CNN

In the past 8 years, my concerns have been with the Bush administration and not a fear of terrorist attacks. My concerns today are for the state of our economy, affordable healthcare for everyone, my children's education and their future, ending the war in Iraq that is only increasing the national debt. Those are the things I think about and what I believe really matters to the American people. Can we focus on what's really important?

I will always blame our 'world police' policies for 911. We should look after our own 1st and only after we are good, maybe help other countries. Never do anything for oil. It just turns out bad.

sympathy to all people loose their friends and family 7 years ago!viva Republican,just vote Mc cain,a leader wil catch the terrorist!no doubt to mc cain and Palin!

Ignorant and apathetic people!

I'm sure the republicans are thanking God for 9/11 so taht they have one more day wehre Palin does not have to answer any questions.

According to a press statement put out today, after the interview with Charlie Gibson of ABC News this evening, Palin will NOT be giving any more interviews and will NOT campaign on her own, but only with mcCain so that they can keep a close eye on her.

That comes directly from the McCain camp. Any itnelligent person would realize that this woman is not qualified and if she can't hold her own in interviews how in the hell is she supposed to deal wtih dangerous world leaders as V.P., or possibly president?

Intelligent people? NEVER UNDERSTIMATE THE STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN WHO VOTE REPUBLICAN.

To all people worried about the economy. What do you think will happen to our economy if we start having terrorist attacks. Pres. Bush is strong and terrorists are afraid because they know he will retaliate. You cannot just talk to terrorists. John McCain will do the same. Obama will NOT.

9/11.

9/11.

9/11.

9/11.

This happened because we are hated for intruding on other people's holy lands. Obama wants to bring the troops home.

Why would McCain be able to handle the miltiary/foreign policy better than Obama?

Are you all mad? You refuse to ignore the facts.

Facts:

John McCain went to the military academy. There, they teach you about . . . . .maybe. . . . the military. You study battles, miltary theory and yes . . .FOREIGN POLICY.

H then went into the military and put his book training to work. He excelled in the miltary. He fought in a war, and LED TROOPS!!!!

Now, what in Obama's past would give him this experience? I know he "thought" about joining the military!!!

A law degree from Harvard does not give somebody that experience or knowledge.

The military academy's were designed to CREATE leaders!!! Of course the pinko Obama-idiots will claim that the academy's are evil and should be destroyed.

There is no argument. McCain is better prepared (with his military background AND decades of poltical experience) to run our country!!!

Obama's 8 years in ILL politics does not make a President!!!

Personally, I give Bush credit for mismanaging two wars, but having the sense to finally bring in qualified people during his second term that have done a great job, and pulled his bacon out of the fire. I also give him credit for turning his back on the wounded soldiers, until finally being exposed and diverting some more tax money toward getting those honorable troops the care that they need for their selfless service.
All that being said, eight is enough, the Bush adminstration has done a rocky job with subjective results, and we don't need a sabre rattling psychologically unstable set of tyrants like McCan't and the Wicked Witch Palin following up the job with their restive ideals.

ONE NATION

To Patrick Henry being a POW does not qualify you to be President. It is disturbing to know that there are people who think that one party has a candidate who will put his country first but put himself first when it came down to his first wife. He is not our Savior. He will not make the U.S safer. This will be a more dangerous world if he is elected.

THE REPs ARE THE REASON WE HAVE NOT CAUGHT BIN LADEN.......AND YA'LL WANT 4 MORE YRS OF THIS NONSENSE....
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIES ON 9/11 AND THOUSANDS OF TROOPS HAVE DIED IN THIS FAKE WAR.....I ASK ALL U UNDECIDED VOTERS.....DO YOU REALLY WANT MORE OF THE SAME????????

It's disturbing to me when it is reported that people feel John McCain would be better on national security than Obama. There is no guide of measurement to determine that and I pray there won't be one. But the fact remains our borders aren't secure and we don't know whose in this country legally or illegally. I don't buy into propaganda with no facts, remember 9/11 occurred under the Bush administration. God Bless the 9/11 victims and their families.

WHy does McCain love WAR??? Is it because he was a prisoner,
or does he just loves the thrill. If he is elected we will be in Iraq for
100 years, and he will make sure we will be in another war.

Obama/Biden08

I think America should be thanking Bush and the troops for keeping this country safe. Bush is an idiot but he has stopped any new attacks from happening.

Larry,
If you think Bush was behind the twin towers falling, you are a fool.
Country First,
The dems were in the white house the first time the towers were attacked by bin laden and did nothing. How are they going to protect us. Actually bin laden was offered to Clinton by other country's that knew where he was and that dem party said no, and showed no interest in protecting us . Next time read some history before you make a fool of yourself.

Larry....you are a nut job of the utmost with your "we bombed our own buildings" conspiracy theory.

President Bush has not been a very good president in many ways, but he has done one thing well and it just happens to be his most important job...Protect us from outside or interior physical dangers.

To all of the folks who tink we are safe: Remember Katrina.

Terrorism has risen sharply around the world since we invaded Iraq. If we had of gone to Afghanistan like Barack said the terrorist threat would have been drastically reduced.

I remember going home on 911 after hearing the news, put on the tv and cried like a baby, still hurts though. I hope Bin Laden is caught and put a spike up his.

Who needs outside terrorists to destroy our country, when we have the Bush-McCain economic forces destroying us from within. Not to mention the deaths from Katrina

NO More WARS....No McCain. Dick Cheney and George Bush deserves to go to jail. They disgust me. 4000 Americans died, over 100,000 iraqis died for nothing.

Yeah, because the Republicans haven't played the BS FEAR game in 3 and a half years!!!!!!!!!!!

Bin Laden is smart – just wait a little while, and Americans will forget anything. Short Attention Span Nation.

Mr. Feel-Good-About-Yourself Obama is the perfect president for airheads.

Don't worry, I'm sure the repubs wiil come up with something to try and get the fear level up for the benefit of getting themselves elected.
I just hope people won't fall for it again, but after seeing how people are flocking to Palin the farce, well, I'm afraid we're in for another 4 years of the same.

I think the reason people are not feeling as anxious about an attack is because they are too worried about keeping roofs over their heads, food on the table, and clothes on their back. I don't know who was responsible, terrorists or the government, so I'm not going to speculate. I will say that if it was terrorists, the attacks on 9/11 did exactly what they were supposed to do, cripple our economy and divide the country. If it was the government's doing, I would like to know what they meant to accomplish.

