I'm not sure why he was railing against the tourism industry, but I believe he meant to say "terrorist". Barry Obama's people have maintained and expanded upon almost all Bush-era foreign policies, why backtrack on this particular one? Oh right, because it's convenient to now and the rules don't matter when considering the actions of the US government.

Now, I'm not too terribly interested for that whole "terrorist" distinction, the beehive of phony discussion surrounding it, or the aggression it is used as an excuse for, but the government most certainly is: the rampant hypocrisy and crass opportunism of these arrogant adventurers is on full display and warrants mention.
