Sixteen years ago, on September 11, 2001 Americans awoke to
the morning news reporting a hijacked airline was flown into one of the then
existing towers of the World Trade Center. Then if you were watching your TV a
certainty was realized it was no accident when another airline flew into
another tower of the World Trade Center.
All of a sudden the news was reporting other airlines had
been hijacked and we later learned that one flew into the Pentagon and another
mysteriously crashed in Pennsylvania.
Then the news reported that Islamic terrorists belonging to
a group of terrorists called al Qaeda perpetrated the attack. Then we were told
the Muslim in charge of these terrorists was Usama (aka Osama) bin Ladin. Bin
Ladin was holed-up in a nation most Americans barely knew about called
Afghanistan. If you did know about Afghanistan it was because you were a news
hound in the ‘80s aware that our Intelligence services were helping a group of
Muslims rebel against their Soviet controlled Communist government. The irony
of our aid to these Muslim rebels: Usama bin Ladin – a Saudi national – learned
or earned his chops fighting the Soviets propping up the Afghan Communist
government.
Justin Smith has submitted a bit of a memorial which will
give the reason why we are at war with Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan who too
often sneak across the border to Pakistan to regroup.

America Clearly Remembers September 11
The Depths of Inhumanity
By Justin O. Smith
Sent 9/6/2017 12:36 PM
Sixteen long years have passed, since the clear blue sky
above New York City exploded in a fiery inferno, toxic smoke and the stench of
burning flesh and death on September 11, 2001, and for many, the memories of
the murder of nearly three thousand Americans, friends and relatives and fellow
countrymen, remains as fresh as this morning's dew. Those of us, who remember
all too well, have the solemn obligation and duty to ensure America's future
generations do not soon forget, that Islamic jihadists struck the single
deadliest attack on U.S. soil by any foe since the War of 1812.
Two thousand nine-hundred and seventy-seven (CNN Library) Americans
never could have imagined the horror they would soon face the morning of 9/11,
as they headed to work at the Twin Towers. Their thoughts were filled with
work, schedules, and perhaps returning home to play softball with their
children or having dinner with a fiancee, or a husband or wife.
It was 8:46 a.m. (EST), when nineteen Muslim terrorists,
following the edicts of the evil ideology of Islam and their false
"prophet" Mohammed, flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the North
Tower of the World Trade Center. Seventeen minutes later, 9:03 a.m., Muslim
terrorists hit the South Tower with United Airlines Flight 175, and 34 minutes
later American Airlines Flight 77 flew into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
People jumped and fell from all four sides of both towers.
There's no way of accurately telling how many people died this way, but the
horror they experienced just before their deaths is unimaginable, as they
plummeted towards the earth at 150 miles per hour.
The end to this heinous attack and the final blow arrived,
with the horrifying news that United Airlines Flight 93 crashed, while its
passengers bravely fought the terrorists. From start to finish, nearly an hour
and a half had elapsed. By 10:03 a.m. nearly 3000 innocent Americans -- loved
ones, friends and neighbors -- were dead.
Set aside any emotional impulse to block 9/11 from one's
mind and embrace the gut-wrenching memory. Remember that America was attacked
because of Her freedom and liberty and Her stand against oppression and tyranny
worldwide. And there are many other things America should never forget, while
we lower the flag, lay wreaths and ring bells in memory of the dead this
September 11th.
Never forget, America received many warnings that a clash
between Islam and the West, a clash of civilizations, was on the way, with
tragedies like the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon and the U.S.
Embassy in Kenya and the suicide bombing attack on the USS Cole. We were even
informed ahead of 9/11 that it was coming soon.
The first real warning occurred on February 26, 1993, when Ramzi
Ahmed Yousef, master bomb-designer, detonated a bomb under the World Trade
Center, on orders from Al Qaeda's Blind Sheikh, that carved out a
stories deep crater, injured a thousand people and killed six. The bomb was
supposed to kill thousands by releasing a cyanide cloud, however, the explosion
incinerated the gas.
Omar Abdel
Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheikh'
Never forget, since 9/11, at least thirteen Islamic inspired
terrorist attacks have been carried out across America, by Muslims following
Mohammed's "perfect" example, such as we witnessed in the Boston
Bombing, the D.C. sniper murders, the shootings at the Jewish Federation of
Greater Seattle, San Bernardino, Chattanooga and several others. There have
been numerous attacks by Muslims that the press refuses to call
"terrorism", and there have been scores of terror plots and attempted terrorist acts foiled by the
authorities.
Never Forget, the nineteen Muslim terrorists were able to
attack America on September 11, 2001, because they were trained and funded by
Wahhabist imams and members of the Saudi Royal Family, as revealed by the 9/11 Commission Report. And
recall, that they also had some large degree of help from Shiite Muslims in the
Islamic Republic of Iran, having spent significant time in Iran between October
2000 and February 2001.
The fires of that September morning burned for 100 days and
moved America to seek an accounting from these Sons of Allah in wars we are
still fighting. Islam is at war with Western civilization, Europe and America,
just as Islam fought us (infidels and Westerners) under the Ottoman Empire, or
a thousand years ago, now that Islam is in a new ascendancy.
America is still in an ongoing war against us, being waged
by Islam, its imams and jihadi terrorists, who want to do the very same thing
today that they did sixteen years ago, except on a grander scale.
The United States intelligence community acknowledges that
all Al Qaeda and the Islamic State have had some recent, if limited, success in
acquiring chemical weapons,
like anthrax, VX nerve agents and ricin. More troubling and dangerous, they
seek nuclear weapons, as Graham Allison notes in a policy brief for
Harvard's Belfer Center; and though many may see any success towards this as
unlikely, it is certainly not implausible, given Iran's, Pakistan's and Saudi
Arabia's duplicitous, self-serving roles in the "war on terror".
No one ever envisioned jet airliners would be used as Muslim
terrorist's instruments of death against us, however, September 11th brought a
new visual reality, as officials sworn to protect America were forced to stare
into a vast, smoking pit scooped out of lower Manhattan. As then National
Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice repeatedly stated: "If you were in
the White House that day ... every day since has been September twelfth. And
your great fear is that it may be September tenth."
In his book 'The Field of Fight', former Director of
the Defense Intelligence Agency, Michael Flynn wrote: "We're in a world
war, but very few Americans recognize it, and fewer still have any idea how to
win it."
Americans have the agonizing images of the horrible and
unimaginable calamity of September 11th seared into their minds and hearts. We
never forgot the lives so brutally and callously cut short, the children who
lost mothers and fathers, and the sorrow that followed; and, we clearly
remember the depths of inhumanity to which these Islamic terrorists are willing
to sink, as we ring the bells, read the names and honor our dead: September 11,
2001 forced many Americans to the understanding, that America must gather the
strength and courage to stop Islam's violent ascendancy and expansion, at home
and abroad, by driving their "holy warriors" into the ground, killing
them, and even killing their families, until they grow weary of death and make
war no more, if that is the only way to end their insanity.
