Never Before Seen 9/11 Video
EmailHave you heard about a new documentary titled "102 Minutes That Changed America"? It culls together the images (some never seen before) and reactions of everyday Americans to the events unfolding before their eyes on 9/11. Half of our shop here wants to see it…the other can’t bring themselves to. It airs tonight on the History Channel. Our afternoon webcast is playing a cut today. Here is a scene in which two NYU students have just watched the second plane hit the tower. It is – in a sense – a microcosm of what the nation was realizing at that exact moment…that the tragedy we were experiencing was not an accident.

Now you can imagine how Iraqis felt as we bombed their capital into oblivion.

Prime example of why we need the Men and women who have the right to bare arms to protect us incase of more attacks.

These people got it right the first time. “a plane has hit the wtc”. It took our objective media one hour to report correctly what happened. More proof that our journalist can not report the facts on the grount.

commercial before 9/11video very tasteless.
re: “right to bare arms” comment–please let us not rewrite the Bill of Rights to allow us to wear sleeveless shirts. It is actually “bear arms” as in to carry arms.

I thought the Palin interview was Charlie’s worst job in years, and I consider him the best at his craft. He acted condescending and cocky to a sitting governor. Where is the fairness of asking (in the same manner) the same questions of Senator Obama who lacks Governor Palin’s 8 years of experience not as a law maker but as the sole person responsible for a government. It was sexist in that he acted arrogant and disrespectful compared to his interviews with the men candidates (and I am 66-year old male).

To Steve: The Iraqis must not have felt that bad because they were celebrating in the streets when our American forces (the forces that bombed their capital) came rolling in and Sadam and his army fled. I don’t understand how Americans can criticize the efforts of those who fight for our freedom. There are plenty of other places in the world where someone with anti-American sentiments will feel much more at home.

Dateline NBC reported that on August 6, 2001, the President personally “received a one-and-a-half page briefing advising him that Osama bin Laden was capable of a major strike against the US, and that the plot could include the hijacking of an American airplane.” Rice herself actually admitted this herself, saying the Aug. 6 briefing the President received said “terrorists might attempt to hijack a U.S. aircraft.” [Sources: ABC News, 5/16/02; NBC, 9/10/02]
It is absolutely tragic/ incomprehensible that even with advance warning not a single military aircraft was available FOR SEVERAL HOURS to bring down hostile aircraft in NYC and at the Pentagon. I mean what the?????

Could we please stop saying that the troops in Iraq are defending our freedom. Our freedom was never in jeopardy. The troops in the Afghan mountains were defending our country when we went after those actually responsible for 9/11. It’s been proven that Hussein had no ties to this tragedy. The Iraq war was started for two reasons; a personal Bush vendetta against Hussein and the oil in the area. If we really cared about people are are repressed by a tyrannical regime, we would have troops in Darfur. But they have nothing we want.

Rene I agree fully.
Roger, as a young woman who is very much political and feminist, I would like to whole-heartedly disagree with you.
Palin is no more a feminist than Bush. She is so similar to him in choice of word and response to questions. Need I even say, she is just as ignorant as he in the world of foreign affairs.
We as a country need leaders and civilians who focus on peace, the furtherance of our own – in education health, and in upholding liberty.
By making laws over other people’s bodies, being ignorant to the world outside our borders and making governing decisions based on religious belief, she is not serving liberty. she is abolishing it.

Barack Hussein Obama and ask the same questions yet,and don’t expect too.

Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion… in private self-defense.

Bad job Charlie, the American people are not fooled by the media. You should have been better informed of the facts and quotes.Bob W

Yeah, but they had it coming. We didn’t.

Nope, Charlie doesn’t ask the tough questions of Obama. HEll, nobody asks the tough questions of Obama.

What we all need to do is come together as a nation because if not this country will indeed fail. Every great nation falls just like the Roman Empire. When the government stops caring about its people, the country will fall. A proven fact and look at what our country is going through now. If you don’t like Barack or if you don’t like McCain, just ask yourself who will make the best president? Who will make the change America needs because we definitely need one. Keep in mind we don’t know them personally, but what I can say is to follow your heart because I want my childern, niece, nephews, etc to have a safe and strong country to grow up in, but if we only vote because of our dislike it will do no good. America is slowly but rapidly falling and thats scary, so when you vote think about this country’s future, your family’s future, your future…

“America is slowly but rapidly falling and thats scary”
Not as scary as that sentence.
