Clinton sent in guided missiles right into Al Qaeda camps, no troops on the ground and was told to back off killing Bin Laden because of Saudi ties. now Bin Laden waited for Bush to get into office because the results would be an all out ground war, they hit the finacial center crippling it and This guy aint no dummy knowing Bushes personality, Osama's goal was to drag us into Af-stan and break the country financially. If someone can convince me that the US government knew nothing at all about 9-11, I'll listen go to work today and tell one person a secret, make one up...see how long the secret takes to get back to you, its human nature to talk eventually. my point, is we knew 9-11 was on the table ski, I'll go to the wall, I'll go to Gettysburg, I'll go to Normandy, weve been a free country for over 200 years last time I checked, its not a freedom fight anymore. |

Eric,
If I would have been President during 9/11, I would have either attacked in one way. PUSH THE BUTTON!! But I know some other countries could start shooting so you got to watch. But to me, screw it push the button and drink that oil rag head. Far as you worried about lives being wasted, people want to die for this country. It is a choice, freedom that we have. Go to Washington at look at the statues in the Monument of those people. It is amazing the people that died for this country because it is so great to live in. We dont need any beurocrats running our country. Most, not all, but most of democrats all have similar polcies and views. Higher taxes, against cap and trade, goverment reform, weak boarders, against war(which makes you a wossie country, and we are not a wossie country, flex your muscles), redistrubute wealth, and of course then also things christians and alot of other relgions are against. Gay marriage, abortion etc. I did not see anything interesting to me in there. Leave Bush alone, he did a good job, I SURE WISH I HAD HIM BACK!! |

Your Tyson comment proves my point. You would have taken anyone over Bush without any regard to thier political stance. It is like being sick of a cold and opting for cancer instead. And by the way. HE WAS NOT RUNNING. I know you have particularly strong antiwar feelings. I am much more concerned with economic policy, but I will argue the "no reason at all" comment. 9 months into W's presidency 3000 civilians died and two buildings were leveled. Their was not a military target or personel at that site so I dont take much concern with collateral damage that we might inflict. I am not the one to say how best to fight alquida. They are not a country, you have to pick where you are going to go after them, and then they surround themselves with civilians, some co-conspirators and others innocent. I do know that we had to do something. Kevin costners character in dancing with wolves after being raided by the indians said "I have become a target and a target does not make a good impression" In my personal experience I had a bully who in junior high would stick his grubby little fingers in my food and then ask "are you going to eat this" Of course the answer would be "not any more". This went on for way to long with me doing nothing out of fear and the problem getting worse. Finally one day his arm snuck under mine to steal a french frie off my plate. I traped his arm with mine and with my free hand I picked up a fork and drove it into the back of his french frie stealing hand. I took one last back blow for my effort but the problem ended. By the way, by voting in this socialist how has anything changed? He has followed bushes plans with very little change. The surge that Obama said could not work, was just proclaimed a success by...Obama, and he has escalated the war which he calls just in Afganistan. And where are all the antiwar protesters. I would say thier activites decreased by about 90% the day Obama was elected. Your heart may be true, but this shows me that 90% are hypocritcal polotically motivated hacks, or they would be out on the street corners every week like they were in 08. I do not feel I was lied to by Bush except when he called himself a fiscal conservative. If you are talking about WMD's we know they were there because Sadam used them on the Kurds. The toothless UN inspectors were delayed wherever they went offering plenty of opportunity for things to have been moved. |

OMH, if Mike tyson ran on the democratic ticket he would of got my vote,
Radical? you shove Bush mentality under the rug, his demeaner has cost 5000 lives already for no reason at all....plus a couple hundred thousand Iraqi lives...his decision to go into Iraq was a personal decision to appease a vendetta....he conned the American people to justify it, he too looked you straight in the eyes and lied to you, same as being duped... he would make a great dictator, thank God we are not under that type of government....im sure the bombs wouldve flown by now if he was |

