now it is not acceptable to criticize our president during a international crises.
had the liberals listened to his advice back when Bush was president.. Iraq and Afghanistan things may have been different over there today..
but back then he wasn't giving out that advice..
Harsh criticism of the president, whether it comes from Republicans or Democrats, only serves to comfort enemies of the United States, talk show host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday.
"I'm old-fashioned enough to believe that harshly criticizing the commander in chief during dangerous international crises, whether it's with the likes of [former Iraq President] Saddam Hussein or [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, that provides comfort to nation states who choose to be our enemies," Scarborough, a former Republican Florida Congressman, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"Trying to speak with one voice, one American voice, has become a quaint thing of the past. I regret that enormously," Gates told The Washington Post on Tuesday.
Scarborough argued that there was "nothing more frightening to our enemies, to America's enemies, than a strong unified American voice." He said it was incumbent upon the president's "political rivals" to "encourage him privately."
Lawmakers should speak carefully in public, Scarborough cautioned, because their comments echo around the world.
