Watching the 9-11 special this evening on The History Channel. Its just as gut wrenching as it was seeing it live 21 years ago. Atleast in the days that followed our country was totally united as one. Sadly today we are not.

What I remember of 0911 is that within months it all became Bush’s fault, his work to stop the next one ridiculed unendingly, the expenses the nation had endured ro establish security and to step into the terrorist camp to show them we would not accept their attack became the hide behind of Democrats to discredit Conservatives. Same today, blame Trump for expenses Congress pressed upon him in the work against Covid, only to dwell on their strategy that failed all the worse and the asses STILL blame Trump when it done by their own hands. More deaths on Wipe Me’s watch but all Trumps doing. Trump took documents, HIS Aids packed up, he accepted were declassified and yet the stink bomb crew works to discredit him all the harder while Wipe Me sets on the beach on vacation seemingly every weekend and every conspicuous week where he needs to address reality but presses the asinine Liberal Agenda that continually proves out is too fast, cannot physically happen as not enough production or materials goods to get it done.

Unity. . . .Yeah, I remember . . . Just a very short time later, a late night newscast with explosions in the background near Kabul, and I thought oh boy, here we go!  Turns out those weren't "us", but shortly thereafter there we were.  And unity, what I remember, is the enemies saying (to paraphrase) "we've been fighting for centuries.  The Americans will be here a short time, they will not have the stomach to see this through."  And I thought "F YOU!"  Of course, they were right.

I saw a special on the TOWERS yesterday.. Couple facts i did not know..The Bin Laden boys had a car bomb in the parking garage in 1993 that did a lot of damage.. Couple guys were caught and in 1997-8 they had the trial... The GUY said.." we are not done, will be back to destroy those towers"............ Dont know why they had a hard-on for the towers, but that was the goal for a dozen years.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.
