Last night, I watched President Bush's speech before the Knesset in Israel to mark the occasion of that country's 60th birthday. I was glad that the president went to Israel to declare US support. I think Bush gave an excellent speech, which was well received by the Knesset. Unfortunately, not everyone back home approved of the president's words.
In his speech, Bush referred to "those" who believe they can negotiate with outlaw regimes and terrorists who want to kill them. History, said Bush, has shown that it doesn't work. He was absolutely correct.
Yet, the Democrats have gone ballistic. Nancy Pelosi, in an otherwise dreary press conference describing whatever trivial pursuits she and her Democratic colleagues have been up to, reacted angrily to a question from a reporter about the president's comment. You would have thought the president had called for the arrest of Congress.
Not to be outdone, Barack Obama and his campaign jumped up and down in protest at the "insult" directed at the Illinois senator. After John McCain jumped in declaring that Obama didn't have the strenth, judgement or determination to deal with dictators, Obama told everyone who would listen that he was ready to debate McCain and Bush on national security anytime, anywhere because they had a lot to answer for. That sounded like Neville Chamberlain telling Winston Churchill that he had a lot to answer for.
Hillary Clinton, outvoted but not to be outdone, has also protested.
But who exactly was President Bush referring to? Neville Chamberlain? Jimmy Carter? Barack Obama? Hillary Clinton? He didn't mention any names, and the White House has issued a statement claiming that the president was not referring to any particular person. Why are the Democrats so quick to jump up and identify themselves as weaklings and appeasers? Why does Obama assume that Bush was referring to him?
You know, no matter how much and for how long the Democrats have been calling Bush an idiot, he outfoxes them everytime.

Gary, I know that you support Israel, I don't know why, and because of it everything the Bush government does, but there are other sides to it, and why not try diplomacy? Everything else hasn't worked either. I am sorry, but Bush is an idiot, he and his cronies are arrogant to no end, and the rest of the world does not respect them because of it. How can you stand to watch this man talk without cringing every time? We need a change, desperately and McCain will just give us more of the same.
Ingrid,
I don't support everything Bush does nor do I support everything Israel does. I do, however, think Israel has a right to exist and defend itself. I am skeptical they will ever find a solution to live in peace with the Palestinians simply because the Palestinians really want it all. The eventual goal is to drive the Israelis out.
If you have seen my articles on UCI-it is not so much about defending Israel, it is more about fighting anti-Semitism and hatred towatd Jews.
Based on past history, (Neville Chamberlain), I think it is useless to negotiate with evil fanatics-Al-Quaida, Ahmadinejad, etc. It only gives them prestige and creedance and will not change their goals. Whatever we thought about the USSR, they were rational-so we could negotiate. Today's, Muslim fanatics are not rational.
But we do agree on one thing, Ingrid-german beer!

The terrorist monkey can not be negotiated with. The only reason to maybe talk to Ahmadamadmonkey in say maybe Switzerland is to provoke him by debating his ideology and criticizing his hatred. Force him to say lots of stupid and insane things which would be widely publicized thus educating more people to his ideology's insanity. This, I am quite sure, Obama would never do.
Ouch, Obama and the poor little Dems were hit a little too close to home by what GW said. It's one of the best things Bush has ever said. Bravo! And he didn't even have to mention the Dhimmicrats or any body's name.
So sure, then he folded in Saudi Arabia, but what he said in Israel almost makes that OK.
