Bush may have done us a BIG FAVOR, maybe it's time to have ****THE**** Discussion
They want the president SHUT UP on this entire discussion.
McCain says: "I think we are in a war against Islamic extremism, and I think that war is worldwide"
To Edwards that idea is a bumper sticker.
Kerry wanted it all to be nuanced nuisance not a war.
Obama says it's all fear mongering.
Senator Barack Obama responded sharply on Friday to attacks on his foreign policy, linking President Bush and Senator John McCain as partners in "the failed policies" of the past seven years and criticizing them for "hypocrisy, fear peddling, fear mongering."Confronting a major challenge to his world view, Mr. Obama tried to turn the tables on his critics, saying they were guilty of "bluster" and "dishonest, divisive" tactics. He cited a litany of what he called foreign policy blunders by the Bush administration and accused Mr. McCain, the presumed Republican nominee, of "doubling down" on them.
"George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for," Mr. Obama said at a midday forum here, listing the Iraq war, the strengthening of Iran and groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, Osama bin Laden's being still at large and stalled diplomacy in other parts of the Middle East among their chief failings.
"If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States of America," Mr. Obama said, "that is a debate I am happy to have any time, any place."
Fine....let's have the national debate and a divide on the issue.
Let's have the debate so all of history can record
who stood where with no doubt over it
Who and what are we fighting, and why?
Front and center.
