Thousands gathered Tuesday in New York, suburban Washington and rural Pennsylvania to mark the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, but at the somber day's biggest venue, Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, this year's observance was missing a key feature from years past: politicians' voices.
In a reminder of the global consequences of the attacks, in which nearly 3,000 people were killed by airliners hijacked by Islamist militants, commemorations also were being held abroad. At the Kaia airport in the Afghan capital Kabul, soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force prayed during a memorial ceremony for the Sept. 11 victims.
The United States and its allies launched the invasion of Afghanistan to oust al-Qaida and its Taliban protectors in retaliation for the 2001 attacks. Nearly eleven years later, troops are still fighting there in what has become America's longest war.
President Barack Obama has pledged to end the main U.S. combat role in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, but current plans call for some thousands of U.S. troops to remain long after that to train Afghans and hunt terrorists. Since 2001, more than 2,000 American troops have been killed in Afghanistan.
In search of 'more intimate' commemorations
In previous years, politicians including presidents, state governors and New York City mayors have participated in the reading of the names, or have read from the Bible or recited passages from literature, at Ground Zero commemoration ceremonies.

The nation pauses in honor of the spirit and sacrifice made by the victims of the September 11th attacks in ceremonies at Ground Zero, Shanksville and the Pentagon. NBC's Danielle Leigh reports.
This year, only the families of the more than 2,750 who were killed when militant Islamist hijackers crashed two jetliners into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, causing their collapse, appeared on the podium to read their names.
To Charles G. Wolf, it's a fitting transition.
"We've gone past that deep, collective public grief," says Wolf, whose wife, Katherine, was killed at the trade center. "And the fact that the politicians will not be involved, to me, makes it more intimate, for the families. ... That's the way that it can be now."
Fewer families attended the ceremonies this year, and some cities canceled their remembrances altogether.
The president and first lady observe a moment of silence on the White House font lawn in honor of the September 11 attacks.
"I feel much more relaxed" this year, said Jane Pollicino, who came to Ground Zero Tuesday morning to remember her husband, who was killed at the trade center. "After the ninth anniversary, that next day, you started building up to the 10th year. This feels a lot different, in that regard. It's another anniversary that we can commemorate in a calmer way, without that 10-year pressure."
Politicians still attended, but under event rules set down in July by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, chaired by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, none was to speak or participate in the reading of names.
The point, memorial President Joe Daniels said, was "honoring the victims and their families in a way free of politics" in an election year.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was among the officials attending the New York ceremony this year.
From NBC 4 New York: Agreement reached on Sept. 11 museum
Political friction
But others said keeping politicians off the rostrum smacked of ... politics.
The move came amid friction between the memorial foundation and the governors of New York and New Jersey over financing for the museum — friction that abruptly subsided Monday, when Bloomberg and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced an agreement that paves the way for finishing the $700 million project "as soon as practicable."
Before the deal, Cuomo, a Democrat, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, had signaled their displeasure by calling on federal officials to give the memorial a financial and technical hand. Some victims' relatives saw the no-politicians anniversary ceremony as retaliation.
"Banning the governors of New York and New Jersey from speaking is the ultimate political decision," said one relatives' group, led by retired Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches. His firefighter son and namesake was killed responding to the burning World Trade Center.
Spokesmen for Christie and Cuomo said the governors were fine with the memorial organizers' decision.
The restrictions will not extend to politicians at the other remembrances.

Soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force pray at Kaia airport, Kabul, Afghanistan, during an 11th anniversary memorial ceremony for those who perished in the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States.
At the Pentagon outside of Washington, where more than 180 were killed when a hijacked plane was flown into it, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta spoke in a ceremony that was closed to the public, attended only by victims' families.
Also speaking to the victims’ families, President Barack Obama said that the Sept. 11 victims would be remembered "no matter how many years pass.”
Obama said that the whole country shares their loss.

"Eleven times we have paused in remembrance and reflection, in unity and in purpose," Obama said. "This is never an easy day, but it is especially difficult for all of you, the families of nearly 3,000 innocents who lost their lives."
"But no matter how many years pass, no matter how many times we come together on this hallowed ground, know this: That you will never be alone, your loved ones will never be forgotten. They will endure in the hearts of our nation because through their sacrifice they helped us make the America we are today, an America that has emerged even stronger."
