It's okay when we do it.
- wil421 13y agoIts not illegal when we do it. We are the government. Do as we say not as we act.
- Shivetya 13y agoLets be honest here, if Bush were doing this the press and every damn Democrat in Congress would be up in arms and demanding halts and immediate investigations. so a better title would be, If Bush were President we'd ground out fleet.
- saucetenuto 13y agoIf only. All the links I can find are behind paywalls, but do a search for "drone wedding" from 2004 to 2007, and then become sad.
- Kequc 13y agoBush continually did much more heinous shit on a constant almost daily basis than just a semi-accidental strike somewhere. So no, not really. Republicans are the ones halting congress in every single way and doing what you just suggested. It is the entire point of the party. Regressivism is extremely easy, just fight against any changes and if someone ever actually manages to change anything your platform is to change it back. Republicans and Democrats do not do the same thing, I am so tired of hearing about this.
- mikeash 13y agoReally? My recollection of most of the Bush administration was that the Democrats were complete and total doormats for him. They basically laid out the red carpet for him to invade Iraq, which was far worse and far less justified than drone strikes.
- dopamean 13y agoYour recollection is correct. He caught a lot of heat for a lot of things but most of the military stuff was just accepted. Perhaps not quite as much as it is now however.
- badman_ting 13y agoNahh, that's righty persectution-complex stuff.
