if you didn't want that inference made, you perhaps should have paid more attention to what you wrote.

"Why is someone critical of Obama necessarily pro-Bush?"
I haven't said one word to laud the behavior of the prior administration.
It wasn't an implication on my part so much as an assumption on your part.
And, as I believe our president ought have had better insight as to the potential outcome, I stand by my position that we've been "fucked."
I'm sorry if my inflammatory language provoked a partisan reflex, but I would have said the same if it was a Republican administration who moved this case to a civil court.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
