..................

Good and Evil, God, a bit politically incorrect.

at its core it is an ancient battle between good and evil. The killers claim the mantle of Islam, but they are not religious men. No one who prays to the God of Abraham could strap a suicide vest to an innocent child, or blow up guiltless guests at a Passover Seder, or fly planes into office buildings filled with unsuspecting workers. In truth, the men who carry out these savage acts serve no higher goal than their own desire for power. They accept no God before themselves. And they reserve a special hatred for the most ardent defenders of liberty, including Americans and Israelis.

The president was right on. Here is his press sec's statement about Obama's outrageous complaint:

" I understand when you're running for office you sometimes think the world revolves around you. That is not always true. And it is not true in this case."

Absolutely right on!

It sure is funny hearing the Democrats claiming that “politics stops at the water’s edge” even though they have no problems in engaging in their own shadow foreign policy in opposition to Bush.

Two Questions for Obama about his “outrage” at the speech:

Which part refers to you?

Which part do you disagree with?

Sounds like about the best speech W has made since his “axis of evil” speech to Congress shortly after 9/11.

Did Obama have a specific response to this speech?

It was an excellent speech. To my knowledge Obama hasn’t had anything to stay, he’s still upset the President spoke out on appeasement.

If Obama can’t handle a speech that was not talking about him, then he can’t handle being a Commander in Chief...

BTW you'll note the couple lines that upset Obama

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.

are well down into the speech, and certainly not it's prime message. But preceded by lengthy praise for Israel and the US/Israel relationship. Obama may have been upset by the time he got to the offending line.

And a non-political speech, in a foreign country, addressing non-voters. Wonder what Obama was thinking?

Bibi isn’t perfect, but I’d rather have him as P.M. of Israel than Tweedledee Olmerde. Of course, if I had my druthers, I want King David send down from Heaven and be Israel’s leader right now. (hey, I can dream, can’t i?!)

Thanks for posting this. Great reading. Classic Bush. I'm very proud that he chose to go to Israel for the anniversary of her declaration of independence.

How telling, not to mention utterly damning, is it that the Obama and his own supporters see Bush's remarks about the delusion of appeasers as being about him?
