Some comments on your post by Dan Frisa...... >>>President George W. Bush last night once again clearly demonstrated his keen understanding of the gravity of a confluence of complex factors within which he is commanding the prosecution of the War on Terrorism. At a White House prime-time press conference, the president reiterated his determination and firm commitment to take the war to the terrorists on a number of key fronts, simultaneously.>>> Amazing to me how people rise to the occasion- The First Congress did it, Abe Lincoln did it, Winston Churchill did it( when there was no hope whatever), Joe Montana, Tiger Woods. This is a situation where an elderly, dyed in the wool politician would have great difficulties choosing the right course when viewing the wide open nature of the new associations required. Yet we have a young vigorous experienced businessman who can set a proper course when old political agreements between nations( Russia and the US), and agencies( FBI and CIA) must be set aside to implement new useful strategies. << By freezing Taliban and Al Qaeda financial assets – some $24 million thus far – the U.S. and its allies are beginning to put the squeeze on the ability of these murderous enterprises to conduct their evil deeds.>>> That does not seem like much, but many rich people I've known are real tightwads ( which is how they got rich in the first place) and it would pain the Bin Laden mightily to lose only 1/10 th what he is worth. Whats even worse, which person, organization, or country will now be bold or stupid enough to send any "contributions" after seeing what is now happening in Afghanistan and when even the most secret Swiss accounts are being monitored.? >>> On both the diplomatic and law enforcement fronts, the U.S. is engaged in fruitful efforts to seek out and apprehend terrorists across the globe, with scores of arrests by governments in every corner of the world. In issuing a Most Wanted Terrorists list, the spotlight is now being placed on the very worst leaders and perpetrators of terrorist activities, with the added assistance of the Fox television show America’s Most Wanted, hosted by John Walsh, in a special to air Friday evening. The program has a worldwide audience. Domestically, earlier this week the president presided over the swearing-in of Tom Ridge, by Justice Clarence Thomas, as director of the newly created Office of Homeland Security, whose charge is to coordinate and unify some 40 agencies of the federal government with the activities of some 18,000 state and local law enforcement departments. The Senate last night passed legislation to address both air travel safety and amendments to U.S. law to enable more effective surveillance and pursuit of suspected terrorists here at home. The first bill would allow qualified commercial pilots to carry pistols and requires reinforcement of cockpit doors. >>> As on an old British sailing vessel, sometimes a man on the spot has to act as God. The pilot is responsible for all on board when in the air, needs some forceful means to handle rebellious or terrorist passengers who endanger others aboard. . << The second provides for roving tracking of an individual rather than a specific telephone line, and also would provide additional tools to federal law enforcement officers as requested by Attorney General John Ashcroft some weeks ago. As commander in chief, President Bush is firm in his belief that a full onslaught is the only effective means to achieve his stated goals of bringing the Butcher bin Laden and his Taliban hosts to justice. Unlike his predecessor, this president is committed to using the maximum force necessary from the full range of the U.S. arsenal of assets, giving the military the ability to accomplish its task without pulling political punches. Not only will such a decisive approach help ensure victory in this battle, it has already sent a crystal clear message to other governments with either a history or propensity to finance, support and harbor terrorists: Change your ways or let Afghanistan’s fate be your own.>>> Trust me, GWB is reeeeeaaaaaaaallly serious and will do exactly as he stated. If Maine decides to harbour a terrorist, watch out. If an airplane flies into a restricted area and wont turn away, POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF. << It is both refreshing and reassuring to have a leader with the right stuff in these tough times, which is why George W. Bush is a president who has faced the deadly challenge that caused the cold-blooded murder of 6,000 innocents on September 11 and met it square in the eye with intelligence, common sense, and steely resolve.>> Theres a lot changes to learn here, including in our courts of law. Old time judges may be appointed for life. but if they release a possible terrorist caught with an arsenal in the basement merely because somebody did not read him his rights, there will be H%ll to pay, and it may be considered a Treasonable act (BWDIK) HDL is a lawyer, not me.

Leigh, Hi!! RE: The Right Stuff in Tough Times Dan Frisa Friday, Oct. 12, 2001 President George W. Bush last night once again clearly demonstrated his keen understanding of the gravity of a confluence of complex factors within which he is commanding the prosecution of the War on Terrorism. At a White House prime-time press conference, the president reiterated his determination and firm commitment to take the war to the terrorists on a number of key fronts, simultaneously. Agree....Hope Americans will remember that this operation will be a hide and seek...Hunt to kill situation that will occur over a long time...Unfortunately, the papers here are still reminding us of what just occurred...The obituaries are so depressing when you read who they left behind...Many in this area won't forget soon...Leigh, it's no secret that the area here is predominantly a Liberal community...Most of my closest friends and I "fight" constantly about the affairs of politics from both sides...In the past we have had some wonderful times poking fun at each others "candidates"... :o) No one here has a party anymore...Kids have no qualms about what is at hand here...Their understanding is candidly displayed...Even though 14-18 they know it's them or us...Yeah, I love the leadership of what GWBush has put together to date...Hopefully we'll all remain unified until these fanatics are destroyed...Life is so precious and freedom even more...Now that we know it's threatened... Best, Kemble
