Stu Bykofsky Wants 3,000 More Dead Innocent Americans.
Stu Bykofsky is a fucking idiot.
ONE MONTH from The Anniversary, I’m thinking another 9/11 would help America.
What kind of a sick bastard would write such a thing?
A bastard so sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq - that we have forgotten who the enemy is.
It is not Bush and it is not Hillary and it is not Daily Kos or Bill O’Reilly or Giuliani or Barack. It is global terrorists who use Islam to justify their hideous sins, including blowing up women and children.
Iraq has fractured the U.S. into jigsaw pieces of competing interests that encourage our enemies. We are deeply divided and division is weakness.
Most Americans today believe Iraq was a mistake. Why?
Not because Americans are “anti-war.”
Americans have turned their backs because the war has dragged on too long and we don’t have the patience for a long slog. We’ve been in Iraq for four years, but to some it seems like a century. In contrast, Britain just pulled its soldiers out of Northern Ireland where they had been, often being shot at, almost 40 years.
That’s not the American way.
In Iraq, we don’t believe our military is being beaten on the battleground. It’s more that there is no formal “battleground.” There is the drip of daily casualties and victory is not around the corner. Americans are impatient. We like fast food and fast war.
Americans loved the 1991 Gulf War. It raged for just 100 hours when George H.W. Bush ended it with a declaration of victory. He sent a half-million troops into harm’s way and we suffered fewer than 300 deaths.
America likes wars shorter than the World Series.
Bush I did everything right, Bush II did everything wrong - but he did it with the backing of Congress.
Because the war has been a botch so far, Democrats and Republicans are attacking one another, when they aren’t attacking themselves. The dialog of discord echoes across America.
Turn back to 9/11.
Remember the community of outrage and national resolve? America had not been so united since the first Day of Infamy - 12/7/41.
We knew who the enemy was then.
We knew who the enemy was shortly after 9/11.
Because we have mislaid 9/11, we have endless sideshow squabbles about whether the surge is working, if we are “safer” now, whether the FBI should listen in on foreign phone calls, whether cops should detain odd-acting “flying imams,” whether those plotting alleged attacks on Fort Dix or Kennedy airport are serious threats or amateur bumblers. We bicker over the trees while the forest is ablaze.
America’s fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.
What would sew us back together?
Another 9/11 attack.
The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.
Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?
If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America’s righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail.
The unity brought by such an attack sadly won’t last forever.
The first 9/11 proved that. *
Fuck you Stu. Fuck you, you stupid fucking asshole. You ignorant slut.
The “unity” you speak of was taken advantage of by a cabal of political radicals determined to sweep everything up. There’s more than enough evidence the cabal let the 9/11 attacks happen. The very people who manipulated the country into Iraq are the very people who are pulling America “apart like a cheap sweater”. And your answer? “It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America’s righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail.” Precious, Stu. I’m sure whatever relatives you had who died in the Holocaust are applauding you today.
You filthy bastard. You cheap suit clacking away with your false teeth on the typewriter imaging you’re some kind of Walter Winchell. You’re not: you’re a burnt out hack at a burnt out hack paper in a burnt out hack city.
My son’s mother was evacuated from the World Trade Center.
My best friend’s brother saw the planes hit the Towers and ran north until he couldn’t stop: he called his wife throughout the day but couldn’t get through because the cell towers on top of the Trade Center were knocked out in the collapse. When he finally reached her, she was in hysterics because she thought he was dead.
“What would sew us back together?
Another 9/11 attack.”
You emptyheaded stooge of bin Laden, openly calling for the deaths of more Americans. My god Bykofsky, when did you embrace Dolchstoßlegende and become little more than the Daily News’ resident Nazi?
“Because the war has been a botch so far, Democrats and Republicans are attacking one another…”
Note to Stu: that’s the way politics work. The parties have what are called “different views” on things, and clash is not only expected, it’s HEALTHY. That’s the NATURE OF DEMOCRACY.
You are a vile, loathesome human being Stu Bykofsky, and if there IS another 9/11, I hope it is YOUR loved ones who perish in the flames.

Wow, Brendan…just wow. This is why I make it a point to read you every day. You’re as angry as I am, but infinitely more articulate. Remind me to never piss you off!
