You tell 'em Steny:
“We're tough on terrorists. That’s our policy. That’s our performance. And, in fact, we've been more successful,” Hoyer said at his weekly press availability.
BushCo and their chest-thumping P.R. games weren't exactly effective in fighting terrorism. Under their watch, we lost over 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Magically, their collective memory started working on September 12. The GOP can't seem to grasp who was in charge 24 hours earlier.
In fact, they can't stand the idea that the Obama administration has been on the ball and made them look even more like the incompetent, arrogant peacocks that they were. They insist that the socialist Marxist from Kenya, the "outsider" is soft on terrorism. They should be supporting his efforts and unifying the country, not playing politics and trying to divide it... again.
In fact #2: "Justice" was a bad word from 2001-2008.
In fact #3: Hating Obama trumps national security.
In fact #4: Obama doesn't need to thump his chest and dress up in flight suits. He calmly, sensibly puts criminals and terrorists behind bars. He keeps us safe, BushCo posed.
In fact #5: And Obama does it without torturing a soul. Imagine.
So who exactly made us "less safe" again, Dickless McHeartStent? Liz? ::crickets::
Hoyer:
“We've been more successful in Pakistan [...] We're focused on where terrorism began — not began but was launched against us — in Afghanistan, which the Bush administration essentially ignored and, as a result, after seven years had a festering, worsening situation inherited by this administration.”
As for those pesky Miranda rights that have monopolized the right-wing-memes lately:
The suspect arrested in the Times Square incident, Faisal Shahzad, was read his rights by U.S. authorities early Tuesday.
“I think it doesn't have a great deal of credibility, carping about that. Because, of course, that's the way Bush handled [it],” Hoyer said. “[Saying], 'It wasn't wrong when Bush did it but now it's wrong'? I don't think that sells.”
