Powell: We'll Go After Them By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON (Sept. 12) - The government went back to work amid the carnage Wednesday, its political leaders, diplomats and soldiers leaving no doubt the terrorist assault will be answered. ''We will go after them,'' Secretary of State Colin Powell vowed. ''We will not let up.'' President Bush was in the Oval Office at 7 a.m., preparing for a unity meeting with congressional leaders and helping to set up a Red Cross blood drive at the White House. ''It is a war,'' Powell said. ''It's a war not against the United States, it's a war against civilization.'' Powell told ABC's ''Good Morning America'' that the administration was ''far from selecting any particular military targets'' for retaliation against the attacks that brought down the towers of the World Trade Center in New York and four hijacked U.S. jetliners, and breached the Pentagon. ''I would not remove any of the options available to the president,'' he said. But ''we have to build the case first.'' Military and civilian employees of the Pentagon filed into work even as smoke from the stricken section of the building wafted over the nearby Virginia hillsides and highways. The State Department, which closed after the attacks, opened again.

I can't post much today because of ISP trouble. I'll post some references later if I can. Obviously my dislike of Bush is not popular on this thread, but no, Clinton worked hard to defuse and stabilize situations that Bush has already destabilized. Bush Jr. I am not Republican or Democrat though I tend to the latter, however I very much respect & voted for Guiliani. And I liked Reagan, overall, in spite of the economic damage his policies did at home. I like him because he helped bring down the Berlin Wall. From my perspective Bush is not smart enough, and he has hobbled Colin Powell, somebody else I also like and respect. He doesn't understand what's at stake in a situation like this. I can't see one good decision he's made since he's been in office, from Kyoto onward. All of Europe was outraged at that one. In this case, when somebody like Kissinger comes in and writes what Scott posted--that has the flavor of authority, wisdom, and experience. And I agree 100% with what Kissinger wrote. These are my perspectives...and that particular post was a response to, was this calculated to affect our markets? No. This was a response to aligning ourselves too storngly with Israel at this time. There is a time and a place for everything. Look, I"m Jewish, in many ways I'm pro-Israel, but I'm human too. I don't think Israel should be murdering Palestinians. They have a right to live peacefully too. Please take this all in stride, these are just my opinions, and everybody else has a right to theirs.
