Stop Hitler or bin Laden & 9/11?Follow

Should I have it while screaming and crying over Death To Freedom Mosques in New York? Ones that were just ABSOLUTELY rammed through the proper procedures because I just KNOW it has to be true?

Bush's inept dealings with Pakistan were one of the greatest US foreign policy blunders in the last twenty years. Thank god Obama actually showed some balls with them and actually got results.

But hey, Bush gave them billions upon billions of dollars to help advance Iranian and N. Korean nuclear weapons programs and give over chunks of Pakistan to the Taliban in a move that would make even your caricature of Neville Chamberlain seems like tactical genius. So what a pity Obama took over dealing with them, huh?

That's not even counting the whole "Osama bin Laden? No, no.. never heard of him... must be somewhere else. Not here, though..." thing.

Not going to argue that issue Joph, but isn't that apples and oranges? We're talking about what our political leaders did and said immediately after 9/11. Bringing up something which happened many years later, and isn't being championed by any current elected political leaders (it certainly isn't a front and center political issue held by a party in power) just seems kinda irrelevant, right?


Let's examine what Bush and GOP leaders in Congress said about the WOT in the first couple years after 9/11 instead, ok? It's pretty much the opposite of what was said earlier.

No, not really. Prominent GOP figures were screaming and crying about it and accusing those wanting to build it off all manner of evil motives. If you want to cry about Democrats claiming that the GOP acts like this, maybe they shouldn't, you know, act like that.

Yeah, I know you're trying really hard to only look at a certain window (where you're just making up Democratic responses and motives) and praying we'll all just forget everything else. Understood.

It's a real pity that life doesn't let us just look at the tiny slivers we wish represented us while ignoring the whole reality.

Gonna cry that no one takes your hyperpartisan "The LEFT did this!!" blather for truth?

No but its a pretty educated guess. It may not ave been Germany, but anyone of those little nations all running into the arms of fascism. But Id put my money on russia. It was a good thing Germany created that buffer in ww2.

Since I never said that, I assume your little strawman is your sign of retreat. Gotcha.
