Bin Laden is Dead 2

Okay, new revelation for me on the Bin Laden thing.  Apparently not only was this accomplishment not a brilliant change of strategy, it is a strategy that was criticized by democrats during the Bush administration.  Turns out that Seal 6, one of the best special ops teams in the world, was called Cheney's kill team by Democrats.  Or something like that.  Usually I would check on the information, but this is so in character for the democratic party that I didn't waste the time.  Apparently, Democrats are opposed to dropping out of the sky and killing our enemies on the spot only during a Republican administration and they are perfectly fine with claiming credit for continuations of successful Republican strategies that they were criticizing only a few years ago.  If you don't think I'm right, compare the war in Iraq with the war in Libya.  What exactly, except for boots being on the ground in Iraq, makes the two different?  Both leaders slaughtered their own people.  Both leaders were abhorrent dictators.  The only difference I can think of is that there was a significant possibility that Iraq, our enemy, was acquiring nuclear weapons at the time, while Libya was our ally and had given up all plans for Nuke.  But, of course, even while we are escalating the Libyan conflict, the media is taking this opportunity to remind us how stupid the war in Iraq was.  How unjust the war in Iraq was.  How if we had just done things Obama's way from the first we would be so much better off.  EVEN THOUGH OBAMA IS USING A SYNONYMOUS STRATEGY TO THE ONE BUSH USED IN A SIMILAR SITUATION AT THIS MOMENT.

In fact, at this point, the only thing I can think of that has changed in our foreign policy is that we now have no consistent foreign policy and now only try to keep switching sides so that we end up on the winning one.  Just look at the beginning of the Egyptian affair.  How many times did this administration appear to change from wanting Mubarak out to wanting him to stay, to wanting him to stay a little bit, to not knowing what we thought, and so on and so forth until finally the Egyptian people ousted him, and we quickly congratulated ourselves on what a great job we'd done in freeing all those people.

This is turning into a long rant.  I think I should stop.  Please feel free to comment.
