Obama: Bush Was Right Along

While Barack Obama didn't say those words, he might as well have.

His Justice Department recently filed papers with federal courts to justify the continued detention of people we believe are terrorists or support them such as the detainees at Guantanamo. While the Obama administration won't use the phrase "enemy combatant" as Bush did, it isn't the phrase that matters, but instead the substance which is fundamentally the same as Bush's policy.

This further highlights the destructive politics of the Democrats of the past several years: intense opposition to Bush's anti-terrorism policy which weakened our posture against the enemy, but apparently doing so for political advantage rather than out of genuine conviction.

  1. yup ---- just call it by another claim, call it your own policy, and have Dems support it. unfreakinbelievable. Just like the proposal to tax healthcare.... shocker. That was McCain's idea that BO balked at while campaigning.
