Ok quick questions?
What would you think if ANY President announced he did not know what his justice Department was doing on two HIGH Profile cases, that he was never informed and he never heard about it? And then he announced after being informed of two serious offenses committed by the Justice Department that he had complete faith still in his Attorney General?
What would you think if ANY President was purposefully and willingly kept in the Dark about any suspect action by his Administration? And then claimed that he never knew but that it was a regular practice to have his aides and handlers keep him in the dark?
What would you think if ANY President not only did not know that his Ambassador was being denied security but when the shit hit the fan he claimed for 3 weeks the murder of the Ambassador was due to a video and a street riot, AFTER being briefed within hours of the attack and informed in no uncertain terms that it was a pre planned terror attack coinciding with the date it was carried out?
Well we know what most Liberals think, they find nothing wrong with the President being clueless, out of touch and leaderless. Much better he be these things then an obvious criminal.
First, With all do respect sir. The outrage over these overblown scandals seems silly when you consider that Republicans never seem to care when their side has similar "issues".
Second,
Bush ignored the August 2011 memo that said Bin Laden was going to hijack planes. Bush failed to maintain basic defense protocols and have planes "scramble ready" so that he could at least engage these "flying bombs" before they entered high population airspace. He was also told to have airport security on ultra-high alert. He ignored all of this. Instead, he fired his terrorism advisor, Richard Clarke, who was first hired by Reagan and begged Bush to focus on Bin Laden rather than Saddam. Bush had no patience for anybody who took the focus off Saddam because of a pre-planned attack on Iraq which stemmed from a longstanding neocon goal of regime change (supported by Clinton as well). After the attack Bush made special provisions to let members of Bin Laden family fly out of the country without being interrogated. And Then his administration used intelligence that they were told was extremely suspect to invade Iraq, where over 4,000 Americans were slaughtered. Had Obama done this, he would absolutely be in jail. Republicans would get more than an impeachment for this. It makes Watergate look like a parking violation.
Third, this post is kind of hard to swallow given
Iran-Contra. Reagan said he didn't know that his administration was selling massive amounts of weapons to the world's
leading terrorist nation - than he continued to support many of the people in his administration who were involved.
