It's War don't kid yourselves. - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Call it a terroist attack or whatever you want, but make no mistake about the fact that those people responsible, along with the countries harboring them, declared war on the American People today. If they had the resources, those could have just as easily been nuclear warheads, it's no different because they used commercial air liners. Go rent True Lies and watch it today and see if the humor isn't somehow lost this time around.

Obviously my thoughts and prayers are with the victoms, those people yet to be resued, those brave emergency personel who sacrificed their lives to help others and those friends and families affected so deeply by this dastardly act. George Bush better not fail us now, or he'll wish those FL ballets were counted again, because I for one will want the full measure of justice. I don't mean in the courts, because this was an act of war and the response needs to be a military one. I hope they hunt down every single one of the cowards and deliver the full measure of justice. They better also hold every country responsible for harboring them now or in the future, or we will never be able to travel safely again.

I've got work to do and I'm having a hard time doing anything. I'm on a rollercoaster of emotions today. One minute I'm crying with my wife, the next I'm so angry I could scream, it's just a very disturbing day and I know my life will never be the same.

This country has been reactive too long when it comes to terrorism. Now is the time to take a proactive approach and rid the world of this evil.

THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS

How do you hit what you can't see?

When it's group, with a few members there and couple of members over here and a cell in that place etc etc how do you hit them?

More over, usually these types of people setup shop in the same building as a hospital, school, baby food factory etc etc. They know we won't shoot back for fear of killing the innocent. So they win.

It's way past the time for "measured" responses and I'm very glad that Bush stated that the US would not differentiate between those responsible and those harboring them. It doesn't matter where these people are being harbored, it really doesn't, because this is War and innocent people die in war. When the death toll from this "first strike" rises to 5000+ or more, you think we should be concerned about those cowards setting up camp in some school yard, hospital or religous center. You can't, you just can't, it's time for serious action and these countries that have been allowing these terrorists to come and go, along with funding them, have to be held accountable.

I am purely speculating, but I must say that there are probably thousands of unsuccessful "attempts" made that our Intelligence services identify and hush so that we can continue to live our lives with the freedom we have become accustom to. Sometimes the price we as a society pay for freedom is far greater than we know, I am willing to pay the price, but I am sure others want to know every detail. I do have faith that our public servants dispatch their duties with the best interest of the people as a whole in mind. I also know that the prepetrators of this hideous act of war will be hunted to the ends of the earth.

I sure hope George W. had more kahunas than Billy boy did, and he will go after the whomever did this with the full force of our military, the time for talking is over!!!!

I think we should absolutely pursue this as a war but first we find the guilty and ALL that associated and assisted directly and indirectly. Then we fix them.

Afterwards, we go after those that have the potential to try a repeat performance or would otherwise choose to harm our citizens, regardless if they were involved in this or not...

This is making me sick to my stomach.

Evidence is being uncovered still. But we should have enough by now to organize a search for this enemy of ours.

Check it out. Hasn't he caused enough trouble already? Time to say your prayers to Allah and for us to introduce you to the devil , Mr. Hate.

According to Foxnews.com we now have solid firm evidence linking these attacks to Osama Bin Laden, I wouldn't be surprised if an attack takes place today!!!!!!
