It was on the morning of September 11th, 2001 when 19 men affiliated with the terrorist group Al-Qaeda planned and successfully executed the hijacking of four commercial Jet airplanes and carried out the most heinous attact on America in our history.
Many of us in the world looked on in horror as terrorists flew these hijacked planes into New York City's mighty Twin Towers, destroying the iconic buildings and killing more than 2,700 people. We watched on live on TV and witnessed that day that changed America and the rest of the world with it.. So be became to learn the name of one of the Worlds most dangerous, hated, and wanted person ever. Osama bin Laden a Saudi Arabian born in Riyadh in 1957 and based in Afghanistan, and who was the leader of a terrorist organization called Al Quaida in Afghanistan somewhere in the hills near the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. In 1988, The creation of the group called Al Quaida brought together the Saudi wealth, the expertise of a Egyptian terrorist militant, and the will to create havoc and destruction to the Infidels or non-believers. In Islamic theology this is known as Shariah Islamic Law, or jihad, or a holy war. Al Quaida was and is a terrorist group, who attacked because Bin laden gave the suicide bombers money to their families so that they would survive and to kill innocent people. These beliefs of the terrorist, showed us “That the Religion of Peace” was not at all what they claim to be but more like a pack of Animals that Hate, and Kill innocent people. This is what these Radical Islamic or Muslim live for. Am I saying that all Muslims hate America? No, you can't judge a whole group of people (Muslims) by looking at one group who are terrorists. And No, I’m not, but the ones that do not fit the description seem to be few and far apart. And SILENT. On September the 11th 2001, The attacks started and involved the hijacking of four commercial passenger aircraft, that lead to the death of 2,974 people when 2 of the hijacked planes were flown into a series of buildings in America known as the World Trade Center.
Who can ever forger the images of those poor doomed people jumping from the World Trade Center. It is estimated that about 200 people jumped to their deaths that morning,
It was worse sight that I can remember seeing.
And that was quickly followed by another attack on the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, as well as a foiled highjacking the crashed in the fields of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, PA when several BRAVE and COURAGEOUS AMERICAN’S, and failed to reach its intended target, which many think was the US Capital.. We can all remember those immortalized words "LET'S ROLL" which led to the call to action by an American hero Todd Beamer. Did September the 11th change America and change the world perhaps forever? Well we now have an America and the entire world living with the fear of Terror, every day and every where we go. The whole World is a different place after 9/11. The United States and the rest of the world has lost not only innocent people because of the WAR on TERROR but it has cost us Trillions of dollars and billions of Jobs and sickness because of it. So I’d say that the Terrorist really did their job well. We can all remember the US embassies in Kenya, It was on a Friday, February 26, 1993, when Middle Eastern TERRORISM had first arrived on American soil the first bombing of the World Trade Center and we had these strange names like Ramzi Yousef, Mohamed Atta and Khalid Shaikh Mohammedi n our newspapers.
After then it had become a challenge to capture Osama bin Laden by the United States government since the Presidency of Bill "USS Cole" Clinton It all seemed so very strange to us them. But it doesn’t today, today it has become a way of life.This all came to light in 1993 under President Clinton, when we saw the first World Trade Center bombing that killed six people.
And in 1998, the bombing of two U.S. Embassies in Africa one that killed 80 people, 8 of them American and the other killed 7 people and 72 others were injured And they were linked to Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
And then the bombing of the USS Cole that took the lives of 17 American Sailors and 39 more were injured.
And right after the attack President Bill Clinton said, "IT NOW APPEARS, THAT THIS WAS AN ACT OF TERRORISM, IT WAS A DESPICABLE AND COWARDLY AND INHUMAN ACTS OF COWARDICE.” He vowed to bring those responsible to justice "NO MATTER WHAT OR HOW LONG IT TAKES."All of the above were the work of Al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden, who in declared his holy war on America, and made him the most wanted man not only in America, but in the world.
And in 1998, President Bill aka“BJ” Clinton announced, “We will use all the means at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice, no matter what or how long it takes.”
Now I'm a bit confused here.. I constantly hear about Bush’s War. But hardly ever hear about Bill Clinton’s INACTION against Bin Laden after the USS Cole bombing under his presidency.
We can all remember the day that George Bush stood on the pile of rubble and smoke at the wreckage of the World Trade Center with that megaphone saying as he stood on top of the rubble in Ground Zero, and spoke into his megaphone saying: "I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you.”
We can all remember the day that George Bush stood on the pile of rubble and smoke at the wreckage of the World Trade Center with that megaphone saying as he stood on top of the rubble in Ground Zero, and spoke into his megaphone saying those now famous words
"I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"
Do you remember the day after how we were ALL New Yorkers then, do you remember how we were ALL American’s then? But that all lasted for a whole 48 hours, or was it 72 hours. Whatever it was, it was twice as long as the day after the Tucson Arizona shooting.
And now we have President who speaks with a Teleprompter, saying “There Is NO War On Terror”
And then Mr. Obama who was afraid that the Muslims and the terrorists would be offended, ended the use of the term “The War on Terror” Islamic terrorism has all but destroyed the America of Yesterday and our Dear Leader does not want to offend them. He also has converted the day that we celebrate called Sept. 11th to appease the Muslims and the Leftists, to National Day of Service. I’m sorry but Obama is not going to rewrite the history of 9-11. He can call it whatever day he wants to, it just ain’t going to fly. Those real American’s will always remember that day as it happened and as it is. . After all if it weren’t for September the 11th, we wouldn’t have to be taking off our shoes and standing in front of a x-ray machine or having some lowlife TSA employee feeling us and our wives up every time we to to the airport. They think of September the 11th as a "Republican Patriotic Day because it focuses the public on unimportant *sarcastic* issues like Patriotism, National Security, and Terrorism. For me, and for many millions of others like me, September the 11th, will always be the biggest single day in America’s history. No matter what this Pinko says!
. Yes, Obama’s “War on Terror” has changes, his language has softened and has turned into “Hope and Change” Only unfortunately, the language, and the treats and the acts of the terrorists have not changed. Obama wants the Trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is being held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay to be held in New York City. This President, doesn’t he care about how many New Yorkers will be hurt by this nonsense. Just as he don’t care about how New Yorkers feel about allowing that 13-story monstrosity called a Muslim Community Center but as we all know it’s going to be a Cordoba House MOSQUE right there in the shadows of Ground Zero where 2,750 people were killed in the September 11 attacks. A direct slap in the face of the families of those who were jumping out of the windows. Does that damned arrogant Attorney General give a damn about what they think or feel? No, he’s just a henchman for the man sitting in the White house calling the shots. But what really gets me is how can those people on the left be so narrow minded and blind not to see all of this.
So is the War On Terror Over? The reason I ask is because if it is over then what would you call the Fort Hood Shooter, and the Underwear Bomber, and the Christmas Day Bomber, and the Times Square Bomber? Huh!
