When we visit the memory of 9 11, we thread on sacred ground. 13 years ago the world watched on a clear Tuesday Morning as we suffered loss we could not possibly have imagined and witnessed heroism we will never forget. Today, we come together once more in reverence to those sacred memories, to help consecrate those Sacred Places where so many lives were lost and so many were saved. Were honored to have the secretary of the interior here, representative hoyer, president of the firefighters, my fire chief from california, so many distinguished guests who have sacrificed so much for our country, including max cleeland. Its so nice to be here with senator casey and representative shuster, the representatives of one of the areas so affected and with our speaker, mr. Boehner.

Countrys leadership at least, under the president , will wake up. Stop hurting the freedomloving egyptians that dont want the radical islamists support in egypt, back in charge of egypt. Dont help isis in syria. Dont help them in iraq. And if he had just signed the status of forces agreement that president bush had all but ready to sign, getting cute with that, so it fell apart, then we wouldnt be having all these problems today in iraq and syria hat we are. Hes getting horrible advice and its time for the to the take a hard look at who he really gets advice from, because the moderate muslims in the world dont want radical islam taking over and they dont, as theyve told me privately, like the people that this president has advising him.
