But because he's a murderous thug himself, nobody believed him.

This information has been known since at least before we went into Iraq. Libya was one of those unnamed nations assisting the US in the War On Terror. I guess Bush must have forgotten to relay that to Obama.

I'm surprised Bush has yet to call Obama.

The sad thing is that Gates, Donilon, and Brennan knew that Al Qaeda was responsible, but got shouted down by Hillary, Susan Rice, and Samantha Powers.

Obama Takes Hard Line With Libya After Shift by Clinton

In joining Ms. Rice and Ms. Power, Mrs. Clinton made an unusual break with Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, who, along with the national security adviser, Thomas E. Donilon, and the counterterrorism chief, John O. Brennan, had urged caution. Libya was not vital to American national security interests, the men argued, and Mr. Brennan worried that the Libyan rebels remained largely unknown to American officials, and could have ties to Al Qaeda.

The bottom line is that this is now the State Department's war, and the Defense Department is reluctantly following Obama's orders.

And note, that in his public addresses about the war, Obama uses weasel words to avoid stating that HE ordered the attacks.

President Obama just sent this letter to Congress

Honestly, the whole Middle East is the equivalent of Hell’s Kitchen on Earth, chalk full of numerous parties killing each other. As far as Bush is concerned, I am surprised that his Secretary of Defense Robert Gates did not relay information from his time as a Bush advisor and gatherer of intelligence to Obama as the next president. Chances are pretty high that Bush assumed that his own Secretary of Defense would do just that, as he passed on from his administration to the Obama administration, with plenty of the information reviewed back then. Anyways, that’s my speculation.
