President Obama is now asking all of us to mute our criticism of his anti-terror policies and rally around the flag in order to defeat our common enemy, al Qaeda. If only he and his fellow Leftists had shown that same restraint during the Bush years, instead of denouncing the Bush-Cheney detention, interrogation and electronic surveillance policies that kept us safe.
Bill O’Reilly had it exactly right when he said during his January 8th “Talking Points” segment of ”The Factor“ -
President Obama is under withering criticism because his anti-terror policies are deemed ‘too soft’ by some Americans. It’s ironic that President Obama finds himself in pretty much the same position President Bush was in…Since I have been critical of President Obama’s anti-terror strategy, I thought about his appeal. I understand it, but c’mon! Trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the underwear guy in civilian courts is one of the worst political decisions I’ve ever seen.
At least President Bush tried to be consistent. He cared little about the ‘rights’ of foreign terrorists aligned with al Qaeda. Yes, the shoe bomber was tried successfully in federal court. But leaders like Khaleid Sheik Mohammed were squeezed for information before ending up in Guantanamo awaiting a likely military trial. Bush’s clear priority was the security of the American people.