Earlier, the president and first lady Michelle Obama observed the anniversary in a ceremony on the White House's south lawn, and then laid a white floral wreath at the Pentagon, above a concrete slab that said "Sept. 11, 2001 — 9:37 a.m."
Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar delivered remarks in Shanksville, Pa., where 40 passengers aboard United Flight 93 were killed when that plane crashed as they revolted against their hijackers.
The names of 40 crew members and passengers aboard the plane were read beginning at 10:03, the time of the crash, by victims' families and local volunteers who assisted in the aftermath of the attacks. A bell was rung for each of the 40 victims, and a wreath was laid at the Wall of Names honoring the dead.
"How we handle the legacy of these 40 people and what they did, what they kept from happening, is really more of a statement about ourselves, about what we value as a society," said Patrick White, current president of Families of Flight 93. White's cousin, Joey Nacke II, was among the passengers who stormed the cockpit.
U.S. authorities say the al-Qaida hijackers planned to crash that plane into the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
The anniversary led to a brief pause in the presidential campaign as Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney pulled their negative ads and avoided campaign rallies. Romney shook hands with firefighters at Chicago's O'Hare Airport and was flying to Nevada to address the National Guard, whose members deployed after the attacks. His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, had no scheduled public events.

As soon as I realized the democratic sheep and republican cattle would not change their evil ways even after 9/11, I quit caring.
Once again NBC's despicable behavior becomes news rather than reporting it:
NBC shamed in social media for failing to cover 9/11 moment of silence
"NBC stuck with its national programming instead of observing the moment of silence at the time of the 9/11 attacks that are normally observed on this date.
While national viewers of "Good Morning America" and "CBS This Morning" aired the somber remembrance, "Today" aired Savannah Guthrie's interview with "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" mom Kris Jenner on her breast implants."

Reply to all whom still have anger toward Muslims.
As Muslims we are effected by 9/11 more than you think! there is nothing we can do to bring them back. know that we.. as Muslims are working on building respect, trust, good faith, love one another & help each other make it better & safe place for all of us.. but it doesnt mean we are scared of any one but God.
What happened should of never happened if our Gov. took Bin Laden threat seriously. Little kid from Manhattan made a comment that the twin tower will not be standing there! if a F.. kid knew!!!! you think your Gov did not! you need to check with your corrupted Bush Adm first on why Bin Laden threat was never mentioned to deal with.. not unless someone from US knew and did nothing about it. as I learned here in US there are many selfish people who think only for them selves.
I have anger toward any radical, violent group of people. I don't care what religion they are. I do have anger toward the taliban, al quaida?, and any other muslim who is out to kill Americans or any other group of citizens "just because". I won't put all muslims under the same blanket. If someone is genuinely nice to me, my community, then I'll be nice back.
Fair enough
Godspeed to the hundreds of jumpers that had no choice so stocks could go up a dollar...
Just think............It only took 7 years after the attack by the Muslim Dogs for them to get one of their own elected President of the U.S.
You are a complete idiot. Do some non-partisan reasearch by people who have nothing to gain by saying Obama is or is not a muslim. You only spew the right angles you read. Branch out, read something not written by a GOP slobbering money hungry fool. You are right though, just think! Take your own advice. I didn't vote for Obama, but I don't believe he is a muslim. His family was non church attending Methodists and Baptists.
Let us not forget who CAUSED the 9/11 terrorist event - it was NOT Osama Bin Laden. It was another Rothschild/Rockefeller NWO purposely created "False Flag" event designed to create endless war, impossible debt and a total police state - ahead of DEpopulation.
Look around you, walk through an airport and see if this purposely staged event succeeded. The subverted US Government "leaders" who know this and facilitated the event and carry on the cover up are all in Treason to America and the world.

Why....
Bush rejects Taliban offer to hand Bin Laden over
Taliban demand evidence of Bin Laden's guilt
* Second week of airstrikes starts
* Taliban urges US to halt bombing
Sunday October 14, 2001
President George Bush rejected as "non-negotiable" an offer by the Taliban to discuss turning over Osama bin Laden if the United States ended the bombing in Afghanistan.
Returning to the White House after a weekend at Camp David, the president said the bombing would not stop, unless the ruling Taliban "turn [bin Laden] over, turn his cohorts over, turn any hostages they hold over." He added, "There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he's guilty". In Jalalabad, deputy prime minister Haji Abdul Kabir - the third most powerful figure in the ruling Taliban regime - told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but added: "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country".

