This week is the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. 20 years ago, 19 Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 airliners, three of which hit their targets: Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the World Trade Center as well as the Pentagon. It resulted in 2,997 deaths and 25,000 injuries - altering forever, the fabric of American life.
The following day, in an address to the nation, President George W. Bush declared war on the terrorists who committed these acts. Closely involved with the decisions and operations to come, was National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who joins us today to discuss the anniversary and the latest developments we’ve witnessed the past few weeks in Afghanistan and her own personal experience with the tragic day that we, as a nation, will never forget.
