Bush / Cheney effort against AQ was ineffective. Made for TV bullshit.[/quote]
Gandalf: If the Bush/Cheney effort was ineffective, why is Obama continuing/following their policies?
Gitmo remains open. Rendition continues. Drone strikes continue. Patriot I/II remain in effect. Large scale commitment in Iraq continues. Supposed “thorough investigations of intelligence practices during the Bush Administration” by Eric Holder and the DOJ have either been tabled or significantly watered down.
I’m sorry, but Obama, for all the rhetoric and promises, has done little to change his predecessor’s policies and, in point of fact, is continuing them or expanding them.
