George W. Bush spoke this afternoon at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful speech. One of his best.
From his speech today: On 9-11, “The most lives lost on American soil on a single day since the Battle of Antietam.”
“One of the lessons of 9-11 is that evil is real and so is courage.”
“At the moment American democracy was under attack our citizens defied their captors by holding a vote. The choice they made would cost them their lives. And they knew it. Many passengers called their loved ones to say good-bye. Then hung up to perform their final act.”
“The Flight 93 heroes led the first counter attack in the WAR ON TERROR.”
“The temptation of isolation is deadly wrong.”
Bush receives a standing ovation. Even Bill Clinton and Veep Joe Biden stood up.

May God Bless President George W. Bush. His speech was wonderful, and I for one, miss him very much!
We mourn those murdered on 9/11, as we should, as is right and holy and proper to do. What I’m tired of is the sobbing and the crying. What ever happened to “Lets Roll’’? How about getting angry at the 7th, century barbarism that bought this horror to our country and has the affrontery to threaten us again, on 9/11? How about a loud, throaty chorus of “Lets wipe Islam off the planet’’?
Bump. God bless those brave people and our nation.
“The most lives lost on American soil on a single day since the Battle of Antietam.”
To violence perhaps, but 111 years and two days ago, more were lost on American soil in a single day in Galveston, Texas.
Indeed, one of the great ones. I have never wavered in that assessment, from his acceptance speech to his remarks today he reveals a core manhood lost on his detractors but imbued in “the code”. If you have to ask, it cant be explained.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
GWB’s greatest speech ever.
What a classy and righteous man; we were so blessed to have him as our leader through those dark days.
I think he was “The angel in the whirlwind”. We needed him. Can you imagine if Obama were President on 9-11?
Go back under your rock.
‘Please don’t miss the bastard too much’
I don’t think of President Bush as a bastard. However, you seem to meet the criteria.
Because obama is our 'leader'.

“Muslim Consultants Lied to Park Service About Flight 911 Islamic Crescent Memorial”

“Academic charlatan calculates the direction to Mecca, then tells the press that there is no such thing as the direction to Mecca
Here’s a novel way to deny that the giant crescent points to Mecca. Just deny that there is any such thing as the direction to Mecca. This from the Park Service’s first consultant, as reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Daniel Griffith, a geospatial information sciences professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, said anything can point toward Mecca, because the earth is round.
That is not an errant paraphrase. Griffith said the same thing to Tribune Democrat reporter Kirk Swauger:
He said you can face anywhere to face Mecca.
So when Muslims face Mecca for prayer, they are just deluding themselves? They could actually face any old direction and still be facing Mecca? Is there really no such thing as a direction on planet earth?
Griffith was lying of course, and the Park Service knew it, because the first thing Griffith’s report on the orientation of the Crescent of Embrace does is calculate the direction from Shanksville to Mecca:
I computed an azimuth value from the Flight 93 crater site to Mecca of roughly 55.20°.”
(snip)
“After Griffith verified that the crescent/broken-circle does indeed point almost exactly at Mecca, the Park Service asked two Islamic scholars whether there was any Islamic significance to this giant Mecca-oriented crescent. Could it by any chance be seen as a giant mihrab? After all, the archetypical mihrab IS crescent shaped.
The Park Service’s second consultant, a professor of Islamic and mosque architecture at M.I.T. named Nasser Rabbat, assured the Park Service that because the crescent does not point exactly at Mecca it cannot be seen as a mihrab:
Mihrab orientation is either correct or not. It cannot be off by some degrees.”

The maples turn red, of course. There is even a muezzin’s tower. Wonder if it will chime 5 times per day, or only a possible 3.
My sanguine, extreme loathing here will not be assuaged.
GWB’s speech was awesome, and I expected nothing less. Clinton looked frail and didn’t speak long. The surprise of the event to me was Biden’s speech, I thought it was excellent and heartfelt. Maybe when he gets far enough from Obama he doesn’t screw up, and he can speak very well.
The best was that nobody pounded the podium or swung their head from side to side reading every word off the t-prompter.
My grandson, who attends college, worked all of the summer of 2010 for a construction company that did most of the site preperation for this memorial. He ran heavy equipment building the base for the roads and doing ground elevation work.
He mentioned the number of people that came to visit the temporary memorial caused them to move it because of the interference of their work.
I like Dubya. If he ran in 2012, I'd vote for him.
That was a beautiful speech as was the whole ceremony. It was inspiring, comforting and a tribute to the heroic passengers. Pres. Clinton and VP Biden also had good speeches. I’d love to listen to them all again. Prayers and beautiful music, and the National Anthem sung correctly. Memorable.
The block now sits in the WH...who ties the hands of our Troops with stupid ROE’s. Which is getting a lot of them maimed and killed.
You cannot fight a war, if you have a president who is one of the enemy, and won’t fight a proper war.
The generals of today are still fighting the last war not this one, which is very different in nature.
The first thing that should have been done was to burn every poppy field, and kept them burned, which would have cut off their funding for their arms and ammo.
Then turn the Military loose to do it’s job.
I miss him and your assessment is full of shit, just as you obviously are.

Thats fine just dont say it too loud.
Maybe Im overly sensitive as I think he is one of our best presidents and Ive never been able to understand all the criticism.... Im also aware of how much Reagan was hated and that with time that all changed.... ( Im sure there are still some on the left that still hate him) I think and hope it will also happen to Bush
