9/11 anniversary: Attacks made US stronger, Obama says

Gerald · 09-10-11, 12:56 PM

The United States is stronger 10 years on from the 9/11 attacks and al-Qaeda is "on the path to defeat", President Barack Obama has said.

"As a resilient nation, we will carry on," he told Americans on the eve of the anniversary of the attacks.

Sure wish the economy was as strong as it appeared to be ten years ago.

All I've seen is a stripping of rights and the general publics concern with those in uniform.

Congress has raped us and allowed the economy to go in the trash bin.
HomeLand Security is nothing more then the SS reinvented.
And the BS has just continued to grow with no real fixes in sight for the common person.

If any place needs a Civil War right now?
It's the U.S.A.!

I'm a little suprised at what you've posted there Steve because whilst readily admitting not to knowing much of your home front (countrywise) situation and having a plausable knowledge of how your economic situation is deteriorating (like so many other western countries, the UK included)....I honestly thought the 9/11 outrage had galvanised your country in terms of security and protection of the homeland

I'm most likely wrong but that was the impression I was under.

9/11 changed the whole world in a very bad way.

Granted it was what the Terroist wanted?
It provoked the fear that allows stripping of rights!

The U.S. of A. was a Country based on certain freedoms.
With the creation of HomeLand Security?
I see a new SS with all implied powers.

I do not want a Government that insures safty at the cost of personnal freedoms!

I understand that I may die if I ride my Triumph without a lid and have an accident.
I also understand that some loon on a plane may be a bomber and take that risk willingly when I fly.

What I take severe offense to is this so called 'for your safety' crap!
The SS now watches ALL our E-mails and much more!!
I for one do not want to live in a World that settles for this kind of intrusion into simple life.

So to salute the New SS?

Planned Bombing
Car Bomb
New York
Jehad

I expect a visit from my SS friends soon!

I agree 100%. So much has been done in the name of "safety"...the power grabs and surveillance...

The Patriot Act is a joke.

So how has the Patriot Act fared as a defense against terrorism? The act has been used in 1,618 drug cases and only 15 terrorism cases.
