Mike, I was at work, like most folks, and was horrified, like most folks. And of course I don't know what it felt like to be there, because I wasn't.
HOWEVER, last I heard, those who were actually RESPONSIBLE for that terrible day are still alive and well, living in the mountains of Pakistan, and Al Queda is currently gaining strength BECAUSE we went into Iraq, and did not focus on where the real problem remains. The public, and the Congress were LIED to, either on purpose, or through an unwillingness to listen to those around him, or both. That is why we are currently in Iraq....there was absolutely NO evidence, and none was discovered, that Iraq, or Saddam, had ANYTHING at all to do with 9/11. That is a historical fact.
Regarding propaganda...one side or the other does not have a monopoly on it. The truth generally lies somewhere in the middle, and it's up to the individual to figure out which "truth" they choose to buy into. Rush Limbaugh, nor his counterpart, whoever that may be, will tell things the way they want people to hear them. There is as much conservative, right wing propoganda out there as there is any other kind.
Terry when the events of 9/11 happened I was assigned to the SPECIAL OPERATIONS DIVISION of THE DISTRICT of COLUMBIA FIRE DEPARTMENT. I can tell you I drilled with units from Quantico Virginia. These units were Federal Units. I can also tell you I was privileged to information you and most of America was not. I can tell you for a fact you statements are VERY INCORRECT.
You can believe anything the Liberal media wants you to believe. I can bet you the Liberal Media never talked about a stolen 500 lb cylinder of S$%#&* C*&%^$# that we moved from above Metro Center. Metro Center is the hub for Washington DC's subway system. It was in a cube van and set up to feed the tunnel on a Monday Morning. If they (who ever it was) were successful it would of killed over 10,000 people.
I am sorry to rant about this and other incidents. It has just left a very sour taste in my mouth. You may think you are safe in Bumm F$%K where ever you live but I assure you are not. This country and many others are in grave danger. This country's financial problems are a small part of our problems. Remember this war is not about OIL it is all about RELIGION. Please EVERYONE think how you are going to vote this year before you do it.
As always I am not afraid to say I LOVE MY COUNTRY and I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!
Be Safe
THE DAWG
