The good often suffer along with the bad, when the bad are in the majority.

“In the meetings in Baghdad today, I made clear that the war must be brought to an end”

She is talking to the wrong people. She needs to meet with the terrorists and get things straightened out.

[DGHoodini]

I agree. The ignorant, un-educated, pompous hag is always overstepping her authority, and asininely assuming usurpatory powers that belong to the executive branch. This woman is not so much dangerous because she’s so clever, she’s dangerous because she’s a stupid tyrant bitch wanna-be, in an office she is utterly incapable and unqualified to hold.

Bush Criticism of Appeasement Angers Dems

May 17, 2008

President Bush’s speech to the Israeli parliament sparked a series of denunciations from high ranking Democrats across the country. The President’s characterization of negotiation with terrorist regimes—like the one in Iran that has called for the destruction of Israel—as “a foolish delusion” and akin to Neville Chamberlain’s negotiations with Hitler appears to have touched a nerve in Democratic circles.

Although Bush did not specifically name anyone in his speech, Democratic presidential front runner, Senator Barack Obama (Ill.) called Bush’s comments an “appalling attack on my ‘peace through concessions’ strategy for making America safe. Look, we can’t afford to get involved in a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing.” Obama pointed to the ten-year grace period for Jews to leave Palestine that former president Jimmy Carter negotiated with Hamas as an example of the type of agreement he would seek with “so-called terrorist regimes.”

Obama’s rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) asserted that “while I do not agree with Senator Obama’s appeasement approach, I think it is improper for a ‘lame-duck’ president to commit the nation to policies that could bind a subsequent administration.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) fumed that “Bush is undermining my hard work. I went to these people on ‘bended knee.’ I wore the Hijab to symbolize willingness to submit. We were gaining traction toward peace for our time. This partisan attack on Democratic policies is beneath the dignity of the office of the president.”

McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds called Obama’s reaction “hysterical.” “The guy has really ‘stepped in it’ this time,” Bounds chortled. “Here we have the President making a perfectly reasonable remark to the Jewish people who were nearly exterminated by a war brought on by a policy of appeasement and Obama goes ballistic. Such passion in defense of appeasement is a stunning revelation of what an Obama Administration portends for this country.”

Outrage at the President’s speech wasn’t confined to his domestic political opponents. Muhammad Barakei, a Muslim member of the Israeli parliament called the remarks “tantamount to a declaration of war. Hitler was one of the great visionaries of the 20th century. Bush’s insult of him can only fan the flames of hostility toward America for its efforts on behalf of the Zionist conspiracy to conquer the world.”

From the Time piece:

The lack of popularity of Pelosi's views was evident in the fact that her first day on the ground Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki did not make an effort to see her.

Talk about an ego buster!

“In the meetings in Baghdad today, I made clear that the war must be brought to an end. It has already taken far too many American and Iraqi lives, it has cost far too much in money and the reputation of the United States, and it has drained far too much from the capability of our military.

Yeah, I'm sure that went over well. Yes, Nancy, everyone wants the war to come to an end. We just disagree on how it should end.

We Americans and the Iraqis want it to end by victory over the terrorists, which is underway now.

You, al Qaeda, Iran and Syria want the U.S. to surrender.

In the civil war, She would have been shot.

But within hours of Rice's arrival, TV news was crackling with word of it, and soon thereafter a volley of mortars fell on the Green Zone in an obvious message from Rice's detractors. No rockets or mortars were heard heading into the Green Zone today.....of course, why would they want to harm their powerful (pro-Terrorist/anti-American) allies in the US Congress?

In the meetings in Baghdad today, I made clear that the war must be brought to an end. It has already taken far too many American and Iraqi lives, it has cost far too much in money and the reputation of the United States, and it has drained far too much from the capability of our military.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And why in tarnation didn't someone tie Pelosi to a camel with a 5 gallon water blister and a suck tube, pointed the camel North-east to Iran, and slapped its A$$ with a 2 lb piece of Allegra's shoe leather steak?

I would PAY to Pelosi screaming as she humped out of sight towards Iranian territory, there to be taken as a tribal wife by right of spoil(age).Finders keepers fatwa. I would PAY to see that.LOL