Either way, I'm more concerned with the economy and whether my husband and I will be able to afford a family because at this point we are holding off. We're not sure what tomorrow will bring.

The attack on Amreica was a wake-up call to all in our great country that america must be more aware of wha tis going on in the world. Bush and his cowboy politics did much to anger and inflame hate. When the talking stops the war begins.

There is a big difference betwen giving up and letting the other side have eveything, and true nogotiations to bring ideas into focus so the real issues can be addressed. America has much to offer and if we approch situations openly and with a true hope to achieve change we can show other countries how they can enjoy the same joys we do. We must startr LEADING by example and stop trying to PUSH people to our way of thinking.

BTW, what does it say about the Republicans that they decided to nominate for VP someone who is in the midst of a very serious ethics investigation and could very well be found guilty? It proves one of two things: Either that they really don't care about legalities, or that they believe that they can manipulate the results to their satisfaction.

In either case, it's just wrong, and shows that they think very little of the American public.

Panamanian McCain and the GOP have sadly utilized 9/11 as a ploy to win votes and scare people. The worst part of all this is that the GOP really doesn't care if they do this. More sadly, the blind GOP followers applaud their efforts.

Sad, very sad.

Thank god for George W. Bush's anti-terror policies. Some people posting comments here need to have their mental health examined. I have confidence Bin-Laden will meet the devil one night.

Go McCain – Palin

Where's Osama Bin Laden?

The election is not over yet! Vladimir Putin said the Republicans help the conflict in Russia.

Something may be orchestrated yet to DIVERT attention away from issues like Health Care, Economy, Gas Prices, Education, the trivial matters that McCain does not want to discuss. I mean McBush.

I am glad its at its lowest level this shows that how awful you think Bush was he kept us safe from another attack. He put his country first vs. polls and pundits and I respect him for that.

The weak, blustery talking, republicans Bush, McCain etc. have had 7 years to capture or kill the mastermind of 9-11, Osama bin laden.

They have FAILED America miserably. We are the laughing stock of the world because we have an idiot administration and have let American life be devalued to the point where outlaw thugs like al Quida (sp?) taunt us with video and audio tapes while we are impotent against their leader.

These are the facts. Who in their right mind would reward these inept, punk Republicans withthe Presidency?

Yes, the repugs will start the fear factor thing all over again. Not falling for it then and certainly not now. Will vote democrat this November. The thought of Palin being our President if (god forbid) something happens to McCain terrifies me. DEMOCRATS MUST TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE AND CLEAN THE REPUBLICAN MESS UP.

WHY SI THERE NO PLACE WHERE FAMILIES CAN MOURN FORMALLY????

WHY DO WE ONLY REMEMBER THEM WITH THE LIGHTS ONCE A YEAR????

GET SOME SOLAR POWER AND THOSE LIGHT SHOULD SHINE BRIGHT EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR TO KEEP THE AMERICAN SPIRIT GOING

that is because McCain and Palin scare me more then terrorists.

My toughts are with the people who lost loveones on 9/11
but........

When John McCain and Palin are in office there wil be
a third batlleground, Iran!
And believe me, in Iran there are so many young people
ready to attack the USA as much as possible. They have
not forgotten the support of the USA on Iraq in the Iran/Iraq war!
.
Obama's judgement to talk with Iran is the right one.
When you talk you are able to have a dialog and that is the way to provide wars.

Obama for President!

WIlly Brown September 11th, 2008 7:09 am ET
I'll say it since the democrats and liberals won't. THANK YOU PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH FOR KEPPING AMERICA SAFE THESE PAST 7 YEARS!!!.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also thank the Republicans for their successful foreign policy of training, funding, and supporting Osama Bin Laden in the first place.

PEOPLE SHOULD NOT EVER FORGET ABOUT 911. IT SEEMS THEY ONLY REMEMBER WHEN THERE IS A NATIONAL CEROMONY LIKE TODAY. THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WAR ,MANLY THE DEMS,BUT SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO MORE ATTACKS ON OUR SOIL. OBAMA CANT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT 911 IF HE KEEPS PUTTING DOWN THE WAR. NOW HE IS PUTTING DOWN BOTH. IAM SORRY TO SAY THE ONLY ONE THAT TAKES COUNTRY FIRST IS MCCAIN.DONT ELECT A BIG MISTAKE LIKE OBAMA.

Today, Americans should realize that we are fighting the wrong war in the wrong place..... the ones who attacked America on this day in 2001, are still out there..... in Afghanistan.. not Iraq.......... Osama Bin Laden... not Saddan Hussein...... when will we admit that we went after the wrong people and started a war in the wrong country............

POST THIS CNN............................................................

It's difficult to be concerned about terrorism that seems to be going on halfway around the world when gas is creeping back toward $4/gal in some states and it still over $4/gal in others.

I remember when I thought $2/gal gas was expensive little more than a year ago, but I would take it now.

Yes We Can – Go Obama.

7 Years later and we still feel the affects of 9/11/2001. I'll bet the guys who did this are laughing their tails off on how successful they were. We now can't go to a terminal to say goodbye to a loved one when the board the plane, we wire tap liberaly, got into a war for the wrong reasons and had no plan to fix the country after we took out the dictator! I'll again bet the bad guys can't how well it worked. Look at the US, we have ZERO international credibility, military streched to the beaking point, boarders that can't keep out a flock of sheep, and a debt so bad my great grand kids will be paying off. They don't need to attack us again. Sure they woke the sleeping giant, but we managed to hurt ourselves worse than they did!

How sad is that?

I weep for the future.

"I'll say it since the democrats and liberals won't. THANK YOU PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH FOR KEPPING AMERICA SAFE THESE PAST 7 YEARS!!!."

Are you serious? How about the past 8 years instead of 7, which he did not do. How about all the intelligence his administration flat out ignored about the attacks in the months leading up to 9/11?

More troops have died as a result of his personal war than died in 9/11. Single-handedly, Bush has cost thousands of lives. So congratulations to him, you idiot.

We will never let our guard down. The USA will have less of a threat if we elect a President who has Global respect and understanding of where this country's position will be in the future. Obama will offer that . McCain and his non-qualified running mate are viewed as the SAME OLD USA POLITICS that has driven anti-American setiment for the last 7 years.

Are all conservatives deaf? Can they not hear Obama talking about expanding the military?

Where is Bin Laden?

Hey Larry – LIBS are the greatest threat to this great country!

