Caught this unusual and stunning Sept 11th tribute from the UK’s Daily Mail today. Photographer, Norman Kent, had a birds-eye view as nine members of Team Fastrax released the flags at 10:28AM over the Middletown Regional Airport in Ohio on … Continue reading

The word “unique” is overused, but I think my experience on 9/11/01 may have been unique. I was actually on a plane, flying from Charlotte to Houston, when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. There were thousands of people in the air when the attacks happened, but what made my case unusual was that I was traveling on a business trip with a coworker, who happened to be Muslim.

Five years ago I signed up with the 2,996 project in which bloggers were assigned one of those who died on 9/11 to remember. I was given Aram Iskendarian. Aram was 41 the day he died. He was a vice president at Cantor Fitzgerald, where he headed the global risk management group. That day he would have been working on the 101st floor of building 1. Continue reading

Above, one of the stunning AP photos of the site of terror attacks ten years ago. While we are remembering all those we have lost, and again being wow’d by all those who responded so magnificently, enjoy more of the new site at the Daily Mail.
Yesterday leaders gathered first at the Pentagon and, later, in Shanksville to honor those who lost their lives. If you missed the very moving speech by President Bush, you can see it below. Continue reading

It was 19 Islamic terrorists. That makes the broken-circle memorial to Flight 93 a memorial to the terrorists, who are depicted not only as smashing our circle of peace, but as leaving a giant Islamic crescent-and-star flag in its place: Continue reading

You can’t make this stuff up
This Sept. 11, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks upon America, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg will dedicate the massive, $600 million National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. What Americans have not been told is that this “memorial” will remake Ground Zero so that it does not acknowledge 9/11.

You’ve got to hand it to the complete idiocy of someone like Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D). In one breath she says the killing of Osama made Americans feel like they weren’t “a loser” anymore: And so I think that there … Continue reading

Barack Obama has made an enormous error and squandered a magnificent opportunity. And perhaps we ought to be grateful.
As has been pointed out here frequently, Obama thinks of no one more highly than himself. Skook has referred to Obama as the Narcissist in Chief. Searching for “Obama ego” yields 17 million hits, such as: Continue reading

It’s amazing. We found Osama bin-Laden because of the Enhanced Interrogation Techniques authorized by the prior administration. Because of the captured terrorists imprisoned at Gitmo. Because of the intelligence agents who worked tirelessly, using all the techniques authorized by Bush, to find Osama.
And to this day Obama has discontinued placing prisoners in Gitmo, discontinued EIT’s, and is investigating the agents who got the information that allowed Obama to order the execution of Osama. Continue reading

“we don’t need to spike the football,” said Barack Obama in regard to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. Then Obama went out and spiked the football at Ground Zero and elsewhere.
Obama addressed the troops at Fort Campbell
(Reuters) – President Barack Obama, basking in U.S. public approval for the killing of Osama bin Laden, flew to a military base in Kentucky on Friday to thank special forces who carried out the deadly raid and led a rally filled with cheering troops.
As he rightly congratulated all those involved in the mission, Obama could not avoid the first person reference: Continue reading
