Just because we were against it when Bush did it, does NOT mean we are hypocrites now

62. you mess up the order though

Bush did BAD things with what was presented to him
We condemmed the BAD things Bush did when Richard Clarke told him the memo in the weeks prior
and what followed that in 2001.

If we LIKED what Richard Clarke said then, well recently Richard Clarke said in an op-ed piece which I put on this very board a few weeks ago, that DRONES are the most humane way in wars one can think of, and that collateral damage is so many times LESS than any other method.
I.E. drones are good thing compared to hand to hand war.

So just because Bush did 100% bad, does not equate to the same thing.

What I think you are saying would be akin to saying
let's go to the top of the Empire State building
and Johnny and Jim go to the top of the Empire State Building
Johnny jumps off.
Jim does not jump off.
Both have the same thing- a most wonderful view of NYC in all directions.
Johnny and Jim had the same thing. But what they did on top of the Empire State building
that was different.

Some people went to see the Dark Knight movie last year, myself included.
One person took a gun or more and went to see the Dark Knight movie last year
Same path, same movie
Yet the one person took away the consittutional rights to a free and peaceful assembly because of the one person's 2nd amendment right to bring a gun into the streets
So again, everyone went to that movie.
two different motives.


And they don't call Poppy Bush Poppy for nothing.
