Democrats are at war, too. When Republicans declared war against Al-Qaeda, Democrats declared war against Republicans.
And, over the last two years, Republicans started winning their war and Democrats started winning theirs.
For the second day in a row terror state appeaser Barack Obama waged war against Bush.
Drudge and Breitbart reported:
Barack Obama has called President Bush's comments on appeasement "exactly the kind of appalling attack that's divided our country and alienates us from the rest of the world."Don't you wish just one reporter would ask how so-called "fear-mongering" has prevented us from making us safer?
Obama criticized Republican rival John McCain and President Bush for "dishonest and divisive" attacks in hinting that the Democratic presidential candidate would appease terrorists.
Obama strongly responded Friday to the comments Bush made in Israel on Thursday and McCain's subsequent words. Obama told a town hall meeting, "That's the kind of hypocrisy that we've been seeing in our foreign policy, the kind of fear-peddling, fear mongering that has prevented us from actually making us safer."
Obama said McCain had a "naive and irresponsible belief that tough talk from Washington will somehow cause Iran to give up it's nuclear program and support for terrorism."
Yesterday, Obama accused President Bush of "a false political attack" after Bush warned in Israel against appeasing terrorists—early salvos in a general election campaign that's already blazing even as the Democratic front-runner tries to sew up his party's nomination.
The White House denied Bush had targeted Obama, who said the Republican commander in chief's intent was obvious.
UPDATE: Victor Davis Hanson lays out the Ten new regulations for the 2008 election
UPDATE 2: Saddam Hussein supporter endorsed Barack Obama today.

Fascinating: The Jihadists Admit Defeat in Iraq
excerpt:
[A prolific jihadist sympathizer has posted an ‘explosive’ study on one of the main jihadist websites in which he laments the dire situation that the mujaheddin find themselves in Iraq by citing the steep drop in the number of insurgent operations conducted by the various jihadist groups, most notably Al-Qaeda’s 94 percent decline in operational ability over the last 12 months when only a year and half ago Al-Qaeda accounted for 60 percent of all jihadist activity!]

It's sad that people can't take Bush's comments at face value and evaluate them objectively, rather than collect as many victimizing inferences as possible just to play politics. I'm not Bush fanboy, but in this instance he's 100% right.

ReplyDeleteObama: I Would Still Meet With Ahmadinejad 9/24/07
the empty suit has a memory problem (even when confronted with visual and/or printed proof of his lies) but what else is new?? gah!!

I guess that's better than having Bin Laden endorse you.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about Obama. Obama obviously believes that sitting down with terrorist organizations and countries is not appeasement but open and honest dialogue amongst friends. The only way to negotiate with a terrorist intent on killing you is to kill them first, then ask questions...oops, too late.

"We are willing to talk about certain assurances in the context of them showing some good faith. I think it is important for us to send a signal that we are not hellbent on regime change, just for the sake of regime change, but expect changes in behavior. And there are both carrots and there are sticks available to them for those changes in behavior. Where those conversations go is not yet clear, but what is absolutely clear is that the path that we are on now is not going to make our troops in Iraq safer. Iran has shown no inclination to back off of their support of Shia militias as a consequence of the threats that they’ve been receiving from the Bush and Cheney administration. If anything, it probably accelerates their interest in trying to make a situation in Iraq as uncomfortable as possible for us."
Translation: Stop your proxy war in Iraq and we will toss you small tokens of appreciation.
How is that not appeasement?
I personally think the whole thing is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteBush is over in the Middle East making a speech on appeasement. Most would probably have assumed that he was talking about Europe.
HOWEVER Obama and the democrats hear the speech and are SURE he is referring to Obama. I guess the shoe fit and they are wearing it.
Only smart one among the democrats was Hillary, who was also sure they were talking about Obama.
LOL!
Score one for Hillary.
She got to portray Obama as the appeaser he was taking credit for in Bush's speech and she got to disavow Bush.
Silly boy.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what Obama wants.
Rice and Gates favor talks with Iran. Bush just gave more nukes to his dictator buddies in Saudi Arabia. Colin Powell agrees with talking to our enemies.
Are they all "delusional Nazi appeasers"?
lol.
Face it Skippy, you never saw this coming, just like you won't see the next shot coming. This threw McBush off his game big time, and you guys are just digging his grave.
You've already stepped on McBush's big 2013 foreign policy speech. I dare you to post something in defense of Bush's foreign policy every day. Compare and contrast Mr 27% to the Democratic nominee.
You just don't get it. We're not backing down on anything. Every state, every county, every district. Dems are going nuclear on Republicans this year. Brace yourself - this ain't 2004.
Obama isn't a pussy like Kerry or Gore. Chest-thumping bravado won't get you any votes this year. This year you guys have to actually win the fight. Not what you were expecting from a Democrat was it?
BRING. IT. ON.

ReplyDeletefact is: Bush never stated he would "never talk to our self declared enemies"..
fact is: what Bush has reiterated is and always has been White House Policy..
fact is: WHP is not to talk to Dictators et al "unconditionally"..
fact is: we always have been talking to our self declared enemies via diplomatic channels..
fact is: our enemies do not want to talk to US.. they want to kill US..
i wish those suffering form Bush Derangement & Stockholm Syndrome on a massive scale would learn to discern, if not comprehend the difference between distortion & reality..