Like a typical LIB, you never will give Bush an Admin any credit for keeping your LIB butt safe the last 7 years and many more to come!

Hey Rebulican Woman for Obama–
George W was in Office 8 Months and you idiots are wanting to blame him -when in Fact it was Clintons take down of the military that weakened us-1st World Trade Center Bombing was 1992-
Nothing was done during Clintons Time to protect us-His lack of understanding of the Military and taking it apart was the primary reason we were vulnerable-
Give me Security anyday–

And to those who think and are thanking Bush for keeping us safe, we got attacked on his watch. He had the information to keep us safe and he didn't.

Concerns about terrorist attacks are at all time low, until the RNC sends out 28 million videos in the mail to make you scared again.

Wake up people! This election is for the integrity of our country. I am so completely amazed at how voters in this country are so easily led by distractions.

It appears that George Bush has been working extra hard this past month on locating Bin Laden and bringing him to justice. Ask yourself why now?

Larry, I agree with you 100 percent. We are the ones to fear.

The odds of any American being killed in a terrorist attack are a billion to one.

The odds of losing your job, your house, or your health insurance, however, are about 1 in 5.

Even the dumbest Americans get this.

The Republicans will once again use the 9/11 attacks as a cudgel to beat into our brains that we are "at war" with the rest of the world and need to have a strong hand at the helm to "win" this war.

However, after eight years of this war, nothing has been accomplished, other than to shuffle the government in Iraq, strengthen the exremists in Iran, and lose all support for our cause in Pakistan, where we are now banned.

But wait, McCain says "victory" is in sight! Since he can see it, perhaps he should tell the rest of us what it looks like!

A democratic middle east? Another Neocon fantasy? What?

Duh-bya has done nothing to prevent another attack. It may not be as big as 9/11 but they could come any time they want. He and JM will brag about how good a job they've done TODAY but tomorrow and until November it will be FEAR FEAR FEAR and unfortunately the lemmings will comply

Despite their best efforts it looks like the GOP have been infective so far in scaring the public to vote for them on this issue this time.

Yeah Thank You George
Thanks to you we have the worst unemployment, bad economy, the list is long. And yeah after having a home for 7 years gone.
Thanks Mr President for ruing your people life.

Only one good thing did by G.W.Bush administration prevent the country past 7 years from terrorist attack. Iraq war is un wanted war
Terrorism(Al Qaida) has to be destroy completely. Terrorism like cancer
I hope next president destroy Al Qaida and focus on Economy, Health Care, Education and Immigration
No politics today

The terrorists win if we stay divisive and hateful towards each other. Those we lost are in my heart and my prayers, and I still have a strong belief in those of us left behind to not let religious extremists of any kind hijack our democracy.

To Dennis:

Could you be more ignorant? Bush and Cheney protected us. Are you nuts? They are one of the reasons we were attacked in the first place.

The bush administration are putting us more at risk each day by torturing people while ignoring the Geneva rules. You and the repugs need to pray, so you souls can be redeemed. You'll are sick.

I believe the Bush Administartion have been Terrorist as well. Terrorizing and scaring the American people over the past eight years. Warmongering and Hatemongering!

McCain and Palin would like to continue this dark path of destruction,violence, hate and death?

I honor the memory aof all thouse that died, were injured or that lost a loved one on 9/11.

In their honor I will vote for a President that they would be proud off:

OBAMA 08!

When are you pinko Obamabots going to get it thru there heads that you cannot compare ALL REPUBLICANS together. Your argument is invalid, and is not working anymore. With your rationale, then Obama MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE KUCINICH. Who wants Kucinich as a President, therefore, DON"T VOTE FOR OABAMA

McCain would handle foreign policies MUCH BETTER than Obama, because he has been trained in foreign policy. OBAMA HAS NOT. McCain went to the military academy (one of the hardest schools in the world) and was in the military learning about foreign policy.

Obama has no foreign policy training or experience. These are facts!

Obama's experience. . . . acting as a politician, but in reality accomplishing nothing!!

What's more scary than another terrorist attack is the thought of President Palin beling left in charge of the security and economic recovery of this country if/when something bad happens to John McCain the unMarverick two faced person who seems to have about 45% of U.S. citizens fooled right now.

Sarah Palin should be charged with fraud or theft for the per diem gate scandal.

Sarah Palin should be charged with Mischief for lying in front of the nation about that bridge to nowhere.

Sarah Palin thinks Iraq is God's doing.

Sarah Palin let everyone to believe she sold her jet on Ebay. Turned out that she sold it at a $400,000 loss and that this jet was used to transfer prisoners as well.

Sarah Paline claims she fired her chef but in fact she gave her a new title and she still cooks for the Palin family.

John McCain wants to change things up. IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN OR AN INDEPENDENT – ASK YOURSELF JUST EXACLTY WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. HE WANTS TO ELIMINATE PORK BARREL SPENDING = MORE JOBS LOST. HE WANTS TO MAKE THE RICH (HE AND CINDY) EVEN MORE RICH. E.G. $600,000 INCOME = $50.000 REDUCTION IN YEARLY TAXES.

JOHN MCCAIN WILL ALIENATE THE USA FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. COUNTRIES WILL HARDEN AND GALVANIZE TOWARDS US. THE DRAFT WILL HAVE TO BE RESTORED. IS THIS WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR COUNTRY????????????????????????????????

"Let Obama win the election and the question won't be whether there is another attack but where this week's attack will be."

For shame, sir! What you have just said is no better than the GOP's "Vote for us or terrorists will kill you!" strategy.

It is fear-mongering, and I for one am SICK of people telling me that only the Republicans can keep us safe.

Democrats are not terrorist-coddlers, sir, and for you to even SUGGEST that makes me ashamed to call you a fellow citizen.

The terrorist do not need to attack the United States as the original hit accomplished what they wanted it to. Americans now do not trust their government and the economy stinks because our government decided to enter a fruitless war and drive our economy into the ground.

A change in presidency (either republican or democrat) will not immediately change this situation as it took eight years to get here and it will take another eight to get out. The next president can only hope to escape the scapegoat mentality of Americans.

Mickey from Texas and the rest-
It is a memorial to those who died that day–
You wonder why some people call some others unpatriotic-
It should be a constant reminder-
Pearl Harbor has a memorial and a movies that continually portray that tragedy-Directed and Produced by your liberal friends and actors who don't seem to have a problem as long as it brings in the almighty buck but for a person to just make it a reminder but happens not to be a liberal - you jump on him-
What a hippocrite–people like you are–

Obama is the head of foreign relations commission and has yet to attend a meeting on Afghanistan. This is the kind of attention we can expect if he's elected President.
"O"bama
"O" = zero

Yes, vote for McCain who will keep us safe, but let us starve on the streets.

