Chris Mathews OFF his meds again!
Why this guy has a program is beyond me. He is the WORST interviewer I’ve ever heard. He ask a question 5 different ways, then answers it himself...what planet???
Also, isn't 0bama the president that was supposed to make the world love us in the wake of the Bush presidency? Two years, later and folks are still angry at us...I don't think you can blame that on Bush.
There is as much chance that Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhour are to blame for this because of Operation Ajax back in 1953 Iran when the USA helped to overthrow Mohammed Mossadeq and re-install the Shah of Iran. But Chris Matthews probably is ignorant of that event.
In that case, these Egyptians are going to love their life under Muslim Brotherhood rule. Their standard of living will improve to nearly that of those in the Gaza Strip.
OTOH, if this all turns out well then the Bush meme will disappear and the Obama the Foreign Policy Master meme will emerge - just more O-magic brought to you by the MSM.
Trying anything to deflect the blame zer0 is going to be catching.
Won’t work. Zer0s watch
To a certain degree you are right...Democratic Regime Change was indeed a part of the Bush Doctrine. My suspicion is that the State Department develops startegy that is intended to endure from administration to administration. They just give the name of that strategy to the president that is seated in the White House at the time.

Does anyone really that Jimmy Carter really developed the Carter Doctrine? After all, he's been against his own doctrine ever since he left the White House.

It is all the idiot knows.
He hasnt anything else. Without Bush to blame Chrissy the sissy is out of business.
Probably?
And I owe the FReeper who said that Bush would be blamed for this money.
Just throwin this out there - feeling generous...
A “news” show that immediately follows the CM boondogle with the sole purpose of refudiating everything he says.
Kind of like a “point counterpoint” type of thing.
Gotta go all in tho. Can’t just say well, hannity , levin, rush will refudiate.
Show needs to be called something to call out Matthews. Something provacative
Mubarik has been there for 30 years. How can you blame that on Bush? Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and now Obama have been president since this monarchy took over. Take a look at the fact that a lot of the worlds oil passes through the Suez Canal, and that Mubarik is better than having terrorists control the canal. Now we can look at why American presidents and Americans in general remain slaves to the oil coming from the middle east. Its time to drill for our own oil, supply ourselves with energy and get the hell out of the anarchy that eventually comes around when supporting any nation in the middle east. Examples are Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, etc....
The war in Iraq did not spur on this battle. It happens because the power grab always results in the monarchs getting rich while the people suffer.
I'm not blaming Bush for Mubarik. Bush basically told Mubarik via a Condi speech in Cairo 2005 that he needed to get his act together. Mubarik didn't get the message. That Bush/Condi policy is now playing out. It may turn out well and it may not. If it plays out well then it will be Obama Policy. If it turns out poorly then it will be Bush Policy.
In any case you can listen to that Condi speech yourself HERE
I’m sorry if I jumped on you over it, but I am tired of blaming Bush for everything. A brief history of the middle east from WWII forward makes it easy to understand that then and now, the real issue comes down to our dependence on oil. There is little chance that this turns out good. I think it results in anarchy that will hurt all western nations as we continue to pussy foot around with the oil producing nations.
I think it’s time that MSNBC be officially made an annex of Bellevue.
