A message to Osama Ben Hidin if you are still alive. You are a gutless impotent little coward. If the best attack you can pull off is some old video clip you really are irrelevant. Come out of your cave and die like a man (if you haven't assumed room temperature years ago).
Tanks to all who have kept us safe for 6 years since that day. Pres. Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Pat Tillman, those on Flight 93 that fought back, all those who are serving their country in this War on Terror. I salute you.
My first emotion on Sept. 11th was anger and I think that's still true.
Thanks for this thread. I can’t believe it has been 6 years. Six years of relative safety and still President Bush gets bashed. How that must encourage our enemy! I pray today for all the victims and their families. I remember that morning vividly. The phone rang, it was my brother in law telling us about the plane hitting the first tower so we rushed to turn the tv on and saw the second plane hit. I don’t think the tv got turned off for a couple of days. God Bless America!
Six years ago, we knew. Go read Instapundit’s archives of that day. We knew it was Bagdad. George Bush didn’t trump that up. We knew.
Thankfully, we no longer need the MSM’s filters of “perspective” or trumped up, biased “looks back at 911” specials. The Internet has a looonnnggg memory, that’s searchable. There’s hope.
Thank you! We need to remember this every day!

Thank you for this wonderful tribute.
On this day we are one with the heroes who have died fighting against evil.
On this day we are all standing with those who died on 9-11 and all the days since 9-11.
I have to say, I watched the first few minutes of the YouTube link and became so enraged I had to turn it off. The thought that many in this country just want to sweep the whole thing under the rug, that many elected officials are using the war on terror for political advantage with no real concern for the safety of the people. Well, it makes my blood boil so hot, I have to simply catch my breath and remind myself there are laws against what I would like to do.
Someone talked about the historical perspective of this war against Islam, how it dates back over 1,400 years. That now, it’s only rearing it’s ugly head because they have accumulated the resources to reignite this centuries old Holy war.
So the West must face the reality that once again, we are going to lose more people on our side and perhaps millions of innocent people on the other side will have to die, as we cull the savage herd, because of the actions of a small number of religious fanatics.
Maybe we get lucky and secure the West by small attacks against terrorist cells, by killing as many of these nut-cases as possible and leaving the rest of the Muslims alone. Or maybe we just have have to kill millions to secure our safety.
That’s if we even have the will to fight on that scale. But when I look at these reminders of 9-11, I realize the enemy has brought this upon themselves and if we have to kill a lot of people, well they threatened us and we had to eliminate that threat.
Thank you for this ping, Dolly. I’m thankful to see all of the information, pictures, and video footage of September 11, 2001 here and all across the Internet.
Some, who would try to squelch it, and discourage the remembrance and commemoration of that tragic day, will not succeed in their attempts because of people like you, and Free Republic. God bless you.
We shall never forget!
Beautiful thread, Dolly, thanks.
Dolly, I have gotten this far and this thread is wonderful. Had no idea that Barbara Olsen was a Freeper and I was amazed. I loved her so.......a living doll with very stron beliefs and I felt so sad for Ted when this happened........the other Freeper I was not familiar with but glad to learn he was a Freeper. This day every year puts that lump in the throat and the tears in the eyes and I will always feel that way. It is powerful every anniversary! Pictures so far are wonderful!
(And thank you)
I will never forget.
I will never forgive!
