Shame On You And Your Pathetic Cowardice Acts

World Trade Center, NYC

Pentagon, Washington D.C.

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.
-President of the United States George W. Bush

Fitting Movie Quotes

Remembered...as the day that all of mankind declared
we will not go quietly into the night.
We will not vanish without a fight.
We will live on.
We will survive.
-Bill Pullman
-Independence Day
Terror is not a legitimate system of government.
And to those who commit the atrocities I say,
we will no longer tolerate, we will no longer negotiate,
and we will no longer be afraid.
It's your turn to be afraid.
-Harrison Ford
-Air Force One

Thank You to the men and women of the Fire/Rescue and Police involved in the rescue effort,
for the unwavering determination and deicationg to saving living in such a horrible situation.
Without you, all hope for survivers would be lost.
Rescue officials estimate between 100 and 800 people died inside the Pentagon
