Ok all you Bush-haters out there. You know who you are. Time to give it up for the man you despised, castigated, assaulted, insulted, and berated for eight long years. You know, the man known as “W”. The one you called a “cowboy”, and worse. The guy who you thought was too stupid to be in the White House, had too little experience, couldn’t speak, and so-on. Bush the idiot frat-boy. Bush the F!@#tard. Yeah, that guy.
The one who authored the policies that your president is now openly implementing, re-implementing, and maintaining.
Oh don’t be such a hypocrite. You know for a fact that Gitmo is still open. Despite the campaign promises, the blustering, the big ceremonies and signatures, the Presidential proclamation, and all that. You can give your man some points for trying but, in the end, the best decision has been to keep these terrorists out of the US. Keeping them in Gitmo is the best solution. If you release them, they play on the beach a bit then go back to killing Americans. If you bring them to the US, they take advantage of our freedoms, abuse our system, and make a mockery out of justice. Not the best policy, even for Barry. Bad for the whole “re-election” thingy, don’t you know.
And don’t forget those military tribunals. You know, the ones that were creating so many new terrorists under Bush. Barry has fired them up again, giving props, at least indirectly, to Bush in the process. Even Barry wasn’t such a big fan of those policies back in his senatorial days. Well you can welcome back the Bush policy on military tribunals with great fanfare as your president has seen the light. In fact, many of the Bush-Cheney anti-terror policies have become part of the standard practice of the Obama regime. Has he made sweeping changes, modifying them to make them now appropriate for our use? Not really. Some minor modifications, but nothing substantial. While Obama’s economic policies tend to echo Jimmy Carter and Karl Marx, his national security policies are straight from the playbook of his hated enemy and arch rival, G. W. Bush.
The recent in military intervention in Libya is just another example of Bush-Cheney policy put in action by Obama and friends. The separation of powers defined in the Constitution gives the President, as Commander-in-Chief, the authority to order the use of military forces in the interests of protecting the United States. The President does not need a declaration of War. Bush knew this when he ordered troops into Afghanistan, and into Iraq. His acquiescence to congressional demands that they have a say was a political move, not one required by law. It put many Democrats on record supporting the military action, and gave Bush the needed popular support to successfully implement his policies. It should be noted that Barry missed that part of the lesson. Perhaps he should touch base with Professor Bush and grab the cliff notes.
So come on all you liberals. Join in, you members of the state-run media (Ok, that’s redundant). Give it up for the one and only George W. Bush, the author of today’s national security policy. How about some credit to the man who defined the steps needed to protect this nation in the war on terror. The man who opened Gitmo, giving Barry something to keep open, and some place to have his military tribunals. The guy who showed us that we needed to defeat terrorists on their turf, not ours, and protected our country from any further attacks after 9-11. Barry may not be doing it as well as George, but they are Bush policies, just poorly implemented. Let’s face it, While it may not be a public proclamation, George and Dick are getting plenty of recognition, and some solid props, from Barack H. W. Bush.
