Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 On September 11, 2001, we lost our husbands in the World Trade Center. Like all Americans, we rallied behind President Bush in the aftermath of that horrible day. We genuinely believed that he would track down the people responsible for our husbands' deaths and take all necessary steps to prevent another terrorist attack in the future. Unfortunately, President Bush has failed us. During the past three years, President Bush fought our efforts to get to the bottom of the 9/11 attacks. He tried to block the creation of an independent commission and then resisted providing the commission with sufficient funding, access to documents, and testimony from his advisors. Now that the commission has released its recommendations, President Bush has opposed the enactment of reforms necessary to prevent another 9/11. By fighting a misguided war in Iraq, President Bush has diverted valuable resources from capturing Osama bin Laden and eliminating al Qaeda. He continues to deceive the American public by asserting a connection between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 attacks. However, the bipartisan 9/11 Commission concluded that there is " no credible evidence " that the Iraqi government collaborated with al Qaeda on any attacks on the United States. Even Secretary of State Colin Powell recently admitted: " I have seen nothing that makes a direct connection between Saddam Hussein and that awful regime, and what happened on 9/11. " Not only has President Bush failed to make America safer, he has tried to capitalize politically on our loss. He has run campaign ads with images of Ground Zero and firefighters; he has sold photos of himself on Air Force One on 9/11; and he turned the entire Republican convention in New York into a partisan glorification of 9/11. America deserves better, and that is why we enthusiastically endorse John Kerry for president. John Kerry knows we have to win the peace in Iraq so terrorists do not take it over, and he believes it is not too late to turn things around in Iraq. A Kerry administration will work with nations around the world to hunt down terrorists and destroy their networks. John Kerry will finish the job in Afghanistan, where al Qaeda terrorists planned the 9/11 attacks against our nation and where today the Taliban is coming back. And as president, John Kerry will capture or kill al Qaeda and like-minded terrorists. He never would have allowed the U.S. military to be held back from going after Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora as President Bush did. John Kerry will improve our ability to detect and prevent terrorist threats. He believes all of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations should be immediately adopted. He also has a detailed plan for improving border, seaport, and airport security; coordinating and integrating local law enforcement; and providing necessary training and equipment to first responders. John Kerry can provide the strong leadership necessary to make America stronger at home and more respected in the world. We urge you to join us in this historic fight for America's future by forwarding this letter to your friends and colleagues.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 To the Widows, First, let me extend my condolences and prayers to you and all those who lost a part of themselves on that terrible day. Second, let me say to the group that the political drift this forum has taken lately is in question. After all, it is supposed to be about alternative medicine. But, let me respond to the Widows. I had an awakening when I was younger. I found that my Country and my Government were two separate entities with neither having any relationship to the other. A second or invisable government controlled direction, long term planing, and all aspects of real power. The Public Government or Elected Cardboard Front had little if anything to with power and, I also supposed, it was the same worldwide. I am now a cynic, but, ask John Kennedy, he'll back me up. Having been through a couple of wars since, they all have begun to sound a great deal alike. When I was a child we had a communist behind every tree and two under each rock. We were against a people we later learned had to stand in line for toilet paper. They did have a strong central Government that controlled the bombs, though, a fact that seems to be overlooked by everyone. Now, we have the situation where any half assed officer with a set of keys and an attitude can launch a missile; we've NEVER been is this much danger. How is it the ECF along with the Media considers the Evil Empire to have fallen. With the fall of the Soviet Union, we lost this adversary that justified SO much interference with our Constitution...and we needed a new one, By God. And By God, we got one. " The Age of Terrorism " was born from the womb of necessity. Do understand, Iraq is a pawn of ours, and has been for decades along with S. H., and a perfect target since we could invade and change little world power structure. Has ANYONE OUT THERE given any thought to the line of crap our supposed enemies have fed their sons and daughters?? How about ideas on the corruption of the pure faith as ours has been corrupted by these third rate buffoons and dildos that are our leaders. We are The Largest Arms Merchant in the world and, biblically speaking, is there anyone who would like to discuss the crops from all those lovely little seeds we've sown, or the world wide sowing project by our collective leaders?? Judging from our lackadaisical media, I think not. So, WE'VE ALL BEEN HAD!!!! How can we obtain a get out of Hell free card? Sow good seed where your are, don't pay any attention to false prophets, and concentrate on something that will contribute to the world and not contribute harm, Biblically speaking, of course. Sound advise for thousands of years whether you believe in it or not! Now, can anyone give me an explanation of why all or any of this should be in a forum about alternative medicine?? P.S. Love to Jo Ann Guest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moderators Note; The explanation for the posting is quite simple. It is my group and as such I consider it my right to post anything that I want to. Also, I feel that in times such as these that the poitical situation is relevent to everyone's health. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
