I was just amazed when our troops were killed and 3 taken hostage and all I could get on the news was the "Paris Hilton" report!!! I am ashamed of the news networks for their coverage of this story. Is this a reflection of the American values? Do so many people (and the news networks) not appreciate the sacrifice that our young men and their families are making over seas? If you do not agree with the war, do you not care about your fellow country men? If so , our country is no better than Iraq.

The inevitable response to this will be:

"Oh yes but you can always carry your lottery ticket with you and it doesn't get tired - a child is not so easy. Yeah maybe so, but even if I did leave it behind, i would probably make sure it was locked away so no one could get at it - wouldn't you? I think they didn't fulfill their duty of care for this child.

If it had been two unemployed parents whose child that had been abducted in East London, while they had popped over the road for something to eat and drink and she had been returned by now, do you think social services would open an investigation and then take their other kids into care while they determined if they were responsible enough to care for a child? I think they would. But will anything similar happen to the McCanns?

There supposed to give a middle of the road reporting of the news. All the fake arguments and taking sides is just to much. The good cop bad cop routine is as stupid as news gets.

Wierd facts about 9/11


1) New York City has 11 letters



2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.



3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.



4) George W Bush has 11 letters.



5) The two twin towers make an "11"



This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:




1) New York is the 11th state.



2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number

11.



3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11



4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.

6+5 = 11



5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11



6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.

9 + 1 + 1 = 11.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.

Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.



4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers

incident.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
Now this is where things get totally eerie:



The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic



holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."



That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.



Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:


Open Microsoft Word or notepad and do the following(TRY THIS FOR REAL)



1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first

plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.



2. Highlight the Q33 NY



3. Change the font size to 48.



4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1

hello all! let me start by saying that I'm proud to live here, in Israel! The problem is I think we suffered enough!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
the hamas has one of our soldiers, the hizbullah has two of others.
Every single day they are sending bombs from Gaza to Sderot...

If (for example) Mexico will decide to send a kassam rocket on Us... do you really think there will be something left from it? NO
do you think that France or Italy or Britain or any normal country would sit and do nothing while TERRORIST attacking it's country? NO
but when Israel is responding, then the whole world starts to scream... and why? because we're defending ourselves?

Erevryone is telling me to but how can I??? I've stopped watching news and decided no to go on YahooAnswers until she is found... But then I get emails about her about so I decided to stop using Internet... Then I got texts about her so I decided to switch off my mobile... Then I got post and there was a letter for the Madeline fund!!! How will a fund help her??? I decided that I am spending too much time so I went outside and there I saw... Posters of Madeline!!! How will posters in her in London help her???

How can I stay away from the story??? I think if I spend time in my bedroom, there will probably be people screaming "HELP MADELINE!!! HELP FIND MADELINE!!!" and I would hear them in my bedroom...

Guess what, there was no 9/11 conspiracy. The twin towers did not melt but metal weakens at 400 F. Implosions have to start from the bottom, twin towers from the top. The war in Iraq was a victory and Afghanistan. Wake up people, the US is the only country on earth willing to stick out its neck and doing what is right rather then what is popular. I think the US has gone nuts and Bush and the gang are the only sane ones left. No imperialism, not for oil, no 9/11 conspiracy. Just the US trying to rid the world of extremists who threaten the free world. Think about it logically. The internet has swayed people to somehow blame the US for 9/11, make people believe Iraq is a failure. Anyone ever study war? We lost many more people in on battle in other wars then we have lost total in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over years. It is the conspiracy nuts that have done the brain washing, making millions off of books, TV and internet making up myths you fools believe. Believein theUS
