Obushma Again Reaffirms Bush

Much was made this week of President Obushma relieving Gen. David McKiernan of his command in Afghanistan and replacing him with Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

What hit me like a Milan Lucic check was that President Obushma did not tap Gen. Eric Shinseki to be the new guy in Afghanistan.

Recall, Gen. Shinseki was the General who said the United States would need “several hundred thousand more troops” in Iraq in order to pacify that country. Members of the Bush Administration were viciously attacked by the liberal extremists who control the media for saying that General Shinseki was “wildly off the mark” for his exaggeration.

Well, as history proved, Gen. Shinseki was “wildly off the mark” as only 30,000 additional troops were needed to pacify Iraq (though, President Obushma is doing his best to lose that which was won).

Nevertheless, when President Obushma asked Gen. Shinseki to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the liberal extremists continuously repeated the lie that President Obushma’s selection was a “repudiation” of Bush since Gen. Shinseki was proved right by Bush’s surge strategy. Liberal extremists equating 200,000+ to 30,000 for those needing a little help keeping up.

The facts are these: President Obushma made staffing changes in Afghanistan and President Obushma kept General Eric Shinseki as far away from the Afghan theater as he possibly could, a decision of President Obushma’s I completely endorse. By the convoluted and twisted logic of liberal extremists, President Obushma has again reaffirmed President Bush.

(Blogger’s Note: While President Obushma and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates were trashing Gen. David McKeirnan out of one side of their mouths, out of the other side they were sharing that they relied on the General’s counsel to support their decision to not selectively release Department of Defense photographs of POWs. There is no word if Gen. Shinseki, the General who was proved to be “wildly off the mark” on his battlefield strategy and who now looks after our wounded troops, was asked his opinion on the selective release of the photographs.)

In an email to my friends at the Boston Globe, I gifted the word to every one who is compelled to use it based on the facts.
