Try to think of an innocent reason why GWB adopted the slogan “Islam is a religion of peace” and tried to force it down our throats for all those years.
I’ll wait.
I view it as political expediency, not much more than that. We went to war with the Soviet Union as allies and had a lot of kissy-face things to say about them, but...Roosevelt and the Dems of the day were ideologically in bed with them anyway.
Just to be clear, I disagree with GWB on a wide variety of critical issues, but I give him leeway in the armed conflicts of the day. I just don’t think there was a good “fine line” to tread. I hated hearing “The Religion of Peace” as much as anyone.
