[history]
The smell dominated lower Manhattan and south Brooklyn for weeks - sulphurous, nauseating, inescapable.
Remember the sky - the billowing black gash that cut through it all the way to Governors Island, a grotesque rip in the city's canvas?
And the unholy glow that marked Ground Zero itself, a seething underground furnace consuming everything combustible in the remains of two skyline-defining, now collapsed, office towers?

The worst thing we will ever have to remember. Here's to a future of never again another 9-11 in our beloved country.

So you begin to forget
Podhoretz is right on with his points. It isnt just the elite who are beginning to forget. Bush poll numbers are not comprised only of elites. With the mainstream media trumpeting every day that Ashcroft and Bush are the nations real terrorists, the sheeple begin to believe the big lie. That is exactly what is happening, even if it is slowly..

YES.
I keep saying this, but no one really sees it as a threat.
Many Americans rely on the alphabet channels for their news.
The media, 95% liberal, with bash Bush for 13 more months, each more intense than the last.

With the mainstream media trumpeting every day that Ashcroft and Bush are the nations real terrorists, the sheeple begin to believe the big lie. Let's not concede the word mainstream to the lefty unamerican newsagencies. I am on a campaign to regain control of our language from the left.
I refer to them as Big Media, with emphasis on 'big' as they do with 'big' oil!

Thank you kattracks for faithfully finding and posting these terrific articles daily.
Thank you, every Freeper who finds, reads, shares, bumps the good news from Iraq, all who fight, pray, are there on bad days and good, who rally others and debunk the critics, who love this country and know why we fight.
Lord, bless this group of courageous wackoes, and protect our country and all our men and women in harm's way today.

thanks, i was just about to post this myself. this should be required reading by all students and young people. it may be too late to get the defeatist left to re-engage their reasoning skills, but not for those still setting their political compass.

The reason our sons, daughters, husband & wives are stationed a half a world away and cannot be with us this day. Very well put. Thanks to you and all the families for their sacrifices, making 9/11 even that much more painful for many Americans.

That's why we went to war in Iraq: To make sure 9/11 is the worst thing we will ever have to remember.
Great article. Does anybody have a link to this article:
The evidence is there, detailed devastatingly by Stephen Hayes in the September 1/8 issue of The Weekly Standard.

This is my take on how the media is ignoring the aims of our enemy and what we can do about it.
Keep up the great work RC.

Thanks, but I was referring to the Weekly Standard article he mentioned in the highlighted quote. I missed that one.
