McCain's brief timeline that blames Reagan for 9/11

[underpants]

“In case the senator from West Virginia forgot it or never knew it, we withdrew from Afghanistan one time. We withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban came, eventually followed by al-Qaida followed by attacks on the United States of America,” the Arizona Republican said.

As I have seen this reported this morning I have yet to hear anyone mention that McCain basically blames Reagan for the path to 9/11. Willie Geist (MSNBC) said that Manchin was "rebuked" by McCain. Manchin is right and, on this timeline, so is McCain. But we need confrontation in our news.

1. Reagan-9/11, Immigrants-AZ wildfires, neighborhood kids-broken mailbox...

Isn't time for a pudding cup, slippers, and a nap for Johnny?

2. Reagan is ultimately responsible for 9/11 and Afghanistan

Actions taken during his administration caused enabled alQuaida and the Taliban to develop and evolve.

Don't see the reference to Reagan in the article though.

3. Selective memory

"Al Qaida" was already there in the guise of the mujahadeen, which we created to fight the Soviets.

9/11 was an excuse to increase the power of the Empire and those who benefit. That's not you or me. If we're lucky we get a very small fraction of a crumb that falls from the table.

"We republicon occultists were able to calculate that you Americans would start picking on Ronnie just before the upcoming July 1 eclipse, rather than holding xCommander AWOL Bush (R) and Dickie 'Five-Military-Deferments' Cheney (R) responsible for their miserable traitorous FAIL. It's all in the stars."
