Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Afghanistan being attacked

Right now they are are showing Afghanistan being bombed and they think it is us...Could it be us?..Would Bush attack without telling us? Could he have found out something and took emediate action?
This is crazy!!!!
Please give me some feedback.
Lisa

My husband thinks whoever did this to us is doing it to Afghanistan to make it look like us.
The Prime Minister just came on and said that they stand shoulder to shoulder with the US and a terroist attack on us is like an attack on them.
Everything is getting crazier and crazier and scarier.

Wild midnight guess - perhaps it's the same terrorist movement trying to make it look like America's actions, thereby lending weight to the widely held view in the Middle East of America as the evil oppressor.

Sick I know, but I wouldn't put anything AT ALL past the people responsible for what happened today.

Cheers,

I suppose its possible that Bush ordered this, if there was enough evidence that it was in fact Bin Laden, and they knew exactly where he was, but I dought it, this soon.

Could be the Afgan government bombing Bin Laden's complex trying to avoid any retallation from the US.

I guess we will have to wait an see.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victoms and their families.

This horrendous thing will drastacly change the entire planet, our lives, business, and global relations. It is a dastardus thing that will effect the lives of millions of people. I pray that our world leaders have the wisdom to determine the correct action, and responed swiftly to this most cowardly act.

As Allways, Stay Well, and Keep the People of NY and WA in Your Prayers.

Lisa,
By now we know it is part of the continuing civil war there...not us.

May God watch over all those victims still to be found.........hopefully in time....

Dear lisa:

We already have much unfinished business with Osama Bin Laden and his Afghani support networks (including al Qaeda), and were just about ready to strike--without any immediate provocation, as a preemptive measure (too late now).

The answer to your question is...No, Bush would not tell "us" we are attacking them because us includes them, and surprise is the greatest weapon any army has.

If we were smarter, we would call in Israel's debt and have them do our work for us--they caused the problem in the first place by bribing our politicians with the aid money that we provide them--billions per year to their fascist state, only hundreds of millions come back in the form of APAC monies to buy support from both Democrats and Republicans and ensure that our money (and ARMS) keep coming. And they loan much of the rest back to us--with interest! Most Israelis think of New York and Washington DC as suburbs of Tel Aviv--puppets would be more proper!

Of course the congressmen and women will be blaming everyone but themselves, and more than a few boeings might come home to roost before we are held accountable for our own actions. I'm saddened, but not surprised, and believe that this is just a warning shot across our bow.

Everything in the news will have any truth edited out to make our side look as much like the good guys as possible--and although we have actually had good and proper intentions, too often our resources have been mis-directed with absolutely disastrous consequences.

Yes, I agree. I know the US is a strong country, but I don't think the people can take much more...today was enough!
A friend of mine just called and said "you know, we could have thousands of terrorist hanging out throughout the country just waiting to do more" I told her not to think like that, just to continue to pray for peace, and the people that were effected by these terrible events. I wonder how many people will be able to sleep soundly tonight. I doubt I will, I just can't stop feeling how those people on the planes must have felt..the terror, and all the families that are grieving and searching for thier family members and friends. So sad!
Take Care Linda,

I would hope that everyone learned their lesson after the Oklahoma City bombing...it's much too early to lay blame on ANYONE for this unprecented horrible act, rather acts. Although all signs would seem to point to our nemesis in Afghanistan, the US didn't know this attack was coming, despite repeated warnings, so there's little hope that they could possibly know who might have a hand in this just yet. However, the US has disavowed responsibility for the Afghan bombings, and I am inclined to believe that. My guess is that an Afghan faction, possibly Bin Laden and his cronies, are making a simultaneous grab for power in Kabul. What better diversion than to get the eyes of the world looking upon the Taliban with a suspicious eye and then attack to gain control?

While it is as unfair of me to speculate about what's going on in Kabul, as it is to lay the blame on anyone at this point, the possibility does exist, and is not impossible. Especially considering that the Taliban is split among those who support the terrorists who have free reign in their country, and even exhert no small amount of control over the ruling Taliban, and those who are as hateful of the US as they are of the foreigners who espouse how they should practice thier religion and how they should run their country....leaves one to guess at what is happening. The people who are caught in the middle are, as usual, the average citizen of Afghanistan who just wants the Taliban to go away and let them live a normal life, especially the women. They are the most oppressed women in the world.

No matter who turns out to be responsible for the truly horrendous events of today, my heart goes out to the families of all of the people who have become innocent victims of godless people who's hearts are full of such blind hatred that they could do such a thing to other human beings. It makes me ashamed to be a human being.

My condolences to all. Darren.

Take Care...

I heard that an opposition group that we may have fund through the CIA attacked. I am sure the timing was a show of support but I am afraid we will need to do our own warfare. From what I figure there were 4 our more times more people who died today than at Pearl Harbor. We will never be the same again, and perhaps many will never feel safe again. I can only pray that any war will be limited and won't end up starting World War III in the middle East, which has already been a concern with all the spreading violence between Israel and Palestine. God help us all.

I agree it's too soon to jump and assign blame, but the evidence is beginning to mount. This attack has Osama Bin Laden's fingerprints all over it, and if the news is to be believed (I am a bit cynical there sometimes) our security agencies have interecepted two messages connecting him with this attack, referring to hitting two "targets" and two more to go. Fortunately also a heads up stewardess on a cell phone called in the seat number of one of the hijackers, which checked out to be a member of Bin Laden's group using a known alias. Now, knowing this and doing something about it are two different things, much as we want to go in, guns blazing, it is not usually our way to blindly attack, killing women and children in the process, to get the bad guy. I'm so mad I want SOMETHING done immediately if not before, but on the other hand we don't want to become as bad as the enemy we're fighting with disregard for innocent human life. Assassination of Bin Laden would not upset me at all, if the evidence against him continues to grow.
