We get it, EVERYTHING GW Bush did is BAD and everything Obama WILL DO is good, great, biblical even. But in spite of your BDS rants W kept us safe from the Islamo’s who will kill us dead as soon as they can. You can pussy-foot (or pussy-mouth) yourselves to death, deluded the lot of you. Bush tore down the walls of ineptitude put up by that narcissist Clinton and his horrible minion, Jamie Gorelick and her lurch-like boss Janet Reno (a more stupid and ineffective woman I have never seen) and allowed our intelligence people to do their job and that is stop the killers. Does anyone remember that Mohamed Atta and his murderous dog compatriots learned the fly airplanes WITHOUT landing them? And that no one in the US law enforcement could actually QUESTION such training???!!! Talk about criminal, how about bringing CLINTON and GOERECK and Janet Reno up on treason charges!!?? They are the real criminals.
Bush sat on and pretty much killed off Al Queda world-wide. Hence, no more 9-11’s, an event I totally place on Clinton’s door step (I wonder how many of the jumpers voted for that clown?). Now we see and will see what you lefty’s will do under your Messiah:, eviscerate he CIA and justice.
Dick Morris has a column in NY Post today where he lays out the blue print for disaster:
"Leon Panetta, his choice for CIA chief, is as liberal as they come. Though originally a pro-Nixon congressman, he long ago embraced the left with the fervor of a convert and brings these values to the CIA.
Panetta will, presumably, curb such practices as waterboarding, rendition and warrantless wiretapping. So we won't gather much intelligence - but our spies will dot all the i's and cross all the t's.
Over at Justice, Obama is naming four liberals to staff the agency, each determined to rein in effective intelligence-gathering.
Professor Dawn Johnsen of Indiana University Law School is to head the Office of Legal Counsel. She distinguished herself by writing a law-review article taking issue with President Bush's efforts to keep us safe. It was titled, "What's a President To Do: Interpreting the Constitution in the Wake of the Bush Administration Abuses." Presumably, she'll bring back the days of the wall between criminal and intelligence investigations, which led to our failure to examine the computer of "20th hijacker" Zacharias Moussaoui, which contained wire-fund-transfer information on the other hijackers.
No less an authority than Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe, who taught Elena Kagan, the new solicitor general, predicted that she and Johnsen would "freshly re-examine some of the positions the previous administration has taken."
Obama's other Justice appointments, David Ogden as deputy attorney general and Thomas Perrelli as associate AG, bring back Clinton/Reno Justice Department retreads. Both participated eagerly in the constraints on intelligence-gathering that left us so vulnerable on 9/11.
Bush's legacy shows one clear achievement: He kept us safe after 9/11. Now his successor's policies are about to eradicate that singular achievement. The liberals will, of course, all cheer these appointments and the policies they'll pursue once in office, but these appointments make it frighteningly more likely that we will, indeed, be hit again."
Hit again is right. I would not work in any high-rise building during the next 4 years, nor spend too much time in a mall. If and when this does occur you’d better kiss Obama and his admin good-bye because Americans simply will not stand for it. It’s one thing to write blistering arguments attempting the re-write history about Bush but the truth is in the facts…Fact 1: George W Bush kept us safe…Obama? We will see but if he doesn’t 2010 and 2012 campaigns will have slogans that go: “Bush kept us safe, unlike Obama!”.
