President George W. Bush described Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday as "a man of peace" who can help advance Mideast talks that stalled after Hamas swept into power during the last elections.
Abbas assured Bush that Palestinians want peace, despite the election of Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction and has rebuffed international demands to recognize Israel and renounce violence.
"The Palestinian people desire peace, and there is no power on Earth that can prevent the Palestinian people from moving toward the peaceful solution and living and coexisting in peace," he said.

I don't know. Could it be that if you gotta pick sides, go with the lesser of two (or more) evils?

Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice dog!" while reaching for a stick.

Do you always take everything at face value? In diplomacy, things are rarely what they seem to be on the surface.

Yeah, just like he saw into Putin's soul If Abbas is prepared to recognize Israel..which was reported just the other day...then he may well be that rarest of individuals,a muslim in power who has both a conscience and courage.

President George W. Bush described Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday as "a man of peace"... Well, considering the other finalists were Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, Mullah Omar, and Osama bin Laden, Abbas had this contest all to himself. ;)

Im stating to believe the "he's clueless" camp. I dont want a pollyanna Presidency. Last night he backed away from demanding no nuclear program for Iran, now we are offering all kinds of assistance to a regime that will someday kill innocents. That State Departments needs to be shut down as well.

Then sadly the President has lost his mind or is lying. You can't have it both ways on terror.

I hope you're right, but I trust no one who has a nom de guerre containing "Abu"

Islam is a religion of peace, Abbas is a man of peace, Saudi Arabia is a partner in peace....
Any more 'peace' and we'll all be on our knees five times a day.
Doesn't look like cowboy boot fashion criminal Allen is any better at verbalizing. Republicans, no reason to vote for them. Democrats, many reasons to vote against.
