Congress *and* Senate demand combat troops out of Iraq in 12 months

So your saying Bush should not have shot down the planes?

I wasn't in his shoes...how was he supposed to know the final result...yeah yeah 240 I hear you "oh he knew, hell he planned it"

LOL, I just do that to 240 because he thinks that Bush should have shot down the planes. I don't have a problem in the fact that he didn't. What if those planes could have been talked down, or if someone had retaken the hijackers and landed the plane safely. NO PRESIDENT has ever had to order a plane shot down on US soil, so we can say all day that we would have shot them down, but until in that position it is all just opinion.

That does not compute.  Actually I do have a sense of humor.  I know what you're doing and I do enjoy your posts.

Is Ribo mormon?? that would explain alot...

Before I moved out here to be with my now-wife, I assumed everyone in SLC was Mormon too. 

No, I'm Jewish - in the ethnic, not the religious sense.

But what would my being Mormon explain? They've been the die-hardest Bush supporters of all. But even they're fed up with him now.

No I know, my family is in Utah near Ogden. I was staioned at Hill for 3 years so I know that not everyone is mormon...but you have to admit that is a weird religion in ways. I married into a mormon family (my wife excluded) adn plan on retiring near Brigham City probably. SLC is one of the nicest cities in the country.

What makes you think I would be the least inclined to defend it from the standard charge of "You've got to be kidding?" 

I give them credit for running a clean and prosperous (if culturally stagnant) city - but their spiritual beliefs are batshit insane.

To say the least..but they do good work.

it's protocol to take down planes if they pose a threat to buildings.

It was reasonable to say that planes #3 and #4 were threats after 1 and 2 hit.

Come on dude.  Presidents are paid to make these tough decisions.

Yeah I looked into the religion alot while there because I was tired of hearing about it without being able to debat it. Like where this whole no caffeine thing came from, and how they thought blacks wore the mark of the devil until BYU could no longer compete and all of a sudden the football team is full of them! or how they tried to make it illegal to cuss or smoke etc. in temple square
