Bush and Obama: Side by Side at Ground Zero

The presidents stood next to each other, with their wives, listening as
the families of the victims read the names of lost loved ones. Above them,
a vast American flag billowed from One World Trade Center, the tower that
is rising where two fell a decade ago.
.
It was the first time President Obama and former President George W. Bush
had stood together on this hallowed ground. Mr. Bush declined Mr. Obamas
invitation to join him at ground zero last May, days after the raid that
killed Osama bin Laden.
.
But on this bright morning, they stood shoulder to shoulder behind a
bulletproof screen two commanders in chief whose terms in office are
bookends for considering how the United States has changed since Sept. 11,
2001, particularly in its response to terrorism.
.
Mr. Obama read from Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength. Mr. Bush
read a letter from Abraham Lincoln to Lydia Bixby, a widow in
Massachusetts who was believed to have lost five sons in the Civil War.
Unlike Mr. Obama, Mr. Bush drew a brief cheer from the crowd before his
reading.
.
The tableau was striking: the president who spent years hunting Bin Laden
next to the one who finally got him. The president defined by his response
to Sept. 11 standing alongside the one who has tried to take America
beyond the lingering, complicated legacy of that day.
For Mr. Obama, Sept. 11 underpins what has become one of the great
paradoxes of his presidency. A Democratic leader who opposed the Iraq war
and is pulling troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan has, at the same time,
notched up a record as a lethal, relentless hunter of terrorists.
.
Mr. Obama, a president who banned torture in the interrogation of
suspected terrorists and pledged (unsuccessfully, so far) to close the
military prison in Guantamo Bay, Cuba, carried out more drone strikes in
Pakistan in his first year in office than Mr. Bush did in his eight years.
In the process, the White House said, it has killed more Al Qaeda
officials in the last two-and-a-half years than were eliminated by the
Bush administration in all the preceding years. Among the big names: two
top Qaeda managers, Sheik Saeed al-Masri and Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, and one
of its most feared field commanders, Ilyas Kashmiri.
.
We have taken the fight to Al Qaeda like never before, Mr. Obama said in
his weekly address.
