My Pictures Flight 93 Crash Site
watched it live and it was awe inspiring...
GWB speaking of Flight 93- “At a moment when democracy was being attacked the passengers went to the back of the plane and took a vote”- that passage will live with me forever...
For all his faults, I really do miss W. Especially considering what he was replaced with. Hell, I think I even miss Clinton at this point.
bttt
A great tribute to the Flight 93 heroes. Three “dislikes” from Al Qaeda supporters. A nice remembrance though of what it was like back when adults were running our country.
Hussein must be wetting his pants. His speech writers wouldn’t even come close. In his world, only Conservatives are evil.
That will go down in history, that struck me so hard it sent chills down my spine and tears of pride streaming down my face.
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.
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.

“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.
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.

Bush was forever changed by 9/11. I believe his FBI appointee Robert Mueller was on the job 3 days, and his DOJ appointee, may not have been confirmed. The Democrats held up a bunch of confirmations, then tried to hang 9/11 all on him. He had been in office about 9 months and Clinton 8 years and a lot of Clinton’s appointees were still there.
‘“One of the lessons of 9-11 is that evil is real and so is courage.”’
Worth remembering!
9/11. Never forget. And Never Forgive.
