Maybe they are simply trying to highlight the memory of the day when 3000 Americans died. I guess such thing doesn't make sense to a partisan hack.

I agree that being specific is better.

But I have never known an airplane to make decisions on its own, so I see no equivalency between "Muslims" and "airplanes".

Really? Splitting hairs over this? Taking it awfully literally aren't you? Literary license.

What would you have had them print?

"18 years ago, Saudi terrorists took down...."

And who would have been outrage-tweeting about that? I can guess.

Man, you guys are desperate to see a media conspiracy even where none remotely exists.

Trump, Obama, Hillary, Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr. (from the pits of hell), the Federal Reserve...

Am I missing anyone?

Who is feeding you this crap? You can't be so gullible.

And when you say everyone knows what they are talking about, do you mean everyone knows Muslims are responsible for 9/11, or everyone knows Muslims used an airplane?
Everyone knows islamist terrorists (Al Qaeda) was responsible. EVERYONE.

We should all reflect on the absolute fact that hate filled Muslim radicals attacked the United States 18 years ago. We should not forget the 3000 dead on American soil, nor the horror of how they died. Watch the video of the burning towers and people leaping to their deaths. Watch the skyscrapers fall into the streets of NYC in a scene the likes of that should only be seen in a Hollywood movie. Watch panicked citizens of our nation run for their lives on AMERICAN soil. Never forget WHO DID THIS..........much worse than Pearl Harbor, at least the Japanese attacked a military instillation. These beasts attacked a city full of non combatants.

Never forget
Never forgive

They chose to use their own words. You have a problem with it? Well, too bad. Create your own tweet and say whatever you want.