I'm really tired of the GOP milking the 9/11 "mantle." I knew people who died in the Towers and have a friend who lost her sister in law when the plane hit the Pentagon. To milk this for your political advantage is just disgusting.

This country has always had enemies who wanted to destroy us – the British (War of 1812), the Barbary Pirates (not long after the Revolutionary War) the Japanese (WWII) and the Russians (The Cold War). The difference between these enemies and terrorists is that we could point to a place and say there they are – with terrorists, we can't say that .

Do we need to be vigilant – yes. Should we live in fear – no. By living in fear and betraying the principles that this country was founded on, we are letting the terrorists win.

Let's also remember Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.
Let's also remember that Ronald Reagan's administration sold Iraq the chemical weapons used against the Kurds and that picture of a smiling Donald Rumsfeld and Saddam Hussein shaking hands after the chemical weapons were utilized.
Let's also remember that the Bush and Bin Laden families are good friends and pappy Bush (George H.W. Bush #41) was having breakfast with Bin Ladens brother at the Ritz Carlton in Washington, DC as the events of that fateful day unfolded and the towers collapsed.
The United States is not any safer today than it was on Sept. 10th, 2001 and Bin Laden is still at large.
Another issue the war pig McCain is afraid to address.

ENOUGH!
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08-12

The greatest fear of attack is ECONOMICS! Nations go belly up, not because of physical attacks, but because of economic faliures WITHIN. There you have it– let the economy of the U.S. continue to go down the drain; let the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer. Soon, you would want someone from the outside, not only to loan you money, but to take over your country (attack and defeat the powerful within).

The problem, as my European friends always remind me, is that 95% of the American voter lacks the basic fundamentals of history. Rather, they have the fundamentals of religion (another form of internal attack!).

On this day 7 years ago the terrorists didn't care if they were killing democrats or republicans. They were killing americans. On 9/11 aniversaries politics should be put to rest. Country first.

The Republicans still blame Bill Clinton for the tragedy, but my question is why did Bush ignore his daily briefing in August which predicted some tragic move against American.

Oh I forgot, Bush was in Crawford, cutting brush...

We're winning the war, thanks to Bush? I don't think promising, maybe, to bring home 8,000 of the 140,000 soldiers shows that we're winning anything. The war was set up by Bush as unwinnable. How do you defeat terrorists with troops, guns, and bombs? You can't. There are more terrorists in Iraq now than there were under Saddam, who kept them out.
I believe there will be some sort of attack, and soon, because the Presidential race is not in McCain's pocket yet. Bush and Cheney have some event in the works so they can declare a national emergency and suspend the election, ensuring their run to fascism will go on. Never underestimate the arrogance and cruelty of those two. And this falls in Pelosi's lap as well, for her unwillingness to do the right thing and impeach them. This America scares me.

A strong economy is one of the first lines of defense. If our economy tanks, everything else will, too. You could see that much from the fall of the Soviet Union.

McCain's clinging to the "trickle-down" model of economics is a recipie for disaster. That's been tried for eight years, and the results from it have been getting steadily worse and worse. John McCain could very easily be a worse president than Bush, because he's been dealt even worse cards to begin with than Bush had. And McCain has given every indication that he will play them poorly. McCain has given a lot of promises that he's already proven are hollow, because his actions don't support his words. John McCain would be a disaster... and you can bet the terrorists are waiting to capitalize on it.

God Bless America! Keep the left wing Democrats out of the White House! God Bless the souls of 9/11!

Bush's policies have done nothing to protect the nation. He can't even keep illegal immigrants out, he tried to sell control of several US ports to a firm from the UAE, and you idiot conservatives say he has protected us? Please. We must not vote for a continuation of his disastrous policies. Vote for real change. Don't vote for more of the same. Don't vote for censorship and corruption.

Obama/Biden 08.

So Sarah's getting a team of people to help her deceive the American people, and make them believe she will be ready on Day One.

This proves who will make a better president, someone who makes the right and smart choice for VP, a choice that is good for the country. Or, someone who makes a smart choice for himself, a choice that will pander to his base.

Barack Obama for President/ Joe Biden for Vice President.

Why do you people still inflict your hate on this day? Doesn't matter which party your with we all came together that day and the days afterward but now there's still a few that want to turn this day into your lies and hate. Get over it the blogs will still be here tomorrow.

My prayers goes out to the families that lost some one on this sad day in America's History.

/

Why do people try to boost their selves on others loses.......some people prefer not to be reminded

To: willifloyd...

Biden's an idiot–he must be limited to 1000 words or less or will likely be eating his own foot.

Have you wondered why this esteemed gentleman hasn't been able to rise above Senator?

Because even the Democrats knew he was an idiot–that's why.

I see Palin is still afraid to talk to reporters.

Named on Aug 29 and not ONE interview. What is she hiding and will she have to have campaign managers talk to world leaders for her?

Right On Country First. Are Americans stupid or what? No disrespect
to John McCain, but a captured POW and a hard headed woman (like
George Bush) with absolutely no foreign relations policy experience
is suppose to protect this country from harm? If Americans don't wake
up to their stupid prejudices, they will be instrumental in electing the
most dangerous couple in American history. Even more dangerous than Bush. Let's not even talk about Hurricane Katrina.

Yesterday, Biden said that Clinton would be the better pick... Why couldn't the Democrats make the change now? If Biden chooses to give up his post to Clinton then that would bring the spotlight back to the Democrats and McCain/Palin ticket would really have to work their butts off to get noticed again.

What's the matter, CNN? Why didn't CNN print my comments? Where is the comment? Your article that tries to blast Republicans in Favor of Obama is an Obtuse Attempt at Politicizing Terrorist Attacks.
CNN should be ashamed. This Article supports the role of President Bush and shows what a great job he has done to protect this Nation.
Print my comments, CNN!!!!

It is amazing that today 52% of American acutally think that the War in Iraq ever had anything to do with stopping terrorism. The only think that brought about terrorist activities within Iraq, was the Bush Administration, invasion of Iraq, that opened the door.

Bush uses a new term in his some what limited vocabulary, it is regeim change. Forty years ago we called it nation building, it did not work then and it is not working today.

