Democrats more interested in Bush-bashing than al-Qaida killing

There is a stereotype that Democrats abhor, that they're soft on defense and are more interested in talking things out -- almost certainly to the advantage the opposition -- than protecting America's national security.

The problem for them is, that for the past 30 years, it's been absolutely true. The group of disgusting wimps currently in Washington proved it yet again over the past few days, screaming about some "secret" Bush-era program that they weren't told about.

We know that CIA Director (and career bureaucrat) Leon Panetta shut down the program and that you've got idiots like Diane Feinstein and nitwit Nancy Pelosi screaming that Dick Cheney has done something criminal. Ok, so what is this program? Is it some kind of domestic surveillance program? Is it the arrest of American citizens without probable cause or a warrant?

None of the above. It was a program intended to kill and kidnap members of al-Qaida in foreign countries.

Yep, that's it. Kill the people who wanted to kill us. Big whoopee. I don't have a problem with this, and I doubt a lot of other Americans do, either.

Of course, you haven't heard a whole lot of about the real intention of the program, because it's not as sexy (to the media) as the evil Cheneymonster hatching another plot to harm the American people. After all, the intention isn't what's important--it's that it was hidden from Congress, right? EVIL BUSH! EVIL CHENEY! DAMN THEM!

Except it's a lie.

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden has violently refuted the Democrat allegations, saying they damned sure well were told about the program. And, if that wasn't good enough for the lefties, how about these statements directly from the president himself:

“All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. Many others have met a different fate. Let’s put it this way — they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies.” (2003 State of the Union Address; comment met with applause from both sides of the aisle)

“In response to attacks on our home soil, we have captured or killed terrorists across the Earth.” (2005 radio address)

So this is an outrage? This program is worth eliminating? Why? What the hell is wrong with offing a bunch of lousy frigging terrorists whose interest is killing Americans, Brits, other Europeans, Indians, Saudis and whoever else looks at them funny?

The only people in America who would have a problem with this are on the left side of the aisle. Their biggest, dumbest mouths are currently in D.C. I certainly hope someone's taking score on all this, because they have no interest in defending the nation from terror; they only have an interest in villifying two guys who made them look stupid for six years.

The 2010 midterms can't get here fast enough to dispatch some of these morons. They're repulsive.
