White House’s 9/11 Anniversary Guidelines Ask Officials to ‘Minimize References to Al Qaeda’

The White House has provided guidelines to government officials regarding how to observe and discuss the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. While there are certainly some beneficial recommendations held within, some may interpret the disseminated documents as more agenda-driven than not.
These instructions include information about how to honor the lives lost here in America. Additionally, they call for remembrance of the fact that Al Qaeda and other terror groups have also killed innocent individuals in other localities across the globe. Politico has more:
The guidelines detail what the White House has deemed the important themes that must be discussed, as well as the tone the 9/11 observances should take.
“A chief goal of our communications is to present a positive, forward-looking narrative,” the foreign guidelines state.
Again, these are worthwhile goals and ideals, but they may be viewed as something more sinister by President Obama’s political opponents. The Atlantic writes:
Though rebuilding support for the U.S. abroad is a worthy goal, it seems like these guidelines will fit in neatly with a popular meme on the right, that President Obama goes around the world and apologizes for how awesome America is. “Obama’s apology tour” has been debunked by The Washington Post and other places, but several Republican presidential candidates have made references to Obama’s supposed tendency to play down American specialness abroad. That events commemorating 9/11 will be “not just about us” seems likely to fit into that theme.
The guidelines came in two sections, each aimed at a very different audience. One, which was sent to American embassies and consulates across the globe, is intended to assist overseas allies and foreign citizens. In this document, the guidelines call for agencies to focus upon the global battle against terrorism. The text reads:
“As we commemorate the citizens of over 90 countries who perished in the 9/11 attacks, we honor all victims of terrorism, in every nation around the world. We honor and celebrate the resilience of individuals, families, and communities on every continent, whether in New York or Nairobi, Bali or Belfast, Mumbai or Manila, or Lahore or London.”
Interestingly, the foreign document states that officials should “minimize references to Al Qaeda.” Within the text, Osama bin Laden’s death is the reason given for this request. In what could be interpreted as somewhat of a political call to arms, the guidelines tell officials to place emphasis on the fact that “Al Qaeda and its adherents have become increasingly irrelevant.”
Additionally, foreign leaders are encouraged to highlight the notion that Al Qaeda played no major roll in the Arab Spring. Further expounding upon this ideal, foreign commemoration ceremonies should focus on the idea that Al Qaeda “represents the past” and that peaceful Arab protests “represent the future.” Clearly, there is a balance here that is intended to bring Arabs on America’s side, rather than being divisive in addressing the issues surrounding the attacks.
The second document, which was sent to federal agencies, is intended for individuals here in America. The guidelines presented within emphasize the need for national service in remembrance of the attacks, while highlighting what the U.S. government has done to prevent another major terror event from taking pace. The single sheet suggests that Americans “draw on the spirit of unity that prevailed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.”
According to The New York Times, one official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said:
“The important theme is to show the world how much we realize that 9/11 — the attacks themselves and violent extremism writ large — is not ‘just about us.”
And UPI writes:
One significant theme in both sets of documents is that Americans must be prepared for another attack and must be resilient in recovering from the loss. Resilience is a repeated theme of the communications.
There is no doubt that the U.S. is treading carefully, especially in issuing the foreign guidelines. With negative opinions about America festering in foreign nations, the intention held within the text seems to indicate that the U.S. wants to avoid alienating others, especially those in Arab nations. The attempt to diminish the Al Qaeda also serves the political purposes of instilling a sense of victory both at home and abroad.

Really, how can people be this stupid? Al Qaeda realized it was all about us, that’s why they took down the tallest monuments to capitalism in our country. And now our Muslim loving, commie President wants us not to mention the obvious, Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 12:32pmUechi, first off we don’t live in a Democratic Republic, we live in a Constitutional Republic. Learn the difference, because it is extremely important. In a Democratic Republic, the government can do whatever it wants as long as bureaucrats convince a majority of the people to give up their liberty for security. In a Constitutional Republic, the Constitution is a contract that grants the government certain powers which can only be changed by amendment, or by destroying the Republic. Second, you can’t just sit around and wait to vote anymore and you need to do something more than just get “friggin furious.” Start calling your representatives on a regular and frequent basis, make sure you take a car load of Conservatives with you when you go vote and be a pain in the butt at the local level (e.g., protest your property taxes every year, go to school board meetings and protest about the lies your children are learning in public schools, etc.).