So how does one "handle" terrorism, by treating it as it has been treated for over 2000 years, as a criminal act. Arrest, convict, punish, take away the air of legitamencey that declaring a "War on Terror" creates and treat them as the crimminal that they are and place them in prison. Don't given them the satifaction of marterdom. Stop playing their games and start enforcing the rules.

The biggest "terror" concern we as Americans could have is an Obama Administration (which, by the way, will not happen this time).

This Headline can change Overnight. Always, when Nations become smug and complacent, tragedy strikes. What is this article? Is CNN trying to usurp the whole idea that Citizens of the United States are NOT concerned about another Terrorist Attack? Trying to come up with obtuse arguments for Obama? Get Real, CNN, Americans are much smarter than CNN's Ploy and Ridiculous Tactics in this Campaign.

911 happened during the repuglicans watch. How did they keep us safe? I guess mccain can let his pit bull out the cage to go after the terrorists. Can anyone honestly see palin speaking with foriegn leaders diplomatically? I can't and I did try. How is she not ready for interviews and to campaign by herself yet be ready to be VP?

Thanks President Bush for keeping us safe.

I am sure President McCain will keep us safe too.

I am sure Obama would not keep us safe.

God bless the people that died in 9/11.

Americans will never forget you.

Americans will never allow Democrats to run this country.

McCain 08

And some of us can't help but wonder what our administration might be wiling to do to increase that waning public concern.

This administration, in particular has manipulatively used the fear and patriotism cards as a means to control people.

I hope more citizens have become aware of such tactics.

No fear

Just think...Sarah Palin will take all the terrorists on singlehandedly before long! UGH!!!

It is ironic that exactly 7 years ago ,today,the American people were under attack by foreign terrorists and thousands of voices were silenced perminantly, and here we are 7 years later,fighting a battle ,not much less crucial,because millions of voices have been silenced by a Powerful Domestic force,known as the DNC,and we are still struggling to right the wrongs! As we stop to remember those who lost their lives in our freedom efforts,lets remember,that our freedom of free speech,our right to vote and to be heard,is one on those many freedoms that we take for granted,but that we can loose at the drop of a pen. It was a Republican that saw us through the 9/11 crisis,and we need now, to defeat the DNC that caused our last crisis,and elect a Rep. John McCain, in order to finally regain our voices that have so easily been dismissed by the Dem. Party.

We are still not safe enough. There is still a threat in the air. And while federal authorities are so concerned about another air attack, they need to focus on simple "soft target" terrorism. If a pair of suicide bombers decide to detonate in Times Square, it's likely to be worst than 9/11. The TSA and Homeland Security are not doing a good enough job for me to feel safe. There are all kinds of ways this country can be attacked and I don't thnk Homeland Security is prepared for that. The simonella outbreak in the tomatoes, green onions and jalapenos could have been an attack on our food supply.

I know for a fact that my chance of being personally affected by any possible terrorist attack is slim to none, Republican fear tactics to the contrary.
What I'm worried about is losing my job and not being able to feed and house my children, and even if I can manage to stay afloat not being able to offer them anywhere close to the future they deserve or the opportunities I had.
Who's going to help fix our education system so they can be competitive in the current and future career marketplace?
Who's going to help me get affordable health care for them? My daughter slammed her finger in a door on a recent Saturday evening, we had to use the ER for the broken bone and torn and copiously bleeding nail – her (expensive) insurance called it unnecessary and did not cover a penny of the $1,353.00 bill for an X-ray, four stitches and a splint. I am appealing, but doubt I will ever see a penny.
Who's going to help me put together the money they will need for college or even good trade schools when the time comes? My own savings won't be enough, there isn't enough left over at the end of the month and it is getting less and less all the time.
Don't whine at me about "Lipstick", I see lipstick every day in the mirror. Don't try to make me afraid of terrorists everywhere just waiting for my personal blood to feed some kind of holy war, I'm more afraid of religious fanatics here at home. Talk to me about bread and butter!!!! Tell me how you're going to fix the mess this country is in so I can raise my family!!!

For all the bad mouthing everyone on this blog gives George Bush (and I know many will refuse to acknowledge anything good) you have to admit, HIS administration has stopped further attacks on our soil.

HIS ADMINISTRATION, and thank you for that.

I am sure many of you pinko lefty's would rather shoot themselves, but he accomplished one goal, OUR SAFETY!!!

I still think he is an awful President etc. . . . . . but, I believe you have to give credit where it's due. And for the simple fact that no other civilians have been injured on our soil, Good Job!!!

Why do "most Americans" – if that's even true – believe that McCain would handle the threat of terrorism any better than Pres. Bush. McCain has agreed with Bush on almost every policy. These policies have created more terrorist, not fewer.

In fact, I don't know why the polls are even close. Republicans have been in complete control of the House, Senate, and White House for over 6 years. Democrats still don't have a large enough majority to affect policy much.

How do you like your health care situation? Are you having a problem paying your mortgage? Are your wages stagnant while prices keep climbing? Do you have confidence that the FDA is inspecting our food? Do you really think the Energy and Interior departments are representing our interests? Just this morning there's an article about corruption and loss of billions of dollars in those departments! If your son or daughter is in Iraq, will they receive proper care if they are wounded? If they do, it's thanks to Clinton, Obama, and a Republican named Graham. McCain opposed restoring the GI benefits that HE enjoyed when he returned from the Vietnam War.

And how about that $9 trillion deficit! Borrow and spend? The bills come due eventually.

Where are your priorities? Are you really content with the mess the Republicans have made.

Hey GOP . . .the election is coming up . . .time to raise the threat level to yellow.

We have not fulfilled our debt to the people who lost their lives in the full tragedy of 9/11/01.

how is it that republicans can defend us from terroists but democrats cant? Im sure Mccain will be riding his campaign on the horrible attack on 9/11. Just like he showed that horrible video at his convention. DISGUSTING!

i'm not so worried about a terrorist attack, as i am ww lll ,if mccain/palin are elected.

God Bless all the poeple who lost any loved ones on this day 7 years ago & all the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for all of us in this sad, never-ending war.

May God rest the souls of every victim who died during 9/11, and the American soldiers during the two wars of Afghanistan and Iraq.

May God Bless America.

Bin Laden will be "captured" before the election, and somehow McCain will get some credit for that. Or some "attack" will be thwarted and the Republicans will remind us that it is a dangerous world.

