lil ritchi, you just never learn do you? Why do you keep following me and posting insults to me. Do you enjoy getting you ass kicked over and over and over.... You said ....." In the days following 9/11, I was condemned as being pro-Islam and pro-terrorists and anti-America for proposing the delegitimization of the militants' cause. Now Colin Powell and even Bush are seemingly pro-Moslem. And yet no one is screaming, screeching and yelling foul. What happened? Is it because folks (except for some Darrens and sheep farmers??????) are now wiser and are now agreeing, albeit reluctantly, with the Prez and Colin Powell? "...... Well lil ritchi here is an example of what you really said on Tuesday, Sep 11, 2001 10:31 PM. ...." Trouble is that after the end of the Cold War, the US relaxed its watchfulness. It is laughable to say that the US believe that other people respect the sacredness of life as much as we do. Surely the experiences of America in WWII, Vietnam and Korea and Bosnia will have convinced every one of us that that is not true." Message 16335555 Somebody on TV tonight reiterated my viewpoint that America has been overly complacent, and the price of that was a big kick in the butt"..... The only thing you have correct is...." Now Colin Powell and even Bush are seemingly pro-Moslem. "....... Yes lil "seemingly"..... now you try real hard and see if you can come up with a reason why Powell and Bush would seem to support moslems. You know lil, you and people like you are islam terrorist tools. Many people like you are politicians and end up in positions where they have the power to get laws passed that have helped terrorists get into our country. Tell me something lil,have you ever tried to use common sense to determine right from wrong? Try a real basic question...is murder ever ok?

lil ritchi...here is a reply from another poster that was angered by your heartless post on Sept 11...and there were many angered by your posts. ---------------------------------------- " You are nothing more than another anonymous foreigner who wants to live close, and suck off the American business tit, prosperity and industry of this great land. Take your cowardly postings today and go walk into an buzzsaw. You're some piece of Canadian work, and you have earned our collective contempt. And if I ever meet you face to face, it will be the last time you lip off to an American, especially on this day of horrendous grief and mourning you cocky piece of humanity. And to think that you look like an American and parade around the world benefitting from our esteemed place in the global community. When "they" come to get you up there in your smug Canadian adopted homeland, none of us on GPM will come to lift a finger. Get a soul transplant! " Message 16335792

lil ritchi...and here is just part of the horrendous events of Sept.11 that you and your kind made fun of. ----------------------------------------------------- DAY OF INFAMY 2001 Terrorists slit throats of 2 AA stewardesses Flight attendants 'were trying to stop them from getting inside the cockpit' By Paul Sperry © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON – Terrorists who hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston on Tuesday morning slit the throats of two female flight attendants who tried to bar them from entering the cockpit, an American Airlines employee told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview. The terrorists then forced their way into the locked cockpit and commandeered the Boeing 767 to New York, where they slammed it into one of the World Trade Center towers. The flight, carrying 81 passengers, was bound for Los Angeles. A third stewardess aboard the nine-crew flight – Madeline Amy Sweeney – used her cellphone, or possibly the plane phone, to alert Michael Woodward, her superviser back at Logan International Airport, about the hijacking and murders. The terrorists were armed with razor-tipped knives that looked like box cutters, she relayed. "That was just horrific to all of us when we heard about it at about 8:15" yesterday morning, said the senior American Airlines employee, who works at Logan and said goodbye to the crew at the gate around 7:30 a.m. "We were, like, 'Oh my God, these poor girls are trying to save their captain and their plane.'" The plane left the gate at about 7:45 a.m. and took off at about 7:55 a.m. Sweeney made her call around 8:10 a.m. or 8:15 a.m., the source says. At about 8:25 a.m., the jet turned sharply off its planned westbound flight path and headed south toward Manhattan. The jet crashed into the north World Trade Center tower at about 8:45 a.m. About 15 minutes later, a United Airlines jet sliced through the south tower. According to the American source, the American captain, John Ogonowski, managed to key the cockpit mike, apparently without the terrorists knowing, allowing air-traffic controllers to briefly pick up their cockpit conversations. The terrorists turned off the plane's transponder, the equipment that identifies the plane and provides other information – such as whether it's been hijacked – to air-traffic controllers tracking it by radar. Ogonowski flew the plane with his first officer, Tom McGuinness. "They were trying to clue in the tower," the airline source said. The crew was very close, having flown the Boston-Los Angeles run together regularly, the source said. "This was a senior crew," she said. "They've been around. A lot of them usually do that flight – go out on Flight 11 and come back on Flight 12 [from Los Angeles]. We all knew them really well." In fact, a couple of the stewardesses were married to American gate agents at Logan, she says. "You know, I said goodbye to that crew at the gate," the American employee said. "I was up there talking to the girls who were doing the flight, and the crew walks by and gives us all a wave. They said, 'See you later, we're coming back on [Flight] 12.'" "Everyone was just stunned," she said, when they learned some 90 minutes later of their ultimate fate in Manhattan. As part of their investigation, FBI agents and Massachusetts state troopers have interviewed American Airlines employees and Logan airport workers, including custodians working the morning shift, to rule out an inside job and establish a record of all the people who were at the terminal that morning. "It was pretty intense," said the American worker. worldnetdaily.com
