Via Newsbusters, 60 Minutes Andy Rooney, speaking for the left on the eve of the fifth anniversary of 9/11.
Yeah, “It was our fault”!
‚ÄúThere have been a lot of memorable days in our country’s history, but some of them we’d rather forget. September 11th, 2001 is one of those. It isn’t a day to celebrate, but it’s a day we shouldn’t forget, either.
‚ÄúWe need some word other than “holiday” to call some of our memorable days. Pearl Harbor, December 7th 1941 was one of the worst days in our country’s history. The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated was a bad day. It was the death of just one man, but JFK was so very American that we all died a little when he died.‚ÄúPresidents James Garfield, William McKinley and of course Abraham Lincoln were all assassinated. If you’re the President, you must think about them every time you go out in public. I hope we’re more careful protecting our President now. The Wall Street stock market crash in 1929 was a different kind of disaster.
‚ÄúWe went into Iraq March 20th, 2003. They won’t be closing the banks on March 20th every year to celebrate that. The Three Mile Island nuclear disaster in 1979 might have wiped out our civilization. Most of our disasters have had some natural origin — floods, too much water. [Over photo of floods] How often have you seen this picture? Hurricanes and tornadoes, too much wind, too much rain. Droughts may be worse, but not so dramatic as hurricanes because they don’t happen on just one day.
‚ÄúThe disaster on September 11th wasn’t like any of those. It was manmade. Death by design. Some people who hated Americans set out to kill a lot of us and they succeeded. Americans are puzzled over why so many people in the world hate us. We seem so nice to ourselves. They do hate us though. We know that and we’re trying to protect ourselves with more weapons. We have to do it I guess, but might be better if we figured out how to behave as a nation in a way that wouldn’t make so many people in the world want to kill us.‚Äù
And C-BS wonders why their ratings are in the crapper. Yeah we could get mad, but this is in fact the belief of the left and all the more reason they cannot be given the reins to our National Security.

1Never watch 60 Minutes, but let me ask: Is there anyone under age 80 on that program.
P.S. I think you meant ‘reins’.