It is difficult to say if our current feelings of security from attack are related to the untiring commitment (despite horrendous sacrifice in popularity) of GW Bush who has maintained that: we must confront terrorist where they reside; we must protect the U.S. by integration of intelligence of all government sources to the Dept. of Homeland Security; we must be prepared, equipped, organized, and equipped from the bottom-up to appropriately warn our citizens of threats–and appropriately respond to any future attacks by terrorists.

Sadly...the immense paradigm change in how we respond to attacks and natural disasters–is better thanks to GW Bush than any time in our nations history. And the poor schmuck gets no credit for it.

We haven't had an attack since 9-11....but will any future President be as willing as GW Bush to sacrifice his own popularity and footnote in history–to achieve the same results?

Ultimate act of self-sacrifice...staying the course despite the naysayers–even at your own demise. If this is a measurement of courage–then GW Bush is a hero. If this is a decision point for the Commander-In-Chief...then I guess we have some serious soul searching to consider in the upcoming election. Which candidate will keep the same faith with their responsibility as defender of the nation–even if it means sacrificing their own politcal future? Who to choose?

Why are we talking about issues when lipsticks and pigs are currently at a crisis level according to McCain/Palin?! What a travesty of journalism to be reporting facts and figures!

9/11 would never have happened if Condi Rice and the rest of the Bush administration had paid attention to George Tenet's warning 2 months before it happened that Saudis were taking fight lessons in Florida and taken action, instead of being fixated on finding a way to invade Iraq.

The American Military has done an outstanding job of hunting down terrorists worldwide.

Thank GOD we didn't have a bumbling fool like Gore or Kerry in office following 9/11!!

MCCAIN/ PALIN '08!! The only answer for America.

We should always be vigil to our surroundings.

Typical. American's attention spans are about 5 seconds long, and of course it's fashionable to be a "Bush Hater" now, so very few people will realize that Bush has done a VERY good job of keeping us safe. It will be noted, however, by history. Long after the crying whiners are gone, objective historians will be consistently noting that the world changed on 9/11, and Bush did a hell of a good job in managing a situation that was unlike any other previously seen.

I'm not crazy about everything Bush has done, but there are VERY few Presidents who garner that approval while in office or shortly thereafter. The sad thing is that as a society we're so self-centered, so whiny, and so politically correct that we can't even give credit where credit is due. The Chinese government, with their longer perspective on time, must be very happy watching American society basically implode from protest, whining, selfishness, etc.

If it's war you want, ot to worry. I guarantee that McSame will have us in one in no time. He may even have to send the Lipstick pig up to Alaska to run the first line of defense, after all every state will be counting on her and the hockey mom will protect us. I can see it now, a bikini clad dynamo with a gun standing along side (or behind) our great troops. Hell that's what you get with a sleazeball democracy. If anyone votes for this idiot, they need to be in a Mental Institution.

the previous comment should have been 4000 deaths caused by bush- to say nothing of the tens of thousands of crippled and disfigured!

Good. I think the numbers reflect that most people are still aware of the risks of terrorism, but they're no longer letting it rule their lives. Living in fear is not an option. That is the main reason that republicans playing the fear card won't work this time.

Remember: The only way that the terrorists can win is by changing the way Americans live their lives.

Also remember, the McCain campaign already stated that a terrorist strike between now and the election would help them win. If that does happen, you'll know where to look first.

The 911 terrorist killed over 3000 , bush decided to invade iraq and caused the deaths of over 400 americans just because he wanted to, and McCain would continue that policy! After agreeing to pull troops out, if we suddenly decided to kee troops there as McCain wants, can you imagine the uprising that would result?

In a previous blog I wrote about public opinion in Canada surging to get our troops out of Afghanistan because of the American public's support for the Republican war mongering. CNN didn't allow this blog to be published.

Such overwhelming support for John McCain is telling the world that Americans have a greater desire for war and control of the world than they have for their own economic and social well being.

Now with elections being held in Canada the Conservative party here announced a firm withdrawl date of all troops from Afghanistan as I had predicted would happen.

The fact is Russia lost in Afghanistan and the U.S. and coalition forces are not making any greater progress than the Russians. A McCain presidency will be geared to keeping U.S. soldier in Iraq to protect their big oil interests there with little or no attention to the country where the terrorists train and operate from.

Watch the rest of the nations follow suit in the very near future as America heads in the wrong direction on the world stage.

Complacency is why the attacks succeeded 7 years ago. I heard about a survey this morning that says 2/3 of Americans feel that we are not in danger of another attack within the next 6 months to a year. Complacency.

For the sake of all of those who died that day, we must be ever vigilant.

Ouch, looks like McCain's in for a surprise if he thinks his rhetoric and empty words about Iraq will get him anywhere.

Thank You President Bush.

Thank you, President George W. Bush!

I'm always nervous on bright clear September mornings now, I work in ground zero, 3weeks after the sneak attack. Like I stated clear bright Sept 11, mornings are nolonger Good Mornings. It is now History like Dec. 7, and Nov. 22.

Common American

comment is awaiting moderation.
This president has done nothing to protect us from a terrorist attack, and his failure to secure our borders has increased the likelyhood of an attack, The war in Iraq has done nothing to decrease the threat of an attack. Terrorists don't fight for land: they fight for ideals. You can't fight against ideals with bombs and bullets. A president who is willing to talk with and deal with terrorists is more likely to protect us, and McCain has flatly refused to accept this as a policy.
Governments have been fighting Christianity for centuries. No government has defeated Christianity except by brute force. The same applies to the Islamists terrorists. Brute force is not the answer, and McCain is not the man to get it done.

I guess McCain and Palin are going to take credit for that too.

If you believe the terrorists of the world now love the United States and have no desire to hurt us.............then you live in la la land.

I think we're finally getting to the point where we can move on.

Let's get going. Further up and further in.

Americans are finally awake! The fear instilling tactics have been jolted out of the republicans' playbook by the natural healing power of truth.Let this war monger of mcINSANE get lost!

Oh! You mean they finally stopped trying to scare the bajesus out of us?

That was kind of them.

No big shock in any of that.

Republicans are concerned about anything military. They think that wars and military service are virtually the only way to express or practice patriotism. If we were not at "war" in Iraq or Afganistan right now, the Republicans wouldn't have a leg to stand on. As long as there is something to fear (and face it, there's not), then they have a chance.

Democrats tend to concern themselves foremost with domestic policy and social issues, with the military kept in the place where it should be: strong defense that isn't "in your face" all of the time.

