It's a Good Time to Be George W. Bush

ABE GREENWALD
"Let's face it, this is shaping up as George W. Bush's best month in years. The last time the 43rd president enjoyed this kind of vindication was when a bedraggled Saddam Hussein was pulled from a hole in the ground by American soldiers in 2003. All of Barack Obama's efforts to cast the Bush administration as an immoral stain on American history have not merely collapsed, but collapsed on the heads of Bush's most public and vocal critics.

Here's a non-stammering Nancy Pelosi talking about Bush last July: "God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States -- a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject."

Don't mind if I do. How about national security? It turns out that support for a criminal investigation of Bush policies yielded an important finding after all: Pelosi's own long-standing agreement with the Bush administration's toughest measures. On that point she's in sync with the rest of the country. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp poll found that Americans approve of the interrogation methods Bush okayed by a margin of 50% to 46%. In other words, she didn't have to go through the condemnation charade to begin with.

President Obama, and the country at large, is finding out that George W. Bush's most controversial policies were not born of ideological delusion, American arrogance, or missionary zeal. They were imperfect but sound (with the exception of our ties to Riyadh) responses to complicated threats. But the validation of the last president runs a very distant second to the most compelling aspect of all this: the drama over CIA interrogations and Guantanamo will hopefully serve to set the administration on a more serious national security course. And it would be helpful if the American public finally dropped moral outrage as the preferred mode of political argumentation."

1. First, before you get pissed off, consider the source and the

motives for writing this claptrap...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentary_(magazine)

Commentary was founded by the American Jewish Committee in 1945, and bills itself as "America's premier monthly magazine of opinion." Initially a strong voice for liberal anti-communism, the magazine turned left during the early 1960s. Starting in the late 1960s it reversed this leftward shift, eventually becoming the flagship of neoconservatism in the 1970s.<1><2><3>

Currently edited by John Podhoretz, its founder and original editor was Elliot E. Cohen. He was succeeded after his death in 1959 by Norman Podhoretz, who served as editor-in-chief until 1995 and is currently the magazine's editor-at-large. Neal Kozodoy was editor between 1995 and January 2009.

The magazine is no longer affiliated with the American Jewish Committee. In 2007, Commentary, Inc., an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit enterprise, became the magazine's publisher.<4>

In January 2007 Commentary launched a new blog contentions.

Business as usual. After 9 long years of Republican War and lies.... the Dems still have not learned: "how to control public opinion through the use of the 10 second sound bite".
