William McGurn in the pages of the Wall Street Journal<\/a> writes this morning that President Obama is finally admitting that President Bush was right about a lot of stuff related to the war against terrorists. But like Arthur Fonzerelli he can’t quite get the words out that Obama has been wrong;<\/p>\n

“I think that the most important thing for the public to understand,” he told Ms. Couric, “is we’re not handling any of these cases any different than the Bush administration handled them all through 9\/11.” Mr. Obama went on to add that “190 folks”\u2014folks presumably just like the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks\u2014had been tried and convicted in civilian court during Mr. Bush’s tenure.<\/p>\n

Leave aside, for just a moment, the substance. Far more arresting is that Mr. Obama now defends himself by invoking a man he has spent the past year blaming for al Qaeda’s growth. You know\u2014all those Niebuhrian speeches about how America had gone “off course,” “shown arrogance and been dismissive,” and “made decisions based on fear rather than foresight,” thus handing al Qaeda a valuable recruiting tool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how that works, huh? All of that talk about “critical thinking” and dissent being patriotic doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell when it’s all put into practice. “Critical thinking” means putting your thumb in your ass and looking pleased with yourself. <\/p>\n
