Bush says that “we are fighting the Jihadists over there so we don’t have to fight them over here” or words to that effect. I wonder why we even bother since Bush and Cheney have the red carpet out for CAIR and the Saudis. Over the past few years, the Saudis have poured enormous amounts of money to prop up CAIR, who are established terrorist apologists.
Did you know that membership in CAIR has plunged among American Muslims? Yet, Bush still treats them as their primary representative.
Unfortunately, Bush is letting his friendship with the Saudi royal family cloud his judgement. Apparently they are all charming coves, however they share almost none of the values that are important to a pluralistic, democratic society. Considering Bush’s abysmal judgment in all aspects of the Iraq War – except possibly the most recent phase – should we be should be trusting his judgment concerning CAIR and the Saudis?
Look, however you feel about Newt Gingrich, the man is no idiot. Anything he says about policy and politics should be considered carefully.
