Get Over It!

[Pistarkle]

FOXifiers, Right Wing pundits, Tea Party leaders, some Republican Lawmakers and Palin just “can’t handle the truth”. They’re flooding the airways giving President Bush full credit for the death of Bin Laden.

First they’re saying that the Bush administration’s “rendition” and “enhanced interrogation “ e.g. water boarding methods led to identifying the whereabouts of Bin Laden. The Associated Press reported that “When one of Osama Bin Laden’s most trusted aides picked up the phone LAST YEAR, he unknowingly led U.S. pursuers to the doorstep of his boss…” Even Donald Rumsfeld stated that “normal interrogation methods…not water boarding” was the method used to identify Bin Laden’s whereabouts.

Secondly, there are actual clips from Bush news conferences where correspondents asked about the status of the search for Bin Laden wherein the former President stated, “I don’t know where he is. I don’t spend much time thinking about it.” During another news conference, President Bush’s response was “I truly am not that concerned about him.”

Thirdly, in 2001 when US Delta Forces had Bin Laden in their crosshairs while in Afghanistan, their request to take action was disapproved by top level Bush administration representatives as high up as the Secretary of Defense.

Fourthly, President Bush allowed his Bin Laden Investigation Unit to shut down in 2009.

Bin Laden was located and disposed of under President Obama’s watch. FOXifiers, Right Wing pundits, Tea Party leaders, some Republican Lawmakers and Palin need to set aside their Aryan blinders and just GET OVER IT!
