At least the Soviets understood that EVERYBODY in Afghanistan (even if they’re temporarily fighting on your side) are enemies.

With all due respect to Ben, I think the four words of my tagline better state the problem than his one thousand words.

...and it's not ‘radical’ Islam, it's just Islam. One of Trump's greatest acts after being re-elected would be to take on Islam. Have open discussions and debates discussing what it means to truly be a Muslim and call it out for the anti-freedom scourge that it is. Muslims are breeding like rabbits. The sooner the confrontation, the better.

The gentleman who took on that Rep. Omar yesterday in the 9/11 ceremony.

Never forget... sadly, America never learned anything from what took place on 9/11.

Just look at what has taken place since 9/11 and where we are now as a nation concerning the threat of Islam and Muslim terrorists within our midst.

After all the Kumbaiya, flowery speaches, and “memorial services” were over, Islam and the socialist/communist left in and outside of America began a concerted, well laid, well financed campaign to promote Islam, NUTTER and SILENCE everyone proclaiming the FACTS and TRUTH about Islam, its blood thirsty founder Mohammed, its doctrine of violence, terror, conquest, and hate, and its blood soaked history.

While making Islam the wronged “victim,” and turning those expressing concern and exposing the genuine threat Islam poses into “the ‘REAL THREAT”: dangerous, “enemies of progress and enlightenment”; crazy Christians, and American flag waving “zenophobes” and “Islamophobes”,

Today, all over America, public schools and universities are openly, actively promoting Islam and indoctrinating our children and young people, while doing everything within their power to reject and stigmatize Christianity and America’s Judeo-Christian founding and heritage.

And the penultimate insult to everyone who died on 9/11, their families, and all of America: we now have Muslim congressmen who openly proclaim their antisemitism, and hatred for America, Christians, Christianity, Jews, and the nation of Israel while suffering no blowback, condemnation or consequences for their vile, hate-filled beliefs and rhetoric.

“Never Forget”... we never REMEMBERED. Tagline

His name is Nicholas Haros Jr. His mother was a victim of 9/11. His message was a powerful tribute to his mother and all 9/11 victims, and should have shamed Talib to hell (but she’s shameless, so it won’t).

Minnesota hasn't learned from the tragedy of 9-11.

Otherwise they wouldn't be sending idiots and enemies of the State to congress.

The wrong question is being asked. The right question is, “Did our enemies learn anything from 9-11?”

Obviously they did, and their agenda has been marching on aided by sympathetic leftists who want to destroy our country and the very fabric of our society.

Since all non-citizen Muslims have not been deported and all citizen Muslims are not under surveillance, no, we have not learned.

That's why the talks fell apart, according to The New York Times -- a response from inside the administration in the aftermath of a terror attack on American soldiers this week, a recognition of the obvious.

OK...our soldiers are on their soil. If their soldiers were on OUR soil, would it be terrorism if I were to attack them, or would it be patriotism? I think we are better off to get in, kill the bad guys and get out ASAP rather than be seen as an occupying force.

Your mileage may vary.

Every year we see the same question asked and answered. Every year the question is fair but the answer is wrong. Have WE learned to lesson of 9-11? The answer is a responding yes! But, we have also learned that the left is always busy aiding and abetting the Muslim terrorists who want to kill us. THEY are also united in their burning desire to destroy us. One other thing: Those of us old enough to remember Sept 12 will remember that the Democrat controlled media IMMEDIATELY started to attack Bush for not responding fast enough for them. The “unity” that never really was only lasted until the Democrats decided on the means and method of attack.
So, it’s us against the terrorist and their enablers on the left.

"Did We Learn the Lesson of 9/11?"

Hell no. 18 years later and we still have little old ladies being asked to remove their shoes before they can get on a commercial airliner, and there's still Muhammadans living in America.

Learn what? That we can’t trust our own government to tell us the truth about something as big as THE SAUDIS DID 911?

IMHO what is forgotten is how to make war. We have had a couple of generations of “neoconservatives” and associated ilk who pretend warfare has changed somehow. The formula for war is as old as mankind, I suspect, and that is, Invade enemy, seize their capital execute their leaders and kill everyone who raises a hand against you. To pretend there is some substitute and limited goals can replace the old formula is to invite disaster. The disaster we are now involved in. IMHO just get out. Out of Afghanistan, out of Korea, out of Germany and let everyone know on the way that we have remembered the old formula for war and if we have to come back there won’t be any “good guys” coming back. Their leaders will be executed and everyone that raises a hand against us will die. Of course, there will always be one “unruly child”. Make one hell of an example out of that one. That is the recipe for generations of Peace.

Pretty sure the Saudis involved were Royal Family which DOES make it “the Saudi Government.”

The libtards are always trying to find someone who will kill us on their behalf. Muslims, the ATF, they really don’t care who but they are absolutely convinced that someday, somehow they can do it. Sure, it’s a delusion but it is one they are pretty stuck on.

No, it does not.

The fact a royal was involved does not extrapolate to the government .
