You have to say one thing about the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived If Indeed He Were a Person, and everyone who was associated with their disastrous Administration: Their shamelessness knows no bounds.
Here are two former Bush/Cheney officials quoted in an analysis of President Obama's careful weighing of troop casualties in war:
“He never had the steel and fire to be a wartime president. You have to be able to give orders to send people into harm’s way. You have to have the hardness to make those decisions.” (Eliot Cohen, State Department)
“One quality I missed in Obama was passion...I worked for Obama longer than Bush, and I never saw his eyes well up." (Robert Gates, Defense Secretary)
Incredible. First, as SEAL Team Six can attest, Obama has never shied away from sending people into big-time danger. Second, on the question of "passion": Is Gates serious? Is he really saying that it's better to start a needless war on false pretenses and kill 4,500 American soldiers (and God knows how many Iraqi civilians) out of sheer vanity — as long as you get teary about it?
We cats couldn't care less how many times the Worst Person's "eyes welled up" over troops whose lives he squandered for nothing. Give us a thoughtful President who engages in careful deliberations before committing force, and who visits U.S. mortuary officers in Afghanistan and shows up at Dover Air Force Base in the middle of the night. Bush, who so blithely sent men and women to die on a lie, apparently never did. We cats HISS.
