Remembering the Victims of 9/11

FoxNews reports...

America grieved the victims of Sept. 11, 2001 Sunday, as friends and family members gathered for remembrances at Ground Zero in New York, Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., and Stoneycreek in Pennsylvania — the three sites of the terrible plane crashes, four years ago to the day.

In New York, family members gathered at the site of the World Trade Center tragedy to read the names of lost loved ones who perished in the attacks and observed four separate moments of silence to mark the time when each jetliner struck the towers and then when each tower fell.

In Washington, D.C., President Bush also observed a moment of silence while standing on the South Lawn, and a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington Cemetery began with the singing of the “Star-Spangled Banner” as many gathered to remember victims.

In Pennsylvania, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former Pennsylvania Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, Senator Rick Santorum and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell were to speak at memorial in Stonycreek for the victims of Flight 93.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers spoke at Arlington National Cemetery ahead of a wreath-laying ceremony at which "Taps" was played, as family, friends and coworkers gathered to remember those who lost their lives at the Pentagon and on Flight 77.

"Today we remember our troops in harm’s way … and all those who have served America throughout its history," he said.

“These patriots will not be forgotten,” Myers said.

Speaking at the ceremony, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld reflected on the day “terrorists struck at the heart of a free people,” killing thousands.

His voice breaking, Rumsfeld noted that the children of some of the 184 victims killed inside the Pentagon and aboard hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 on Sept. 11 were in his audience.

“… perhaps we can tell them this: Throughout human history there have been those who seek power through fear and mass murder but eventually all of them -- every one -- has fallen."

I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was going on vacation and I got a call from my daughter, in Georga, "Dad you have to see this!"

I saw the second plane hit the towers, it was a knife in the heart. I have a lot of friends in NYC, I hope every person killed in this act of terror is avenged a thousand fold.

Where's Scum Yeah screeching how the fascist Faux News didn't give reverent remembrance to the 10 glorious muslim martyrs who perished that day?

I gusee there's no keyboard up his Iman's ass.

Excuse me RR?

Arent you the guys who voted for the man who is "just not that concerned about Bin Laden"?

Scum:

Go away, this an American Moment.

i do believe that is the funniest thing Mr. Bill has ever said.

Posted by mattk [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 11, 2005 11:37 PM

That did not even make sense.

This is not the time or place for your out of context Bush-bashing quotes, asshole. RR...not the time for your crap either. Take your circle-jerk elsewhere while Americans remember this act of war.

Remember Christine Hanson on UA 175....3 years old.

I suppose this IS the place for quotes like this, eh Sarge?

"Where's Scum Yeah screeching how the fascist Faux News didn't give reverent remembrance to the 10 glorious muslim martyrs who perished that day?

I gusee there's no keyboard up his Iman's ass."

And how exactly can you take the quote "I'm not that worried about bin Laden" out of context? You can support his assertation, but it's pretty hard to take that out of context.

Gee Tom....did you read my post or did you just end it after the first sentence? Try reading it again and pay particular attention to the SECOND thing I said. Yes Tom...it's taken out of context if you actually take the time to go read the press conference it was from. Context is EVERYTHING and Bush further explains what he means. OR, you could just go off of one sentence a la UY and make yourself a little more stupid.

Posted by Sarge [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 12, 2005 12:51 PM

Actually, I did read after the first sentence, but did miss your RR comment. Sorry about that.

Posted by Tom Shipley [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 12, 2005 02:02 PM

>>This is not the time or place for your out of context Bush-bashing quotes

First off there is no acceptable context for what he said.

Either way this had been gone over here before and there was no context (you know all the rest) to excuse or explain what he said.

W and by extension you guys do not give a fuck about Bin Laden.

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 12, 2005 05:45 PM

Lighten up Sargie. This shit's supposed to be fun (despite the topic).

Posted by Radical Redneck [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 12, 2005 08:31 PM

Yes UY...you are nothing but a punk child. Guess you haven't actually read what he did say in full. There IS a context for everything and if yoiu actually read what he said in that press-conference, you'd understand. Of course, if you just go by your spoon-fed talking points...well, that's lal yougot. Take your baseless accusations elsewhere child. This hasa been gone over time and time again and every time you bail when the full context comes up...runnign like the child you are.

No RR, threads on the remembrance of the worst attack on US soil is not the place for "fun" sniping...and not the place for UYs out of context lies.

Posted by Sarge [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 13, 2005 11:41 AM

>>Guess you haven't actually read what he did say in full.

