Just got this from CNN:Latest Developments President Bush asks Congress on Wednesday for emergency funding to aid rescue and relief efforts and calls attacks "acts of war." NATO is meeting to discuss invoking Article Five of its charter which would give a green light to the United States to retaliate once it determines who is responsible for Tuesday's attack and expediate assistance from other NATO members. New York rescuers are searching for two other people who have been in contact with authorities; two other police officers were rescued Tuesday night. Fire still smolders at the Pentagon, although the fire was under control by Wednesday morning. As many as 800 people there are still unaccounted for, but half of the building was to open on Wednesday. As many as 300 firefighters and at least 33 police officers are believed to be dead. Boston Herald reports that authorities seized a car at Logan Airport in Boston containing "suspicious materials," including Arabic language flight manuals. FBI spokeswoman would not confirm or deny that report. Canadian aviation authorities said that three unidentified planes spotted flying over western Canada were carrying out humanitarian missions. Pentagon announces: Military jets will be seen in skies over New York and Washington for the next several days.

I agree with LTS....it's time to quit asking for permission and take matters into our own hands.......Payback is a MF...

.....and he also said "We will go after those individuals responsible"Roosevelt did not say we would go after the Japanese Pilots that dropped the bombs on Pearl Harbor. He declared WAR on Japan.We will never solve this by going after "Individuals"Attacking the "Beast" one appendage at time will not get the job done. We have to cut off the head of the "Beast"

Who is NATO? Who is UN? to give US any permission to do anything????? Screw that! I agree with admin. I don't think this could have been done without backing from Sadam.

Get PERMISSION from the UN. It is to laugh!!!Fine, if we want to go through the motions of getting said "permission" fine. If we get it, OK, we go destroy the bastards. If we DON'T get it, OK, we go destroy the bastards. Works out either way for me.Mudge

Liketoshoot...We don't or never have had the need to receive their permission to attack. It's just really nice to know that a couple of countrys with truly tremendous HUMINT capabilities(France, England and Turkey) are willing to come down on our side And assist us. Our HUMINT sucks..we may have the best SIGINT in the world but getting inside those bad guys requires some assistance from our allies. And it's really nice to know they aren't going to wash their hands and have us go it alone. NATO is not the UN and never has been. Don't make the mistake of equating them with the "blue berets" our NATO allies can be tough as nails when they need to be. I saw German and English tanks next to ours facing the Fulda Gap for years.
