The Bombing Of The Uss Cole

September 11, 2001 (herein referred to as 9/11) was a day in American history, which will be remembered as the most horrific attack on American soil. This attack, carried out by nineteen Islamic extremists, was associated with al-Qaeda, and involved the hijacking of four airplanes. Two of those airplanes were hijacked and flown directly into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. The third plane’s target was the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the fourth plane was brought down in Pennsylvania where it is believed the passengers aboard fought the hijackers. This horrific day in history cost over 3,000 people their lives, and was labeled the worst attack on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, altered American 's perceptions of the role in the world by strongly supporting the increased spending on national security and counterterrorism. Also, Americans have become more aware of how and where to engage in the world. As a result of the attacks, the US now has a defense that totals to nearly half the global total and has military dominance over scene, air, and space. The US also has the capability to dispatch massive military power anywhere in the world making them the system shaper. You may ask yourself just have a bad or do you check on September 11, 2001 was that led to this chaos and security becoming abnormally tight you may ask yourself just have a bad do you check on September 11, 2001

Bush waged the controversial “Global War on Terrorism” which turned out to be a self-inflicted wound for America, bleeding still today. Bush’s highly-criticized decision was inconsistent with the strategic principles of war.

On September 11th, 2001, the worst terror attack on US soil took place. 19 people associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda took 4 airplanes and carried out suicide to kill people in the United States. Two of the planes hit the World Trade Center, another plan hit the pentagon just outside Washington, D.C, and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

The September 11th terrorist hijackings and attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon caught the United States largely by surprise. Once the dust had settled, and the shock and horror of such an unprecedented event had waned, the American public began to ask questions. Names such as Osama bin Laden, countries such as Afghanistan, and organizations such as Al-Qaeda were brought into the public's consciousness for the first time. Through newspapers, talkback radio and television programs the nation asked ‘why do they hate us so much?' Others, such as those in the government and public service, asked ‘what could we have done to have prevented this?' It is

Their plan to invade America began on the morning of September 11, 2001 when 19 militants hijacked 4 American Airline planes and were targeting attacks in the United States.

We will never forget that 17 of our Sailor 's died during a routine refueling stop conducted by the USS Cole. The bombing of the USS Cole (DDG 67) and the subsequent implementation of Anti-Terrorism Force Protection measures are important to our Navy heritage because it is a reminder that vigilance can avert future attacks. Whether in the maritime domain, or in support of operations ashore, Senior Navy Leaders are a key player in ensuring that Anti-Terrorism measures are followed to protect yourself, Sailors ' under your command, and all Navy personnel. This paper will cover the history of the bombing of the USS Cole (DDG 67), the evolution of Anti-Terrorism Force Protection and the effects upon current U.S. Navy operations.

September 11, 2001 will forever be known as an infamous and tragic day Americans will unquestionably remember. On this day, three planes filled with innocent civilians, were hijacked and crashed into significant sites. The three places the hijacked planes collided with were the Twin Towers in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. In addition, the terrorists orchestrating the whole attack scheduled a fourth plane to collide into another aimed target. Fortunately, though unlike the other hijacked planes, the mission was unsuccessful. The passengers on the plane fought against the terrorists and eventually surpassed their power, landing the plane in Pennsylvania. Though this may have been a slight victory and prevented worse outcomes, it did not outweigh the devastating results of the collisions. Inside the Twin Towers and the Pentagon,

The attack on USS Cole was a suicide bombing conducted by Al Qaeda member, Ibrahim al-Thawr and Absullah al-Misawa under the supposed supervision of Bin Laden which resulted in the death of at least 6 American sailors and left 40 other individuals injured (BBC, 2000). In response Clinton stated before that any assaults could be launched against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan that the CIA or FBI had been sure enough that they ‘would be willing to stand up in public and say, we believe that Bin Laden…’ was behind the attacks (The 9/11 Commission Report, pp 191). However Clinton was never met with this definitive answer he was after and no covert action was taken against Al Qaeda in response to USS Cole. The bombing galvanised Al Qaeda’s recruitment
