" Obama is basically just continuing Bush's military policies."

Which particular military policy would that be then?

As far as I can see, Obama's strikes on militants have a major difference to Bush........They're actually working.

Take our enemies out of action?

U.S. military strikes on militants didn't work under Bush? Really?!

"U.S. military strikes on militants didn't work under Bush? "

You made the claim Mr Obama was following bush's military policies, not strikes. Big difference there.

Bush also bombed a city of 5 million people as part of his military policies, which touched off a blaze that consumed hundreds of thousands of lives. So even if the odd missile strike was a success back then, claiming Bush's military policies to be a success would be laughable....if you weren't trying to believe it to be so.

Well it seemed kind of obvious he was talking about drone strikes given the article and comment.

hundreds of thousands of lives

Still not true, but now I see why you wanted to expand the topic...

Bush's military policies (notice the S) where numerous. Neither did missile strikes start with him, certainly Bubba sent off a few salvos, so no - I don't think it is fair to say it's obvious.

If I expanded the topic, it was in relation to Bush's miltary policies (see the S again?). But why am I not surprised to find you denying the bodycount from that military policy once again? You have no idea how many lives were lost because of the invasion, hundreds of thousands is a reasonable figure - the lowest count is in 6 figures. Even if it were "a mere" tens of thousands (which even bush himself acknowledged) is an outrageous attrocity.

Sorry Sr.Serrano, I had to give you a nasty thumb down for accusing Mr.Obama of just following ex Prez Bush's policies. Bush yes went after AlQaeda in the WRONG countries, like Iraq. Never found any so called weapons of mass destruction there in Iraq right? Who snuffed out Osama Bin Laden after so many years of Bush wasting our time, $$$$, lives, Mr. Obama got the job done right with killing off OBL under the protective warm eyes of the Pakistani ISI, right?? So, some how I do not agree with you that Mr.Obama is just some simpleton following some great, superior intelligence, beaming to us from ex prez Bush. So a few more thumbs up for Madverts, JapanGal etc..time for Pakistan to understand one thing that I do like about ex Prez Bush, Either you are with us or you are against us this I would agree with Sr.Serrano, is this what you meant??

"Seems like a stretch to me on all counts."

It's the only issue I've seen where an intelligent bloke like you blanks reality and stick to your guns. The number is 6 figure, and as shocking as ever. My intitial comment was to sarge, who like many of our die-hard rightwingers, hate Obama for everything. Yet when something positive is done that they cannot deny, well, just read above - it was thanks to policies implemented by Bush.....

They even tried it on after the gutsy call on bin Laden. Heh.
