Hussein And Bush In Nasty Nazi Fight
Times Online:
Barack Obama today accused President Bush of launching a “false political attack” after he appeared to compare the Democratic presidential hopeful’s foreign policy to appeasement of the Nazis.
Mr Bush triggered a row when he implied during a speech in the Israeli Parliament that Mr Obama’s willingness to talk to radical regimes was a dangerous “delusion”.
Although he did not refer to Mr Obama by name, the Illinois senator condemned the President for using Israel’s 60th birthday to attack Democratic contenders for the White House.
“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,” Mr Bush said.
“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of 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.”
Mr Obama has said that as president he would personally negotiate with Iran and offer economic incentives and a chance for peaceful relations if Iranian leaders would forgo their pursuit of nuclear weapons and their support of terrorists.
He has also said he would talk to the Castro regime in Cuba and leaders of North Korea, citing past US diplomatic successes with China and the Soviet Union. The senator insists, however, that he would strongly reject Iran’s development of nuclear weapons, its anti-Semitic rhetoric and terrorist support.
The Obama campaign seized on Mr Bush’s remarks, which came just a day after a widely criticised interview in which the President said Democratic plans to withdraw from Iraq could prompt another terror attack on the United States.
“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,” Mr Obama said in a statement.
“George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicisation of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”
The White House denied that the President’s remarks were aimed at Mr Obama, accusing him in turn of thinking “the world revolves” around him.
“It is not (about Mr Obama),” Dana Perino, the White House press secretary, told reporters in Israel.
Today the Obama campaign noted that Robert Gates, the US Defence Secretary, had told the Washington Post only yesterday that the United States needed to “sit down and talk” with Iran.
Mr Obama has been struggling to dispel perceptions that he has a “Jewish problem” in recent weeks, meeting with the community’s leaders and Israeli representatives to assure them of his commitment to the Jewish State’s security and abhorrence of Islamic extremism.
However he has not been aided by smears alleging that he is secretly a Muslim or a recent report that he is the preferred candidate of extremist Palestinian movement Hamas, repeatedly raised by Republican rival John McCain on the campaign trail.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Sheesh…. little sensitive today are we Ms. Nonuts??

Yeah, its his guilt from knowing that he will sit down and negotiate with terrorists.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:24 amWell well this is interesting.
Unfortunately MOST people are unaware of what REALLY happened in 1939. I am talking starting with Jan 1939 not just September 1.
Let us just say that Pat Buchanan has a book coming out at the end of this month which details a much different picture of that fatal year.
Incidentally I took the time to study this subject back 20 years ago. I have been way ahead of Buchanan on this subject.
Times they are a changin.
Personally I would have loved to go against Hitler in a diplomatic battle.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:28 amThe truth certainly has a way of hitting its mark, doesn’t it? I had a fifth grade teacher who always said, “The hit dog barks.” His meaning was this: When you throw a rock at a pack of dogs, the one who barks is the one you hit. Bush hurled a rock at the limp-wristed pack and Hussein barked. Who let the dogs out?
May 15th, 2008 at 9:29 amOh, and that picture of Chamberlain and Hitler is classic. They both look like they are having a great time. One’s thinking, “This guy’s nuts.” And the other, “I have to poop.”

Which one is saying which comment?
May 15th, 2008 at 9:37 amYeah.
Romney used that ‘hit dog barks’ on FOX this morning.
Funny.
I enjoyed seeing the Dhimmis hit the wall like Keystone cops over Bush’s comment.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:38 amObambi lost that air of condescendion REALLY fuckin’ quick.
They’re all such a joke.
“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,” Mr Bush said.
YES! Is George gonna keep it up?..We need more of this and more often. I wonder that ‘cuz Mac wants to appear above the fray, we can depend on hearing more stuff like this from more folks on the right - let’s hope so.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:39 amI thought it typical of BO to think it’s about him, it’s always about him. I personally think Bush was talking about all that are like him in history (including BO, but not just BO).
May 15th, 2008 at 9:45 amObama only wishes he was talking about him…. Try every Democrat Barry, don’t be so selffish
May 15th, 2008 at 9:54 amDid everyone forget Pelosi’s trip to Syria and Carter’s visit with Hamas?
May 15th, 2008 at 10:00 amUh, wait there’s more on this list

May 15th, 2008 at 10:05 amOh yeah… and then there was Obambi’s newest fuckbuddy Rahm Emanuel saying ‘Politics should stop at the waters edge’. Well then shut your trap about IRAQ you little puke.
May 15th, 2008 at 10:22 am“Yeah, its his guilt from knowing that he will sit down and negotiate with terrorists.”
Fun watching Obambi try and wriggle off THAT hook, not realizing it was down deep in his gut and ain’t comin’ loose.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:46 amServes the puke right trying to get the Oval Office via white guilt. “Post-partisan” and “post-racial” candidate my ass.
Game On, I believe we are going to hear much like this. The truth is very harmful to fools
May 15th, 2008 at 12:15 pmI think it’s absolutely fascinating that Obama recognised himself in Bush’s comment. His reaction tells us more about Obama than Bush’s statement did. And I agree with others that Bush was referring to a much broader group, past and present.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:44 pmThe guy is f’ing full of himself. I can’t stand it or him. Everything about BO is through the prism of himself. He’s a weiner…
May 15th, 2008 at 12:59 pmO’Bambam is just a rich-privledged street-punk.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:29 pmLet him spout off all he wants. Don’t worry folks, he is not going to be president.
McCain will win.

“George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicisation of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”
Bullshit. OBL (Osama Bin Lying) has said all along he wants to talk to our enemies. You don’t talk to jihadis who want to blow Israel off the map. You kill them.
Love the pic. Substitute OBL and Ahmedthedickhead and you get the same thing.
Best go study political Islam OBL. Or maybe you already have???
