He could just as easily be talking about the extreme left.
The extreme left absorbed 9/11 and came back stronger.
Zippo has a habit of referring to the extreme left as “WE” as in “We are what you've been waiting for”.
My impression is he's referring to his administration absorbing an attack and coming back stronger.
When he says “WE” he does offend me ... I start “feeling” / acting like a DU poster for a couple of minutes until I regain my composure
McCain, Lindsey and a few others can also push that button.
