An excerpt from the video:<br><br>
<dl>
<dd>"They grew ever more bold. Their call was:
<dd>"On those who believe in God and hopes for reward to obey God's
command to kill Americans"<br>
<dd>And kill us they did. This time on American soil. The
date was September 11 - 911. This enemy, sworn to our destruction,
has been at war with us for decades. This we now know.
Jihadists are still intent on attacking civilization - freedom - the very
soul of America.<br><br>
<dd>It is a war we never chose to fight. And for too long, we have
looked the other way. But the enemy is wrong. This is a war
America will win. We'll have a President who knows how."
</dl>For me the message could not be more clear. Just as we need visual
history of other wartime tragedies (Pearl Harbor, the 39th parallel,
Beruit, Czech invasion, Georgia Republic, Holocaust), so we have the need
to be sure this blatant attack on America is never forgotten. It is
modern history and yet, already we have groups within our borders which
attempt to persuade us that 911 was a government conspiracy. And
the notion that political parties should not utilize video to engage
Americans in a reminder of the event is naive at best.<br><br>
And your hypocrisy is so blatant - your "world view" is so
skewed. Where is your "outrage" at the bilge spewed by
Michael Moore. Why have you not condemned MoveOn.org for their
endorsement of his film during the 2004 presidential campaign.<br><br>
As for Olbermann comments - pure pander.<br><br>

Apparently, you don't understand that what happened to America
belongs<br>
to America, and that it's a tragedy, not a political bludgeon to be<br>
used by one party against the other.<br><br>
