The people involed in 911 were willing to kill themselves and the guys sending the cruise missles are not that is the only difference

So they guys who did 911 were more committed and took more personal responsibility for thier actions?

Dude the media doesn't even cover the war properly. They're to busy talking about irrelevant shit like Brittney Spears & Paris Hilton.

For starters, we attack military targets. 9/11 was a cowardly attack on civilians.

Some powerful insight on whats going on in the war, and whats going on in America in relation to the war. I like how he points out that many so called anti-war politicians profit from the war. I wonder what he means by '9/11 is a lie'. Is he saying that 9/11 never happened, or the rational e of using 9/11 to go into Iraq is a lie.

that guy lost all credibilty about 15 seconds into his speech.

QFMFT

Seriously, does anyone ever talk about those celebs in real life? The only celeb gossip I recall having about over the last several years wasMichael Jackson, and thats a pretty understandable exception since he was our biggest idol when we were little kids.

Everone attacks civilian targets. Its been proven to be the most effective strategy of war since time began. Think about it then name a country that has never attacked civilian targets but yet effectively engages in war?

QFT.

I was in the army from 97-02, and am in total disagreement with current ME policy. That said, if it's true about the revisions to the GI Bill being passed this fall, I'll be re-enlisting ASAP (and reaping a fat signing bonus). Paying your own way through school sucks. I work full-time (over 50 hours per week), attend college part time. For a free ride and a giant bonus that'll pay off my car, it's done.

It's foolish for anyone to think the military is full of brain-washed redneck Bush supporters.

If you dont even consider the possibility that the U.S. Army or D.O.D. is willing to lie in order to serve its own needs you have probally never been in the service.
