1 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

2 I might bold and underline that warning. Until today I had never seen that photo.

3 .......never saw that piture either....someones hand.....how sad.....never forget who did this........

4 The MFM embargoed pictures like that because we are children who can't be trusted,we might go out and harm brown people.

5 I hate that they have sanitized the images so we'll forget that our countrymen were brutally murdered. 

6

I composed this on the first anniversary of 9-11, with the intention of creating a video to accompany it. I have never really gone past the initial stages for the video, as I still react so viscerally to the images — my somber mood returns to white-hot rage at what this 7th century cult of death wrought that day. So this song remains as tribute to all who lost their lives on that horrific day, and especially for those who ran towards the catastrophe and showed how selfless sacrifice will always ring eternally over death’s empty sting.

7 Did Maet remove the link to the hand photo?  I don't think it needs to be removed.  The warning was sufficient.

8 Yikes!  Graphic, to say the least.

I never saw that one either.

9 May every filthy bastard that committed these atrocities, supported them financially or otherwise, or cheered when they occurred, rot in hell for all eternity.

And may the innocent victims, both alive and dead, find peace.

That is all.

10 I remember Beslan as well. Fuckers killed children. No peace until they rest in piss.

11 Ooops, my mistake.  I forgot which part was the clickable link.

12 I celebrate every missile strike orbomb or bullet that kills these enemies of humanity.

13 Maybe if they had shown more pictures there wouldn't be so many idiot truthers saying the it was missiles instead of airplanes that hit the towers and Pentagon. (Or maybe not--there's no cure for stupid.) The press and survivors described seeing bodies strapped into airplane seats on the streets of Manhattan, but no pictures allowed.

14 13 I think the death cult is going to bring that kind of death on themselves,soon.

15 We need to see pictures like this.  This is what hatred looks like.

16 You really ought to have this picture of Hussein with his nose in the air on the front page. http://i.imgur.com/FIZem.jpg

17 I've heard analysis that very few of the jumpers did so intentionally.  In the blinding smoke, confusion, and panic, they may not have even known where the windows were. Others may have been chased there by the extreme heat and flames.

It's too unimaginably horrible to question their actions

I doubt that was the media's plan to begin with, because I think they're too damn stupid to foresee a result like the formation of the Truthers just from not showing more pictures.  Even so, they're more than happy to play along.

The man from the NTSB who recovered the flight recorder from the plane that struck the Pentagon vividly describes walking over the carnage and bodyparts from the people on that plane.  The "missile strike" story fabricated by that French guy is just more nonsense created to obscure the truth.

Popular Science, of all places, ran an extensive story debunking a lot of the Truther myths perpetrated to confuse the simple minded.

23

 

But it is imperative that we publish pictures of every military coffin returning from overseas and harrass the family members with rude questions.

24 Some of the jumpers clearly jumped by choice if you watch the footage.Many certainly fell while trying to get fresh air.

32 I swear to Christ, I want every Muslim man woman and child on this planet DEAD! Fuck those animals. Fuck them all.

33 The idea that our military should be charged with winning the hearts and minds of an ideology that celebrates suicidal murder seems to me to be a colossal failure of a strategy from the start, and indicative of a willful ignorance of the true nature of our enemy.

39 18 I've heard analysis that very few of the jumpers did so intentionally.

That's understandable.  I don't think they should be called "jumpers" (as they are in that article), because we really don't know if they jumped.  We only know that they fell.  God bless those poor people and all of the victims and their families.

40 Until today I had never seen that photo.

I had not seen it, either.  But, I'm one of those people who think that all of this visual record should have been front and center these last 10 years.  We must never, ever forget.  And those who are politicizing this are far worse than those who simply choose to forget, or make it fuzzy.

It would also make one hell of a Mythbuster's show, just to see if it could be done.

47 If you missed it this morning 102 Minutes that Changed America is on again on History Channel at 9:00 Eastern tonight.  It's a compilation of footage from all kinds of witnesses to the attacks in NYC.  It is utterly devastating.  By far the worse for me is listening to the calls from the Towers to 911.

