I wonder, what was so “sweet” about 9/11 Mr. Vice President?

Vice President Joe Biden drew on the sorrow of his own personal losses as he addressed the memorial marking 11 years since United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field.

“It is a bittersweet moment for the entire nation,” Biden told families, friends and dignitaries gathered at the memorial to the 40 passengers and crew who died  on Sept. 11, 2001.

I’m not sure the Vice President knows what “bittersweet.”  There was no upside to 9/11.  Or, at least, none I’d think someone like Biden would want to acknowledge publicly.
