Greenwald on the bush admin back in the day..

Greenwald on the Bush Admin

I had not abandoned my trust in the Bush administration. Between the president’s performance in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the swift removal of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the fact that I wanted the president to succeed, because my loyalty is to my country and he was the leader of my country, I still gave the administration the benefit of the doubt. I believed then that the president was entitled to have his national security judgment deferred to, and to the extent that I was able to develop a definitive view, I accepted his judgment that American security really would be enhanced by the invasion of this sovereign country.

TDB

freakin' hypocrite.

I hope this comes to pass.. that Samson does give christy to Fishman..

“Don’t underestimate what Wildstein has on Christie,” says one source. “And Wildstein and Baroni have both turned on Samson. If Samson doesn’t give Fishman Christie, Samson is toast.”

What a snarling rats' nest. What's with the "Jimmy Fallon and his viewers"? Are they saying Christy is home free?

From your link.. when smirk was still smirking..

That one graphic with the monsters laughing at "people are actually blaming Obama" needs to be

qualified.. The so called "people" blaming Pres Obama are the braindead idiots who bought bush's LIES in the first place.



Thank you, napkinz!

Of course he is..

"What the president is focused on is a comprehensive strategy, not just a quick military response," a senior administration official said. "While there may potentially be a military component to it, it's a much broader effort."

Thank you, President Obama..

"..we have not added a single person to the GTMO population since President Obama took office, and we have had substantial success delivering swift justice to terrorists through our federal court system.

Indeed, since 9/11, we have used the federal court system to convict and incarcerate hundreds of terrorists. The effective use of the criminal justice system has resulted in the debriefing, conviction and incarceration of U.S. citizens and non-citizens for acts of terrorism committed inside the United States and around the world. The system has repeatedly proven that it can successfully allow us to gather intelligence, handle the threat that we continue to face, and prosecute terrorists."

I imagine some get influenced by the prevailing "media narrative" and by other

online bait and click narratives.

"But this is all wrong. You should judge leaders by their achievements, not their press, and in terms of policy substance Mr. Obama is having a seriously good year. In fact, there’s a very good chance that 2014 will go down in the record books as one of those years when America took a major turn in the right direction."

thanks Newsjock and Paul Krugman
