Did McCain Cause 9/11?
Daily Kos
Excerpt
Remember this?
In 1993, Sen. John McCain led an effort to cut off funds immediately for military operations in Somalia after a firefight in Mogadishu killed 18 U.S. troops. The former prisoner of war in Vietnam brought a hush to the chamber floor when he asked what would happen if Congress failed to act and more Americans died.
“On whose hands rest the blood of American troops? Ask yourself this question,” said McCain, R-Ariz.
Here’s what he had to say about an immediate withdrawal from Haiti:
“In my view that does not mean as soon as order is restored to Haiti. It does not mean as soon as democracy is flourishing in Haiti. It does not mean as soon as we have established a viable nation in Haiti. As soon as possible means as soon we can get out of Haiti without losing any American lives.”
Now McCain is saying that, in Iraq, a withdrawal is like sending a “memo to our enemies to let them know when they can operate again.” That’s quite the reversal in opinion. Does McCain’s war support depend entirely upon who started the war? It would seem so. McCain doesn’t appreciate having this flip-flop pointed out, however.

First of all, I thought you believed that the goverment really blew up the trade centers. I thought you antiwar folks thought it was a conspiracy. I got you. Answer me this. How does what McCain said about Somolia fit into the conspiracy theory? Well, The same way you prove this column of yours H.L. is not bullsh*t. Not easily…….that is how!!!
