This is a great article. Whittle sums up where we are after two years inspite of the lies and spin by the American agents of Islamokazis/facists/nazis:

"What, indeed, has this victory cost us to date, other than the irreplaceable lives of our young men and women, fewer in number still after two earth-changing victories than the number lost in a Beirut barracks during a time of relative peace and hidden yet growing dangers?

"Today, if it continues in its bland denunciations of the President and his policies, will be another day where New Yorkers can go back to suing each other over WTC memorials, where the Democrats can cry WMD and Quagmire to their heart’s content, and where life in general returns 1/730th of the way back to normal once again. For those too blind to see the magnitude of this victory, let them whine and seethe all they want. We are still here. We are still here, and far better off, then we were two years ago today, when entire countries were vast terror camps, and children’s cemeteries.

"The people that launched that horror, and those that supported it, and those that applauded it – that dwindling number of those of them that are still alive – have, to put it plainly, had their asses handed to them by the country they saw as soft, decadent, gutless and afraid.

But we have made a decision to fight back, and we are winning on such a scale as to leave future historians shaking their heads in wonder at how so many could be so wrong about something so obvious.

Many of us are shaking our heads now.

Ping.

I am daily reminded of what it means to live in a free America, where my children can go to school, where I am allowed to read anything I like, where my daughter is learning to say her prayers to her God. I don't take my freedoms for granted, today. And, I will never forget September 11th, 2001.

But, when remembering the dire predictions about how terrible the future could be, I remind myself that truly very little has changed in my day-to-day existence. And that most people, when looking into my life from the outside, could never pinpoint the date, by observing my actions.

America is strong and powerful, because of the goodness of its people. We must give thanks for the protection that we have today, while fighting to maintain our freedoms. Each and everyone of us contributes to the dream of America.

God bless.

So nice to see you again.

The debacle is the nine stooges who thrive on tearing down America, giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

Awesome celebration of this anniversary, Luis. Thank you!

Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: "We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls."
-Winston Churchill

Our people and our president have done a magnificent job in the face of nihilist horror. God Bless America.
