The Pentagon is going to sponsor a large demonstration to mark the fourth year after September 11 (it doesn’t feel right to call it an “anniversary”), and the moonbats are already beginning to seethe: Pentagon to host 9/11 march, show. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon will hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of 9/11, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an unusual announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing yesterday.
“This year the Department of Defense will initiate an America Supports You Freedom Walk,” Rumsfeld said, adding that the march would remind people of “the sacrifices of this generation and of each previous generation.”
The march will start at the Pentagon, where nearly 200 people died on 9/11, and end at the National Mall with a show by country star Clint Black. …
The news … reignited debate and anger over linking Sept. 11 with the war in Iraq.
“That piece of it is disturbing since we all know now there was no connection,” said Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq veteran who heads Operation Truth, an anti-administration military booster.
Rieckhoff suggested the event was an ill-conceived publicity stunt. “I think it’s clear that their public opinion polls are in the toilet,” he said.
Rumsfeld’s walk had some relatives of 9/11 victims fuming.
“How about telling Mr. Rumsfeld to leave the memories of Sept. 11 victims to the families?” said Monica Gabrielle, who lost her husband in the attacks.
Rumsfeld’s kung fu remains strong.
