The only other president I know of that obsessed so much about defeated eletoral opponents, almost as if he considers them enemies or even traitors… was Richard M. Nixon.

your right, but all of that falls on deaf ears to people who really dont understand that there ARE fundemental ways to live that are completly alien to them. they may even pay lip service to the concept by declaring they get it. but in truth, they dont. if they did, they would not even like the potential of such, let along accept the potential and not think the end will occur when its unopposed.

That is what ideology always does, replacing real thinking with a set of pre-packed cliche. When Marxist surround you from infancy, it is hard to avoid this degeneracy of a mind.

Doesn’t this sum up Obama behavior in general, not only in Bush-bashing and need to be permanently defensive in blaming somebody else about his own faults? Looks like obsessive-compulsive neurosis to me, with a distinct streak of paranoia.

I remember an undercurrent sentiment in Germany that they were somehow being dissed by not being included in Afghanistan by go-it-alone Bush. Then, after their troops were there, to rebuild schools, mind you, we got a report that they didn’t have enough armored vehicles. It seems that some vehicles were being sidelined because they were overdue for emissions inspections.

That’s just one horror story of war by bureaucracy. Who knows how many more are unreported.

BDS has become so ingrained with some people that they will still be blaming him when they’re old and gray. If the US gets nuked five years from now, they’ll find a way to blame it on Bush. Anything to avoid facing reality.

None of the “experts” imagined such a swift campaign. We drove both Taliban and Al-qaeda into Pakistan, but out of the civilized parts of Afghanistan (yes, they ended up in some of the caves).

And then President Bush did something else that the “experts” claimed must be done. We outsourced the war efforts to our allies in the NATO. And the situation gotten worse since then. This was the most tragic error. Now he is being blamed because he listened to the “experts” from the left. Isn’t it the incompetence of our NATA allies who refuse to arm their soldiers and soldiers who refuse to shoot that got us into this situation.

Isn’t this the story world over? Remember Kosovo?

I’m glad Bush won’t let himself be drawn into a war of words with Obama (lord knows he could have been more aggressive in defending his policies while in office), but I love that Cheney is calling Obama out on his homeland security and Afganistan war policy.
