Obama isn't that different to his predecessor, as this piece on Information Clearing House clearly shows.
"Two raids were mounted by United States military forces over the weekend. One raid led to the rendition of a terror suspect from Libya to a naval vessel and the other raid was an operation in Somalia that failed.
Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary for President George W. Bush, who considers President Barack Obama a “hypocrite” for campaigning against Bush’s terrorism policies, reacted a la the above tweet.
Fleischer was not only saying this to remind people that Obama was once opposed to these policies but to also openly celebrate the fact that Obama is employing them. Multiple times in June, as a CNN commentator, he referred to the second term of Obama’s presidency as “Bush’s fourth term” and lauded Obama for “aggressively fighting terror to keep us safe.” He highlighted how Guantanamo remained open and he had embraced drone strikes, military commissions and wiretaps.
Abu Anas al-Libi, according to a report by the Associated Press, was nabbed in a “swift Delta Force operation in the streets” of Tripoli. Al-Libi had parked his car outside of his home. Ten commandoes in vehicles surrounded him. His car window was smashed and his gun was seized. He was snatched and grabbed before forces fled the scene, taking him to what Pentagon spokesperson George Little described as a “secure location outside of Libya.” [Note: His son says Al-Libi did not have a weapon.]"
