Speaking before the Knesset, Bush said that “some people” believe the United States “should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."

"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said. "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."

As the Democratic Party approaches its final primaries and some of the supporters of the losing candidate are contemplating their desires for the General Election you have reminded every American exactly why we absolutely must unite to take the White House.

Your administration has destroyed the 50 year of a generally bipartisan approach to diplomacy by trying to interject your cowboy mentality at the wrong time in the wrong place with the wrong facts for the wrong reasons.

You have made the Middle East a tinder box.

You have endangered Israel.

And the strangest part of this whole sorry episode is that you had one small success. By talking to Ghaddafi you persuaded him to give up his very serious program for weapons of mass destruction.

You actually sent people to talk to him and they convinced him and the world is safer because of it. But because you do not want to promote the American style of diplomacy that has brought greater peace and prosperity to more people than anytime in world history you never speak of this accomplishment and rather focus on the your sociopathic-Texan-unilateral-saber-rattling-macho-unnecessary war mentality.

The entire country is sick of it and sick of you. And while the Democrats were trying to figure out how to kiss and make up you gave us the motivation we need.

Obama
Clinton
Kerry
Biden
et al

Speaking forcefully, intelligently all with the same voice.


Take your finger off the button. There are 249 days 9 hours and 53 minutes left.


Once again thank you unifying the party and reminding us what is at stake on Nov 4th.

1. I'm sure there is a label for people who make inappropriate

comments in public. He has gotten away with it for too, too long. I hope Biden leads the charge in censuring this bastard.

[Binka]

13. It Is Called A "FUCKWITTAGE"

Bush is the NASTIEST one on the planet!

[livetohike]

20. ROFL

:rofl: have to look that one up in the Psych 101 book :toast:

[grantcart]

16. I imagine even his father is embarassed at this one

[livetohike]

23. I hope he is......and I hope Biden, et al don't let this go

It's enough already.

[caledesi]

2. "Some people"..... so old and wornout. NT

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. But gee whizz...

he gave up golfing 'cause he loves the soldiers so fucking much.

Don't be so mean to fucky-McDumbshit.

:eyes:

[NewHampshireDem]

4. Two things I've discovered

1. Sen. William Borah was a Republican

2. Rumsfeld used the same line 2 years ago

This has been the latest installment of 'Making Lemons Out of Lemonade; or, How to Be Smarter than a Republican'

[Arugula Latte]

5. Is Bush channeling Katie Couric? ... "some people say"

:eyes:

[Faygo Kid]

9. Same thing I thought when I saw this.

Whatever was left of her credibility - and there wasn't much - ended with the John and Elizabeth Edwards interview.

[grantcart]

10. some people

think the lunar landing was stage and that the earth is flat

there is a word for these people

[Faygo Kid]

15. Dittoheads?

[grantcart]

35. It is the weakest tool of a lazy journalist who simply wants to parrot the opposition line

[TheDonkey]

6. Most hated president in modern history (71% disapprove) tops Nixon. Let him hit the campaign trail

w/ McCain!

[SoFlaJet]

7. I just made a similar post Grant

it feels good to hear us all speak with on voice a DEMOCRATIC voice

[grantcart]

12. I can't find it please add the link

[SoFlaJet]

26. It's really not worth it

you said it much better than I did-what I was saying is Bush has helped bring this party together with his idiotic comments today

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. Guess what, Bush has made it 1000 times more dangerous for Israel

there weren't as many terorists in Iraq before he invaded it. Stirring up hornets' nests in the middle east isn't going to help Israel.

[lutefisk]

14. Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, Cheney... They made policy and talked the fool in to it. Screw them.n/t

[grantcart]

Here's the funny thing Rove would have had enough sense to can this speech

and go with something more mainstream - that is how stupid this ham handed partisan speech was - too over the top for Rove. lol

[IDemo]

11. I think Keith is going to need nitrous oxide for tonight's show

or whiskey.

[Binka]

17. Both In Copious Doses!

[K Gardner]

22. LOL ! I didn't think Keith could get angrier than he was last night, but we'll see !

[crimsonblue]

29. how bout another Special Comment?

That'd be something.

[whistler162]

18. I was thinking about...

a nation that ended up negotiating with radicals and terrorists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_%281783%29

[grantcart]

38. good point

[charlie]

19. I hope the stink of Bush

taints the Likudniks over there, so Israelis experience the same revulsion we're at long last feeling.

64% of them favor direct talks with Hamas.

http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/958473.html

[grantcart]

21. good point

And the Israelies just love getting pulled into the middle of a GE fight

what afool

[grantcart]

24. FOX COMMENTATORS AGREE OBAMA ISN'T ABOUT APPEASEMENT

AND THAT BUSH MADE AN IDIOT OUT OF HIMSELF

[SoonerPride]

33. And it is hilarious that McSame agreed with Bush.

The more he speaks and agrees with the shrubbery it will be easier to pint him as shrubs third term.

This plays right into Obama's hands.

[ginnyinWI]

25. The GOP probably wishes he'd shut his face.

I know I do--I get by best when I can pretend he doesn't exist.

It's all good for the Democrats this fall, that's for sure.

[applegrove]

27. Bush certainly made it clear what the GOP will do in an election. Americans are

aware rather than the first few times they played this game. Plus it reminds us to not squabble between ourselves. There really are huge stakes in this coming GE.

[myrna minx]

28. K&R. Bush & McCain are who we should be fighting against, not each other. n/t

[billyoc]

30. Isn't he great, folks? Let's give him a big hand,

he won't be back. :rofl:

[TBF]

31. Rec for an outstanding thread title - and he earns it everyday. nt

[grantcart]

34. Of course the irony is that he actually succeeded with negotiations in Libya

[TBF]

44. I know, of all the people to sit down with he picks Kadafi... and actually accomplishes it.

Maybe that's before the boys at Exxon had a little talk with him.

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## DON'T DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our second quarter 2008 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Whatever you do, do not click the link below!

[Major Hogwash]

36. Bush's quote was from Republican Senator Borah - from Idaho.

Who was famous for his oratorical skills, his isolation point of view towards foreign trade, and appeasemnt to Hitler.

Not exactly a person like Bush should be quoting after he invaded Iraq after lying about WMD's.

[grantcart]

37. ah a golden oldie - can a McCarthy impression be far behind

[Major Hogwash]

41. "Every time I think I've broken away,

they keep sucking me back in. I'm telling ya, Jerry, I can't take it anymore. I can't take it!"

Just like George Costanza, just when I think Lanny Davis or Terry MacAwful is going to stop memntioning Idaho, Bush goes and quotes a dead Senator from Idaho from his own freakin' party!!

The irony of that kind of shit is what makes it so ironic.

[grantcart]

43. And again the Bush Administration successfully used diplomacy to end WMD in Libya

they don't even realize it when it works

[Condem]

39. grantcart

The biggest surprise to me was the media caught it. I didn't think ANYONE was covering Bush anymore.

[phrigndumass]

40. It's a damn good reminder, isn't it?

Yet he mostly gets a free pass while our party is being held hostage.

[stevietheman]

42. Reagan talked to the Soviets too. Nothing new with "talking with enemies". n/t

n/t

[grantcart]

45. Now that Obama has answered will George bless us with a response?
