Dans cet article sur le site de Politico, il n'est pas question que d'Obama. Il est tout de même étonnant que des républicains utilisent des arguments qu'on reprochait aux républicains il n'y a pas si longtemps...
"Republicans spent the past decade being shocked and stunned by Democrats who dared to question their president’s motives for going to war in Iraq.
The late liberal lion, Sen. Ted Kennedy, took an extra large heaping of abuse from the right for his constant attacks on George W. Bush’s character as commander in chief. One low point for political civility was when Kennedy said the war in Iraq was “made up in Texas” for political
The House Republican leader at the time called the remarks “hateful,” “disgusting” and attacked the Massachusetts senator for “insulting the president’s patriotism.”
Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, characterized this and other similar Kennedy comments as “paranoid lunacy.”
I seem to remember him calling Kennedy’s words “shameful.”
And they were.
Can you imagine any United States senator stooping so low as to suggest that our commander in chief would risk the safety of American troops for political purposes?
Sadly, I can.
That’s why I wasn’t surprised to see GOP politicians lining up to question the president’s character in recent days when the topic of Iraq came up again.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham practically lifted Kennedy’s words line for line when he told CBS’s Bob Schieffer that “Iraq and Afghanistan are being run out of Chicago, not Washington.”
Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann piled on for the sport of it, saying the decision to end an 8-year war and occupation was decided by “General Axelrod”, the architect of President Obama’s reelection campaign.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry also channeled Teddy Kennedy by accusing the current commander in chief of “putting U.S. troops in peril by making a political statement to his base.”"