Right now, it is the Democrats who have the upper hand. The economy is the real threat right now. The occupation of Iraq and the virtual non-existant effort in Afganistan are not front-and-center.

Well, it's glad to know most Americans can't be fear-mongered into voting.

Why do the terrorist need to attack us directly when we; 1) allow the FDA to allow unchecked, tainted food and drugs into our country, 2) allow illegal immigrants to cross our borders on a daily basis, 3) depend so heavily on oil from other countries, 4) allow our federal deficit to run up to 407 billions dollars and then let other countries buy our debt and 5) let the value of the dollar fall so low that companies in the united states accept the euro as payment for goods and services.

People have many other things to think about now rather than wasting time thinking about terrorists. That is what ouf presently failed government has failed so miserably to do...get rid of bin Laden! Folks with empty wallets do not have the required resources nor time to catch up with Laden. End of story! Our big government with all its resources, atomic bombs, and big guns can only supply us with Republican rhetoric is gonna do, provided bin Laden will not do it AGAIN to us FIRST! Americans' biggest weapon against terrorism seems to be KEEPING THEIR FINGERS CROSSED! I SAY KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED TIGHTLY! THIS ALSO HELPS THE ECONOMY...AMERICANS! That way you can't reach for your wallet next time you see some toy you can't live without!

The only terrorist attack we have to worry about is the terror within. Otherwise known as Evangelicals with lipstick.

Here in NYC we live in fear every single day. The rest of you only notice us on 9-11.

How could we be attacked? With God-like Obama ready to send a plague down on anyone who would dare to thereaten us, the terrorists are now running scared....

I have to say that the work the intelligence community and the military has done is only a small part why there has been no new major attack on US soil. The other reason which I believe is a major reason is that the terrorists take their time in planning and watching. They can wait all they want because their culture of death has no time table.

I also believe Obama has the knowledge on how to handle the terrorist situation. He isnt going to go in on a whim like Bush/McCain did on Iraq. HE is going to figure it out.. and when there is a open window like Bill CLinton had to get Terrorist...He is gonna do it.

Obama doesnt sit around twiddling his thumbs wasting time

Obama doesnt act on a whim and make bad choices. He thinks it through.

That is what we need!!

Don't worry, OBL will make a surprise appearance from his "cave" just in time to spook voters into voting republican before the election.

People have many other things to think about now rather than wasting time thinking about terrorists. That is what ouf presently failed government has failed so miserably to do...get rid of bin Laden!

This is what the Terrorist look for... vulnerability. They know we Americans forgive and Forget very quickly. We quickly feel "safe" before we Really are.

Terrorism should be one of the HUGE factors in who we elect. We dont need anyone sleeping at the Wheel like Clinton and Bush did. Letting things slide by and think its nothing. Terrorist take YEARS to plan an attack, because over those years people feel safer and safer and then it gets easier and easier to carry it out.

At the moment Terrorist are attacking out soldiers overseas!

It DOES matter!!

Well, the elected officials are doing a pretty good job of destroying the nation on their own. Corruption is rampant, both in congress (Rangle the latest) and the business world (Enron, Fannie and Freddie). Moral disintegration of our society has been one of the issues the terrorist state as a reason for destroying us. When the full impact of the recent economic failures hits this weak society and the whines of the entitled, disgrunted scum reaches fever pitch over what they do not have, the enemies will deliver a catastrophic blow. Our enemies are extremely patient, an aspect greatly lacking in our culture and possibly a fatal one. Semper Fi.

This is thanks to Pres. Bush who is a strong leader. He has kept our country safe because terrorists know he will protect our country. Obama wants to cut our military and our defences like star wars because he thinks he can talk to terrorists and they are going to listen.

Most American think McCain will do a better job than Obama on terrorisim? A man who's solution to every international problem is to go to war.

The war in Iraq should not have happened until AFTER we eliminated the Terrorist Leaders in Afghanastan. Instead the Bush/McCain people voted for the Iraq war before the first job was completed. Think about it, had we eliminated the terrorist leaders first, how much better off would we be? Therefore, because we didn't finish the first war, we ruined our Economy by fighting two wars at once...and we've been at it too long and have loss too many of our young soldiers.
SO HOW CAN WE GIVE ANY CREDIT TO BUSH OR McCAIN??????

We all know that a month from 11/4 the fear-mongering politics will start from GOP. I got news for you MCPAIN ROVE : NOT THIS TIME!

John McCain would have went one strp futher and bomb IRAN,,

My prayers are still with those who lost a love one on this faithful day..

Yesterday the Sec to Homeland security said Al-qaida attack in this land is still possible. What have we been doing since the last attack? Why have we not captured/killed Osama and his cell since then? Imagine him smiling at his achievements over us esp deaths/casualties he inflicted to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.His troops were never in Iraq until we invaded.He now has another fresh base in Iraq.What did we gain after gross loss of lives and money! Mcain lied to the whole world that Sadddam had WMDS. Mr Mcain,it is 6yrs now since the war started,where are they? When we focus on Osama,am sure to re-enlist and serve my Country for the right cause!

TODAY IS SEPT 11,A DAY WE LOST THOUSANDS OF LIVES AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. WE MOURN WHILE OSAMA LOOMS LOOSE IN HIS CAVES. WHY DID JOHN MCAIN AND GEORGE BUSH SHIFT OUR FIGHT FROM AFGHANISTAN TO IRAQ? SADDAM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SEPT 11 AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW THAT. WHERE ARE WMDS THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT? We should hold Mcain and Bush accountable for their actions and threat to our Nation.

way to go keeping yesterday's Biden ticker on top CNN. on the anniversary of 9/11, this should squarely be on the top!

OBAMA '08

Bush and McCain have made us more safe but we are still not completely safe. We need strong leaders not some weaklings in the high office.

McCain will protect us and our country and our values. I am not sure that Obama will. In fact I doubt that Obama has the strength to do so.

By the way lipstick wearers, why do you let Obama dis you. Why didn't Obama say "well put a suit and tie on the pig and he is still a pig/" But no, Obama had to once again dis the females. He didn't pick Hillary and even Joe said,

“Make no mistake about this, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight,” Biden said testily.

So you have one candidate that is giving a woman a chance at the Office of Vice President and on the other hand you have a candidate dising women. You choose.

I choose McCain.

Throughout history compacency has led to disaster.

