.@BarackObama deliv'd thot-provoking natl security spch.BUT don't undstnd constnt criticism of Bush admin,which creatd terror policy on fly
@speechboy71 No. But not everything is black or white. Both prez justify questionable actions by claiming national security.

@DavidMDrucker Also one must differentiate between POTUS who created policy and the one who inherited -
@speechboy71 Not really. At least not into the second term. I think that applies maybe - maybe - in the first year or two. -
@DavidMDrucker Yes but the policies built on the fly were by and large continued -
@speechboy71 I don't disagree w/ this, which is why I find the constant criticism of his predecessor odd and counter productive. -
@DavidMDrucker I can see that, but I'm not sure it's constant.

@DavidMDrucker I think torture and creating a new category of combatants is fairly black and white. -
@speechboy71 Fair enough. We disagree. I think most is choosing the best of bad options to protect against asymmetrical threat. -
@DavidMDrucker Most of Obama's presidency has been cleaning up messes left by Bush . . .
