“‘There’s been a lack of acknowledgement by our president in understanding what it is that the American military provides in terms of, obviously, the safety, the security of our country,’ Palin said during an interview with Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren. ‘I want him to acknowledge the sacrifices that these individual men and women — our sons, our daughters, our moms, our dads, our brothers and sisters — are providing this country to keep us safe.’
“‘They’re making sacrifices,’ said Palin, who visited the Army base at Fort Bragg on Monday as part of her ongoing book tour. ‘They’re putting so much on hold right now so that the homeland can be safe and they can fight for democratic ideals around our world. I want to see more acknowledgment and more respect given to them.’
“Asked specifically what she’d like to see more of from Obama, Palin said, ‘I want to see them equipped. I want to see them given everything that they need, including strategies — a surge strategy in Afghanistan, for one — so that they know that they’re there for victory, they’re not there just biding their time as lives are being lost.’”

Bush team ‘agreed plan to attack the Taliban the day before September 11′
Let’s pause to simmer in that for a moment. The day BEFORE the September 11 attacks. Got that? BEFORE. That means a plan was being thought of and worked on BEFORE so he couldn’t have been doing nothing.
It goes on:
Being the source is the Guardian it feels compelled to go on to say the Clinton “and Bush” administrations had “repeatedly put off” coming up with a plan, an assertion as it pertains to Bush being completely non-sensical and in fact baseless.

What would Palin have Obama do to acknowledge?
I’m not sure I get this one.

Yes, I read that, but I don’t really understand what she’s calling a “win.”
But then, I guess it was just a quick comment type deal.

She wants him to stop looking at the troops as a great photo op and look at them as most Americans do, simply the best of the best.

Sigh, I know–it’s all about the “buttons”…I’ve been caught too…but this one is just so ignorant–it’s like the little fish you throw back because it’s not worth anything…

Rather than just being informed of a possible terrorist attack at a major airport, GW needed to know the exact time and place of the event too to do anything.

The day before the September 11 attacks,the Bush administration agreed on a plan
Let’s pause to simmer in that for a moment. The day BEFORE the September 11 attacks. Got that? BEFORE. That means a plan was being thought of and worked on BEFORE so he couldn’t have been doing nothing.
It goes on:
to oust the Taliban regime in Afghanistan by force if it refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, according to a report by a bipartisan commission of inquiry.
