So now Bush is responsible for a culture of politcal correctness that has been infecting the institutions of this country for 40 years.

You’re taking BDS to a whole new level here.

Bush should be blamed...he was an idiot and we have lost untold amounts of freedom with his stupid policies, he helped usher in Obama and what good did any of it do?

He opened the door for a fascist takeover of our country.

"...Never before has a nation had its core principles subverted to a suicidal tendency..."

. Mark Steyne had a few choice phrases today—the first and third apply to Homeland Security:

1) "Better dead AND nice"

2) "Scrooge McDuck Mentality"

3) "Embrace of Stupidity"

The never-say-die Pavlovian ‘bot pack swarms are truly frightening...identical to liberals - impervious to fact, undeterred by reality, ignorant of history.

Their idea of humor is to post “Bush’s Fault” at every opportunity and then hijack any thread even tangentially related to Bush.

He’s a very bad memory from a year ago and the reason we have Obama; we now have to simultaneously contend with two diabolical enemies, Islam and Communism.

Thanks George.

We longer have any vision or strategic thinkers in this country. It is all about self-preservation, self-promotion and corruption.

It has led to the demise of EVERY single great civilization since the dawn of time and the sheeple just don’t get it!

The CO2mmunists are truly at our door steps now!

Sigh - now they are going to blame Bush...

So let me get this straight: Napolitano says this guy was a loner and had no material help. Now they are claiming (and giving creedence) a day later to the "fact" that two released Gitmo folks were behind this. Talk about lightning about-face matched with convenient info within 72 hours.

The real cost of this, as of now, strategy is to put the brakes on Continental Club Gitmo. Without being too conspiratorial it sure seems convenient that just as O and Co. are leaking that Gitmo might not be closed until 2011 they get a perfect excuse to delay. Problem is they are forced to make the very argument that Bush did as far as the danger of repatriation and moving detainees to US soil. Don't even get me started on the civil trials.

Earlier a congressrat from Illinois said someone in the 0 admin admitted that transferring Gitmos to IL did provoke security problems. I forget his name. It’s on FR somewhere.

That isn’t what I said at all.
All I said is -let’s be consistent.

All presidents get grief for problems that exist under their time in office.

We rightly give Obama grief for the whacky groupthink that exists underneath him.

I think the Bushies actually did quite well in preventing more attacks, so it was with disappointment when I learned of the Hasan situation and how PC thinking had infected our own military to the extreme that even an obviously crazed jihadist was “counseling” our soldiers.

This didn’t happen under Clinton - it happened under Bush.
Who do you think should receive the fallout for that?
