Republicans are redoubling their efforts to credit Bush for stopping OBL\u2019s reign of terror, not Obama.  David Loch is one.  I understand Crawford Caligula failed to attend, because his panties are in a bunch over it.  And of course there\u2019s the Republican Ministry of propaganda, Faux Noise<\/em>.  Here\u2019s an example of that, after which we\u2019ll make sure Bush gets all the credit he deserves.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"Fox-sheep\"Col. Oliver North visited the Hannity show last night to discuss Osama Bin Laden\u2019s death. Sean Hannity was obviously disappointed that North would not go along with two out of three of Hannity\u2019s favorite memes of late: calling for the release of the Bin Laden death photos and attacking President Obama for being \u201ctoo sensitive\u201d (read \u201ctoo Muslim friendly\u201d) in providing religious rites with Bin Laden\u2019s body. But whatever frustration Hannity felt was surely assuaged by North\u2019s later remarks extolling \u201cenhanced interrogations\u201d and President Bush.<\/p>\n

At about 5:30 in the interview, North said that Obama deserved the credit for a \u201cbold decision\u201d in his plan of attack against Bin Laden. But, North quickly added, \u201cIt was not a courageous decision\u2026 The options he had was one, do nothing or number two do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, the courage, the vision and the credit goes to George W. Bush<\/strong>. Later, North said, \u201cWe ought to be thanking George W. Bush for having implemented those enhanced interrogation procedures which, by the way, are not torture, but nonetheless were effective in making sure this information got started so we could conduct this operation.\u201d That\u2019s right, we should thank Bush for those \u201ceffective\u201d techniques that many years later \u2013 and two years after Obama took office and banned them \u2013 allowed his administration to do what Bush never did\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How absurd!  But I\u2019m not surprised that would be coming from the man, who still thinks his Iran-Contra crimes on behalf of Reagan were the right thing to do.  But to be fair, lets examine the record to be sure that Bush gets all the credit he deserves.  <\/font>Ed Shultz leads is through that timeline, and Alan Grayson joins in.<\/font><\/p>\n

Ed did go too far in one thing though.  One cannot blame Bush for continuing to read, because My Pet Goat<\/u> exceeded his intellectual capacity.<\/font><\/p>\n

For Bush to get proper credit, he should get an all expense paid vacation to a resort known for the quality of its bars.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
