Charlie Daniels on 9/11: 'Only good terrorist is a dead terrorist'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
It’s been 17 years since Muslims – mostly from Saudi Arabia – sneaked weapons through the airport security system in Portland, Maine, then connected to other flights and commandeered four commercial jets.
They crashed them into the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon, a field in Pennsylvania, likely en route to the White House, and killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
The nation was in shock, wondering if another cells of jihadists was poised to strike.
Singer-songwriter-country-music icon Charlie Daniels writes in his online Soap Box commentary that it took a little while, but the nation united as it hadn’t since the Second World War.
“The confusion turned to anger and then the anger turned to white-hot fury and America only waited for
the culprit to be identified to know who to vent their vengeance toward,” he said. “Absolutely nobody would have had the guts to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem and American flags were on display everywhere.
“We were playing that weekend in Harrison, Arkansas, and I’ll never forget the sights on the drive out. Old Glory was flying from the backs of 18 wheelers, radio aerials, flagpoles and buildings and the fast food marquees all along the highway carried slogans like ‘God Bless America’ and ‘Pray for America,'” he said.
Newspapers printed full-page flags “so people could at least have a paper one.”
The nation was “locked and loaded.”
Since then, he said, two wars have been fought “by someone else’s rules of engagement.”
And other things didn’t go so well, either.
“We had a president for eight years who started his term by bowing to the king of a country where the scumbags who flew the planes that killed nearly 3,000 Americans in one fell swoop were born,” he noted, not naming Barack Obama.
“The same president instigated a program to allow thousands from nations who hate us and had not been properly vetted to come into our country,” he wrote. “He also lifted sanctions and sent a planeload of cash to the world’s number one exporter of terrorism and drew meaningless red lines that our enemies crossed with impunity.”

How conveniemt to bring up Obama's greeting.of bowing and not mention Bush and his lip lock on King Abdullah.
You still didn't answer the question...all this hyperventilating about terrorists and barring them from tje USA....Saudi, who supplied the terrorists and paid for their bills and training, is and never was on the terror country list.
Usama binLaden's family was safely flown.out of the USA under the direction.of Bush.
Why is Obama the bad one for bowing while the other two swallowed his man juice and are the heroes of the right?
Saudi Arabia Is a Brutal Human-Rights Violator — and Trump Appreciates That
Trump only cares about human rights because he considers himself to be the only human.
If you really care about this United We Stand thing, why don't you post more that is uniting than dividing?
I don't think it takes a lot of thought or intelligence to say "the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist". Sort of like saying "the only good serial killer is a dead serial killer".
Pretty much every decent person condemns terrorism, which attacks the innocent, and usually people who are either going about their daily routine or out somewhere having a good time.
