| In Retrospect, For The Record Bush Was Right |
| 2005-12-01 |
| We are seeing and hearing a lot of Jimmy Carter recently, and we are continually bedeviled by the likes of political opportunists Bill and Hillary Clinton and their endless photo opportunities. Amazing how the protagonists of failed presidencies; presidencies marked with real and salacious scandals, corruption, and failed foreign policies continue to make attempts to redefine their the soiled legacies they've left behind and roles in history, while taking shots at the current administration. On several occasions, Bill Clinton has criticized this President, and how he would have done things differently. Well Mr. Clinton, you did do things differently, and look where it got US; multiple terror strikes during the decade of the 90s, culminating in the most devastating attack on American soil in history. Now the peanut farmer who should never have left the farm is now making his opinions about this President known and what he considers should be American foreign and domestic policy. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter have become poster boys for the Democrat Party in its campaign of defamation against President Bush. Besides the fact that this breaks a longstanding precedent, it also makes it evident the lack of character and integrity these two men have. There are many reasons why former presidents have not involved themselves in debating the political issues of their day, and I won't go into it here because time and space simply precludes such an undertaking; but I will name only one; meddling in the geopolitical arena can and often does undermine the policies of the administration which occupies the seat of power and leadership. It is irresponsible and counter-productive. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton continue to do this. They are meddling in affairs they have no business in and are undermining the security and war effort of this nation. They had their time, Carter four years and Clinton eight years; between the two of them, twelve years - that's more than a decade, and they failed miserably; now they should put up and shut up. If they had any sense of decency, they would keep their comments private, and keep it to themselves, and with the rest of US; stand behind the war effort and support our troops and America's struggle against international terrorism. |