Today is another anniversary of that awful day, and yet the McCain camp showed no respect at his convention for this at all. (SHAMEFUL)
Proudly showing the twin towers covered in smoke and bringing back untold memories for those who lost their loved ones.
This was just another disgraceful attempt to keep up their constant
"FEAR FACTOR" , vote for us or else!!!
The Mccain camp should be ashamed of themselves and the American people need to wake up to this "say anything, do anything"
to get elected policies of the McCain camp!

I am concerned about a terrorist attack and I believe most Americans agree that it is inevitable that we will be attacked. However when we are faced with a trillion dollar foreign debt. When we face an economic depresion that may destroy our nation. When we think that the most dangerous war monger and the least qualified woman may soon be running our country. Terrorism just has to take it's place at the back of our minds.

How soon we forget?
Our young and old people are still being killed every day in Iraq and Afganistan.
What, exactly, does it take to qualify as a terrorist attack?

Maybe we can stop being afraid, and elect Obama/Biden to take the fight to our enemies, instead of trying to STEAL the OIL of Irag. This is what happens when we elect two oil men to run our GREAT country. McCain voted with Bush 90%..... he will NOT change ANYTHING... he AGREES with Bush and Cheney.

NOWAY, NOHOW, NO MCCAIN, NO MCPALIN, NO MORE FOUR YEARS, NO MORE FEARS, NO MORE WARS, NO MORE LIES, NO MORE SMEARS, NO MORE DISTORTIONS, NO MORE KATHRINA, NO MORE POVERTY, NO MORE NONHEALTHCARE, NO MORE VETO THREAT, NO MORE NONEDUCATION, NO MORE TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRS...

ENOUGH!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Let Obama win the election and the question won't be whether there is another attack but where this week's attack will be. Whether you like Bush or not (I don't particularly care for him myself), his policies are the biggest reason that we have not been attacked.

I'll say it since the democrats and liberals won't. THANK YOU PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH FOR KEPPING AMERICA SAFE THESE PAST 7 YEARS!!!.

I only learned last eve. of the death of Mr. McCaffertys' wife. Please allow me to express my deepest sympathy to him and his family. He is basically the only thing CNN has going for them.

I would also like to ask how you determine the # of comments allowed on each article? Biden's statement re: HRC as the possible v.p. choice had 266 comments. The article re: Biden's interview about his first wife had 1 comment. Strange that the article which could create such controversy for Sen. Biden and the Obama campaign had 266 while the article which would most likely be favorable toward Biden only had 1. Do I detect JUST A HINT of bias???

OBAMA/BIDEN

Will this get posted?? only the shadow knows.

Dont worry...the repuke will contiune to beat the war drums over the next few months until november. I can hardly fill up my tank every week and I am in the military. I guess I am not working hard enough for you repuks...huh fellas? Whatever.

really? Just give the GOP a couple weeks and then they will be talking about possible attacks to try and ramp up the fear factor. I don't know why no-one has called them out on the fact that we were attacked when they were in office...on their watch!@!!!!!!

The fact that there is less concern about a terrorist attack now is proof of the effective job the Bush administration has done to protect our country from terrorists. It also underscores the importance of electing McCain President to continue the Bush policies. Although we're secure now, we can't forget 9/11 as the Democrats want us to do. We need to continue the war on terror until the threat is eliminated.

Regarding Iraq, the war is not as much of an issue to most voters now because liberal media outlets like CNN, which dominate news coverage, have stopped focusing on it. The reason is that much to their chagrin, we're winning the war, thanks to Bush.

The republicans were in the white house when the terrorists attacked
this country. How are they going to protect us.? John McCain chose
a country first mantra, then he selects a woman with no foreign policy
experience whatsoever, and proclaims to have no interest in the Iraq war. How are they going to protect us? John McCain's claim to fame is
being a POW. I respect that. But if John McCain is captured again
while he is asleep in the white house, How are they going to protect
us? Americans had better think long and hard before they allow the
republicans to fool this country again.

Print this CNN

YEAH, we aren't as concerned about terrorisn, because THE ECONOMY is so bad!!!

Our jobs have been outsourced. Americans have no more manufactoring jobs or steel mills. If we go to war with Russia or Iran, we can't even make our own tanks anymore. We would have to order them from China, for pete's sake!!!

The Iraq war is costing us 341.4 million dollars per day - that's 238,425 dollars PER MINUTE!!!

AND we are BORROWING that money from china!!!

And with all that McCain voted with Bush 91 percent of the time!!

We need the real change!!!

Vote OBAMA!!!

The country was protected by the initiative of pursuing terrorists elsewhere....
And we do not want to change that.....
Obama: Change change change,.... change of fools....

Palin is full of scandals trooper gate, per diem gate, and now email gate and she and her husband has more questionable ties than Obama ever had. John McCain doesn't know didly about anything and the republicans have nothing going for them but stupid voters who are going to vote for them no matter what.

Major news media will not even bring Palin scandals to blogs like these for comment in an attempt to keep people for knowing what's happening and help the republicans stay in office.

My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families that lost loved ones on this tragic day.

"most american's think McCain would be better at handling terrorism"...are they NUTS??? Look how the last Republican buffoon did with the aftermath of 9/11. He STARTED a war that has cost this country dearly, economically but most importantly the lives of our children! Wake up people...don't FALL for that shy is falling crap again!!!

This president has done nothing to protect us from a terrorist attack, and his failure to secure our borders has increased the likelyhood of an attack, The war in Iraq has done nothing to decrease the threat of an attack. Terrorists don't fight for land: they fight for ideals. You can't fight against ideals with bombs and bullets.

Governments have been fighting Christianity for centuries. No government has defeated Christianity except by brute force. The same applies to the Islamists terrorists. Brute force is not the answer, and McCain is not the man to get it done.

I'm more than happy that we haven't been attacked... but we better not get too comfortable.

My greatest concern of the past seven years, has been the Bush Administration

They have done more damage to this country than any terrorist ever could

As well I feel quite confident that the Bush Administration was behind the Twin Towers destruction

George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are the leaders of the terrorist movement against this country

After John McCain's disgusting portrayal of 9-11 video during his convention it bothered me that this man had no conscience or shame. What in the world was he thinking (or not?) To use 9-11 video as a Political statement was very disturbing.
As for Rudy using it as a trademark with his cross-dressing, twice married hypocritical self was equally disturbing. I'll never understand how Repubs think they can set rules for the rest of America and think they are above following them as well.
God forbid had Obama tried to use 9-11 video!
