Let me get this straight. It's perfectly fair for Barack Obama and his cohorts to repeatedly disparage President Bush's foreign policy as "cowboy diplomacy" but unspeakably horrific for Bush to analogize the Democrats' approach to foreign policy to appeasing Hitler?
When Obama compared Hillary Clinton's threats against Iran to President Bush's threatening "bluster" and "cowboy diplomacy," no one batted an eye.
But when Mr. Bush, in addressing Israel's Knesset, compared those who want to negotiate with today's terrorists and tyrants to an American senator in 1939 who lamented that Hitler's march into Poland might have been avoided "if only I could have talked to Hitler," Obama, other Democrats and the mainstream media went ballistic.
What's wrong with the president assuring our major Middle East ally that, under his watch at least, America will stand by it against our common enemies, such as the Holocaust-denying Iranian regime?
Well, plenty, if you listen to Democrats and the MSM. If President Bush is articulating a position with which they don't agree, he is politicizing foreign policy -- an unforgivable sin. Never mind that Democrats not only have been politicizing foreign policy for the past seven years but also undermining our official policies in the process. Jimmy Carter’s intermeddling with Hamas, Nancy Pelosi's junket to Syria and trips to Iraq by other Democratic members of Congress to sabotage U.S. policy are but several egregious examples.

The reaction is the same as someone that just got caught red handed. They lashed out at the person pointing out the obvious. Obama’s own website says pretty much what Bush said. I think the democrats collectively had a nerve stepped on.
I agree. I about puked when Mort on Fox News blasted Bush for this. I am even seeing Fox play softball with Obama, and; they are looking more and more like the jornalism whimps they are, who never served a damn day for their country. I have had it with the media.
Barak obama is acting like some immature pop celebrity (or his campaign workers ....THEY get the blame if it’s ridiculous...right?) who thinks that “IT’S ALL ABOUT ME!”
The DNC and their whores in the Media -— are not only livid, they realize their task is nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
The “task”?
Somehow make their racist, liar, America hater, Flag demeaning, terrorist coddling, Muslim birthright, Communist Fellow Traveler, Soros puppet, darling of the Muslim world and Affirmative Action candidate — look like a LEADER.
You’d be upset too — if anyone called attention to your bozo of a candidate.
Will SOMEBODY ask Obama WHAT he would talk about w/terrorists?
Step on it again! and again!
I saw McCain on tube asking the questions, What would Obama talk to them about? Them sending weapons into Iraq to kill American soldiers? Their vow to obliterate Israel or drive them into the sea? What WHAT??
Its about time Bush fought back, they have been bashing him for 8 years and he has just stood back and let them. Mcpain is going to need some help exposeing Osama Obomba, the MSM sure aint going to do it.
Bush’s words would have been an attack IF THEY WEREN’T TRUE!
“Will SOMEBODY ask Obama WHAT he would talk about w/terrorists?”
The relatives? Old times? “Church”?
I'm betting they have a LOT of shared interests to discuss.
snicker :^)
Mort surprised you with his comment? It didn't surprise me at all
He's a moderate with a small viral strain of BDS.
Charles Kathhammer simply nailed the Obama diplomacy situation with a laser beam
Just what will Obama offer Iran, a bigger stick than Bush / Cheney? No. A carrot instead.
More control over the ME in places like Syria, Lebanon, toss up Israel as a carrot?
Obama is a fool.
I wonder if Camp Obama is on edge over something breaking soon about them.
And Hillary is sure being quiet, not a peep.
Who was that man, and what did he do with John McCain?
Interesting...I'd not thought about that...with all the caterwauling from "Ears" camp, and his enablers in the DriveBy Media, I don't recall hearing anything from Hillary, either...if she or her supporters said anything, could someone please ping me to it?
TX, you might get post of the day for this observation! THANK YOURSELF!!!
I pondered that with a co-worker yesterday. That preacher in Harlem who says he has proof that Obama and Wright had a sexual relationship would be quite the F-bomb.
Sorry 'bout that.
There's something behind the co-ordinated faux rattrage. Especially since W didn't even name names.
Maybe we'll get a bombshell tomorrow.
