"Simply An Aircraft"

The obscene Congressman Darrell Issa, who hopefully will not be reelected, said this about the September 11 attack on the World Trade towers : "San Diego GOP Rep. Darrell Issa was under siege for suggesting the federal government had already done enough to help New York cope with 'a fire' that 'simply was an aircraft' hitting the World Trade Center." The New York Daily news responds in an editorial :

"Simply an aircraft? Simply the residue of two aircraft? Simply the residue of a building? Sir, you had forgotten. Sworn fanatic enemies of America converted those airliners, and two more, into missiles. They killed 3,000 people, many of whom were rescue workers who rushed in without thought to their own safety. And particles thrown into the air by the World Trade Center's collapse sickened thousands of responders. Among them were people from Issa's San Diego district. Forty-four of his constituents signed up with the World Trade Center Health Registry. None of which seemed of concern when he spoke at a hearing held by Rep. Jerry Nadler to explore U.S. obligations to responders. Should Congress reopen the 9/11 victims' compensation fund? Could Congress help resolve the thousands of suits that have been filed seeking recompense?"
