Today in Israel, President Bush made this statement:
"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."
Democrat Senator Barack Obama responded:
"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," Obama said in a statement his aides distributed. "George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president's extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.
Let's be blunt, shall we.
Barack Obama has promised to meet with America's enemies without precondition. As an uber-left wing radical, Obama doesn't want to fight the terrorists. He disdains our policy of fighting them militarily. He wants to appease them. That is why he took umbrage at President Bush's statement today despite the fact that it didn't single out Obama or even name him. Obama, however, knows that he's a would-be appeaser. But he also knows that Americans don't want a weak leader who will appease the terrorists and their state sponsors. Thus, Obama is upset that Bush shined some light on the subject as it hinders his chance at winning the presidency, which, as a typical politician, is all he cares about anyway. Why else would he get upset unless he knew that Bush was talking about people like him: appeasers? He wouldn't. That's how we know its true.
