Blaming no one?
“blaming no one”
From the context, I think what he meant was we weren’t blaming Islam or Islamists or Arabs for 9/11. We’re just going after individual criminals. Therefore, this is not a war, but a criminal investigation.
The fantasy all along was that terrorists were just criminals and should be treated as such. If they were fighting a war against us that would require a declaration of war and would kill the multicultural communist basis of liberalism.
