Well now, didn’t we all know that George Bush would have to be at fault???

See how it easy it is to be perfect like the Obama Administration?

You just have to have someone or something to blame for everything bad that happens on your watch.

That way you can golf and surf worry free at $4000 + per night luxury accomodations on a “Christmas vacation” where you never darken a church door, during this time of “somebody else’s fault bad economy”. (No criticism for this POTUS about wearing his religion on his sleeve. Maybe he has no religion to wear there.)

And, you can drag half of your relatives with you to vacation in luxury accomodations as well, and have the news media gush about it in awed tones rather than criticize you for being at home some place REALLY expensive like Crawford, TX when they think you should be on watch from the White House.

And under Bush - the good Dr. Hasan kept getting passed along.

Right... Hasan's file kept crossing Bush's desk, and Bush kept stamping happy faces on it.

What do you people think a POTUS does?

Are we going to be consistent?

Does the CIC have any authority or doesn’t he?

And if a culture of political correctness is detrimental to national security - exactly who is responsible for that?

>>>"art therapy rehabilitation program"<<<

Sure, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was enrolled in "The Study of Airplane Crashes As Art, 101".

...it's a required course.

["American officials agreed to send the two terrorists to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program"]

Liberal policy madness in full bloom.

art as therapy - hmmm how could that go wrong

This is where the subhuman terrorist is encouraged to humanity by drawing artful renderings of suicide bombs, head cuttings, etc.

Reason why none of them should be released ever. Period.

They should have been released out the rear load bay of a C17 at 30,000 ft over the Atlantic Ocean.

I remember reading about such a release of prisoners from Gitmo back about that time. It sticks in the memory banks that the Bush Administration was under pressure from the alleged Saudi allies at the time.

Alleged is my own opinion of the Saudi’s as allies.

I believe that the bigger point here is that Obama and his yahoos on the left want to release all of them.

The big difference will be that, instead of releasing them to Saudi Arabia, Obama will release them into the United States, along with a cash award and official letters of apology for our past hegemonic transgressions against the rightful owners of the world's wealth.

My post from another blame Bush thread ...

Bull cookies! The dems own this one. The terrorists father went to the American Embassy SIX MONTHS AGO (Hint: Obama was President) with information of his son’s Islamic radicalization. Incompetano should resign immediately.


Exactly. The Liberals played the “Under who’s watch did 9-11 happen?” game. While completely ignoring the fact Clinton balked on the call to take out Bin Laden.
