George W. Bush praises President Obama's Afghanistan surge

“I strongly believe the mission is worth the cost,” Bush wrote in “Decision Points,” which comes out Tuesday. “Fortunately, I am not the only one.”

He expresses gratitude that Obama “stood up to critics by deploying more troops, announcing a new commitment to counterinsurgency in Afghanistan, and increasing the pressure on Pakistan to fight the extremists in the tribal areas.”

In the 497-page autobiography, Obama comes up in 10 places. Each is either a favorable, sympathetic or tangential reference. There is not a single unkind word about Obama in the book.

Bush’s post-presidential, statesman-like desire to stay above the fray—demonstrated over the last two years and seen again in the book—reflects an apparently genuine desire for the Democratic president to succeed.

nice to have the approval of a sociopath

:hi:

and I'm sure some asshats will rush in to comment on how alike Bush & Obama are,
while sucking on that politico crap like it was a biggo ass sugary slurpee....
cause there ain't nothing better than a full out propaganda story for the GOP Library,
to stir a bit of the old "I hate that __________" to get a nice line up of all of the beautiful ones!

psych-ops are in...! Swell!

not a good endorsement.
