We will not forget

[temeculaguy]

Well written Allan, a multi sourced rebuttal, you win since I was keeping score at home.

So when I die, I would like to say right now that i want none of you at my funeral or to remember me in any way shape or form. Based on the thread thus far, there will be arguments about the legitamacy of my 6th grade chess tournament victory, how I treated my 1st girlfriend, whether or not I flossed, if I inhaled and how I came into possession of my first fake I.D., with little to no mention of any of the good things I did with my time on the planet.

Let’s take every story of heroism and try and destroy it with conspiracy theories. Let’s pretend there are never good guys and bad guys, just bad guys.

I know one thing for certain regardless of what brought down the soviets. The people on the fourth plane that somehow mustered the courage to prevent it from being used as a weapon or the people who perished after rushing into the towers before they collapsed. No matter who your god is or what you believe happens to you when you die, if there is an afterlife, they will be seated at the “Big Table” with the “Big Guy or Gal” and we can only hope that we will have the honor of cleaning their dishes. Until that day, I’ll pause once a year to honor them, make promises to them and defend to the death your right as an American to be ungrateful and disrespectful.

Michael Springmann, head US consular official in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, later claims that during this period he is “repeatedly ordered… to issue [more than 100] visas to unqualified applicants.” He turns them down, but is repeatedly overruled by superiors. [BBC, 11/6/2001; ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 11/25/2001]

Springmann loudly complains to numerous government offices, but no action is taken. He is fired and his files on these applicants are destroyed. He later learns that recruits from many countries fighting for bin Laden against Russia in Afghanistan were funneled through the Jeddah office to get visas to come to the US, where the recruits would travel to train for the Afghan war. According to Springmann, the Jeddah consulate was run by the CIA and staffed almost entirely by intelligence agents. This visa system may have continued at least through 9/11, and 11 of the 19 9/11 hijackers received their visas through Jeddah (see November 2, 1997-June 20, 2001), possibly as part of this program (see October 9, 2002 and October 21, 2002).

In his second week in office George W. Bush created the task force, officially known as the National Energy Policy Development Group (NEPDG) with Dick Cheney as chairman. This group was supposed to “develop a national energy policy designed to help the private sector, and, as necessary and appropriate, State and local governments, promote dependable, affordable, and environmentally sound production and distribution of energy for the future.”

Cheney’s Energy Task Force authors a variety of documents relating to the oil industries of Iraq, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. [JUDICIAL WATCH, 7/17/2003; CBS NEWS, 1/10/2004; NEW YORK TIMES, 1/12/2004]

[VICE PRESIDENT, 2001 ; VICE PRESIDENT, 2001]

-Russia claims we are arming Georgians with our “aid”
-The financial industry’s losses are being thrown on our and our children’s backs and the economy is falling fast
-Israel says it will strike Iran in the near future
-Permanent bases in Iraq
-Bill of Rights gone(patriot act, Fisa and many others)

During the great depression, the US chose the future, the UK chose the past and Germany chose madness. What are we doing today?

If you want to honor the dead, do your homework. Virtually, everything I have posted has multiple MSM sources.

[quote=Rustico]If you want to “moron in peace” FLU why did you post? Why did you post “We will not forget instead of “I will not forget”. As stockstrader points out maybe what we are forgetting or not forgetting should be expanded upon. You can get a flag and a “Freedom walk” and the asssociated brain washing on Sept. 11th in a public school kindergarten class… why post it on a sophisticated blog like this one?[/quote]

Despite all the shitness of what’s going on by our political leaders, I was just posting this because like every other day of noteworthiness, we honor thoses who directly our indirectly paid for our own mistakes. I guess there really isn’t much pride left to be an american anymore.

Sorry to offend people, folks. This is my queue to get off. Good luck piggington folks.
