A couple of days ago I wrote about Condoleezza Rice nicely handling herself on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show and how it is vogue right now for Democrats to criticize the Bush Administration for not catching Osama Bin Laden. I thought it was a bit over the top the way some Dems had looked at the capture and death of Bin Laden as purely an accomplishment for President Obama and failure for former President Bush.
BUT…..
I find it insulting that FOX News thinks they can just re-write history and act as if Bin Laden was always a major focus for them!!
GOP: STOP LYING!!!!!
On 3/13/2002 then Pres Bush minimized the influence of Bin Laden. If you are going to applaud Pres Bush for building the foundation of intelligence gathering that ‘MAY’ have assisted the Obama Administration to find Bin Laden… THEN you also have to acknowledge that it was Pres Bush who re-focused US interest from Afghanistan to Iraq.
In the next couple of days I will talk more about the silliness of FOX News coverage of the capture/killing of Osama Bin Laden!!
If there is something to be said, “It’s On Broadway” to step up and say it!!
Perhaps he was ignoring Bin Laden because he didnt want to bring up the unpleasant fact that despite being the Commander in Chief of the most technologically advanced nation in the history of the world Pres Bush still hasnt been able to find one guy hiding in a cave.Well with approval ratings higher than his IQ but still lower than the preferred proof of alcohol that Dick Cheney likes to swig before going out and hunting quail and with a good likelihood of losing a significant number of Congressional elections this fall sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.
