Bush speaks against appeasement, Obama responds.

"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Okay President Bush is right on here. Everyone knows, but the Democrats neglect, that conservatives believe in attempting negotiations with civilized people and groups before using military force against them. In the case of completely uncivilized maniacs like Hamas, Al-Qaida and the Nazis there is no need to negotiate. We must tell them to stop. Currently, for example, the nations represented by the UN are in total agreement that no one is to negotiate with Hamas until the terrorist group stops targeting innocent civilians and have issued resolutions to the affect. The same was true when Saddam Hussein claimed that he had weapons of mass destruction. What has the left said in these cases? In the case of Saddam Hussein, the left have cried out that it is not worth our sacrifices to liberate the people of Iraq, stop the murderous dictator that ordered the genocide of the people of Kuwait, and believed in the total destruction of Israel. What did the left ask for? More negotiations. In the former case, the sniveling, sick former president Jimmy Carter is meeting with Hamas as they launch rockets into Israel daily and called his meeting with these terrorists “fun.” This is clearly an ideology that we’re dealing with in America and Bush is right on!

Obama took the statement personally and said the following:

"It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence to launch a false political attack," Obama said in the statement his aides distributed. "George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president's extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel."

Obama is all over the map as usual. First off, what is false about President Bush’s statement? If Obama agrees with Bush, why doesn’t Obama consider Bush’s statement a criticism of Moveon.org? Secondly, Obama is lying. Everyone knows that Obama has suggested having negotiation talks with the leaders of Iran who are currently supplying arms and sponsoring attacks targeting American troops in Iraq. Also, Iraq’s President is a holocaust denying, anti-Semite who favors the destruction of Israel (I know those descriptors were redundant, I just wanted to drive the point home.). Obama has said that he wants to meet with a man who won’t even acknowledge the legitimacy of the existence of a Jewish state and Obama thinks of Israel as a “stalwart ally”? Obama loves Israel, he just went a church that published statements by Hamas in their church bulletin for the free donuts. Obama loves Israel, he just associates with anti-Semitic, anti-Americans namely his recent campaign advisor Rober Malley, campaign fundraiser, William Ayers, and campaign contributor, Tony Rezko because he enjoys talking politics while sipping lattes and getting the campaign strategy, the weather report, and paying his rent all in one shot.

Finally, the really disturbing part is that Obama believes, and Nancy Pelosi agrees, that foreign policy should be off the table for political discussion. Of course foreign policy is legitimate in political discourse. When the Democrats are pandering to the far left Code Pink types by running on a platform of surrender, cut, and run in Iraq…when Democrats want to abandon the people of Iraq in the midst of the battle for their freedom…when Democrats want to see our military defeated, of course foreign policy is legitimate political discussion!! But Obama says this is nothing more than the “politics of fear,” unlike those who say that we are to be inundated with water and all die by hurricane if we don’t regulate carbon-emissions. Yeah, carbon-emissions are legitimate. Last time I picked up a paper, I read that people are actually dying from terrorist attacks daily. I think Obama has his priorities confused.
