Who died and who lied? Presidental politics gets "gamey."

"Bush lied, people died."
People died. Obama lied.

The first statement is a liberal cri de coeur against the 43rd President of the United States for a hide-and-seek war on weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq and the fall of a maniacal dictator, Saddam Hussein.

The second is a personal summation against the 44th President of the United States for a shell game that hides a real foreign policy of surrender in a cloak of deceit and denial that incites Islamic Jihadists to attack our nation on Patriots Day.

Monday's Presidentail debate on foreign policy will force American voters to find the bedrock truth in both sentences, but they will have to be sharp and watch the eyes, not the pointing fingers.

Political gamesmanship is not for armadillos, it is for fireflies. Just ask George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama.

President Obama's exotic and magical support of the "Arab Spring" and a foreign policy of "normalization" with fanatic, Islamic rebels resembles the illusory pre-WWII  "peace in our times" belief of Britain's Neville Chamberlain.

Add President Obama's unconstitutional and unilateral military action in Libya and the arming of the Muslim Brotherhood with an international version of the deadly Fast and Furious debacle for a catastrophic loss Americans on the anniversary of 9-11.

The real score is Islamic Jihadists 4 and Silly You Tube Video 0. But look for President Obama to flit and glimmer on the facts--including the denial of CIA warnings and real-time video that illuminates the truth on the deadly game of foreign policy steeped in ideology. A firefly can drift and still look cool.

"Bush lied, people died," branded the foreign policy of President George W. Bush in the Middle East with a gunslinger tinge amid charges of rogue and hasty unilateral actions in Iraq. America's military action was delibrate, supported by international intelligence findings--abeit faulty--and by a United Nations dictate. An armadillo is bound to terra firma and never looks cool.

Foreign policy is a serious game. People who play it can die. Sometimes, they see it coming. Sometimes, they pay for others mistakes. Ambassador Christopher Stevens did both.
