Well yea. I mean I don't know about you guys, but I need some piece of metal in the middle of New York to remember all the innocent people who died on that day and many others. Of course no one would even remember that we fought in Vietnam if they didn't have the memorial. Give me a break. You don't want to memorialize those people, complaining it's taken four years to make a memorial, you want something easy and nice, some place you can take your kids on labor day. If you want to memorialize those people walk through the day thankful that you are alive and have the priveledge to experience what was so unjustly ripped away from them. We don't need a big heap of sculpture in a minimun of five years to honor those lives.

Matt,
This is keefer. The first post in this thread is a spoof of me. You can compare our IP addresses and prove it. Note the capital "K" in spoofer's name; that's the giveaway.
Getting back to the business at hand; Debra Burlingame is correct. This memorial should be at least in progress by now.
Using the Iraq model, the libs want us out of there because everything, in their world, is taking too long. Well, look at New Orleans. It's taking a long time to rebuild; maybe we should just pull out. Maybe we should withdraw, over the horizon, until this year's hurricane season is over. Then, if Gov Blanco and Schoolbus Nagin want us back, we'll go back in and rebuild.
God Bless America, President Bush, and our courageous fighting men and women. War

Matt, living in New Jersey, the best memorial I could see at ground zero would be to REBUILD THE TOWERS.

keefer, thanks for the heads up. The other Keefer will have to post with a new identity from now on.

An even better memorial would be capturing Osama Bin Laden.

How about: Where is Osama bin Laden? It's been over four years now. Oh, that's right - King George doesn't think about him anymore. And other than illegally invading & occupying Iraq, the neo-Cons are now more concerned about building a monument. How touching.

Matt,
Thanks. I had to double check several times to see if the post was from our original keefer, the small "k", or from the imposter. The tone and content of the post gave the imposter away, but it was a nuisance.

Which take longer?
Deciding on and building the memorial and replacement for the World Trade Center, or...
Rebuilding the entire country of Iraq, along with installing a new democracy, government, army, and police force.
So far, Iraq is winning the race in spite of the terrorists!

Jon and Maf, if you guys know where bin laden is, let us know.

How about: Where is Osama bin Laden?:
Not a bad idea! We could build a huge maze. Visitors could dress up as a cowboy and cut brush as they negotiate the labyrinth. Hidden somewhere would be an effigy of Osama. The first person to find him could be on the Bill O'Reilly show with Ann Coulter.

Jon, Maf and Ash,
If you guys know where bin laden is, let us know. Chances are he is at dnc headquarters running things over there.

AAR,
you call an ongoing civil war that the administration is ignoring some sort of positive?
Mistake after mistake after mistake, I would argue that the policy of nation building was lost on these fools, someone go dig up Marshall and get his ass over there!

I'd put three giant monkeys labelled "Bush: See Evil, Hayden: Hear Evil, Rumsfeld: Speak Evil" while behind them a plane flies by unnoticed.
My heart hurts when I think about Hayden decifering "tomorrow is zero hour" a day too late... could'a would'a should'a... never mind. According to Homeland Security there are no noteworthy landmarks in all of New York City anyway. Why start building one now? Aren't they all just a bunch of "lefties" who keep irrationally demanding a full investigation of Building 7?
