Bush praised Obama after call on bin Laden

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Former US president George W. Bush praised the mission to eliminate Osama bin Laden as a "good call" but was "not overjoyed" by the news, ABC News reported Friday.

ABC said Bush told an audience this week that he received word that his successor President Barack Obama wanted to talk to him while dining at a restaurant.

"I was eating souffle at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies," Bush said according to an ABC News contributor. "I excused myself and went home to take the call," he added.

"Obama simply said 'Osama Bin Laden is dead.'"

Bush said Obama described in detail the mission to raid bin Laden's Pakistani compound on May 2 and that he told Obama, "Good call."

1. Now I KNOW I'm on the right side of this issue

because anything that Bush thinks is a 'good call' is most certainly the opposite.

4. Then how would you characterize your first reply?

To me it sounds rather simplistic and binary as well.

5. Having lived through 8 years of Bush, it seems common knowledge

No, I don't support the so-called 'war' on terror, no matter who the president is. I don't support Pax Americana, nor the idea of American Empire. These are my beliefs, again, no matter who is in office.