Again, it's brutal to watch but incredibly important.

We have overwhelming evidence-- including the newly-released tapes from the F.A.A. and A.A. and museum displays which feature parts of the planes. A few of the survivors from in and around the impact zone in the South Tower had pieces of the plane in their offices and there are scores of people who saw and/or felt the planes hit. If they don't believe in spite of all that, that's on them.

They are complicit in their silence and they can all burn in hell.

Yeah, I can't do that.  It's too hard.  Those poor people.  I don't know how their survivors can go on day to day with that memory.

I also remember hearing the recordings of people calling home from the hijacked airplanes and leaving farewell messages to loved ones on their answering machines.  I was struck by how calm and almost soothing their words were as they said their goodbyes.  I wonder if Krugman thinks they're fake heroes, too? 

59 No Pasaran has re-posted personal accounts during 9/11 in France.

Short version: though they weren't dancing and handing out candy, the French were every bit as giddy as the Palestinians about the blow made against the Great Satan.  The whole notion that the Chimpy McBushHitlerBurton squandered international goodwill is a crock of shit.

Blow me. If you have a problem with me be up front about it now.

69 No, they are not "jumpers." They are not "suicides." They were murdered, plain and simple. I want to believe that not all Muslims are of this vile ideology , but so few "moderate" Muslims have come forth to decry what happened that day that I fear they DO agree with it. Our soldiers have done amazing things winning hearts and minds, on their own, without being told to. They comfort frightened children, and bring the injured and sick to sick bays for treatment. They take care of stray dogs that the locals beat for fun, and find ways to bring them back as beloved pets in the US. They carry candy and small toys over and above their 70 pounds of required gear, so that they have something to give the kids they meet. And those kids run to them, knowing that those dusty, dirty, camo-wearing warriors mean safety. Sorry for the diatribe,but damn, I get so angry when our men and women doing good things get sold down the river by screw worms like Krugman and Kathleen Parker. Those two aren't worthy to wash their (the soldiers) three week old dirty underwear.

70 They scrambled from the first minutes to wash the image of that day.  They have never stopped telling us that we shouldn't talk honestly and openly about what we saw.

71 After 9-11, somebody made a video on You Tube of the Johnny Cash song "When the man comes around".  It featured Bush and the Towers and even the Palestines celebrating.  It was awesome, but has been taken down.

72 Probably won't post much after the football games tonight, but I hope I can get to Part 2 of The Path to 9/11.  I gotta pack for a trip but hell, I may not be able to sleep much anyway. . . .

this morning my eyes were filled with tears while they were reading the names and telling what the names meant to them, later i was filled with rage at what happened to our great Nation....... i just listened to the most peaceful and laid back song of all time. Bougainvillea,

well, my heart is still filled with rage and i want ever get over it......

84 peaches I empathasize i do.and i'm certainly not advocating that most muslims are peaceful. i was just encouraged that perhaps a handful of muslims are getting enough courage to do right, that's quite an endeavor it seems.
as this is something i have asked for for 10 years i cannot just ignore it when it actually occurs.

He said: 'I'm a Muslim. What they're doing is bringing shame on all Muslims.This is not part of the teachings of Islam.

'Islam is all about peace, but what they want to do is hate other people

85 although  "Islam is about peace" is a leap in my mind.

but heck any chance for someone to stand up and try is at least a start.

86 Already posted at the FB page, but I'll put it here too.

If you want to get pissed off more . . .

In the decade after 9/11, China (which America still thinks of as a cheap assembly plant for your local KrappiMart) built the Three Gorges Dam, the largest electricity-generating plant in the world. Dubai, a mere sub-jurisdiction of the United Arab Emirates, put up the worldÂ’s tallest building and built a Busby Berkeley geometric kaleidoscope of offshore artificial islands. Brazil, an emerging economic power, began diverting the Sao Francisco river to create some 400 miles of canals to irrigate its parched north-east. But the hyperpower canÂ’t put up a building.

