    Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, shown Dec. 23, 1998, warned three weeks ago that he and his followers would carry out an unprecedented attack on U.S. interests for its support of Israel, an Arab journalist with access to him said September 11, 2001. The editor of London-based al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper said Islamic fundamentalists led by bin Laden were 'almost certainly' behind the attack of the World Trade Center in New York.

    i'm disgusted and scared. were all f ucked. this is just the start.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    its insane... i just got back from USA a couple of days ago myself. One of the planes hijacked was from Newark to San Francisco i think it was... the exact flight my brother took last friday.. :eek:

    one of my bro's best friends whom I know very well because he came to stay with us in ireland for a few weeks is an accountant who was working in the World Trade center building, but on a lower floor, so i'm hoping hes ok but theres no communication from ordinary people in NY.

    think like... there were more ppl in those 2 buildings than there are in Galway City

    I have many coworker's who are from America and the whole
    company stood still.
    The little son of a secretary called, they have friends who work in the wordtradecenter,
    he was yelling so loud that the whole office could hear his words -"They are jumping... They are jumping out of the window's"-

    I just want to know why difficulties between some "groups" always are fought with the blood of innocents?!

    No. This is it. Nostradamus' prediction is coming true. WWIII is gonna start and the whole world will bew destroyed(probably by a doomsday device).:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Well what a nice subject to learn about after school. I didnt believe it at first. My mother and sister were in new york luckily the car broke down before they reached manhatten.


    It is a disaster, the biggest attack on US soil since Pearl harbour. Clearly its going to control American public views for the next decade. If we last that long. All sense and rationality has gone out the window i see a very big counter attack, also there goes the arabs chance of even seeing a chance of peace in middle east. IT is going to be a very dark time for the next 5 years. I pray not just for the saftey of inocent life but also for the mind of politicions that we dont all go to war, or worse.



    p.s The attack is Michaels Collins attack strategy taken to the extreme.

    Underneath that thin veneer of civilisation we are all still animals.

    And just like animals will attack members of the same species.

    Bigger brains and thumbs or no......we have an appetite to kill members of our species thats programmed into us long before we found what we call today being civilised.

    There has always been wars and suffering around the globe at any given time. Today is no different just more publicised then other parts of the world.

    While all normal people feel empathy with those that we see suffer.

    We all thank our own Gods that it is not us that suffer.

    May they all find peace................

    terrible tragedy

    But there is no need for sweeping statements like" nuke the ..."
    I just hope that some shred of reasoning and moderation will prevail and that people shouting nuke/kill etc. will not win any ground. Retalliation of the US is, however, likely given Bush's prepensity to aggressive and threatening behaviour. One can only hope that nobody else is drawn into it, apart from the current lack of a physical target (which is just as well).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Belisarius


    As someone said , Its like something out of a Tom Clancy novel :/ , I mean the carnage in the US is just unreal , I mean obviously theyre have been previous bombings ,but Nothing since Oklahoma has even come close to the feeling ppl are feeling now ...the whole scope of it hasnt set in yet ,I mean 10000? causualties its been put at ...the mind boggles however It does have two immediate implications from an Irish Perspective

    A:The world economy is now , I mean the price of oil is something like 30 dollars a barrel now , And when it does all go to ****e ,well be hit hard
    B:This is VERY bad timing for the Shinners, The Farc thing just behind them , Gerry adams on a Visit to Cuba and scheduled for a visit to the US in a week , it could well mark a very sour turn in Relations between SinnFein and the US , the Farc collusion going a long way for tarring us with the same brush as the Middle Eastern groups :/


    To surmise though ,its going to be a very Dramatic week or so , with alot of Change in US foriegn policy , much like when the first Terrorist attacks on the US a decade ago , and yet much worse I suspect

    I am a cretin. Please disregard anything I say as the ramblings of a single-celled organism. Dense, ignorant, and moronic do not do justice as a description of me.

    Bush will now come under tremendous pressure to retaliate using any means possible. Given Bush's... less than tactful or deferential foreign relations he will be much more likely to heed calls in his own country to launch military operations against the perpetrators than those from other countries that will encourage restraint.

    It now looks likely that a Palestinian terrorist group was responsible for this act. (I say likely because Osama Bin Laden was warning that something like this would happen). If that is the case, it may give Israel US licence to pursue it's agression in Palestinian areas such as the Gaza strip.

    The level of organisation and co-operation was indeed impressive, and highlights the level of fanaticism and determination of terrorist groups. It demonstrates that whatever one's beliefs or doctrines, they are never safe from bloody attack.

    I don't think people realise the feelings here at the moment in the US. Nearly everyone is completly polorised by this incident.

    Even people who preached peace are now saying there should be action.

    If any country had admitted to this today, you could take a good bet that it would be knocked back into the stone age before the end of the week.

    The problem is that there is a lot of anger and no one knows where to direct it except what where they are being told. No know knows 100% who did it, but if the TV says Bin Laden did it, I would recommend Muslims avoid people until they have cooled down.
