9/11 Letter to the Editor

It seems that every generation has it's own national crisis. What I find interesting is that each generation responds differently to it's crisis. The responses tended to send a message and in fact created an image in the eyes of the rest of the world defining what the U.S. was made of.

When you step back and look at the responses of generations past it was clear that the message they sent let the rest of the world know without question that the U.S. had moxy. We had balls. The fire of freedom and liberty burned relentlessly in the hearts of Americans and everyone else around the world knew it.

The national crisis of my generation began with the attack on the U.S. on September 11, 2001 and continues today. Our response to the event which took place on 9/11 took too long to initiate because there were those among our political leadership who worried about what the rest of the world thought. Once retaliation started, our military men and women were put in harms way and were unnecessarily restrained by unreasonable rules of engagement similar to those that caused us to lose in Vietnam. Rules that our enemy doesn't adhere to but rules they know we follow. And they capitalize on that fact. We know this and yet we continue to follow the same rules and prosecute our military members for failing to follow them. "We are Americans - we don't torture" the liberals say...."We take the moral high road". Tell that to the thousands of Americans who lost loved ones fighting a war with their hands partially tied. Hey liberals...I have news for you! there is no fair fight! If you want to win, you do what it takes! How can any American watch the 9/11 memorial services and not become just as angry as we were when these events first unfolded?

We watch whats going on in the background right now and see that we are on the brink of signing an agreement with a nation that is known to sponsor the very same terrorists responsible for attacking our nation on 9/11 and who continue to attack us and our interests around the world everyday. We are agreeing to give them tens of billions of dollars they will no doubt funnel to the same terrorist organizations. What are these politicians thinking? 70% of Americans disagree with this agreement yet the politicians push forward with it. This failed foreign policy is the same failed policy that created the power vacuum in Iraq which brought ISIS to power creating a humanitarian disaster of biblical proportions in Syria and Europe.

The message being sent to the rest of the world by this Administration and the liberal minions that follow is this: We have elevated a nation of terrorists to what can be likened to the position of the bully on the playground. America, due to the actions and inaction's of Democrat/Liberal/Socialist leadership has been reduced to the sissy on the playground. Our 150 billion dollar lunch money is about to be handed over to the bully in order to postpone being beaten up one more day. Obama is going to sign it over stating as a reason that this is the only deal that can prevent war (his words). Guess what?!?! We are at war!! Let's get to the business of winning it! This is happening in the world theater. The same thing just happened on a local level when the playground rioting bullies in Baltimore just got 6.4 million in lunch money from liberal Democrat politicians in order to prevent further rioting. They've abandoned our police officers and our soldiers. They've left your cities in crime filled, bankrupt ruins. They have set policies that diminish our individual civil liberties. They have put our once great nation on the fast track to disaster.

To the liberal Democrats and RINO's know this. The fire of freedom and liberty still burns hot in the heart of the American Patriot. In case you haven't felt the heat, it's burning hotter everyday. Entertaining the decision to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into our country was a mistake from which you won't recover. If you decide to make it happen, our nation won't recover. The majority of Americans know it and will eventually rise up against these types of decisions in ways not seen since the late 1700's. The American people pray that those in leadership positions reverse the direction in which our nation is headed and starts putting America first. Or is it too late?

70% of Americans do not want the Iran/Obama agreement. I remember the days when the people we elected listened to us. Guess those days are over.

We are war with the Muslim religion, until you realize that, you will lose. There are forces in our Government and elsewhere that are bought and paid for by the Saudi muslims, these anti semites in the media and upper echelons of fed world are winning, and America is losing by a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head, in which Rinos are holding the gun, and dems are pulling the trigger. While I disagree with you on torture and murder of American citizens by drone, I do agree we are at war.

I'm sorry, but Iran does not sponsor the 9/11 terrorists, any way you look at it.

Most (if not all) of the terrorists were Saudi. Saudi Arabia and Iran hate each other, and are in a constant struggle for regional power.

