It remained the Republican&#8217;s only winning issue through most of President Bush&#8217;s second term, and it&#8217;s a particular problem for a Democrat who hasn&#8217;t served in the military. But the policy problem is that it takes up a great deal of the administration&#8217;s time, and will from here on out &#8211; particularly when the Senate Intelligence Committee starts hearings in a couple of weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here you have it. So sayeth Cokie, queen of the gasbags. All Democrats are weak, weak, weak on national security. It&#8217;s fine with Cokie and the Villagers that most of the Bush and Cheney team refused to serve in the military when they had the chance, but during the Bush years the Villagers never questioned Republicans over their military experience or commitment to national security. Yet, it&#8217;s just Jim Dandy to question a Dem&#8217;s military creds. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nevermind the fact that Bush was a fighter pilot in the National Guard and that Cheney was too old to be drafted for combat service in Vietnam. But no one ever questioned the Bush administration&#8217;s military experience or commitment? Really? <\/p>\n<p>Did I dream the 2004 election campaign? The whole misinterpretation of Bush&#8217;s DD214 and his performance evaluations which were read and commented upon by obviously illiterate baboons every night? The flocks of Democrats who tried to tell us that John Kerry&#8217;s Vietnam service trumped Bush TXNG service? The same dorks who placed such a high value on Cheney&#8217;s pre-Vietnam draft deferments who won&#8217;t even mention Biden&#8217;s deferments during Vietnam?<\/p>\n<p>So <a href=\"http:\/\/firedoglake.com\/2010\/01\/05\/how-to-be-a-national-security-expert\/\">Eli from FDL<\/a> explains to us how Obama can become a national defense expert;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;what really makes someone a Serious Qualified Expert on national security is a little voice in their head screaming \u201cAAAAAHHHH!!! The scary brown people are coming to kill us we have to kill them first OMG OMG OMG!!!\u201d 24 hours a day, and the ability to bedwet on command.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>If Obama can develop an appropriately irrational fear and hatred of Muslims, then no one will care that he\u2019s never served in the military.  I suggest that he pretend that all Muslims are, alternately, health industry CEOs and progressive bloggers \u2013 that should make him a respected national security expert in no time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An irrational fear of Muslims? Really? The scary brown people? How naive and immature. Just days after an attempt on the lives of hundreds of folks peacefully flying into Detroit from Amsterdam, and countless others beneath their flight path. Weeks after one of those &#8220;brown people&#8221; shot scores of his comrades at Fort Hood. Months after a Muslim shot two Army privates catching a smoke break in Little Rock.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my advice for those two if they want to be national defense experts; abandon the childish baby crap and act your freakin&#8217; age. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, I&#8217;m no expert on national security planning, but I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m smarter than Crooks &hellip; <a title=\"The Left and their irrational babbling\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=16498\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Left and their irrational babbling<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,46,28,7,52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-barack-obama","category-bloggers-and-stuff","category-terror-war","category-usual-suspects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
