You said it Phil.
The Commander-in-Chief has no business labeling rogue nations as members of some vague ‘Axis of Evil’ unless he fully intends to take them out as you would with any adversary.
As GWB flies back to Texas, Ahmadinejad’s Iran is closer than ever to an operational nuclear weapon, North Korea’s Kim Jong Il has not been induced to halt Pyongyang’s pursuit of a nuclear capability, and this means that both the Far East and the Middle East are actually MORE unstable than before GWB took office.
I’m not at all saying that Iraq should not have been liberated, far from it. Getting rid of Saddam was good for the neighborhood, he was a terrorist, simple as that.
The problem is that after securing Iraq, our illustrious President didn’t do squat about, or to Iran, or North Korea. His inaction emboldened them, and it will be GWB’s inexperienced and naive successor who will be making the decisions on how best to deal with those adversaries.
That alone, ought to bring about widespread revulsion, for GWB’s failure to finish the job he started, and horror, in anticipation of what Comrade 0bama is likely to do once sworn in as President (legal or not).
Blah, blah, Blah.
Give it a rest. Nothing worse than a knowitall armchair president.
“That alone, ought to bring about widespread revulsion, for GWB’s failure to finish the job he started, and horror, in anticipation of what Comrade 0bama is likely to do once sworn in as President (legal or not).”
THANK GOD, President Bush never listened to recliner presidents! Nor did he think he was GOD and capable of bringing peace to all of the middle east!
There will be only one who will be able to bring peace and that will not be the little one. BUT the true Son of God.
The delay into Iraq gave Saddam and his Russian generals, spetznaz, Syrians time to truck certain items out of country.
The Democrat obstructors should have met with the same compassion Lincoln showed Democrat war resisters.
Turkey's obstruction was costly, yet they never paid a price.
The rules of engagement following the defeat of the uniformed military should have been, if it shoots it dies, the building it shot from is levelled. Journalists and their organizations do not lie or leak; the first violation they are denied access--the next, they experience lost time.
Negotiations with Iran were the target of the 2004 CFR paper Iran: Time for a New Direction coauthored by Robert Gates and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Negotiations with madmen who desire chaos, mass murder, return of an imam hiding in a well for centuries, a new Holocaust--what disturbance of sanity is shared by Bush, Rice, Gates, Zbigniew, Hussein.
To allow the North Korean stonewalling to continue for over half a century--a much better use for the UN building would be as a new USO for our returning fighters.
The NIE which claimed Iran had discontinued its nuclear program should have been grounds for summary firings of the intelligence leadership.
The rules of government employment should have been suspended--or an admission that it had been an ersatz war all along.
In war, the mission trumps political correctness and the bowing and curtseying to Reuters, BBC, CNN and the traitors in congress and their propaganda ministry styling itself the media.
What place have runaway spending on education or Quixotic obsession with immigration reform in a war on terror.
And why not a war on islamofascism.
Why not drilling ANWR and elsewhere by executive order to cut the mullahs of Iran and Hugo Chavez and the rest of our enemies out of our energy security.
A promising beginning sinking into a mire of accommodation until John McCain simply knelt and begged Hussein to take the crown.
Now we have a president who has more compassion for Khalid Sheik Mohammed than Daniel Pearl and the 3,000 victims of 911.
