‘False Comfort of Appeasement’: Bush Blasts Negotiation With Israel’s Enemies

"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."

obama the moe on the down low is pissed cause Bushed called him out and on this one Bush is right on!

Bush, the foreign policy wizard, is the person Obama should be taking advice from? I think not.

If anything this statement is an Obama endorsement to the 67% of Americans who’ve pulled their heads out of their asses and seen the light (and I count myself among them.)

Uhhh you don’t speak for me Mr. Bush. I don’t support our young men and women dying for Israel. I don’t support the billions of tax payers’ dollars we have given (and continue to give) to them.
America is Israel’s attack dog and I am sick of it.

Oh and for you typical knee jerk reactionaries it’s not anti-Semitism to not support Israel. And for you neocon types I am not on the Muslim/Arab side either.
I am for America FIRST. We have too much in our own backyard to take care of. Being at Israel’s beckon call does not make us safer so watch your leaps in logic.

It’s Grandpa Prescott Bush who collaborated with those financially backing Hitler. Prescott subsequently had his business holdings confiscated by the U.S. Government for collaborating with the enemy.
Psychologists call this projection.

Sylvia Jolly: This is the United States of America where we’re free to criticize the government without being charged with treason.

Maybe you’re thinking of China, Russia, or Iran. You should move to one of those countries and see if you like it better.

Stop deifying the president.

Uhhhh, Joe, do me a favor. Pack your bags, denounce your American citizenship, cancel your passport, and pick a country, any country other than America, and I’ll buy you a one way ticket there so we never have to see or hear your sorry a$$ again. You loser.

How can the president say that he is Isreal’s best friend when his policies in the mid east have created the worst ever tensions between the people who live in that region? It’s obvious that in todays world, the Saudi Arabian Princes have more money than any one,the Jews have more control over the markets,and the Americans are using Jesus to make money. Nobody cares about the poor, homeless, sick, or hungry at all, unless they can make money doing it. God, I miss Mother Theresa!

It’s Jimmy Carter he’s attacking, not Obama. Carter is the one who negotiated with terrorists.

Has Oberman, ever listened to Nancy Pelosi??
It is incredible that a journalist no one ever listens to can berate our President. This is treason.

Bush is in Israel. I wonder if he is going to stop in Saudi Arabia next and see if they need more weapons. Then he is going to come back here and tell us we need to go after terrorists…

I am sure in the last 7 1/2 years Bush has accomplished something, but I just can’t think of anything…

Jimmy Carter has a Nobel prize for Peace…

Its all the mealy mouthed stinkin’ sorry democrats that Bush is talking about. Weak kneed liberals, limp wristed netroots, eurotrash George Soros, BS activists, PETA schills, Pinko’s, all idiots on the left.

Maybe all Ahmedinejad is referring to when he says Israel will be wiped off the map is because of global warming. You see, if we don’t work to save the planet by trading carbon credits and paying $10 a gallon for gas the cute fuzzy wuzzy widdle polar bears will drown and Israel will be underwater. Iran is just trying to warn us, they are our friends, so sayeth the left!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !

God bless Israel and curse her enemies!
