We’ve detailed how CNSNews.com’s Edwin Mora has sought to erase any mention of U.S. troop casualties under President Bush in Iraq when he’s pushing troop casualties in Afghanistan under President Obama. Well, Mora has found another way to protect Bush.
IN a July 19 CNS article, Mora highlights how Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano testified before the House Judiciary Committee that the Obama administration “finally ‘took steps’ in 2010 to vet foreign students applying to U.S. flight schools.”
Mora doesn’t ask why it took the Obama administration to enforce that vetting. Indeed, the word “Bush” appears nowhere in his article, despite his noting that “the rule set by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to have DHS screen foreign nationals who want flight training was authorized in 2004” and that “a portion of the 25,599 who had applied for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot licenses from January 2006 through September 2011 had not been vetted properly before taking flight training or receiving an FAA certificate.”
It seems that, in Mora’s mind, this apparent breach of national security is only the fault of the Obama administration, despite the fact that the Bush administration apparently spent a significant portion of its tenure not enforcing the rules it implemented.