Have and I have done so before.

>>There IS a context for everything

Well thats true but many times the context does not matter, it certainly does not in this case.

>>...well, that's lal yougot.

Yes that is lal yogurt.

>>This hasa been gone over time and time again

Yes it has, BTW you been channeling Luigi?

>>and every time you bail when the full context comes up...runnign like the child you are.

Never happened.

So BTW Sarge are you truly not that concerned about Bin Laden?

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 13, 2005 03:36 PM

As already stated...this is not the place for your out of context lies. You have not read the entire transcript of that press conference or you'd not say the stupid things you say about it.

...and no, I won't play your Bin Laden game on this thread. You will twist what I DO say anyway because that's the punk you are.

Why don't you take a look at your skyline instead of spreading your spoon-fed lies?

The only explanation is that you have no need for remembrance.

mattk:

If my Greatgrand father would have had his way Ellis Island would have been more selective. In your case I can see the point.

What lie? Oh the truth that you do not wish to hear. So so sorry.

>>You have not read the entire transcript of that press conference

Yes I have.

>>If my Greatgrand father would have had his way Ellis Island would have been more selective.

One of my greatgranddads jumped ship, but he later became a citizen and served in wwi.

Weird how in that generation half my family were ex British soldiers and the other Irish patriots.

You seem to view it in no other except for political whoring.

Kill yourself. Go over to Iraq strap some explosives to yourself and take out some terrorists. Or you know brown people since they all seem to be the same to you guys anyway.

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 13, 2005 05:11 PM

What you THINK I "seem to be" is irrelevant to the truth. You are wrong. Ah yes, once again you do not actually have the balls to come and kill me yourself, you need my help. Any time you feel you're up to it pussy-boy...Ah yes...keep it up with that obsession #1, it was getting a little hungry and needed to be fed.

Yes...this is not the place for your out-of-context LIES. No, you have not read the actual press conference or you'd not stick to your same tired old bullshit that we've already gone over and you've conveniently dropped every time only to move onto the next asshole subject. Go actually, you know, read and comprehend what was said and then try to formulate the argument you want to and I'll be waiting to shut you the hell up with the truth and to point out your illogical lying. Of course, that's only if you have the intellectual balls and logical know-how to do so...which we all know youi don't so continue to waste everyone's time with your circle-jerk...ruining yet another thread.

Run along little child, take a look at the skyline on your way out the door....and take "you guys" with you. I do not have a mouse in my pocket.

Posted by Sarge [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 13, 2005 05:51 PM

>>Ah yes, once again you do not actually have the balls to come and kill me yourself, you need my help.

I figured if you were that dedicated to the cause you would have already gone that route.

>>No, you have not read the actual press conference

Yes I have. Care to retract that lie?

>>and take "you guys" with you.

Bush voter?

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 13, 2005 06:04 PM

>>you've conveniently dropped every time only to move onto the next asshole subject.

That never happened. Exactly what is wrong with you?

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 13, 2005 09:11 PM

Sorry...only punks like yoiu resort to suicide. Ah yes...ignore the truth. You'/ve never read the press conference and you damned well know it. Had you actually done that, you'd see exactly what he was talking about.

OR...you can continue your lie by taking it all out of context.

Care to kiss my ass for ruining yet another thread with your circle-jerk??

Still have nothing to say?

Posted by Sarge [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 14, 2005 11:19 AM

>>.only punks like yoiu resort to suicide

I believe that at least one person from every single demographic everywhere at any time in history has commited suicide.

>>you can continue your lie by taking it all out of context.

Again and this is the final time the context is irrelevant in this case.

>Still have nothing to say?

Loser.

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 14, 2005 05:55 PM

Context is EVERYTHING in this matter...and you STILL have not read the entire press conference or you'd not follow this illogical non-point. Of course, you'd have to read it with an open mind and an understanding of english comprehension.

Yeah, yeah...run off to the DU claiming some sort of non-voctory over nothing.

Posted by Sarge [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 16, 2005 02:05 PM

>>Context is EVERYTHING in this matter

Nope.

>>and you STILL have not read the entire press conference

Nope.

Care to stop lying?

>>Of course, you'd have to read it with an open mind

To arrive at your conclusion I would need an empty mind.

Posted by Um Yeah [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 16, 2005 05:41 PM

Nice...read the transcript. BUT, if all yoiu got's a bunch of ad hominems...THAT's all you got.

Others: WElcome to yet another installment of UY's circle-jerk of saying nothing.
