Jesus Christ, what a fucking monster.
Comrade McCain, Ho's favorite ho, has advanced his level of idiocy to a new and unprecedented horizon.
Sen Manchin of WVA, who would make a pretty good president, said:
"I believe it is time for President Obama to begin a substantial and responsible reduction in our military presence in Afghanistan. I believe it is time for us to rebuild America, not Afghanistan."
And Comrade McCain, Ho's favorite ho, responded:
"I feel compelled to respond to the statements by the senator from West Virginia, which characterized the isolationist, withdrawal, lack-of-knowledge-of-history attitude that seems to be on the rise in America.
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 Qaeda, followed by the attacks on the United States of America."

First of all, Mr Learn-From-History, we didn't "withdraw from Afghanistan" the first time, because we weren't in Afghanistan the first time. We were playing proxy games, funding and supporting Sheikh Osama and other warlords against the Soviets.
Second, Mr Learn-From-History, the overwhelming lesson of history is that nobody has ever succeeded in controlling Afghanistan.
Third, the Taliban had only a marginal connection with the 9/11 attacks. The 9/11 boys were mostly funded and controlled from Germany and Pakistan, and trained in Florida, Oklahoma and Arizona. The Taliban were just one of several groups and nations that helped al-Qaeda at the time.
Fourth, the 9/11 attacks COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL if we'd been isolationist at the time. If we had strictly controlled our borders and ports, if we had carefully screened visas and prevented entry by all foreigners with the slightest hint of hostile tendencies, the 9/11 boys couldn't have BEEN HERE, thus couldn't have trained in Florida and Oklahoma, couldn't have recruited foreign helpers at Logan Airport, couldn't have boarded with a one-way ticket paid in cash. ¶ 6:02 AM
