For years now Democrat’s have been playing politics with our security as a nation.
They inflated the Bush Administration’s involvement with Abu Ghraib (which was basically zero) to the extent that some of the Dem’s in Congress tried to suggest that Cheney had ordered this treatment of detainee’s, even when they absolutely knew it was an isolated incident. It didn’t matter that it would inflame middle easterner’s, they played it for the political points.
Time and again the Dem’s tried to subvert our battle effort’s by repeating the war was lost, when Bush wanted to increase troop levels. Demagoguery is a friend of theirs. The troop morale be damned, they had political points to score against a weakened President.
They increasingly harangued against Gitmo and insinuated torture was being carried out there, even when they had visited the place numerous times, and saw the over the top special treatment the detainee’s there receive. Since most American’s don’t get to visit Gitmo, it was easy to keep the lie going for political effect.
Dianne Feinstein (D) California, has been a vocal critic of the war, yet her husbands company made hundreds of millions from the war in government contract’s. John Murtha (D) Pennsylvania, has called our soldiers murderers, while his nephew raked in millions from war contract’s. Yet, if you listened to the media, the only people that made money from the war were Cheney-Bush cronies in Halliburton. In fact, they said it was the only reason we were in the war!
To date, the Dem’s have succeeded in destroying the Republican Party through their attacks on the Bush Administration, which continue even today.
Their strategy is to move the ball away from thing’s going wrong in the Obama Administration. Stay focused on Bush and his perceived misdeeds and use a willing press to help keep Obama and the Dem’s afloat.
It’s worked quite successfully, as Obama is socializing our country into oblivion, and no one is saying a word. People think, at least he’s better than Bush.
Problem number one has appeared when they got greedy and wanted to prosecute Bush people. This wouldn’t be a problem, except it exposes them to hypocrisy, because shock of shocks, the Dem’s knew about our interrogation techniques all along!
Back when public sentiment was for prosecuting war against those that hurt us, the Dem’s were quite fine with using “whatever you have to” to glean information from the bad guys. That’s what Chuck Schumer (D) of New York said when told about the various interrogation techniques.
He later went on to be one of the most vocal Bush critic’s screaming at the top of his hypocritical lungs that we should close Gitmo, and not be water boarding anyone.
Now Nancy Pelosi (D), Speaker of the House, who was all for prosecuting Bush people, has been discovered to have known about the technique herself as far back as 2002. I’m shocked, I tell you.
Today, the Obama Administration denied Cheney’s request to release the minutes from ALL of the meeting’s they had with congressional member’s and staff. I wonder why? Politics, maybe? Maybe we might find out just who is telling the truth and who is not?
If it stays a war of words, a he said/she said/they said thing, the Dem’s will win because they have a willing media on their side. They know this, so don’t expect to see those minutes any time soon. It will only be if they are forced to by FOIA request’s. It will not be because they want the truth out there for the nation to see.
The last thing a Democrat wants is the truth. Lies, innuendo, demagoguery, and obfuscation works much much better when playing politics, Democrat style.
Cheers!
