There is evidently nothing you and Robinson and the rest of the defenders of the faith can't blame on Iraq, and by extension, Bush. Your empty suit has been president now for five years. And in terms of foreign and military policy, he has spent most of that time weakening America and encouraging our enemies. Yet at this late date all you can think to do is protect his shabby reputation and lay the blame elsewhere. This "brilliant scholar," smartest guy in the room, has encouraged Putin and other thugs from day one. "Reset button." "Smart power." "Leading from behind." Bowing and scraping (literally) before various world dictators. Huge cuts to our military. Apology tours. "No reason for America to feel exceptional" Apologizing for weeks about a video he knew had nothing to do with the murders of four Americans.
It has been a graduate level course of liberal Democrat, post Vietnam policy. And we are weaker and less influential and the world is more dangerous as a consequence. Yet, somehow, it's all Bush's fault. Can't you people, just this one time, put down the Obama campaign signs and join the rest of the adults in discussing what we can and should do here? This is serious business. Far more important than protecting the reputation of our feckless president. In the last election, you were all prancing around intoxicated with his brilliance in clipping Bin Laden. Well, that was then and this is now. And the SEALS or a couple of drone strikes can't fix this. Defending Obama like the Texicans did at the Alamo can't, either. And neither can sending Susan Rice out with more lies.
