WonderGrunion's JournalThe big schism on DU appears to be over exactly what we objected to about Bush
When it came to Bush and spying, we objected to the "Warrantless Wiretapping" he was engaged in.
If your objection was to the "Warrantless" part, you don't have as big an issue with President Obama forcing the NSA to go through the FISA courts. If you objected to the "Wiretapping" part, then it is easy for you to say that Obama is continuing Bush-era policies.
When it came to Bush and war, we objected to Iraq because it was a "War Based On Lies".
If your objection was to the "Based On Lies" part, you probably had no issue with the invasion of Afghanistan and applauded President Obama for ending the war in Iraq and completing the objective of Afghanistan by taking out bin Laden, just like Howard Dean. If your objection was to the "War" part, then President Obama is as much a puppet of the Military Industrial Complex as Bush ever was.
There has been some discussion lately about how we were all united under Bush, but now "It's OK If A Democrat Does It". But the things that you may have thought we were untied against aren't necessarily the things we all objected to.
No whining about DU, just trying to add some perspective.
