Revisionist history is very important for another Bush to surface. Give them time and this will be worst than September 11 2001.

I'm certain we will be hearing about 9/11 2001 well into the 2020s. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

It is clear to me that the right wing has tried to milk the attack in Lybia in the exact same manner that they did the US/ 911 attack. It makes me wonder what a coincidence the Lybian attack was on 9/11, which resulted in so much campaign chatter. They jumped right on that horse and have been beating it ever since. If they didn't orchestrate it then this attack was the biggest gift to the right... ever.

With respect to those who died in these event. I honor and salute you.

9/11, of course

7/7

Presumably that tie was why they attacked on that date

People think most naturally and easily by association, not logical coherence.