Eric, Go back and read what some of us were trying to tell you before the election. We were dead on about this guy. We told you the sky was blue but you were so against Bush that you desperatly wanted to believe the sky was yellow. There was a choice. I voted for the least of two weasles. You, your friends and the media fell for the empty hope and change promises and completely ignored this guys radical agenda and background. You should be disolussioned. You were douped and blind and we are all suffering because of it. Someone elso posted a quote here from a foriegn source that said something similar to: America can survive Obamas term but might not survive a voter base that is so ignorant that they would elect him. Being dissolusioned usually means you need to open you eyes a little more because you failed to see things properly in the first place. |

i gotta love the food stamp one, im not here promoting anything Obama has to offer, I was forced to vote for the guy and stating facts, I thought i would never see a black president, he is in there for one reason....the other choice, there wasnt one, or really I was fed up with those boys
I have a feeling if I said the sky is blue, you guys would come back and try to convince me it was yellow. I have lost complete faith in the political system |

Eric The banks like the rest of the buisness world do not like uncertainty and the current regime has created more uncertainty than any other I can remember. Banks are currently able to borrow money at 0% and they are. They are then re-investing in bonds and other guarenteed inveastments. They may only return a few percent but they will not loose and the banks are comfortable with that until they see the effects of sunseting the tax cuts for the rich, Obamacare, the possibility of a double dip recession and deficit spending. I cannot blame them. When you hear about buisnesses hording money this is what they are talking about. Companies are choosing to pay overtime or forgo expanding for the same reason. No one knows what an employee will cost in terms of taxes and benefits two years from now. |

Eric, With all due respect for the work you do on our transmissions, and the nice guy I know you are, do you have any proof about carpet bombing Iraq 24 hours a day? I am sure that never happened. North Korea does have WMD and the means to deliver them. They are on notice due to our action in Iraq and A'stan that we will take them out in a heartbeat. They understand the technology gap. There is a lot of "darkworld" things going on vs. Korea due to the insane nature of their closed society that are not known. Also, China throws a large shadow on N Korea. Things in real life are never a one for one. |

Maybe we need to remind these countries that we have them and know how to use them. Instead of promising we will play nice. Send them a picture of their country on a map, accompanied by a picture of the same map without their country. How the world will lokk in 48 hrs. Your choice. Your answer is? |

Obviously we have 2 different views creating the same thing that is happening in our government,
Taxes are a part of life, it built this country, your 401 paid everyone's mortgage, we carpet bombed Iraq for 24 hours a day 7 days a week (imprecisely), you really don't hear about the innocents, the children not fogged with terrorists thoughts....we go in, supply them with better medical than most here in this country have, rebuild them, we both know we weren't' chasing WMDs, Im for taking out a country, but for the right reason. people create hate to justify a situation and to relieve your soul of wrong doings. were there, we've occupied and now what? BTW, North Korea does have WMD, and the means to transport them into this country....the problem with this situation is if you cross over they re border, they do have them and will use them....but if you ain't got em....you cant use em...pretty ironic |

What do I think of an article that is one and a half years old that is in the middle of the Bush tax cuts and Charles Rangel's 50% of the nation THAT PAYS NO TAX??? Why, I think its out of date and never mentions that the Democrat controlled house and senate makes sure that working class middle America needs to pay taxes for Democrat voters! Just be quiet and pay your mortage while your neighbors default twice on your dime. Sweet. ![]() |

