But really? 10 years? That's like being excited by passing the MCATs
on your 10th try. Isn't it?

I'm just saying that with all of the American might behind this effort, it should have been done so much sooner.

10. It's not about Obama.
(and is there such a medication?) I'm just saying that 10 years is a helluva long time to complete such a mission.

for him.

17. Did I ever tell you the principal I was working for in 2001 taped up all the windows
in the school? Duct tape and plastic everywhere. It was September and we had no a/c.

Freakin idiot.

19. It was 2001. Laws were suspended.
As well as common sense.

3. I will never forget the way I felt that morning as events unfolded.
I will never forget the days afterward, as more information on who was responsible came out. 10 years, 20 years...it would still be celebrated by me.

14. yeah, like some things from 4-5 years ago can seem far, but that moment
still seems close. certain things just stick out and i guess it will never feel "long time ago" to me.

5. it wouldn't have taken this long if Bush wasn't in office, and we STILL wouldn't have got him
if McCain had been elected.

6. That's your thought tonight?
You are a person incapable of embarrassment, apparently.

15. Actually I'm capable of multiple thoughts per day, unbelievably enough
and yes, that is one of them. No apologies whatsoever. Neither embarrassment, except for people who never question anything.

7. On days like this, it really becomes easy to separate
the trolls from the authentics.

12. WTF are you calling the OP a troll?
She's right. It shouldn't have taken ten years. He should have been caught in Tora Bora and if not there, before this. BushCo knew they all ran to ground in Pakistan.

16. Thank you. There was no trolling intent, it was a gut reaction
I'm so sorry if some people can't understand the logic of it. But thanks for your support, I appreciate it.

8. Well, ah, things take time!
Even when you spend billions and trillions on the best of everything, you know.

No sense in being impatient when it is clear that time is an issue here. Now some things can take forever, I know, and that is hard to be patient about. The war on "tear are" is going to be forever and so, we will be spending everything we can on that indefinitely. Rather than wait, just forget about it. No sense in waiting for the end of something that has none.

Go MIC! I have my bets on it! Now if you excuse me, I have some poverty to take care of.