Happily, there is one block in Lower Manhattan where ambitious redevelopment is in the air. In 2010 plans were announced to build a 15-story mosque at Ground Zero, on the site of an old Burlington Coat Factory damaged by airplane debris that Tuesday morning.

So, in the ruins of a building reduced to rubble in the name of Islam, a temple to Islam will arise.

87 , haha, not that i'm all melted butter, They have a long way to go before i would trust them collectively.
that;s not on me but their own behavior across the globe!

88 92 although  "Islam is about peace" is a leap in my mind

Yeah, I'd say if that's their intent, they're doing it wrong.  Islam seems to be first and foremost about oppression. 

89

He said: 'I'm a Muslim. What they're doing is bringing shame on all Muslims.This is not part of the teachings of Islam.

'Islam is all about peace, but what they want to do is hate other people

Well, yeah, willow, and I do understand what you are saying.  Living in LA, I know Muslims who are decent people raising decent families.  But that canard "Islam is all about peace" can only be spoken either as an outright lie or by someone who has never read the Quran and the teachings of Muhammed.  It is simply NOT true.

I've pretty much been avoiding the 9/11 threads because I don't trust myself to keep an even keel. It still generates an unholy fury in me all these years later, so I'll just stick with my standard 9/11 prayer.

Ammo for the warriors
Never forget
Never forgive

95 Islam is peaceful? Prove it.

yeah a huge issue.
as it is written  in such a way to deny it's basic murderous intent is to not be a good Muslim.

well said....... sometimes ya gotta put your foot down and say enough is enough...........

98 88 The SCOAMF is beyond despicable.

99 The answer to that, willow, is quite simple.  Every last "moderate, peaceful" Muslim has to find the backbone to stand up and denounce Islam and the Islamo-terrorists who are destroying this world we live in.  Which will never happen.  God only knows why, it seems pretty damn simple to me.

100 The incarnation of Islam that a lot of these folks follow results in the same sort of "peace" that one found at Auschwitz. 

However, I do not see how we can eliminate Islam.  I think the best we can do is counter it and contain it. 

101 101 Cur I like your prayer. Prayers for the fallen Ammo for the warriors Never forget Never forgive 911 inspired kum ba yah sends me into a fit of rage.

102 Just a thing about the pictures. We get angry with the MSM publishing photos/images of death and destruction in combat zones, but the author is upset that they won't show it when it comes to death and destruction in the US proper. Got to have some consistency here. But I remember that picture. I remember watching as we realized that some of what was falling were people. I just wish we were doing something more with what happened. Its like we've lost direction about what this means (e.g. Krugman's piece today).

103 I like your prayer, too, ITC.  Gonna remember it and add it to my nightly repertoire to the Big Guy. 

104 peaches their mindset is really inexplicable to me, with the renewed hate shown at this time.

I mean what hate at whom? those that died>?

what's their excuse then for africa? Indonesia, Beslan?

I think most of the objections are to invading the privacy of fallen soldiers' families while they are grieving.  I haven't heard many complaints about photos of combat casualties, although of course one could easily make the case that focusing on those could demoralize our troops and make them ineffective, risking lives. 

As for the 9/11 imagery, the images of people falling are not gruesome, nor would be images of the airplane seats and wreckage, properly framed.  Listening to the 9/11 re-broadcast on MSNBC (of Couric et al), I was amazed by how detached they were, especially at first, as if it never occurred to them that there were people in those planes. 

107 But that canard "Islam is all about peace" can only be spoken either as an outright lie or by someone who has never read the Quran and the teachings of Muhammed.  It is simply NOT true.

Posted by: Peaches

It is the peace of the slave. It is the peace of submission.

In Christianity, submission to Christ is not the submission to slavery, but the recognition that the pride of worldliness is a false shadow of the true Glory of  God. A perfect example of this "pride" today is the haughty vulgarity of the columns written by Pauly Krugnuts and Kathleen Park-whore. There is no humility or seeking of reconciliation among their fellow citizens, but only hateful disdain.

