No, that's not fair to say. People have been saying for quite some time that violence is counter-productive in the middle-east . Now it is exactly what we've needed all this time, just because a democrat is doing it. I think it's pretty apparent when people put politics above principles, and this is yet another example. It's sad, no matter which side does it. kj.
Again, you're trying to say that opposition to Bush's disastrous 7 year foreign policy and for support for this single mission are incongruous. They are not.
And you're trying to say that I'm arguing Bush's tenure and Obama's are strictly equivalent. No one would say that. But just saying Obama only did the "wrong thing" once isn't a very good defense. Btw, you still haven't explained how Bush's foreign policy was responsible for the "bloody school seizure in Russia and violence related to the disputed Indian territory of Kashmir", as well as the rest of the supposed increase in terrorist activity during Bush's terms, so you can't state it again as if you've established it as fact. You never did. kj.
Goodness. May I toss your word salad?
I haven't said anywhere that Obama did the wrong thing, nor that his "tenure" is strictly equivalent to Bush's.
I have also never claimed that Bush's foreign policy was responsible for the Kashmir incident. His policy was directly responsible for the increase in al Qaeda activity following the invasion of Iraq.
