How Obama and Hillary Minimize September 11th | The American Spectator
By Aaron Goldstein – 9.10.15
They've overcome any inordinate fear of Islamic terrorism.
It is a fairly safe bet that President Obama and Hillary Clinton will mark the 14th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001 with kind words for those who perished in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania and their families. They will make a point of singling out the police and firefighters who lost their lives in the Twin Towers. They will also tell us that those responsible for the attacks do not in any way represent Islam. Upon uttering the usual platitudes they will move on to the next thing.
The next thing is invariably the same old thing. How long will it be before Hillary resumes the “War on Women” theme? How long will it be before she once again likens Republicans to Islamic terrorists? It was scarcely a fortnight ago, while speaking at a fundraiser in Cleveland, that she
declared, “Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States.” Frankly, it’s little hard to take from Hillary Clinton that she honestly believes that the 17 Republicans running for President are no different than the 19 hijackers responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people.
It’s also a little hard to take Hillary Clinton likening Republicans to terrorists when she bears responsibility for the deaths of four Americans at Benghazi. She also bears responsibility along with the rest of the Obama Administration for claiming that these deaths were caused by an Internet video. That these attacks took place on the eleventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks did not enter into their calculation. After all, there was an election to be won with the narrative of “bin Laden is dead, al Qaeda is the run.” After it was established beyond any dispute that it was yet another act of Islamic terrorism carried out against Americans, the best Hillary could do was to ask, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
