The Perfect Purple Moment, Bush Should Share in the Credit of Killing bin Laden
I've already tried to explain (like I should have to do so to anyone intellectually honest enough) about how former president, George W. Bush started the hunt for Osama bin Laden after picking up on any bread crumbs that Bill Clinton's administration left behind concerning al Qaeda and the whereabouts of bin Laden himself.
People are starting to get it, from Nancy Pelosi (unbelievably) thanking Bush for his leadership and his part in the hunt for the terrorist leader, to even MSNBC's Chris Matthews surprising realization that the U.S. SEALS team finding and killing bin Laden under the orders of President Obama was due in big part to Bush, to former Clinton White House Counsel, Lanny Davis, who says that although "some evening TV commentators could not resist the temptation to refer snidely to comments made by then-President George W. Bush, including running TV clips of Bush apparently diminishing the importance of killing bin Laden, saying his death should not be the measurement of America’s success or failure in its war against terror. But this ignores the fact that his comment reflected a general-consensus strategy recommended by both the intelligence community and the Defense Department, i.e., that al Qaeda should not be allowed to declare victory because bin Laden had not yet been caught and/or killed."
"It also ignores that the successful operation completed courageously by President Obama was begun during the Bush years, such as determining the location of the courier that led to finding the bin Laden compound in Abbottabad. Moreover, a fair reading of Bush’s record should grant him some credit for the Terrorist Surveillance Program and “enhanced interrogation techniques.” I was one of many liberal Democratic critics who questioned the legal and constitutional bases of these programs. At the very least, we critics of these programs should now give Bush some credit, since according to reports from the senior administration officials, these controversial tactics contributed significantly to catching bin Laden.

My question is, since all of these liberals see the truth (finally) when will this be the norm when people discuss who's responsible for the silencing of the most evil man since Hitler to have walked the planet? The MSM needs to grow up and do their job.
This all leads to ...
