In 2000, George Bush campaigned on the promise of ending unnecessary wars we were involved in within 16 months of his presidency. If he did not meet the timeline, does that make him a failure?
What if we invaded a country without reason, and assisted people who would later kill American civilians. It is reported that President Bush showed no interest when learning of the assault, refused help requested by the murdered, and claimed their deaths was caused by a video when it was caused by an organized attack on 911. Do you call him credible?
What if Secretary of State Powell/Rice cheered at watching a foreign leader given mob justice by an angry group to shoot him in the street without trial or jury. In response, the Secretary of State says "We came we saw he died!" Is this Democracy?
What if George Bush campaigned viciously against his predecessor and the use of torture, and promised to close Guantanamo Bay Prison. Five years later Guantanamo was opened and his administration was known to use torture to find and kill Bin Laden. Did he keep his word?
What if Bush was responsible for more civilian deaths over a course of three years, than an entire 7 year stretch of the Afghan War due to drone strikes. Would you give him the Nobel Peace Prize?
Democrat or Liberal, I am curious to know if anyone who voted for Obama considers the actions I mentioned just and okay. Is there anyone who is willing or able to go on record and say they either support Obama's foreign policy actions mentioned (these are factual don't worry), or admit they are a bit jacked up?
