Fess up! Name one of the 'lessons of 911' that you keep forgetting

[KurtNYC]

It may seem ironic that I can name lessons which I don't remember but as we all know:

1) 911 changed everything!

Here are some more lessons that I can't seem to make stick in my head:

2) Sitting stunned in a classroom in Florida, then disappearing to Nebraska shows NOT the lack of leadership but in fact, unquestionable leadership.

3) No "silver bullet" could have prevented 911 (although 19 silver bullets might have).

4) You can't distinguish between Saddam Hussein and that other guy when you talk about the war on terror.

5) Up is down, wrong is right, light is dark, less government = bigger government, ....

6) "Stay the course" means give up on hunting for bin Laden, and hang out during a civil war in Iraq instead.

6a) It is NOT a civil war between Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq -- it is still, and will ever be, only the BRINK of civil war.

and a more recent lesson:

7) Osama = Saddam = Hitler = Lenin = american Civil War draft resisters (on the Union side)

See? Some of them are very tricky. Have I forgotten any others?

4. I learned that because we had a Republican Prez, nobody would be held resp

responsible for 9/11. I learned if it had been Gore, he would have been impeached - leaving the Republican Joe Loserman as President.

7. If a Shiite and Sunni go after each other, they're really attacking us

Even though the biggest problem in Iraq is the unleashing of long, historical tribal divisions, they're really going after us when they kill each other.

At least that's how I interpret why we're therein the Post 9-11 101 textbook.. :eyes:
