He went on: “I have to ask ... why the firefighters who went there and everybody in the city of New York needs to come to the federal government for the dollars versus this being primarily a state consideration.”
-Not even a weird statement. Sounds like the truth. Sure, lets throw more money on it. Just like Katrina. And yes. It simply was plane crashes. Yes, we failed as individuals on those planes to stop the terrorist. We don't need to give terrorist even more credit than they deserve. We expect gov’t to fail, what happened on 9/11 was also a failure of the individual.
Those were not plan crashes. Those planes were used as missiles. Al Qaeda attacked AMERICA that day. They attacked America in New York.
How many plane crashes do you know that killed 3000 people?
How is the damage and economic fallout from an attack by a foreign power (Al Qaeda) on one of our cities a “state consideration?”
Preparing first responders for future attacks on America is absolutely a federal task if there ever was one.
Issa is a disgrace.
Katrina was a predictable event that Louisiana and New Orleans should have been prepared for and failed. 9-11 was an attack on America and no city or state should have to bear the brunt of the implications of such an attack alone.
No. It was not.
