Video: The last moments of the September 10th world

Kudos again to CNN for making its Internet video service, Pipeline, free for the day. They’ve been streaming the network’s coverage of 9/11 as it happened on Pipeline Channel 4 all morning; I’ve captured it all and will be stitching together video of the key moments for posterity. But first, here’s a four-minute edit of what they were showing that morning before the planes hit. Giuliani appears, Boeing “comes under pressure,” an expert on Colombia makes a prescient statement about the Middle East, and a whole chunk of time is devoted to the top story in New York City that day as of 8:45 a.m. Oh, and there’s also something about hurricanes; that should give the Loose Change boys, who’ve got Islamist fans in high places, an exciting opportunity to somehow bring Katrina into the conspiracy.

All in all, it looks a lot like the September 11th world. Is that a good thing? Or bad?

September 10th is alive and well as UNebraska says forget the victims– slander Bush;

STAFF EDITORIAL: Sept. 11 anniversary marks a decline of national freedom

So as this anniversary waxes and wanes in the hearts and minds of every U.S. citizen, what needs to be remembered isn’t the film footage, the excuses for war or the lives lost. [ed. naturally]

What needs to be asked is: How did we get to a time and place governed by zealots? How did we become a citizenry so easily willing to give up the rights yet so stubborn in our own personal sacrifices? How did we become a country so callous to the needs of others yet so eager to run up a war deficit?

honora is right, sadly, we’ve become a nation with many jackasses in it (not a direct quote)

CNN reveals who is responsible for the attacks on 9/11.

Asked whether they blame the Bush administration for the attacks, 45 percent said either a “great deal” or a “moderate amount,” up from 32 percent in a June 2002 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

But the Clinton administration did not get off lightly either. The latest poll, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for CNN, found that 41 percent of respondents blamed his administration a “great deal” or a “moderate amount” for the attacks.

No word on where Bin Laden and Al Queda came in at in the poll. I wonder if he feels he doesn’t get the credit he deserves and that is what makes him so mad?

FYI – FOXNEWS has been streaming their 9/11 coverage on their site today as well.

Anybody able to view Pipeline on a Mac? I’ve tried IE, Safari and Firefox.

If only that damn Supreme Court hadn’t unconstitutionally foced Bush (and that demon, Rove) on us in 2000, none of this would have happened. President Gore would still be in office today, and it would be a cleaner, greener, and safer world; Al-Qaeda would be our friends; no Katrina; Iran and N. Korea would be our allies; there would be peace in the middle east; Cindy Sheehan would be happy; we’d all be rich; and September 11 would be just another day.

I’ve been listening to the CNN Pipeline in the background, while browsing my usual blogs.Thanks for the heads up, AP. And good on CNN for the free re-broadcast.

But… just a moment ago, (around the 5:05PM mark Eastern) I heard something that reminded me of why I no longer watch cable news. Bubble headed blonde anchor, Judy blahblahblah (I can’t rewind, so I’m paraphrasing here) laments between cuts, “It’s a time when, even those Americans who don’t believe in a God, wish they could, uh, reach out out to a higher power… that they wish existed, blahblahblah…”

Sweet Christ! On this morning, of all mornings! Blondie could have gotten away with a quick and simple “God protect America in this, her hour of need,” keeping her career intact. But her PC training runs so deep she found herself apologizing to any atheist viewers for her desire to utter an on-air prayer!

Gah. It reminds me of CBS affiliates delaying Naubet documentary (which I finally watched last night. Thanks, AP) for fear they’d be fined for not bleeping out the FDNY.

Sometimes, circumstances allow for things like prayers and swears. The morning of 9/11 definately counts.

Rick,

…and we’d have great communication from the WH, instead of a “chimp” who can’t pronounce ‘nuclear’ and “misunderestimates” things, a lock box on Social Security, no recession (of course we don’t have one now, but we couldn’t imagine one either), everyone would be on welfare, our taxes would be doubled by now;

the amnesty would already be a done deal – who the H–l would need borders (that’s for the RW old-fashioned chickenshits and not for the elite ruling class), PC and the ACLU would be in the 7th layer of Nirvana, the Europeans and Rest of the World would love us, especially Messrs Chavez and Castro, the tsunami wouldn’t have happened, there wouldn’t be a President and Mrs. Bush floating wreaths in memoriam in NY, because, as you said, 9/11/01 wouldn’t have happened.

Best of all we’d be deprived of terms like Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, dhimmitude, burquas, dishdashas, islamo-fascists.

And super-best of all Mr. Lieberman would still be the angel he’s consistently been.

And super-super-best of all, the Clinton legacy would be the best of any POTUS, ever!

If only that much-beloved Sandra Day O’Connor would have kept her head clear this one time…
