President George W Bush has enlisted British special forces in a final attempt to capture Osama Bin Laden before he leaves the White House. Defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. “If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place,” said a US intelligence source. Bush arrives in Britain today on the final leg of his eight-day farewell tour of Europe. He will have tea with the Queen...

They came from far: Pakistan, Lebanon and India, organizers said. And from near: 80 percent were African Americans from Philadelphia --snip-- The free event was part of Peco Energy Co.'s Multicultural Series, featuring youth groups, drill teams, schools and community organizations from across the region. The recent allegations that Islamic radicals planned to attack Fort Dix or destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport were not part of this celebratory day. The only security was from those normally working at Penn's Landing events and from the Muslim community itself. "The Bush administration is instilling a lot of fear," said Willie Williams,...

This photograph taken from a CD purportedly by al-Qaida militants in India shows a masked man sitting beside an automatic gun reading a statement by Abdul Rehman al-Ansari, purportedly the chief of al-Qaida Fil Hind or al-Qaida in India, received by Current News Service in Srinagar, the main city of India's Jammu-Kashmir state, on Friday, June 8, 2007. A group claiming to represent the al-Qaida terror network declared a holy war on India over its control over part of the divided Himalayan region of Kashmir, Indian officials said Saturday, adding that they were taking the threat seriously. Word at the...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new survey shows Arab attitudes toward American people, products and culture grew increasingly negative last year, a finding that underscores the need for a change in U.S. Mideast policy, a leading expert on the region said on Thursday. James Zogby, the head of the Arab American Institute, said the annual survey of opinion in five Arab countries found that U.S. policy toward Iraq and the Palestinian conflict were the main issues driving deteriorating Arab opinion. "Our policies have not only had a worsening impact in terms of attitudes toward us but also in dampening confidence in...

Billed as the largest 9/11 commemoration in the western United States, the event was part patriotic rally, part picnic in the park and part candlelight vigil.

Even on the very day of 9/11, this is what you get from DU moonbats: Dangerman (837 posts) Mon Sep-11-06 11:44 AM Original message I'm going to have a hellish night tonight. I am working at a local sports arena tonight and there will be a pre-game speech about "We are going to win the war on terror." and some patriotic songs and that song "God Bless America" in the bottom of the 7th. The last two 9/11s when I work there, I started shouting "bull!" and felt like I am going to tantrum. Why they are still going some...

NEW YORK - "The Path to 9/11" will break your heart. It will leave you unnerved, even more than before. And angrier than ever. A five-hour miniseries that dramatizes a decade's worth of events leading up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, this film is plenty gripping. It doesn't forgo artistry for polemics.Even so, it drives home, step by step, a message any viewer can understand: The people in charge of keeping you safe failed the nation monumentally. Systemically. Shamefully. And continue to, five years after what should have been a terribly sufficient wake-up call.Then "The Path to 9/11"...

Ward Churchill is returning to the Midwest on October 20th. This time, he is going to a much more liberal bastion, Depaul University. He is not welcomed there by most of the people, however. We will be assisting local freepers and Depaul College Republicans in showing, once again, that fake indians who dishonor the victims of 9/11 and our troops are not welcome. Here is a flyer from Depaul University detailing when ward churchill will be coming, and where to go.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- The Pakistani roommate of a man authorities say died when he detonated an explosive device outside a crowded football stadium was led in handcuffs from a party shortly after Saturday's explosion, the head of an Islamic student group said. Fazal M. Cheema, a finance major, shared a university-owned apartment with Joel Hinrichs III, 21, who died Saturday when a device attached to his body exploded as he sat on a bench outside George Lynn Cross Hall. Cheema and three other Muslim students were led in handcuffs from a party by police after the blast, Ashraf Hussein,...

Do I feel safer because we've spent $300,000 ousting a tinpot dictator from a country that didn't threaten American freedom? No --- but I feel a h-ll of a lot less safe in my home because the Supreme Court says it's ok for government to seize it and give it to some politically connected friends of politicians. Has Bush said ANYTHING about the Supreme Court's outrageous eminent domain decision last week? I want to hear about THAT, not another speech about the mess in Iraq.

I know anything coming out of the Teutul probably will illicit a lot of strong emotion ("OCC sucks! West Coast Choppers and Jesse James rule!", "Eff you!", "No, eff you!"), but everyone has got to check out the Statue of Liberty Bike, it is awe inspiring (hopefully, the President will sit on it during the convention - that'll be a slam dunk). Here it is (click here to see the details):

It's no mystery why President Bush and his campaign aides have fought so hard to establish the legitimacy of their TV ads that include scenes from the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. When the commercials came under criticism from survivors of some of those killed by the terrorists and also from some members of the firefighters union, Republicans rushed to insist that the visual references were well justified by the significance of that day for the country -- and for the Bush presidency... But is it, as supporters of John Kerry and other critics suggest, wrong for...

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic made no formal plans to meet as a group this Memorial Day Weekend. Many groups were gathering for services, ceremonies and demonstrations throughout the Washington, D.C. area. The members of Rolling Thunder gathered in hotel parking lots throughout D.C., Virginia and Maryland before making their annual trek to D.C. and the Mall. My family was at one of these hotels and it was full (hundreds of motorcycles lined up) of people dressed in red, white and blue getting ready to leave for D.C. Other memorials services were held throughout the weekend at the Mall,...

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, March 21, 2002) -- More than 400 chaplains and chaplain assistants recently assembled a stain glass window to be hung at the Pentagon later this year in honor of the Sept. 11 victims. Each chaplain and chaplain's assistant was given a numbered piece of glass to place in the window frame during the Chaplain Corps Annual Senior Leadership Training conference at Hilton Head, S.C. in early March. "Through creating this stained glass window, we will express our faith as well as honor those we remember who were taken from us," said Chief of Chaplains Maj....