There was the mysterious group of Israeli's who were filming the explosion and cheering. Israel and Iran hate each other.

There was a mysterious change of command for the US's aerial response just before the attack, giving Cheney the order to fire. Iran and the United States hate each other, and have been competing for influence since the overthrow of the US' puppet, the Shaw of Iran.

We built up the mujahadeen (sp) in Afghanistan to counter the Soviet Occupation in the 80's. After the end of the cold war, they became A Qaeda (so we made them). Al Qaeda pretty much morphed into ISIS right after the "I won't be Al Qaeda's Air Force" campaign. They were allowed to make huge convoys and drive into Iraq unencumbered by US attack (we did fine bombing Sadam's troops in convoys, yet we couldn't hit these guys? Hmm...). They have received numerous "accidental" drops of supplies from the US Coalition, and all of the "moderate" Syrian rebels we trained and equipped joined them (Are we that incompetent, or are we up to something else?). Now they are set up to take over Syria, and they are our proxy army against the Syrians, Russians, and Iranians. This follow's Gen Wesley Clark's testimony to Congress about how we would topple the entire middle east to re-make the region (funny how we've had multiple Presidents since then, but the roadmap is still in play, huh?).

You seriously need some Political Science studies if you think the Iranians are the same people that pulled off 9/11.

Are you a Muslim?

I'm sorry you disagree with me..... But I have one question. If your child were being held captive and would be killed if you didn't find their location within 24 hours, would you torture the person that knew your child's whereabouts in order to find them?

I'm not a muslim. But I do follow foreign affairs closely. All of this info is out there for people to read. They just fail to do so, because it's easier to regurgitate what the MSM puts out there.

I'm not sure what torturing people has to do with your comment or the post, or why it even matters. But I don't think that I could torture anyone. I would certainly try soft persuasion. At the end of the day, judgement would not be on me for failing to harm another - it would be on the kidnapper and the killer. God's plan for my child may not be immediately known to me. That being said, who knows how I would react. I've never been placed in such as situation before. I would certainly defend my child from an attack in my presence, though. But once the child is gone, there are people much better suited than I to attempt a location and extraction operation. It would be a foolish move for me to attempt an operation like this on my own. Perhaps your skills and training are otherwise. If they are, thank you for your service and the years you would have spent training to deal with those kinds of operations.

There is so much wrong historically with what you, the author of this piece,has written there is little reason to respond. You obviously care nothing about facts.

Letter To The Editor

Joe,

I just checked out Chuck Cooks Facebook page to see what he posted about remembering and reflecting on 9/11. You know Chuck Cook, Mr. Chuck Cook. The famous friend of our great Mayor Jim Ireton. Yes Chuck Cook, Mr. Maryland Democrat. Yes that Chuck Cook, the honorable Chuck Cook who loves his country and all the people who serve our country. Well guess what? There is nothing on Chuck Cook's Facebook page about honoring or remembering the victims who lost their lives in the attacks on America on 9/11. Nothing on remembering the attacks on the Americans at Benghazi. Even one of the Americans murdered at Benghazi was a known Homosexual so you would think he would be sad for that guy? Not one picture, not one comment about those who lost their lives on these devastating attacks. Nothing on praying for our troops who are putting their lives on the line. Nothing about the police and firefighters.

Then I checked some of his buddies like Chris Demone, Brian Kemmet and Bill Duck and neither of them have anything honoring 9/11. Those guys are absolutely heartless! Jim Ireton has nothing honoring or remembering the victims of 9/11. The only thing Jim Ireton has is a few pictures of an event he attended at one of the schools. All it was, was another photo op for Jim Ireton. Proof of that is the fact that he changed his Homo Flag profile pic with one for today's photo op.

In conclusion we have a high ranking Democrat in the State of Maryland and a Democrat Mayor of Salisbury who are the most unpatriotic Pieces of heartless Crap. This proves that these Obama loving miscreants are supporters of Islam and Al Qaeda just like their idols O'Malley and Obama.
