Have you forgotten that the commander in chief when investigations began into Hasan was Bush?
Touche–good point. But–what would your reaction have been if little Mr. Hasan had been arrested and put into prison? Outrage I suspect. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. And little Mr. Obama has been in office for some months. If its a sin for Bush, why isn’t it a sin for da Won?
Have you forgotten that the illegal wars that drove Hasan to madness were started by Bush?
Exactly how are these wars “illegal?” Just because you put a label on them to that effect doesn’t mean that the label has any validity. Even if, as I suspect you are, one who is erotically bound up with the idea of the UN, look at the history. You can pretend, but nobody else is required to do so, no matter how that offends you.

Have you forgotten the enormous numbers of competent leadership that were driven off by Bush and his advisors?
Yes I have. Name even one. Of course, your idea of “competent leadership”
and mine probably differ significantly.
Bush left the US with its greatest threat to national security in the history of America, a seriously gutted military leadership structure.
Touche again–when we have people in high military positions who say “This terrible event,” Gen. Casey noted, “would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty.”

Perhaps I agree with you here. Anybody who spouts off crap like that should be relieved of their commands.
And I’m sure dat teh One will be the first to lead the charge against them.

Yeah. Right.

I fail to see how a president who inherited this mess and has been in office mere months is solely to blame for this horrible tragedy.
The anti-Bush people set the standards. As you live by the sword, you die by the sword. If anything is wrong it must be the fault of the retard Obama and anybody who supports him, the repulsive little stinking animals they are.

Not to mention that this blog post and lamentable “speech” is a crass use of other’s tragedy for one’s own political agenda-pushing. Ugh. Absolutely disgusting.

Look into the mirror. You are everything you accuse others of doing. And yes–when the points are valid it is disgusting. Very much so.
