Key point:
"The president insisted in his speech that the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and enhanced interrogation techniques (which he characteristically referred to as 'torture,' a term both legally inaccurate and morally obtuse) increased terrorist recruitment. In fact the leading driver of terrorist recruitment is successful terrorist attacks. That is what convinces the fence-sitters that radical Islam can win, and that Osama bin Laden is correct when he argues that the United States is a weak horse that will retreat when things get tough enough.
The counterterrorism policies of the Bush administration prevented new terrorist attacks and assured the world’s bin Ladens that the United States was committed to their defeat. We hope that assurance still holds; if it does, it is only because President Obama, for all his unseemly disparagement of his predecessor, has picked up the tools George W. Bush left him and made them his own."
Why is it that EVERYTHING Obama has done since January 20 is not only WRONG (or a screwed-up modification of something that was right), but has DIRE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES for our nation and our people?
Is he causing all this damage on purpose?

So Obama has picked up the tools of Bush AND everything he has done is wrong? Hard to think straight through your grumpy rage, isn't it?

ReplyDeletePay attention to what I said, Seymour:

What part of that is beyond your limited ability you to comprehend?
