This is a big opportunity to remind the country what a screw up Bush was...

[onehandle]

...in every way on national security and all things economic.

It was his administration and it's parade of screw-ups fault, not President Obama's.

I was reminded of this by the interview just now on MSNBC of one of the worst screw-ups of them all, Condoleezza Rice.

I cannot believe that people take her seriously after her many failures.

1. Just repeat ... "Iraq was a DISTRACTION"

And once Obama shifted the focus BACK to Afghanistan and Pakistan, we got OBL.

Over and over and over.

2. An opportunity denied

otherwise we could again see with what clarity that crimes have been committed and the criminals are taking reverse credit for doing what need not have been done if Bush had not enabled Bin Laden and then abandoned the hunt to get back to the exploitation of that dereliction with a murderous occupation of Iraq. The way Hussein was apprehended(with somewhat more difficulty considering he was hiding out in a country we occupied) alone shows how backward and perhaps unnecessary the entire long drama has been thanks only to the "hard work" of Bush/Cheney in acquiring oil for private profit.

Could have, should have pursued Bin Laden as Clinton did. There were already terrorist events to respond to. Didn't.

Could have, should have kept up security before 911. Didn't.

Could have, should have gone after Bin Laden's group directly and first. Dragged into it by Tony Blair. Then bungled. Abandoned. The press was somewhat disturbed about the redirection to Iraq. After some sane head-scratching they took up their pom poms and insulted the intelligence of everyone in the murderous oil grab via war crimes.

The Dems, eagerly submissive to two stolen elections and the presidential right to commit crimes, had the practical plan which they eventually put to work.. and showed the sheer tearful waste of all these years since Bush stole the election.

They will revisit the royal wedding a thousand times before they allow the people to share this moment of conscious horror, shame and wrath amidst a triumph that would have been better if a petty terrorist band had been run to ground under President Gore ten years ago. Not a whisper, not an idea, not an honest word, not a hint that any rational human being exists on the planet who can see his hand in front of his eyes.

3. The Bushies have come out of the woodwork . . .

to defend the indefensible and divert the conversation. There is little counterbalance or attempts at holding them accountable. They are actually trying to take a lion's share of credit for bin Laden's takedown. Nauseating. :puke: :puke:
