My thoughts......it's been more 'real' this year than recent years. Not quite sure why. I was thinking about it this morning and I believe 9/11/2001 was the last time that America was truly united. People set aside, briefly, political differences and stood together in common cause. I know that was quickly gone and Democrats quickly rushed to blame bush for not reading daily briefings so that he could have stopped this.....but for a brief moment we were all on the same side.

I just hope that we as a country never forgets, but I'm afraid my hope is just that looking at the way we are currently going. Never did I ever dream that we would have Muslims or people who don't subscribe to American values in our own government helping to make laws.

I was told we were getting bombed from older friends at lunch time. Watched the rest unfold for the remainder of the school day after we got back from lunch.

I was in Silopi, Turkey. Oddly, I was there before for Operation Provide Comfort right after PGWI hostilities ended. I wondered what on earth happened or is going to happen that I was flown to this region. Well, 10 days later I found out.
Makes me wonder...
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Now that the cockpit tapes have been released, their lack of action is more understandable.Â
First they stabbed up the flight attendants, so passengers had that to deal with, as well as think about if they got any ideas.Â
On top of that they were told that there was a bomb on board that they would detonate if anyone tried anything stupid.Â
And yes, they were all under the impression that the plane would be landing somewhere, not used as a weapon.Â
I was at a $100 min bet Blackjack table at Argosy when the news hit...

Radio guy today wondered out loud on Air today ,
Do you think the Country would unite like they did in 2001 if this happened again. ?
Then he thought about it and said No way all it would do is make the Trump haters scream it was his fault......
