Bhutto's Death and Obama's Continued Stupidity

"In an especially charged moment, senior Obama adviser David Axelrod would later tie the killing [of Bhutto] to the Iraq war -- and Clinton's vote to approve it, which he argued diverted U.S resources from fighting terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan, both al-Qaeda hotbeds." - Taken from the Washington Post Online (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/27/AR2007122702514.html?hpid=topnews)

Yes, that's right. Benazir Bhutto's death has not only provided a devastating shock to the world, but has provided another ridiculous opportunity to blame everything on Iraq. Quite frankly, I have had enough...

First things first: This event is not some political opportunity to bash oponents in Iowa, or make yourself look like the best person to direct our foreign policy. It is a tragedy. First and foremost for the people of Pakistan, on the verge of democracy. It is not about us. It about them, and this idea that we are the great Mozart of the world, conducting the security symphony of the world is ridiculous. I doubt there is much the U.S. could have done to deter this attack. I'm not trying to be cynical, just honest. If she lived in the U.S., I think we could have protected her. But she wasn't. She bravely fought in a dangerous place.

What WOULD we have done Barrack? Do you really think that if we were not in Iraq, we could have stopped this? Are you kidding me? Like I said, she was in a very dangerous place. Besides the fact that the Pakistani government is not the most accomodating to U.S. forces. Oh, I know. We could have invaded Pakistan, like we would have in Darfur, and then we could have prevented it. Or, we could just invade where we thought al-Qaeda was, without the permission of the Pakistanis, and without going to the UN. Oh shoot, aren't you the one who is so critical of the coalition formed for Iraq?

IRAQ IS NOT THE ROOT OF OUR PROBLEMS: You can dislike the war in Iraq. Heck, I'm a Republican and it infuriates me that we were so ill prepared after reconstruction began. However, it is intellectually dishonest to blame every problem in the world on Iraq. "If we weren't distracted in Iraq, Afghanistan would be a city of gold, Pakistan would be a democratic, progressive country, Katrina wouldn't have happened, health care would be much better, and Michael Moore wouldn't have had to work sooo hard to make those movies and enlighten us all." This seems to be the common thought process amoung liberals now a days. Everything is Bush's fault, because he knew we'd face problems in Iraq, he knew there wasn't as big a WMD threat as we thought, and clearly he hates America.

I hate to break it to you all, but while the Bush Administration miscalculated, and it has hurt us, Pakistan would not be a safer place if we had not gone in. Katrina still would have happend. Michael Moore would still find a reason to open his big, extremely obese mouth and do his impression of a bull relieving itself. Health care would still be an issue.

Making Iraq out to be the root of all of our problems is purely a political scheme, mean't to not only divide the country, but to give more power to the Democrats. I don't want to hear one word about Carl Rove when Democrats do nothing but demonize the administration. I think it's a little hypocritical to criticize Rove while posting pictures of Bush as the great satan.

Finally - Very Clever, Sneaky Rabbit:Barrack, you must be proud of yourself. Making such ridiculous comments, but having your advisor say them. Brilliant! (Let's get you a Guiness) When everyone hates what you have to say, politicizing the assassination, you don't have to take the blame, because you didn't say it. Wait. Aren't you the goody goody who is going to restore dignity and honor to American politics? Looks like you're making real progress... please. I wish - I really do - that I could support a guy like you. I long for bipartisanship and honorable government. Why oh why do you have to be so stupid?
