You Talkin' 'Bout Me?
President Bush gave a speech at the Israeli Parliament. Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the 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.And right away Obama jumps up and said Bush accused him of appeasement. WASHINGTON - Barack Obama accused President Bush of "a false political attack" Thursday 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.And you know, Bush never mentioned Obama. Now why would he chime in unless he felt guilty about his appeasement policies? You know the guy who wants to bomb our weak friend Pakistan and talk to our enemies in Iran. I think he done slipped in some Shinola. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 05.17.08 at 06:18 PM |

It's amazing how the Obama supporters are trying to spin this as a 'gotcha' moment. Seems to me it's much more telling of Obama's temperment than anything else - and once again it's not something that lends itself to the interpretation the Obama crowd are trying to sell.
I'm really getting worried, however, over how delusional the Obama crowd may be. I've seen folks who were damnably critical of Obama before he became the front-runner turn into slavering syncophants who'd do ANYTHING for him at this point.
It ain't politics - it's religion. And I'm getting a bit worried about a theocratic takeover in Nov...
