Neither House Speaker John A. Boehner, nor Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, nor Mike Rogers, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, mentioned Obama or the role of U.S. forces in bringing Gadhafi down.Republicans hate the president so much, they just can't bring themselves to credit him for the success of the mission, or even thank American servicemen and women for their service in completing the mission.It is unfortunately true that Repubs have not given sufficient credit to Obama for his foreign policy successes.But given that you personally couldn't cite one single accomplishment Bush had after almost eight years in office, you must be more of a hater than they are.If George W. Bush had killed Osama Bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Muammar Gadhafi, righties would already have him on Mt. Rushmore.Obama very likely never would have found Bin Laden had it not been for coercive interrogation that he opposed and ended.He never could have helped topple Gadhafi had Bush not disarmed him of his advanced WMD programs, including nukes he'd have had a few years ago. Gadhafi gave them up because he saw Saddam Hussein pulled out of his rathole and feared Bush's resolve that might have given him the same fate.You and your leftist buddies can never credit Bush for any of his accomplishments. You're on record on this board denying them.So quit your hypocritical bleating. Edited by RichClem, 28 October 2011 - 10:03 AM.