U.S. Was Foiled Multiple Times in Efforts To Capture Bin Laden or Have Him Killed
CIA Trained Pakistanis to Nab Terrorist but Military Coup Put an End to 1999 Plot
, October 3, 2001;
By Bob Woodward and Thomas E. Ricks
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, October 3, 2001;
In 1999, the CIA secretly trained and equipped approximately 60 commandos from the Pakistani intelligence agency to enter Afghanistan for the purpose of capturing or killing Osama bin Laden, according to people familiar with the operation.
The plan was set in motion less than 12 months after U.S. cruise missile strikes against bin Laden's training camps in Afghanistan that Clinton administration officials believe narrowly missed hitting the exiled Saudi militant. The clandestine operation was part of a more robust effort by the United States to get bin Laden than has been previously reported, including consideration of broader military action, such as massive bombing raids and Special Forces assaults.
It is a record of missed opportunities that has provided President Bush and his administration with some valuable lessons as well as a framework for action as they draw up plans for their own war against bin Laden and his al Qaeda network in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

As a country we should never forget.
Everything should be shut down. It should be a day to reflect on what happen on 9/11/2001.
This day shouldn't turn into a commercialize day for the malls to be open selling discounted merchandise.
I have small company and every time this horrible anniversary comes up i rather be anyplace than work.
9/11 should be declare a national day of mourning.
allright I will probably get hate mail and death threats after this thread but in the interest of our right to express ourselves here I go: WE would have to be a nation of callous, self indulgent , self absorbed people if we EVER forgot what took place eleven years and 7 and a half hours ago. We all remember what we were doing during that awful time. We remember the families that the victims left behind and it is precisely for those victim families I say: why are we obsessed with broadcasting these events on every news channel blog etc.every Sept 11th throughout the entire day. This only serves to retraumatize these families and remind them of their incredible loss. I cannot imagine what these families go through starting around labor day every year! At what point do we pass over that fine line of rememberance to sensationalism. What long term effect does our collective depression on this day impact on the children of these people who are now about to enter adulthood? We will never forget these events that led us into two wars and started the inevidible economic decline that we now face. I would rather see people celebrating our rise from these ashes and the resilience of those familes effected by this tragedy than watch with the same type of horrific curiosity we experience when we see an accident on the side of the road. If these families have experienced PTSD as the result of 911 we reinjure these people and ourselves every year
Pretty bad when today we praise death and destruction more than life. This government even spends more on death and destruction than fixing anything good and clean in this country. 9-11 was just a warning that everyone shrugged off and now we got the criminal government as proof of our stupidity and praise of everything bad.. I praise God that 9-11 happened, it may have woken up some of you blind idiots,, But no,, keep praising man when man has nothing to do with anything other than their own destruction and greed.
GeezString
Here we go with the Bush bashing with no way to back it up. OK, here are some facts for you even though the liberal mind won't accept facts but I will try anyway.
Bush scored a 1206 on his SAT's and this is in the top 10%. He received his masters from Harvard Business School with a 3.6 GPA (wish we could see what BO had!). His grades at Yale were higher than John Kerry's; Bush had one D while Kerry had 5 D's. Kerry had an average 76, Bush had a cumulative average of 77. Al gore was even worse, failing five of eight courses and dropping out of divinity school.
You got to drop the "Bush is an idiot" routine because the facts don't back it up.
Cocain's a helluva drug. Didn't he use cocaine? I don't think his being an idiot was a routine at all. Don't you remember all the fumbles he made just trying to speak? His father briefed him daily on how to be president. He was just Sr's puppet.
It has already been brought to light that our government knew 9/11 was going to happen. Some believe it, some don't. To each his/her own thoughts.
But it is a fact that the government knew those soldiers were going to be slaughtered at Ft. Hood and did nothing about it. They monitored the messages between the killer and the terrorist, and did nothing.
If that is indeed true, I would blame it on political correctness and the pussification of America by the liberals.
It is true. The report came out about three weeks ago on a Friday afteroon, late. They do that with things they don't want a lot of public scrutiny over hoping that by Monday when minds are back on track and sharp the unsavory information will be buried under other fast moving news.
WE CAN ALWAYS REMEMBER! To all Americans and citizens of other countries whose loved one, friend, co -worker, children, daughter, husband, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandparents, mother, and father perished on September 11, 2001, I will always remember your grief.
