September 11, 2001

 

         When the attacks of September 11 took over three thousand lives and destroyed the The World Trade Center Bin Laden had failed in many ways. All though a power full wound to America, it fell far short of any effect on America's resilience, and ability to overcome any obstacle or any foe. The death toll was limited to just over 3000 and the damage was contained to a neighborhood. Of course, if you are any of the 3000 families, your whole world has been devastated and no one can give you enough to compensate for such a loss. However the families torn apart became united with all the families of America. They became America's Family. The neighborhood in New York City became America's neighborhood. Americans stood United, and within a short time we began to recover and move forward. We could never do enough to make up for the loss of life but we vowed to NEVER FORGET.   The ODDS of Surviving the wrath of America for the Man who brought us/U.S. Ground Zero ---- -became  Absolute Zero.

 

      Bin Laden had failed to Blind our Spirit. He had failed to disrupt our Freedom. His attempt to destroy our economy, our way of life, our ability to take care of one another was totally unscathed by his attack. He did not divide our country. He would never be able to build Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and would never be able to defeat our army. He could not destroy our Constitution that guarantees our Freedom of Life, Liberty and the Per suit of happiness. He would never be the Hero defending Saudi Arabia in the North. He would never be able to get the price of oil, which funds all terrorism over 100 dollars a barrel and make his Kingdom proud. He would not be the one to make his Country twice as rich as before the attacks and bankrupt America in the process. And most of all his ability to elude capture would not be possible. I'm sure he wished 3000 more had died and 20,000 more had been injured.  But it wasn't so.   It would take George Bush and the Republicans to do all that.

 

2002 thru 2008

 

      This administration has done what Bin Laden has failed to do. Even Bin Laden's  survival is a Pardon given by George Bush who disbanded the search. And what do we hear from all the Reverend Wrongs that got him elected? Not one hint of a Humble apology. Or from the News Media that Out Foxed America? Nothing! There is no Spirit of God and no Spirit of America in your silence. The Reverend Wrongs that elected this man supported a man who looked into the soul of Vladimir Putin and turned the CIA  into the KGB. The spirit of this administration employs all the tools of Evil. Secrecy, Lies, False Witnesses, and now even Torture. Torture, the tool of false confessions and evidence to be used against the truth. Bin Laden couldn't  destroy the Constitution of America. It would take insiders to do that.  We have developed an Anarchist economy with an Anti-Christ spirit that preys on consumers, taxpayers, businesses, workers, the disabled, the sick, and devastates the weak and defenseless. Yet, not one word of protest from the Reverend Wrongs. 

 

       Our army and our nation is more wounded and defeated by the Commander in Chief than it is by the enemy. Over 40,000 soldiers unfit for battle. Rules of Engagement devised by the Accountants to maximize Profits for these Prophets. Our greatest Generals didn't surrender their Commands because of the grinding battles with Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, they surrendered their commands because of the mindless battles with George Bush. This administration has done more damage to this country using the Flag and the Cross, than Bin Laden could ever dream of. I know they say the President is at  a  20 per cent approval in America, but I'm sure it's a whopping 98% in Saudi Arabia where most of the terrorist 

financing comes from. And it comes from oil.  The 2 %  in the Kingdom that disapproves of George are just jealous.

 

           President Bush will never be given the Key to the City in New York, however he will be given the Saber to the Kingdom in the Middle East. He recently said that we should not talk and negotiate with our enemies. He says that you can't appease a tyrant. He ought to know. When it was getting to the point where Saddam was going to negotiate a surrender he attacked. The rest is History, Present, and Future.                Which one of these doesn't belong;

 

DIE     CIA     KGB    LIE     GOP    WAR     OIL     CEO     FOX     SPY      NSA     GOD

 

          This election I will remember September 11, 2001. I will not forget  the Victims of that year and every year after.
