Obama's 9/11/09 commemoration speech. "Muslim terrorists? What Muslim terrorists?"

The full text of President Obama's remarks can be found here.

As President, my greatest responsibility is the security of the American people. It is the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning. It's the last thing I think about when I go to sleep at night.  That responsibility is the heart of the policies my administration has put in place. (ed.note: o rlly?  You sure could have fooled me.)

It's interesting.  After looking at the text of the speech and counting the usage of the following words - you'd almost think WE attacked ourselves, wouldn't you?

Use of 'Islam' and its variants, 'Islamists/Islamic/Muslim': 0

Use of 'Terror' and its variants, 'terrorism' and 'terrorist/s': 2

Use of 'extremists': 2
 
Use of 'al Qaeda': 1

Use of 'attack' and its variants, 'attack/s/ed/ers':  6

Use of 'America/American/United States: 6

Use of Military/Army/Marines: 5

Use of 'WE' and its variants of 'our/ours/ourselves': 44

Use of 'I' and its variants 'me/my/mine': 9
