Obama says Bush falsely accused him of appeasement
Associated Press ^ | May 15, 2008 | LIZ SIDOTI

Posted on 05/15/2008 2:05:16 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

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 Obama tries to sew up his party's nomination.

The White House denied Obama was Bush's target, but the Democratic presidential contender said the Republican president's intent was clear. John McCain, the likely GOP nominee, jumped in, too, using the opportunity to argue that Obama was showing "naivete and inexperience and lack of judgment" in his willingness to meet with U.S. foes.

...As the workday began stateside, Bush gave a speech to Israel's Knesset in which he spoke of the president of Iran, who has called for the destruction of the U.S. ally. Then, Bush said: "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 added.

My thoughts, exactly!

Usually this type of "over-protest" is due to a guilty conscience. Clearly, since BHO has espoused "talking" as his preferred course of action and, just as clearly, since the islamoscum have repeatedly stated their unwillingness to discuss the matter or compromise in any way, BHO is just a "black" Chamberlain.

This clueless socialist dummycrap, along with Pelosi, Reid, Biden, Clinton, et.al., is a danger to the general safety and well-being of western civilization. At least McCain understands the existence of an enemy; too bad about some of his other stands, but in the context of BHO and hitlary.....

No, he didn’t, there was nothing false about it, Jesus 2.0, you said you wanted to meet with the Iranians and “talk” and it’s on the record. Bush just called you out. Man up, iMessiah, and cop to it.

GMTA. It would have been an attack if it weren’t TRUE!

We could put Condi Rice OR Bush's face on that photoshop, and put smiling, fat Kim Jong il in the background!

Obama sucks, but believe me, Bush has been one bit appeasement sellout after another with respect to the DPRK and its nukes, since late 2005. Total, abject APPEASEMENT.

Ask Ambassador John Bolton. Ask conservative South Koreans. Ask just about anyone in Japan.

Go to the FR North Korean threads. Appeasement. No way around it.

You know you’re over the target when you are taking heavy fire/taking flak.

How long before some Dem flack accuses GWB and McC of racism?

...or of rabid zionist semitism? Of overt demonization of poor, misunderstood, oppressed peoples who want us dead? Of elitist self preservationist tendencies?
