As GOPers begin increasingly using the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner to score political points, 2 Dems are blaming the Bush admin for events that led directly to the failed attack.Hell yes. Now that is what I'm talking about.
While many Dems stay silent and let the WH lead the way, DCCC chair Chris Van Hollen and Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) say the previous admin let down their guard.
"In general, we are facing the consequences of the Bush administration's failures to deal with al Qaeda," Van Hollen told Hotline OnCall. "The Republicans have no business in pointing fingers at the Obama administration on terrorism and national security."
"The Obama administration has been much more aggressive about going after al Qaeda than the Bush administration, which turned its focus from al Qaeda to Iraq," he added. The Obama admin has "been on the offense in places where the Bush administration had taken its eye off the ball."
Meanwhile, Massa has taken on ex-VP Dick Cheney, who he says is directly responsible for releasing the top al Qaeda figures in Yemen who aided and trained the Nigerian-born suspect.
"I would remind the American public that the apparent leaders of the al Qaeda cell in Yemen were 2 terrorists who were released by Vice President Cheney in secret. I think there's a level of accountability that has to be levied personally on the vice president," Massa said in an interview. "He is personally responsible for that."
And the truth shall set you free!
EPIC WIN.

You know, this is nice. It needs to happen a lot more regularly. It should have been from the start.
It's always interesting to see liberals forget their talking points during the Bush years. All we heard from them from 2002-2009 was how BushCo was hyping the terror threat and we even had several leftie media personalities downplaying the terror plots the Bushites stopped. President Bush was under tremendous pressure from a hostile Democratic Congress, so he had no choice, but to release those two terrorists. Perhaps Bushie should've stuck to his guns and given the finger to the likes of Pelosi and Reid...
I do remember liberals also balking at the notion that released terrorists would return to jihadism, claiming that GITMO was a recruiting tool for terrorists. I wonder what the recruiting tool was for 9/11...
Epic win?! Nah, far from it...
Oh and I forgot how liberals cheered when the Supremes ruled against Bush on detainee "rights." I take back what I said about Bush sticking to his guns, as his hands were tied by the SCOTUS ruling. Boy, Scalia was right...
And I do remember Cheney being the one that released these two jokers secretly. Not Obama. Not the "Liberals".
You lose this argument Doc, but thanks for playing.