Submission or acceptance is the effort to live a Life in Christ, and to witness for Him in this world, to be charitable and kind, to friends and strangers both. For a Christian, to wear the crown of peace can also mean to wear the the crown of thorns. It can be a very rough personal road.

For a Muslim, submission means to become an obedient servant to a religion and worldly leaders that demands total adherence to its beliefs. In the strictest Islamic countries (such as Saudi Arabia), there are religious police dedicated to policing Muslim virtue, mainly by bullying women. This is not freedom or charity or an expression of conscious virtue, but a religion controlled by fear. It is the religion of the angry mob, or as our betters have described it recently, the "Arab Spring". Islam at its most naked - an angry surly mob looking for a fight.

In the times of Saladin, he was for a time a held as a hostage in the Christian Crusader held parts of present day Israel. He was astounded that Christian women would speak on their own and sometimes linger and talk after their husbands went elsewhere.

It is always comically appalling to me that modern Western women, of all people, would  knowingly give any aknowledgement or comfort to Islam, because it is and always has been slavery for women. It speaks broadly of their ignorance of culture and history.  There is a significant Muslim community in my town (Columbus), mainly Somalis, and it appalls me when I see their women in public in the full burkha, covered from head to foot.  It is repellant and frankly un-American to treat anyone this badly in public - and it is certainly NOT freedom.

108 Peaches, don't mind me I guess I'm having an internal dialogue with myself, overtly.

I was a teenager during the Viet Nam War.  Every night, America ate its dinner while watching b&w footage of the unbelievable carnage over there.  I truly believe that had a lot to do with all the anti-war protests and activity that went on.  And I think it was "lesson learned" for politicians of every stripe.  If they don't show it, most Americans will not seek it out and continue to stoke their outrage.

Speaking of which, did anyone notice that his wife was wearing a crescent shaped brooch of stars on her cocktail dress at the ceremonies this morning? This crew is all about symbolism, so this was no "I wasn't thinking about any such thing". Who wears a gaudy piece of jewelry to a memorial service anyway?

116 Peaches:  Well, we all know why - but maybe in some other (future?) America, they would have been.

117 I think AP's account is very moving, very accurate.   I would add that I remember how quiet it got with no planes in the sky.  I remember so so so many cars in the parking lot of the train.   Not moving for days until it hit you, they weren't coming back.  People's moms and dads weren't coming back.  People's friends weren't coming back.   I remember the candlelight vigil, seriously the entire town turned out praying so hard that our losses weren't as huge as we thought, hoping beyond hope that they would be miraculously found.  I remember my friend's mom, the history professor and devout roman catholic saying to my mom, "immediately I thought this was a religious war" and wondering what the heck she was talking about.   I have cried all day, the wound feels as real today as it did back then and I'm wondering why since don't they say it's supposed to get easier to deal with?

#31 "The New York City Coroner's Office has classified all killed at the World Trade Center as murder. "

And rightly too.  Which is why I wish the media would stop referring to those 3,000 people who "lost their lives" on 9/11.  We don't use that pansy formulation for any other murder victims, no matter how many.  Matthew Shephard didn't "lose his life" on that barbed-wire fence; Ted Bundy's victims didn't "lose their lives" when he turned his attention to them; they were all MURDERED, and we say it with confidence.  With 9/11, though, it's all soft-focussed, as if these people were just in the way when a tornado blew through town.  Nobody's fault, just as you can't blame a storm or a tidal wave - they were just "lost" somehow, nobody can quite say how.  Makes me mad as hell.

121 The fact we didn't bomb the fuck out of Mecca the very next day has always upset me.

125 I still get pretty angry when viewing 9/11 photo's.


The image of the WTC jumper in a superman dive is especially unnerving - he's wearing a business suit instead of a cape and he's not flying, he's falling to his death.
