New York Congressman Peter King has written a great op-ed on how Big Media is ignoring the so-called "9/11 families" who support our President in favor of exploiting a relative handful of loudmouths who think that a war profiteer like Richard Clarke is some sort of hero.
[...] Richard Clarke insinuated himself onto the national scene, becoming the overnight darling of the anti-Bush crowd, as he implied that Mr. Bush was to blame for September 11. Again the media cited the September 11 families who supported Mr. Clarke. All of this coincided with the release of Mr. Clarke's book.
I understand that these Bush-haters who lost family and friends on that awful morning have a right to their grief, as well as their politics. But they are not the owners of 11 September 2001. Not by a damn sight. We have all been changed as a consequence of that moment. So has been our foreign policy. The problem the Bush-hating Left has is that they do not have the fortitude to face the necessity of our new posture in the world. They want to turn back the clock and not face the task at hand, which is the annihilation of Muslim terrorists. But George W. Bush has not let them slink back into the warm beds of their aloof isolationism. That is why they resent him: because he is doing the right thing and they can't abide it. They want a leader who will negotiate and dither and appease. They want John Kerry. Christ save us all if they get him.
