I am SO not making this up. Wash Post:
Invoking U.S. military withdrawals from Beirut in 1983 and Mogadishu in 1993, Cheney said a weak commander in chief would mean that terrorists could "become convinced in their own minds that if they hit the United States or if they keep up the pressure long enough that we'll fold or take our toys and go home."1983 was Reagan and VP Bush. Is Cheney suggesting as well that Reagan is partly to blame for 9/11 - i.e., the terrorists saw a weak commander in chief and thought that if they hit the us on September 11, we'd fold?
