JERUSALEM The 9-11 attacks were carried out because of a lack of "empathy" for others' suffering on the part of al-Qaida, whose terrorist ideology "grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair," Sen. Barack Obama explained in largely unreported comments eight days after the mega-terror attacks that rocked the nation.
Obama went on to imply the September 11th attacks were in part a result of U.S. policy, lecturing the American military to minimize civilian casualties in the Middle East and urging action opposing "bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle-Eastern descent."
"Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we, as a nation, draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy," Obama wrote in a piece about 9-11 published on Sept. 19, 2001, in Chicago's Hyde Park Herald

Rush mentioned this briefly today in his blasting of Little Barry, the arrogant jerk.
Unbelievable
Everyone else was outraged on Sept. 19 2001.
But not him.
“Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we, as a nation, draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy,”
...what an anti-American, Marxist, POS this twirp is. Why not approach the families of the victims of 9/11 with your tripe you dung beetle! People jumping from 80 story windows to escape 2000 degree heat, and this a-hole has the audacity to tell us that we should “draw some measure of wisdom”?! &%%$#@%&* GOD I HATE THIS GUY!
How can anybody take him seriously???
Hey! Hot today out in your neck of the woods?!?
BHO SCARES ME!!
You gotta wonder what this guy is thinking in the back of his head. You can fool some of the people some of the time but this guy has managed to fool the masses. If you question or disagree, you receive death threats. Wonder who is pulling his strings.
A Vote for McCain is a vote against Obama!
The terrorists are victims too. Upper-middle income and well-educated Saudis for the most part, but victims nonetheless.
Bush's fault
Not too many of us care about what our neighbors’ “descent” is -
we care more about their cultural standards and behaviors.
Say, if they’re a Muslim, and have a “holy” book that tells them that anything is OK as long as it advances Islam,
and that non-muslims have the choices of
conversion to Islam
submission to slavery
death
So after all this time we find out that all they ever needed was “Empathy as a Second Value” classes?
Just think of all the horror and heartbreak that could have been avoided if we’d just had the foresight to fund one more “guv’mint” program.
Al Qaeda lacks empathy?? Oh, no, Barry—they lack a great deal more than that, fool. They lack conscience and morality—foreign concepts to you perhaps given the leftist garbage that fills your mind... but there are such things.
These people are enemies, Barak and woudl kill more Americans if they could.
Obama is a commie pinko, a 20-year member of an anti-Israel church and a TROP sympathizer.
Of course he’s going to make some sort of excuse for the 9/11 terrorists.
He’s almost got it right. If he could just twist the knob another 180 degrees he’d have it.
911 grew out of a lack of empathy on the part of a group whose terrorist ideology grows out of a 7th century death cult, and their subsequent bigotry against anyone not of middle-eastern descent, or for that matter anyone who fails to kneel before them.
The proper response is to hunt them down and eradicate them where ever they run to.
Obama is no fool. He’s giving them a wink with such a statement while he tries to appear neutral to his moose limb buddies.
Does he mention that OBL was a multimillionaire? Probably not. Probably doens't even know.
No more than he knows or understands that these people eschew our "materialistic lifestyle" and are intent on bringing back the Caliphate - complete with the lifestyle of the 1400's.
Long before 9/11, they deliberately destroyed the roads, water systems, communications, etc, in Afghanistan and enslaved the Afghans...forcing them into a primitive society - the better to control.
We need to see that Hannity, Rush et all educate the sheeple on this -
the obaminations pontifications on this is misinformed, or - total and deliberate falsehood. I surmise the latter...
“Obama went on to imply the September 11th attacks were in part a result of U.S. policy”
Why don’t we just start blaming rape victims for being attractive too?
...among other things.
“grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair,”
Weren’t 15 out of the 19 hijackers Saudis who were college educated and from rich families?
Thats what the muslims and liberals do.
What is it that he and his fellow race-hustlers cry out every time that someone points out that it their culture’s behavior that leads to their hardship?
Oh, yeah... “don’t blame the victim!”
I don’t think Obama thinks of himself as running for the Presidency of The U.S. That’s just part of the process. I think he views himself as running for world leader. A world leader who is a neutral, impartial arbiter of disputes between nations. This is what happens when we lose all sense of nationalism because it has been held up for so long as an example of everything that is evil. Nationalism to the extreme that germany and Japan took it to is destructive. The complete lack of nationalism is also an extreme that is just as destructive and we are about to learn that lesson real soon in this country. Under Obama, a whole lot sooner than later.
Well, yeah - I suppose you could say that.
You could also just say that they are murderous b*st*rds that want to destroy any cultures that deviate from their version of satan-inspired islam....
But yeah, they certainly 'lack empathy for others'...
“Thats what the muslims and liberals do.”
Exactly! It’s the same damned mentality. The deranged mentality.
Oh, heck yeah. We're still getting an official reading of 100 at 10:30 p.m.
It was exceptionally hot today due to:
The normal blast-furnace climate of July
combined with
some blowhard junior first-term senator from Illinois coming here and spewing a bunch of hot air, raising our temps even higher.
;-)

Not only is Nobama a general idiot but appearently he can not read.
The reason for 9/11 have been pubically written and published by the terrorist.
9/11 happend because the Koran has directed them to kill all infidels, (that’s you Obama and the rest of us)
They seek to restart the 7th century. Their stated goal.
That a man running for President of the US is ignorant of these facts is very very scary..........
Oh really?????
Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S. would be a demonstration of moral strength.
Talking out his hat tellin big big lies. If this “say what they want to hear” phony, had even attempted a basic study of the Jihadist movement that ceated Al Qaeda, he’s know that most of it’s leadership, were’t “the poor”, but just the opposite. They were “fortunate sons” and wealthy religious fanatics who seek power and don’t care how much, or whose blood, they have to spill.
But falling back on the DemoCommunist idiot world view, Obama thinks he knows everybodys motivations, and conflicts and violence only comes from the “deserving poor”.
