You were surprised, Obama because Bush was right all along

By Tammy Bruce, Washington Times
It may come as a surprise to President Obama, but he has actually proved that when it comes to foreign policy and the war on terrorism, President George W. Bush and America have been right all along. After years of an Obama foreign policy that existed simply to be the opposite of whatever Mr. Bush did or would do, Islamist terrorism and Middle East turmoil have exploded. As Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has noted, the Islamic State is “a force and a dimension that the world has never seen before.”
The left, led by Mr. Obama and his sycophantic supporters, truly believed all the world’s ills were the result of America’s arrogance and intrusion. The left’s juvenile solution was to remove America from the scene and cut her down to size. Their theory presumed that if the world saw how Mr. Obama, the messianic Anti-Bush, was punishing America and removing her caustic influence, all balance would be restored, love and peace would prevail, and unicorns would once again fly over the rainbow.
Oh, yes, and Islamist terrorism would stop and the Middle East would prosper — so long as America was on her knees.

Bush was right that pulling out early would be bad, and Obama was wrong to announce the timetable.

However, Bush was also wrong to go into Iraq in the first place. No matter when we decided to pull out, we'd still have the same problem because we broke Iraq.

Nice OP ED...

I like this clearly unbiased line..."The left, led by Mr. Obama and his sycophantic supporters, truly believed all the world’s ills were the result of America’s arrogance and intrusion."

That Op ed reads more like a "teenager" full of angst typing out some cathartic blog in one of those TV shows where women in their mid 20's play teenagers.

I'll remember this the next time you post one of your lefty rants with similar languaging.

Exactly.

Invading was the mistake in the first place.

Bush was right to try hard to free two countries.

General Tommy Franks damage to Iraq was very minimal and to military targets and key Saddam buildings.

It would pay you to have closely studied his awesome book to find out the facts.

You never read General Tommy Franks book either by the looks of things.

Bush can now be said to be wrong but his mission was to free humans.

It stuns me when people claim freeing humans is wrong.