Eric, Iraq had WMD, true or false. If you claim false, how do you explain this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction Those are UN statistics. Saddam had WMD. Where did they go? Al Quaeda had everything to do with 9-11 and Al Quaeda was in contact with Iraq over WMD. Al Quaeda is who trained the Saudis and they considered themselves Muslims before any country tie. Saddam was a loose cannon not living up to UN resolutions reguarding WMDs and as president, Bush was concerned about this clear and present enemy and danger to the US possessing WMD. That was the intelligence and that is the connection to Iraq and 9 11. No one lied, that was the best intel of the time. I know you are concerned about our young men and that is admirable, but I do not get the same story from the troops when I visit with them, they are pissed at Obama for leaving them hanging out to dry with politics. You seem to want to blame the banks for the downfall of the economy. Do you understand what GSE's are? As a businessman, you should do some research there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government-sponsored_enterprise This program, going back to 1916. This was a model democrat, old Woodrow Wilson who interjected government into the private business of banking to buy votes. By the time we got to modern history, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd had set up the system so the core Democrat voters would get financing from banks under Fannie May and Freddy Mac or banks would be punished for discrimination. Government should never have interjected itself here and the results were predictable. That is why there is no money out there right now. Anyone with money is holding it, because they do not know how Obama is going to try and get it next to support crack babys. Look, on the war on terror, it is not going away. The Islamists are out to destroy western civilization, and the "moderate" muslims are just playing the middle. They will attach themselves to whoever wins. We either bring the fight to them and at least attempt to make a foothold of freedom in their country that might spread, or we sit at home sweeping up bomb blasts and crashed airplanes. If the American people are not on board with bringing the fight to the enemy, we should not be there. If this was a mistake, then it was Bush's mistake. I think he really felt that we needed to make an attempt in A'stan and in Iraq. If it was a screw up, it was a screw up out of concern for America's security. Obama only cares about bring socialism here as quickly as possible. He wants you to shut up and color, and you need to bring the fruits of YOUR labor to him so he can "spread the wealth" not to who you designate, but to who will elect him next time. |

Iraq has absolutely nothing to do with the towers,15 of the 19 were Saudi's, nobody gave a *************** in 93 when they tried to knock them down, you need to go down to the VA hospital and go and talk with some of those legless boys, blind boys, armless boys, freedom fighters, I dont think so...they sure do tell a different story. and to think they were starting to close down all the VA hospitals because all the HEROES of WWII were dying off, they cant put up the VA'S fast enough now.
I prayed for those people on 9/11, but i also put out the prayers for the other 5000 since and we are no closer to a resolution then we were 10 years ago. the day that happened, Bin Laden was a household name by the end of the day, thats who shouldve been chased and hunted down, 10 years later they are stronger than ever and will continue to create "terror". If you cut off the head, the legs and arms will go everywhere thats why you want him at this point to die a natural death |

Did you watch at all some of the horrific *************** that happened on 9/11 on the history channel. They played back the orginal calls from the planes with the highjackers, showed callers calling from the floors on the twin towers, they where burning and no way out. And we had no reason to go to Irag. Well aint that some *************** Eric. Then what where we suppose to do, stick a finger in our ass and send them a pot roast. Bush did what was needed. You attack America, we fight back with vengance. Other countries want what we got. FREEDOM! FUK-EM! Lovee Bush, sent a tear to my eye ![]() It is amazing, and just so sad what those people went through. Some people just dont remember. |

The sad part about Bush going to Iraq was not finding the WMD's. If we had found some (even if we brought some to find) he would have been the great American hero. Maybe they are still there, maybe it was bad info that led us there, maybe we'll never know. Bush did send me a check for $300. No other polition ever sent me nutin. As for your best times ending around 2002... that's about the same time democrats started running both houses. Bush & Obama both get their share of credits and blames but it is Congress and the Senate that really F'd things up. Both parties are to blame. The thing is Dems promised BIG changes this time and had the votes but still didn't produce any great results. And the courts taking every law a group don't like and overturning them is ripping apart at the basic structure we have spent years living by. |

you guys work the double standard angle to the end, here im saying its not Obama but on the other side of the coin you guys are saying its not Bush. My biggest problem with Bush was going into Iraq,
if by chance, that lending is still de-regulated, why are the banks locked up tight now? and why is it not business as usual? believe me I loved Bushes tax cuts, But, that dont pay the bills. I think what it boils down to is the 2 main party system, it just fcn dont work, not in this world, it divides and maybe terms arnt long enough, you get the ball rolling and bam...start all over again. A politician can go 2 ways, into politics or selling used cars (no pun) I guess in a way im just fed up with the entire system, I dont like being a pawn on a chessboard and deals cut in back rooms over a hand shake, lobbyists...i wont even go there, special interest groups, not there either..I will probably vote in the middle in 2 years cause really I cant take either side anymore. this still is a fact, the best times in my life that I will never see again were in the 90's, why i dont know, but finacially they were good times and from about 2002 till present they have been 60 hour weeks for the same money and...what more can I say, I think most will agree |
