Cheney: Stop ‘dithering’ on Afghanistan troops

So, you agree that if it was wrong for Bush to 'fiddle', then it is just as wrong for The Obama to do the same.

Please don't try to put your words in my mouth. I've said no such thing.

So which is it, because that is the impression I got from your vague posting as well.

How does the fact that Bush did something wrong make it any less wrong for The Obama to do the same?

It doesn't, it does show the hypocrisy of those on the right that gave Bush a free pass on this, but only bitch about Obama doing it.

OK...

Do you or do you not agree that if it was wrong for Bush to 'fiddle', then it is just as wrong for The Obama to do the same.

And so, you're attacking the messenger in the hopes of making the message go away.
 
Any favorites? (I dove Grand Cayman but Antigua is nice too. Ever been there?)
I've been to Antigua, St Thomas, St Croix, Grand Cayman, PR and Cuba.

Not at all, I happen to think Obama is in the wrong on this, however where was your outrage when Bush did this? Oh yeah, non-existent.

Your impression is politically skewed. (Big shock, that.)

The topic at hand is Cheney's complaint that the Obama administration is "dithering" in response to a requested troop increase (see thread title and OP for further information).

I have simply pointed out Cheney's hypocrisy, in that his administration "dithered" far longer and did not come close to filling multiple troop requests by commanders on the ground in Afghanistan.

Yes -- you attacked the man and ignored the message.
That's called 'misdirection' and 'obfuscation'.

You know, everyone says this kind of thing, and they never bother to see if it's true or not -- if it's even verifiable at all.

Well then, prove me wrong and show us where the conservatives here were up in arms over Bush delaying.
 
One can only wonder why you didnt lead with that....

One wonders why you never bitched about Bush doing this, but now you care when Obama does it.

More misdirection and obfuscation -- -I- am not the toipic of disuccsion here, The Obama is.

You made the claim that they weren't, so it's up to you to prove it. :shrug:

The hypocrisy of the right is indeed part of the topic. Sorry you don't like the facts pointed out to you.

You can't prove a negative. Show me where they said something about it. I haven't seen it.

Then you find yourself in the quandary of not being able to support your assertions. Not my problem. Do your own work.

And the hypocricy of the left?
Those that criticized Bush and are giving The Obama a pass?
That must be part the topic as well.

What do you think of those that are doing that?

Indeed, those that gave Obama a pass on this while criticizing Bush are hypocrites as well.

I'll take that as a concession from you thank you.

The right didn't have a problem with Bush doing it but they have a problem with Obama doing it.

Sorry that you don;t like the facts pointed out to you - noting that you cannot supprt your position, and that being your poblem, isnt a concession.
