I just returned from my grandmothers funeral who passed away in Michigan Tuesday morning shortly before the attacks on America - hence my belated response to the thread.
I made some comments on Tuesday I feel deep regret for, there's no excuse but as an explanation I will say that during my outrage at the attack on the WTC and the Pentagon I saw the speeches by GWB and Tony Blair.
Mr Blairs speech was stirring and heartfelt while Mr Bush's speech was IMO lacking by comparison, my time in the military ingrained in me that you don't disappear in times of need and I wrongfully felt the US was being abandoned when it needed the presence of a strong leader.
I now realize that the Secret Service acted in the countrys best interests by moving GWB to a safe and undisclosed location and that prudence dictated he go along with those plans regardless of his own desires.
This will be my final post using the handle 'Jihad' and I will not play under it due to the connection it has to terrorist entities.
I assure you when I adopted the handle it was with no malice or relationship to any terrorist organization, some players already know what my reasoning was and I won't go into it.
Please accept my regret and apology for the comments I made, even though some responses were as much out of line as my own I won't respond to the personal attacks made as I deserved to be flamed for being an ass.
