Great post TSgt,
In 1993 the Twin Towers was hit by a simular action. 1998 Embassy bombings were simular too. The 1983 Marine Barrack truck bomb is another example.
It appears we are not going to learn Islam is at war with the Infidel.

Amn Allen Burks - Yes. But, notice the use of truck bombs on each example.

I concur with you TSgt Joe C. that was a devastating day for the USAF and the US Military services for that matter. Attacks on sleeping quarters in a "peacetime" environment are horrific.

Horrific. We just didn't understand the quality of their warfare. Know your enemy certainly means we need to know the enemy now. They love this. At least these were military targets, but tactics changed dramatically going after soft targets. Cowards fight that way, but smart for them.
