From the Washington Examiner<\/a>:<\/p>\n

There’s a new argument emerging among supporters of the Ground Zero mosque. Distressed by President Obama’s waffling on the issue, they’re calling on former President George W. Bush to announce his support for the project, because in this case Bush understands better than Obama the connection between the war on terror and the larger question of America’s relationship with Islam.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So let me get this straight. From pretty much the beginning of combat operations in Afghanistan in October 2001 to his last day in office, George W. Bush was accused of violating the rights of Muslims around the world, was accused of trashing America’s image in the Muslim world, and of course torturing thousands of Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, and GITMO. Now, some of the same people who routinely attacked Bush during his administration for his handling of relations with the Muslim world want him to come out and support the Ground Zero Mosque and save President Obama.<\/p>\n

Maureen Dowd professional Bush-basher:<\/p>\n

“It’s time for W. to weigh in,”\u00a0writes<\/a> the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd. Bush, Dowd explains, understands that “you can’t have an effective war against the terrorists if it is a war on Islam.” Dowd finds it “odd” that Obama seems less sure on that matter. But to set things back on the right course, she says, “W. needs to get his bullhorn back out” — a reference to Bush’s famous “the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” speech at Ground Zero on September 14, 2001.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow. How the world has turned upside down.<\/p>\n

By the way, if I were GWB, I would have three words for these people: Go Fuck Yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
