WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama sought to rally Americans behind the war in Afghanistan on the eighth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States as opinion polls show faltering public support for the conflict.
"Let us renew our resolve against those who perpetrated this barbaric act and plot against us still," Obama said on Friday at a somber ceremony attended by about 500 people under rain-filled skies at the Pentagon.
"In pursuit of al Qaeda and its extremist allies we will never falter," he said, before laying a wreath at a memorial for those killed at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
On that day, American Airlines Flight 77 from Washington's Dulles International Airport smashed into the walls of the U.S. military headquarters, killing 125 people, along with the plane's 59 passengers and crew and the five hijackers.
Al Qaeda hijackers took control of four passenger planes on September 11, crashing two into the World Trade Center in New York and a third into the Pentagon. A fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers and crew tried to retake control of the plane.
In all, about 3,000 people were killed.
In New York, relatives of those who died in the World Trade Center attack took turns reading the names of the victims, adding personal remarks of remembrance for their loved ones, while flutists and violinists played solemn music.
The reading of the names took place in a small park across the street from the World Trade Center site, which is now a huge construction area where four skyscrapers and a national museum and memorial plaza are planned.

McChrystal: No major al-Qaida signs in Afghanistan

LOL!!
Well, hell, NO!
AQ is in Pakistan.
Me too, but unless he changes our rules of engagement to allow our troops to fight, we're going to be there for a generation. Alas, it's typical of a liberal - fight the real wars half-assed, and the made-up crises full-bore.
NO, Mr. President. You hold it by the handle and put paint on the roller..."
That’s PAHK-e-stahn to you.
That bumper sticker goes well with the President kissing the hand of the SA king, and bowing to him, then later he said I DID NOT BOW. WE ALL SAW IT.
He can look his koolaid drinkers in the eye and say I AM NOT HERE and they will all say WHERE DID HE GO?
Eggsellent!!!! Going now to check ‘em out.
As has been proven multiple times in the past, what the buttwipe Zero says is one thing and what he actually thinks and more importantly does are two entirely different things.
"A Mind Strong Back Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"
No visit of our troops from our Military-Hating, Communist Dictator Loving, Resident in our Whitehouse?
RENEW!? So now we have another plan coming forth to keep our guys marooned in those “camps” in defensive positions while AQ and Taliban pick them off one at a time?
Did these wizards ever consider the uptick in action in Afghanistan is directly proportional to the downtick of action in Iraq? So how did we get the Iraq situation to turn around? We went directly after them wherever they happened to slither off to.
Now that our guys in Iraq have been sequestered to their camps, AQ is back again to raising the violence level.
Is it just me or is the Post Turtle’s hair getting grey quickly?
Didn’t the Lefties say the fight against al Qaeda was “Bush’s war”?
Notice how pants look on people who actually paint.
