Some of you might know that I am in the Marines stationed at Camp Lejeune. I am sitting in my office observing and listening to the crazy stuff going on here. Status changes continiously. I wish I could tell more, but I don't know too much and what I do know cannot be posted here.

Pray for the nation and all the victims. I hope I can go home today.

Our local news confirmed that he is here in Louisiana. Probably won't hang around for long. I was wondering earlier why our city was going into a state of emergency, maybe this is why.

My god I'm stunned.

I still have to go to class today at 6:30 eastern. I dont think I can concentrate. Also today I was supposed to pick up my car...but I dont know what to do now.

I guess I better start preparing my military uniform...I might be reporting to duty soon.

God bless all those whose lives were lost, and affected by this act of war on the US. May god have mercy on those responsible.

Hopefully there wont be anymore attacks for the time being.

I just got an e-mail from CoffeeCup software. Here is a direct quote of what they yhad to say:
We would like to also say on record that if any country
is found responsible for these attacks, we call for that
country's complete destruction and annihilation.

I'm sorry, and this is going to be the most racist thing I have ever said, but all Arabs should be rounded up and sent back to their own country.
ok mikemean, your on my ignore list from now on because of that comment...



and about this issue, yes we muslims get blamed for it, the guy on the news was saying "muslims believe that people who sacrifice themselves will go to a better place." That got me sooo ticked off. Yes it probably was bin ladan, but Bin Ladan is a psycho, what he is doing is not jihad (holy war). probably only .5 % of muslims believe bin ladan. Now what you just said mikemean wasnt just to arabs, but was to me and all the muslims that live in US. People like bin ladan give Muslims an extremely bad name.

If any of you guys were watching when those children and women (who were muslim also), jumping up and down happily because the US was hit, they have a reason to. Who is supporting the israelis? the US. Who is fighting the Israelis? the Palestinians. which means that the Palestinians are against the US. Of course they would jump up and down.


I felt extremely weird when i heard this, and was there a month ago looking up at it. It felt as if i was in a movie or something. I thought of prey when i remember him saying that he lived in manhattan, and i was like "oh Sh!t."

I hope nothing else happens that is extremely big. I am in school right now and i watched the news report while getting ready, and here at my german class. I hope nothing else happens as i said before..

this shows what racist there are. to totaly condemn a whole group of pepole just because of the actions of a few demented individuals. as i wrote earlier, this sentiment will be far reaching and unfortunatly, many muslim/arabs will unduly be discriminated against and face this same persucution.

vegeto, watch out for yourself. Many people are pissed at the muslims and arabs today. I would hate very much to hear of you getting attacked or some other dumb sh!t, because some d!ck head can't control their anger.

I am Sorry for the rash comments that you are now reading on this forum. The whole thing has shocked most of us into a state of unthinking.

Things are being said in anger and confusion. Please forgive us.

I offer my appology. I just woke up and was still sleepy and a little angry. Again, I offer my own appology. I'm very sorry Vegeto, I didn't realize what I said until it was pointed out that you were muslim. Again, I'm sorry. What I said was in anger, and not appropriate.

Vegeto, I have a neighbor right next door who is Muslim and from Afghanistan. I have not seen him come out of his house since before the jets hit the buildings. I can only imagine what is going through his mind at this point. Might have to go check on him and his family.

Their closing malls, the Riverwalk and access to the Mississippi river. It's being rumored that they are moving Bush up the river to avoid him being in the air. I don't think it's true though. It's getting weird around here. Lots of things closing and limited access to buildings, our guard is on alert, and our military bases also are on alert.

i just want to tell anyone that is in the service to be safe, i will prey for you and your family, and may God be with you. i know that what has happened means war and our military will be called to assist our country. just thought i'd wish you luck.

We have seen their kind before. They're the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies.

We never really have had a chance. We've never found him, and although there are always rumors and reports of his whereabouts, he's definately smart enough to avoid the US.

i havnt read the whole thread but i know everything thats happend cuz we watched it all day at school today. this is truly horrible. the worst attack on the US in the history of our nation. technically we cant go to war because there is no deffinate nation just a group but we can bomb the hell outta some folks. i only wish i was old enough to go. id love to be the one who put the gun to usama binladin's head and pulled the trigger. although i know plenty of people deserve that alot more than me. i wish he could be tortured by every american. i wish they would tie him down and let everybody who wishes to participate tear chunks out of his skin with tweasers. they could make it a televised event and everybody could stand in line to do it. this is total bull**** and there will be reprocussions and bush is gonna hunt em down.
