But one part seems to have bothered people, most particularly Senator Obama. This part.

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.

Bush called it as it is, I see no problem with that. If we can’t see appeasement for what it is and where it leads, we are doomed. And seeing as Jimmy Carter was recently over in the Middle East all kissyface with Hamas, I think Bush speaking out against exactly that over in said Middle East was entirely appropriate. Have to undo the damage Carter did. Of course, Obama thinks Bush was referring to him. If the policy fits…

I thought John McCain had a good comeback to Obama’s perceived shortcomings.

“It shows naivete and inexperience and lack of judgment to say that he wants to sit down across the table from an individual who leads a country that says that Israel is a ’stinking corpse,’ that is dedicated to the extinction of the state of Israel. My question is, what does he want to talk about?” McCain said.

Maybe he wants to talk about stopping uranium enrichment but that’s been done before. Didn’t work. Sanctions didn’t work either. Ah, but talk does serve the purpose of giving Iran time… time to build a bomb or three. Enough to attack Israel and us. Hamas is no different, they only want peace to give them time to rearm for the next battle all the while lobbing rockets at Israel. Hamas is committed to Israel’s destruction too. Talk won’t change anything.