On this day, every year, we mourn for the pasting of these people. However, we also forget that American citizens were not the only ones who died in the TWIN TOWERS. As you all know this was the center of trade. Next time you come to this place, turn to see someone who has come from another country to do the same as you. Hug them, because they need that too.
For GOD had give me a day that I had prayed for for many years. On this day there no trains and no jets clutterring the perfect blue sky. I will never forget, because I saw the angels singing and the masses rising. GOD is so vast that he brought you love for others. Eventhough, it was a tragedy, HE gave us humility, so we can better ourselves and those around us. GOD, thank YOU for these lives and the lives of those people who went in these buildings for search and rescue. GOD be with these people's families as they are reminded of YOUR GRACE. Be with those who went after the people who did this wrong. MAy YOUR Wrath be on the shoulders of YOUR enemies. Thank you GOD for letting us all remember. In Christ. AMEN
"this year's observance was missing a key feature from years past: politicians' voices."
Wow. Ya think?
ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
The thing I will remember most about that day was imaging how deafeningly loud it must have been at the WTC. All while I was standing under a dark and silent sky that same night. Thinking that it would never be that quiet again until the end of time...
It's time to get over it people. Seriously.
No, it isn't.
never forget.
..you get over it if you want.
9-11 and he gave us power over all the earth to smite the earth with plagues, wars and the burning of your cities. The birds in the air will feast on body parts and dead bodies will lie in the streets of all their great cities which today, spiritual is called Sodom and Egypt. Great fear will fall upon all who see these miracles and wonders, the second woe will be past and the third will devour this earth quickly. The kingdom of this world becoming the kingdom Of OUR LORD JESUS. The nations will be angry and his wrath on them will come, destroy them that have destroyed this earth, there will be lightning and ONE voice, a great wonder from the heavens, the towers of 9-11 forgotten, And the Dragon WAS..
9-11 and they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name is O-Abomination and their powers are to hurt men and destroy cities. By this a third part of men will be killed, building turned to smoke and brimstone, the orders given from their own mouths for their powers are in their mouths and tall tales of deceptions, their greed the plagues of the world, their idols of gold and silver, their towers shall fall. And I took a book, I listened in prayer, I heard prophesy before many men, many nations and kings, against the kind that destroy and deceive..
9-11 Do you feel the power of Christ Jesus upon you. Are you still in need of these worlds Idols and mighty gold’s? Do you approve the things that are excellent that you may be sincere when you lord comes. My bonds in Christ are made manifest and many confident by my bonds, knowing that in my war I am set to defend the purpose of the gospel, do you rejoice in tribulations, pains and strife. Well I d..
9-11 On that day will God raise up his tabernacle that has fallen, only he can raise up any Ruins and build it like in the days of old. That man might possess it again, the day will come again when the plowman will overtake the reapers of corruption and greed, again they will reap what they have sown and all their hills shall melt, and their gold is worth no more.
9-11 Woe to those who God departs from, their glory shall fly away and from conceptions their evil shall not depart from them, all their princes are revolting, they bring forth your children to murder in wars of deception and they shall be wanderers among all the nations. Their hearts are divided and they will be found guilty as the alters are broken down in pieces, ALL their mighty idols and images..
9-11 All of America today has transgressed the law, even by departing, that they might not obey the voice. Therefore the curse is poured upon US and the truth that is written in the law will be our destruction because we have sinned against him. He has spoken against us in many ways, failing society, falling streets, against our Judges and kings bringing upon us a great evil. For under the whole world, this whole kingdom has there not been such a great evil that we see today, iniquities, lack of understanding and truth. Watch upon this evil works, for we have not obeyed his warning or his voice, even unto our own destruction and loss of salvation.
9-11 Say unto them which daub it with unhampered mortar, that it shall fall, there shall be an over flowing shower and yea old great hailstones shall fall into the streets as a fire of wind will devour it when the walls are fallen. The great wall is no more.
9-11 And behold, the man clothed in linen, which had the ink horn by his side, reported all matters, saying I have done what thou has commanded me as the glory of our lord, leaves this city to desolate..
Never forget the tragedy that happened 11 years ago today; remember those who lost their lives, and the first responders who gave/risked their lives to help those in need.
9-11 the big cities will be made a heap of dust and a den for dragons, the cities will become desolate, a fire that leaves no inhabitants. Who is the wise man that will understand this and who is he that the word of God is spoken, that he can declare it. For this land will perish and burned up like the wilderness, that none will be able to pass through because of the forsaken laws. Teaching your children the ways of wailing for death is soon upon you..