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 2:34pm“America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths — Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others. Every faith is practiced and protected here, because we are one country. Every immigrant can be fully and equally American because we’re one country. Race and color should not divide us, because America is one country.”
That’s a direct quote from Barrack Hussein Obama, lover of Islamic terrorists. Shocking!
Oh dang, I got that wrong. Actually that was George Bush, several years after 9-11, in Parkside Hall, San Jose, California, April 30, 2002.
What George Bush got wrong was invading Iraq, a country with absolutely no connection with Al Qaeda. The cost? 5000 American lives and trillions of dollars and a still unstable country and the rise of Iran as the major military power in the Middle East. Oops.
On the other hand, President Obama has killed OBL and his second in command, as well as countless other Al Qaeda operatives with drone attacks. Finally, we’re going after the people who threaten us.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 5:58pmI don’t condone any relations with Al Queda at this time, or any time in the future due to vast ideological differences. But, One has to understand who they are, and why they did what they did. They did not want to attack America for being opposed to a worldwide Shariah law or caliphate. It was not because they disliked us going to strip clubs, eating bacon and downing tall-boys of Budweiser. It was because we have been invading the middle-east for nearly a century. We are the world’s bully. We play a huge part in the Military / Industrial complex. Allow me to put this into perspective for you.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 6:38pmI wanted to expound on my previous statement. I do not like Muslims. I understand people’s rage against them. They are dangerous. I agree Al Queda is our enemy, but I wanted to tell people why. They did not attack to implement a worldwide caliphate. They understand for that to happen, it would take decades at best, probably centuries. I just wanted to show people if the table were reversed. patriot Americans that attacked their invaders would be looked at, in the same light as the Islamic extremists are. I want to say I am not PC.

We also need to take the responsibility to get them out of our local gov and school boards so our children can begin to hear the truth about America. I am sick of all the lies from the PC, and the MSM. 9/11 was real and we have every right to mourn our loss as a nation ought. To h*ll with your political correctness Mr. President!! We were attacked and no one who died deserves the disrespect that these guidelines from the WH show, in not calling it what it was. Innocence died that day and we must never forget what happened, no matter who wants to deminish it. BHO and Mayor Bloomberg…..Your opinion on how we should observe and remember this tragedy coupled with the suggestion to not be fully accurate in our discription of this cowardly act is an outrage to

Posted on August 31, 2011 at 11:00pmWhen Osama bin Laden was killed, my husband’s niece expressed her concern for his mortal soul. While our sons, her cousins, were serving our country, one in the Marines in Afghanistan and the other as a Police Officer in our home city of 200,000. She prayed to God to save him, that he should enter Heaven. When my husband protested, saying that OBL would have no problem killing either of her cousins and asking had she mourned the passing of those on 9/11 and prayed for their mortal souls as fervently, she and the rest of her family became estranged from us. (My husband’s niece is a Bible-thumping Baptist who is married to a seminary student and she says she has a difficult time being a Christian AND an American.) Here’s the point. Not all Christians agree about everything. I’ve been a Christian for a very long time but I have never found myself “conflicted” about my country.
The sacrifices of our sons, like all military and first responders, are not something they take lightly. Surely they are on the side of the angels. As we approach the 10th anniversary of 9/11, it is wrong that New York’s finest and bravest should be denied access to the remembrance. This is NOT a time for political correctness.
My Mom always said, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Stand up for America. Thanks for the lesson, Mom.
God Bless America

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 3:59pmThey will always be relevant because it only takes a few nut-jobs to kill hundreds or even thousands. We can kill 4998 out of 5000 of them and the two left can strap on a vest and blow up a whole block. These freaks hide out in caves and live like barbarians so we will never know how many they really have. The day we say they are irrelevant is the day they come out of thier rat hole and and kill inocent people. August was the deadliest month yet in Afghanistan. All im saying is we should never put our gaurd down.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 11:25amThe Tea Party has proven they are the enemy to the hero’s of 9/11. The Tea Party supported the congressmen that voted to block aid to the first responders.
Obama could crow about the fact that he got results, that Bin Laden and Al Queda’s #2 are just notch in his belt today, as W. would have. No, the White House is correct 9/11 is not about Al Queda or playing to the Bigotry of the hate filled Tea Party, 9/11 is about its victims and survivors.
The Tea PArty needs to bow their heads and beg every first responder for forgiveness and then disband.

REALLY……….to Islam, we are only “The Great Satan” that has to be culturally destroyed. Of course it is about us. The 10 year limitation on their “Hudna” is up 9-11-11. That is why more attacks are expected. How dumb does this government really think we are?? Apeasement from this administration is really working out well for us, isn’t it?

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 3:22pmTea Party against 9/11 First Responders:
Recently Tea Party Republican Tom McClintock (R, Elk Grove Automall) voted against the final version of HR 847, James Zadroga 911 Health and Compensation Act on Dec 22, which passed the House anyway, 206 to 60.
http://my.auburnjournal.com/detail/167799.html
Mr. Giuliani capped several days of withering criticism from all corners of the political spectrum as it appeared that Congress could depart for the year without voting on the first-responders bill because of Republican efforts to block it.
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/22/how-did-republicans-end-up-against-911-responders-bill/
Bachmann and the other members of the Tea PArty voted against the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll491.xml
So, the facts are clear the Tea Party puts dollars and sense and politics before the 9/11 first responders.
