It Wasn't All Bush's Fault
The Washington Post finally said what a lot of us have been thinking....How long can Obama blame the world's problems on Bush? When will he finally wake up and realize that evil regimes existed BEFORE Bush took office? Bush, in fact, didn't make North Korea or Iran evil...but of course Obama and his voters believed that to be the case because they felt it made those regimes turn bad when Bush publicly called them "evil".
And this quote below just makes me feel good to see it in print because it acknowledges what we have been saying all along....that we have been paying bribe money to North Korea.
When the inspectors were ousted in 2002, Democrats blamed Bush. Now Republicans blame Obama -- but North Korea's strategy hasn't changed in 15 years. It provokes a crisis, then demands bribes from the United States and South Korea in exchange for restoring the status quo. The Obama team now faces the same dilemma that bedeviled the past two administrations: It must judge whether to respond to the bad behavior by paying the bribe or by trying to squeeze the regime.
Here's another great observation that may finally dawn on "the messiah"- Obama....the Palestinian-Israeli problem was not caused by Bush.
A second cold shower rained down last week on George Mitchell, Obama's special envoy to the Middle East. For eight years Democrats insisted that the absence of progress toward peace between Israel and its neighbors was due to the Bush administration's failure at "engagement." Mitchell embodies the correction. But during last week's tour of the region he encountered a divided Palestinian movement seemingly incapable of agreeing on a stance toward Israel and a new Israeli government that doesn't accept the goal of Palestinian statehood. Neither appeared at all impressed by the new American intervention -- or willing to offer even token concessions.

This really is a redemptive article to finally have someone in a major newspaper publicy say what most of us have known all along...."George Bush did not start the fire! It was already burning when he got there!"