9-11 I will return to the ground, their deaths became very swift in a battle of the weak against the strong, so much bread to the wise, yet riches to men with no understanding when time and chance will happen to them all. For no man knowing of his time, the men snared in evil, this death falling upon them in an instant, like the falling cities coming suddenly upon them, great kings building their hiding places, they will cry with the ruler of fools.
9-11 for by him your days will be multiplied, and only by Him shall you have any increase. A foolish man knows nothing, passengers who go for a ride and do not find their way, stolen lives as their bread is eaten in secret. But he knows the dead are there and that some of the guests are in the depth of Hell. The treasures of the wicked will prophet nothing, but the just will be delivered from this tower of death..
9-11 God goes before your enemy and WE see him not, he passes also before any destruction and we as a nation have perceived nothing, Behold he gives US, and he takes away. Who will say to him, why you do these things? If he had called, if he had answered you, you would still not believe? He will multiply our wounds without a cause. He is responsible for your next breath then why do you fill your hearts with bitterness, hate and wars.
9-11 on that day the number of those slain was brought before the corrupt kings and the kings could only say who was responsible, having them slain and destroyed; now what is their petition, corruption greed and perversion, It shall not be done.
9-11 He did divide the seas so we could go by on dry lands and our enemies did destroy as our persecutors to throw us into the deep as a stone into the mighty waters. Then led us into a day of a cloudy pillar and into the night with a cloud of fire to give us light to see where we should go. Then again giving us bread from heaven but yet again we refuse to obey...
9-11 The lands, the inheritances lost among your people with their abominations which have filled your lands from one end to the other with their uncleanness and all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great trespass, seeing that our God has punished us less than what our iniquities call for, giving some the Deliverance of this great falling away.
9-11 and there was none such seen in this country before and the kings they fail at their descriptions, their deceptions, their greed for worldly gains. Their pure gold that will melt when the fires hit their houses, their kingdom and mighty palaces.
9-11 what king gave us all the wood, the cedar trees all laid with gold according to all his desire. Twenty Cities yet one stand tallest of all and it came to pass as the end but the beginning of what's to come. Throw her down and some of her blood was spread..
9-11 they went up the hill to the city, they found many dead and destroyed, behold the highest place taken down to its knees, which came out against them if it be the will of God.
9-11 And it was done as the Lord had commanded and others had done the work that the Lord had given them the rights too, burning their chariots with fire, people of war with her rights to defend..
9-11 And their flesh shall be burnt off their hide the 11th day of the ninth month and it will be made the dust of the ground for all them to see around the world and it did come to pass on the day foretold, fires in a day of great assembly.
9-11 The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble, Put them in fear oh Lord, so the world will know they are but men..
9-11,, They shall be broken with a rod of Iron, they shall be dashed to pieces like a cracked vessel, them with no fear of the Lord.
He is like the beasts that will perish, their inward thoughts that their houses shall continue forever and ever, their abomination to this generation, calling their lands by their own names, this their way, will be their destruction that this beast should perish.
Like any sheep, they will be laid in the ground and death shall feed on them. The upright will have dominion over them and the beauty they hold so dear shall be consumed by the worms.. For when this wicked man dies, he shall not carry anything to the grave; they shall never see the light.
This countries governing system has become an evil disease and now that they lie, deceive and are greedy criminal politicians, they shall rise up no more, they have lifted up their agenda against the just, by this I know, they favor only themselves and want to triumph over the whole world, setting US before their faces, over and over again. Everlasting to everlasting damnation with their Abominations and Miss guided trust. All their garments smell like poisons and they have embraced only wicked things, with their glory and their majesty of wanting to be the kings. So shall these kings desire the greatest gold’s, the kings’ palace, people to praise them forever and ever and they will be the generation of greedy Vipers. The heathen rages and their kingdoms will be moved, the earth will be melted: come behold the burning of their chariots, the spears of fire, be still and NO who is the LORD..
Oh Lord of my Salvation, They that also render evil for good are my adversaries, YOU Lord will being them to Justice in a world where justice is corrupted by wicked men. I will not stand silent when the wicked and UN just system of corruption is before me. Lord make me to know your enemies, help me to know how frail I am because every man at his best and greatest state is altogether vanity.. They heap up all the riches and surely don't know how hard they will fall, the blind and the foolish things..
