As I've been doing for over a decade, posting Kelly's (MrsOC) remembrance.

I remember the rumors: The Old Executive Office Building was on fire, the Hay-Adams Hotel was on fire, the Sears Tower had also been hit.  And F-16s (I think that’s what they were) circling over DC, flying CAPs.

And here is where we are now: Biden is running a hostage negotiation with the Taliban. 


(I am astonished FP published this, by the way.)

"Hostage" is such an ugly word. Call them "bargaining chips".

I have to say, I’m surprised and a little disappointed that Lileks posted nothing at The Bleat to mark this anniversary.

I have long admired Mark Steyn. But frankly I’m getting sick of his relentless defeatism that’s been on display in the last year or so.

Ranger up, Mark.

There's no silver bullet for terrorism. But the Biden administration thinks that gold will stop terrorism.
