If the murderous bloodshed of September 11, 2001 had taken spot although Barack Obama had been President of the United States, and his reaction and subsequent retaliation had followed precisely the route that George W. Bush had taken, without doubt he would not only have been branded the greatest wartime commander in the historical past of all humankind by the mainstream media, but he would have garnered my assist without having a scintilla of equivocation. If, however, beneath the exact same scenario, with the rubble in decrease Manhattan nevertheless smoldering, President Obama would have named for an quick summit of Muslim leaders (and a activity power or two to boot) to figure out not only why like a tragedy occurred, but precisely what the United States would will need to switch in its foreign policy to preserve the peace, I would have says adamantly and ferociously that I did not support the President. Hence, applying this example, I submit that to claim support for the President devoid of supporting his policies is specifically the identical as indicating that a person supports the troops with out supporting the war. It is a nonsensical declaration. It is not achievable. It is really common, for instance, to hear people say they aid the war work in Afghanistan but not in Iraq. Although that is not my position, one is absolutely entitled to feel that way. If that is, in truth, the situation, then it is intellectually dishonest to say that somebody who usually takes that place supports the troops in Iraq..
