Bush Attempts to Frighten Israelis as He Does with Americans

Bush Suggests Obama is an Appeaser

Ed Henry, CNN
JERUSALEM (CNN) – President Bush launched a sharp but veiled attack Thursday on
Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats, suggesting they favor
"appeasement" of terrorists in the same way some Western leaders
appeased Hitler in the run-up to World War II.
The president did not name Obama or any other Democrat, but White House
aides privately acknowledged the remarks were aimed at the presidential
candidate and others in his party. Former President Jimmy Carter has called for
talks with Hamas.
"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals,
as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all
along," Bush said at Israel's
60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem.
"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said in remarks
to Israel's
parliament, the Knesset. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939,
an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all
of 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."
The remarks seemed to be a not-so-subtle attempt to continue to raise doubts
about Obama with Jewish Americans. Those doubts were earlier stoked by Sen.
John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee in the 2008 presidential
election, when he recently charged that Obama is the favored candidate of the
Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas, which the U.S. government has listed as a
terrorist group.
Obama last week called the Hamas allegation a "smear" and lashed
out Thursday at Bush's speech in Israel.

Note: Anyone interested in Barack’s eloquent refutation of
Mr Bush’s remarks has several links to them.

Mr Bush chose our 60^th birthday to launch his
tired propaganda. Since his political party may cease to exist shortly, he
desires justification and institutionalization of preemptive war as a
replacement for diplomacy.

Others have tried this approach – including the Emperor of Japan,
Mussolini and Hitler – only to fail miserably.

Targeting these villains by attacking anyone who would argue
with them is the coward’s way out. Mr Bush is afraid to confront his supposed
adversaries man to man so to speak. He hides behind two oceans, the US Navy and
27,000 nuclear weapons.

The POTUS operates in the style of Senator Joe McCarthy. His
fear mongering reduces the US
populace to so much putty unable to resist his control or question his
guidance.

The POTUS has been assured by his Jewish American henchmen
his scare tactics will work in Israel.

They are wrong, because the dangers Israelis face are real and
omnipresent. We have lost 27,000 citizens in nine wars and endless terrorist
attacks. Armed guards search everyone before he enters a public institution. The
people do not congregate in shopping malls etc. We do not make easy targets; we
carry firearms. Almost everyone has served in the military.

American fears are of the most harmful kind. They are mostly
imaginary. They are the product of press agents, media hacks and armchair Pentagon
warriors.

There is no such thing as a war on terror.
