Who started it?

Bill Bennett asks why would the Democrats attack Bush on his strength,[update 10-31-11 *] his war on terrorism?

Release of the NIE was bad for everybody, he claims. That is the point. Intelligence is on the Democrats side, and they want it locked up.

Matt Lauer did a surprisingly good job countering most points that Bennett made including pointing out that Bush has been on the offensive, and Bennett served his cake and ate it too, by excusing that as becuase it is Bush's strength.

Well, if it is their strength, just who is Bennett waving the white flag to (maybe a semafore, when he persists that "he brought it up" meaning Clinton started it? Is he talking to those he claims didn't blaim Clinton, didn't blame Bush or did blame the CIA? And who is he sending the message to, when he brings the war on terrorism back to Iraq, but he hopes that "chasing after Clinton on the world stage... is over"?

We must keep the truth out there, on the media stage. They will continue to misread it. Who will keep it up?

Who will be fearless? [Segue in closing] Special thanks to Stephanie Miller for waking me up (and my snooze alarm) and for having Arianna Huffington on, not that the latter is what got me started, but we are finally on the same page and in a growing choir.

In contrast or no thanks to Tucker Carlson or Matt Drudge.
