Last time I heard, some fella named Osama had something to do with it.

And I am sure that radical islamics have nothing to do with war in iraq. Those self proclaimed Al Qaeda people in Iraq probably lying anyways.

Now back to the subject. I don't think it is to soon to make the movie, but not sure yet if too soon for me to see it. That day is still vivid in my memory, probably always will be.

As a card carrying member of the hand wringing left I will go see it. I'll probably tear up and then I'll stand and yell out in the theater that we need to get out there and kill Osama Bin Hussein!!

One aspect of having a base of operations in Osamas backyard is the fact that it has to do with a nation who is willing to work with terrorist, but lets not cloud this thread with facts and data that you'll deny happened, we've already discussed it on this BBS and you chose to hide your head in the sand.

Osama bin Laden Contact With Iraq"

A newly released prewar Iraqi document indicates that an official representative of Saddam Hussein's government met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan on February 19, 1995, after receiving approval from Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden asked that Iraq broadcast the lectures of Suleiman al Ouda, a radical Saudi preacher, and suggested "carrying out joint operations against foreign forces" in Saudi Arabia. According to the document, Saddam's presidency was informed of the details of the meeting on March 4, 1995, and Saddam agreed to dedicate a program for them on the radio. The document states that further "development of the relationship and cooperation between the two parties to be left according to what's open [in the future] based on dialogue and agreement on other ways of cooperation." The Sudanese were informed about the agreement to dedicate the program on the radio.

The report then states that "Saudi opposition figure" bin Laden had to leave Sudan in July 1996 after it was accused of harboring terrorists. It says information indicated he was in Afghanistan. "The relationship with him is still through the Sudanese. We're currently working on activating this relationship through a new channel in light of his current location," it states.

FWIW, the full documents can be found on the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Office Web site.

I unfortunately cannot forget. I brought my wife and then newborn son home from the hospital on Tuesday, Sept. 11th (most don't even recall the day themselves). Instead of holding him (He was born of a Caesarian on the 8th) and exclaiming "Son, there is a whole world out there for you". I, instead silently stood at the Hospital entrance holding Ian: "Son, the world will never be the same again."

Also, if that isn't enough, my cousin was in the Wing of the Pentagon that was hit. She was one of the few who still occupied offices while the renevation was underway. It took us two days to find out if she was still alive. She had to enlist the help of a Marine to retrieve her purse. He obliged, not even caring of the possible "Courts Martial" that could follow if they were caught.

I'm sorry, but I will not be watching this movie. I live it daily. I don't approve of the movie, this is my opinion as a Citizen of the United States of America, who is posting in a Private Forum.

It's worth noting that the US government used an extensive propaganda program to keep people focused on the war.

The Media was a bit more helpful back then too though.

Maybe cause a Democrat was in office? LOL

As for the movie.

The Families of those who dies on Flight 93 thought the story should be told.

So long as they are ok with it. So am I

The only problem I have with it is that it is simply for the profit of the movie company.

I find it shamefull that this tragic moment in out history will be used for finacial gain that will not be seen by the victims families.

This subject should IMHO never be used for entertainment and thats what movies are BTW.

Now if 90% of the procedes went to the victims families that might be another story but as it is all its doing is filling the bank accounts of the movie studio.

As far as never forgeting!! I doubt any American will ever forget that day we dont need a movie to remind us.

So NO i will not see it EVER.
