Actually..yeah..it was that Bush gave up on the search for OBL. It didn't suit the agenda..which was to attack Iraq. And Bush was surprisingly nasty to the intelligence community given that his father was quite the opposite. Bush had no problem whatsoever breaking up CIA groups, hanging the director out to dry..or outting agents. It was the CIA that told him not to mention the Aluminium pipes in his state of the union..which..famously..he chose to ignore.
After 8 years of Clinton there a lot of his appointees still in the CIA. Bush should have cleared them out, but he didn't, so he paid a price for being a nice guy.
Obama made a mistake bringing in Clinton people because they seem to always cause truoble for him. The reason he did was cuz he doesn't know how to do the job. He deligates almost everything.
Columbia is Clinton's backyard. This Secret Service mess is partly Hillary's doing. The only blame I can give Obama for it is not putting the right people in charge. Hillary cannot be trusted. She's constantly screwing him.
Yo, PudWhistler, you DO realize that the Secret Service director who is implicated in the scandal in Columbia was actually appointed under Jr.?
And, if you want to talk about "mistakes" from previous admins, guess what? Most of the people in Romney's camp are the same ones that were in Jr.'s administration as well.
Oh.............and wasn't it Romney who said it wasn't worth moving Heaven and earth to get one man?
The original quote came from an April 2007 interview with the Associated Press. Romney said in that interview he backs a broad strategy to defeat Islamic jihadists and that it's "not worth moving heaven and earth" for one person. Romney said catching bin Laden would make the country safer by a "small percentage" -- he added, a "very insignificant increase in safety." Romney's argument was that somebody else would replace bin Laden at the helm of Al Qaeda.
None other than Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee who is now defending Romney on the issue, criticized him for the April 2007 statement.
