"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.''"
-----------------
That Senator was right, maybe it could have. It could not have hurt or delayed a military response, as we didn''t go when Hitler went into Poland. Bush offers no evidence the other way, only jingoism.

In bush''s speech he refers to a Senator who claimed he would have liked to talk to Hitler. That Senator was a Republican, so I guess he was an appeaser.

Bush shouldnt have made any comparison to Nazi appeasers considering his grandgfather funded the nazi war movement. And the assertion that the only way to solve a problem is the way weve been doing it for the last 8 years is rediculous. How has it worked thus far? it hasnt this is why bush is graveling to the saudis for oil, the same group of people involved in the 9/11 attacks.

McCain has more foreign policy wisdom in his a*ss than Obama Mandingo will have even 20 years from now. What joke to even compare these two. It''s like comparing the CEO of GE with the guy who changes the water coolers in the cafeteria.

Another McCain Flip-Flop ---

"When he was in Davos (Switzerland) amongst the European crowd and I interviewed him there two years ago, he was talking as if it was appropriate and natural and reasonable to negotiate with Hamas, the new government of the Palestinian territories," Rubin said.

"And then two years later, he''s taking a very, very different position ... smearing people for suggesting that one ought to talk to Hamas when it was he himself who was prepared to talk to Hamas two years ago."

McCain, the presumptive 2008 Republican presidential nominee, said the United States would not be able to avoid a dialogue with the Islamic militant group.

"They''re the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another," he said at the time. "And I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they not only espouse but practice ...

"But it''s a new reality in the Middle East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that."

"Peace through strength is the way we achieve peace in the world" Mccain''s words. You can be strong and decisive with diplomacy to achieve peace. blowing up countries is not strength,killing how many innocent people is not strength, 935 lies to start a war is not strength, killing over 4000 of our courageous Military members is not strength, it is cowardice at it''s finest. The war for Oil is a war for the beast, the war on terror is a war on Peace!

Hey mike71067: The idiot is the cowboy who rides a bike around his "ranch" (a place with no crops or livestock), who holds an axe cross-handed when he tries to clear brush for a photo-op, who has had everything, including an Ivy League education, handed to him on a plate, and who has never done a real day''s work in his entire life!

CBS reports McCain pretty much said the same thing. More Bushit from the right it seems just to cause a stir of fear.

He just proved Bush''s point. The guy is a panderer and an appeaser. One of his staff members was communicating with Hamas. Who''s he kidding. Seems to me that the only people that are disturbed by Bush''s foreign policies are Pewlosi, Levin, Biden, Kerry and Hamas, Herzbollah, and Ahmie. This guy is Neville Chamberlain reincarnate with an attitude. Smug little *****, too. Go take a leak, you are pissing the fierce urgency of studpidity.

Bush is right about this. Obama is an idiot, and anybody would be better than Obama in the White House.
