President Biden wraps up rambling Vietnam presser in candid way: 'I'm gonna go to bed'
FOX NewsAPR 2023
Joe Biden disappointingly chose not to visit one of the three 9/11 crash sites. When asked why he couldn't, the White House said "presidents were not still going to visit Hawaii" 22 years after Pearl Harbor. His lack of attendance is a major gaffe.
Pres. Biden is not the first president to commemorate this sad day from somewhere other than a crash site, and that includes presidents Bush and Obama. Sept. 11 is a day to mourn the Americans we lost and boost the morale of the soldiers and first responders who continue to protect us from the threat of terrorism — not to engage in petty politics.
Partisan politics aside, Americans must not forget to demand transparency from their government regarding the tragedy of 9/11. Though Bush downplayed it for years, we now know that the CIA was following two of the hijackers all the way up until they entered the US just weeks before the attacks. This, and probing the pretenses for the decades of casualties caused by the "War on Terror" are legitimate questions that deserve answers.