Funny how this government can in one moment of their deceptions sing God bless America and in the next conform to sick and perverted agenda's. Then war and killings of innocent people for the gain of Military scare tactics. They must not read the part that says, thou shall not kill, love thy enemies and give to the poor. It's called a double minded person, for these evildoers will be cut off, for
Just a little while longer and this wicked generation of vipers,, Shall not be no more.. This wicked governing system is plotting against the just things, they cast down the poor and needy, they slay others for greedy gains, the little parts of a just man are better than the riches of the many wicked people deceiving this country, this government doing nothing but deceiving its own people in their criminal politics...God save them, Only he marks the perfect Man

I would like to know why some military bases and national guard posts are not flying the American flag today. I mean not flying it at all
PHUCK you! I personally beg you to go to any military base in or out of this country and ask to wipe your hind end with our flag. I'll bet the floor gets wiped up with you.
I spent 4 days digging through the "pile" (12 - 15 SEP 11) and would have stayed longer had I not had to return to my university studies. I slept in my car just across the bridge every night and I was very thankful and appreciative of those New Yorkers who offered me the occasional cup of coffee or soup and for the NYPD who kept a casual eye on me and my vehicle as I slept and never harassed me as they realized why I was there.
Thank you Bigfoot, ol Auschwitz up there had rather you didn't help, he thinks we should let it go and move on with our lives. No way he was born and raised American. He needs to leave here if he is here. He is lower than snake sh*t.
Take this day to reflect, to mourn and to come together as one nation
Put aside all political views. Today is not about politics. Today is about the victims, their families, and America's people
Remember how we, as an entire country came together to support each other from all walks of life in all corners of our country.
We ALL lost something that day.
Today, remember the thousands of souls lost, the thousands of families that must still endure the pain of their loss each and every day, but especially today
Today and every day, remember our military men and women who are STILL in Afghanistan and who are STILL losing their lives for our freedom. They are our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters. Never forget.
Count your blessings today, for the country you live in, the ability to speak up, the freedom to vote for the things you want.
Today is a day to cry with saddness for the innocence we all lost on 9/11. Put your hatreds aside. Reflect upon the lights that will illuminate the space those wonderful towers once stood tonight.
My thoughts and prayers to ALL the families, to ALL the firemen and police and ALL the military men and women.
I want to comment just for the clarification about the whole Obama being a muslim idea that keeps being spread around. Obama a Muslim? Muslims do not support gay marriage, work for a corrupted government, support American troops staying in Muslim countries and killing innocent civilians. Obama is not Muslim at all, for many more reasons than was mentioned. First of all, his dad was not a committed practicing Muslim and died when he was young. Secondly his mother, who raised him most of his life was christian. Obama himself never attended any muslim religious schools nor was in contact with any muslim preacher when he grew up. In fact, Obama is more likely to be a radical christian especially with his own reverend (reverend jeremiah wright) screaming "God damn America". The facts are there, so unless you people have anything real to show for his Radical Muslim beliefs please be quiet. I feel like the only reason that this was propagated was because Obama's Reverend was extreme and in order for christianity not to have a bad face they blame the scapegoat Islam for any extremism or wrongdoing outside or inside the U.S. People can talk all they want against Islam but it keeps increasing in followers since 9/11 so haters will never win. By the way for those rumors on the internet sites like MSN and youtube who claim Obama has or had close ties to radical taliban and al-qaeda network leaders, I would love to see how he would communicate with them when he is being watched 24/7 and how he would ever had even reached presidency with such a record on his back. If doubters out there think there are no radical christian groups look at the American Front and the Hutaree for starters.
To the crew of the Today Show - way to go!! During this morning's somber reflections and moment of silence on the 11th anniversary of the attacks, I was just thinking to myself, "what I really want right now is an in depth discussion on some unknown woman and her recent boob job". Thanks! Way to show respect to the fallen!!
All three networks' morning shows are nothing but kiddie shows aimed at the twelve to nineteen year-old mentality,GMA is perhaps the worst, with even George acting like a fool. I have switched to a local channel for news.
Struggling with my better judgement whether or not to submit a post today or offer silence as my tribute to septemember eleventh. I came up with a poem that reflects my thoughts and hopes for all of us. Here goes..
9/11 is
Consolation, oneness, love
Stars and stripes rising
NBC should be ashamed of themselves for showing the Kardashian's during the "Moment of Silence".
Starsailing, you're awesome.
