President Barack Obama has paid a visit to "hallowed ground" at the Pentagon to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
He says it might be natural to focus on the searing images from "that awful morning" in 2001 when al-Qaida struck the U.S. and so many lives "were taken so cruelly."

They’ll have to hose the place down after he leaves.
touche
But Barry called it hollowed ground. Which is it?
FUBO Traitor.
Did he drop by on his way to a golf course, or taking his daughters out for ice-cream?
Barry doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Honest to Good God how did it come to pass that this utterly worthless piece of crap is in The White House? It’s Divine judgment on us.
“He says it might be natural to focus on the searing images from “that awful morning” in 2001 when al-Qaida struck the U.S. and so many lives “were taken so cruelly.””
Might?
It also “might” be natural to get upset with a religion that practices killing non-believers and supporters of western civilization.
I didn’t hear or see our caliph mention that.
Somewhere in the writ it says that you can’t visit New York during Ramadan. This is why he’s at the Pentagon.
(I’m joking)
I honestly can not take this crap today. I don’t want to see that POS. Islam IS evil.
I think I will have to stay away from the internet.
I didn’t see that quote at the site.
I may get flamed severely for this especially today but is all the ‘hallowed ground’ talk possibly a bit overdone and/or misapplied?
By this I mean that, in the words of WGN radio’s Mike McConnell, there probably isn’t a piece of dry land that didn’t see some form of savage fighting for ownership if you look at the length and breadth of time man has been on earth.
Small European countries could conceivably declare 90% or more of their land, cities, or battlefields ‘hallowed ground’ but that would leave them with precious little land left for practical uses.
The word ‘hallowed’ is synonymous with ‘sacred’ is it not? I think of sacred ground as any location that was visited by Christ or where acts of God are/were witnessed and I must say that I don’t regard a spot where vile subhuman dogs committed atrocities to be especially sacred. Granted, the term ‘hallowed ground’ has been cheapened over the years - even baseball and football stadiums are referred to in this manner.
None of this, of course, dismisses or discounts the loss and sacrifice of the 9/11 victims and families but I think that all the talk of ‘hallowed ground’ only serves the aim of the terrorists who want us to hold them in awe.
“I may get flamed severely for this especially today but is all the ‘hallowed ground’ talk possibly a bit overdone and/or misapplied?”
This is one of those concepts, which if you don’t understand it already no amount of explianation would.
But we can’t visit Mecca - go figure.
Good points all. Of course, you won’t ever see a Nazi condemm ing anti-Semitism either. How in the world did this happen, a Muslim in The White House?
Just stay away from TV. The images of the poor people falling are seared into my memory. I don’t need to see it anymore.God Bless America on this sorrowful day.
The 0bamanation of Desolation.
“Just stay away from TV”
I agree, cameraeye. I just can’t watch one more person fall from those buildings. It’s not people like us at FR that need to be reminded of what happened. Maybe a drone or two will tune in(after viewing and salivating over Julia Roberts munching pizza in Eat,Pray Love) and begin to understand the significance of the massive horror of what occurred to 3000 of our American heroes that day.
As for the brave victims who had to jump to get away from the heat and flames,I like to think that angels caught them and carried them to Heaven before they hit the ground.
