Reply #3: Because they weren't exactly lying

Because they weren't exactly lying, but they weren't exactly telling the truth either. Somewhere in between.

There is a major split between foreign policy experts in the democratic party. One faction, backing Clinton, favors strong policy on Iran and is very much against Iran going nuclear. The other faction, backing Obama, is in favor of negotiating with Iran, "appeasing" Iran and is less worried about Iran developing nuclear weapons.

Bush's message was intended for those foreign policy experts in the democratic party who were advocating "appeasement" as he called it. He was not singling out Barack Obama, but instead, the foreign policy experts who back Obama (namely Zbigniew Brezezinski, Obama's top foreign policy advisor.)
