nucular,

"if they made a play for the long-coveted Afghanistan."

Like I said - check your history. The then leader of Afghanistan invited the Soviets in. But that isn't the topic.

I can see why you and uh, sarge get uptight, having been ardent bush supporters throughout his failed tenure and all, but like I said, the man shouldn't be critisizing or even giving advice on combatting terrorism whatsoever.

No one, bin Laden included has done more for Islamic fundimentalism than Bush Co and the neo-cons.

Madverts: I notice nucular has 'disappeared' since my last post on historical facts and regime change, and the challenge to the current government's stance on it. Hmmm....

Again, bush is a flat out moron, and his allusions to the current governments the US has in some cases helped install... well.... it's even more hilarious to see them support their dear leader.

If President Obama wants to get advice on how to fail miserably in the middle east, or anywhere for that matter, he can call on bush. At this very moment bush is running an appeasement program for North Korea, which really does have nukes, unlike Iraq which didnt.

bush giving advice on foreign affairs is totally worthless. Unless you want to fail. Then its terrific.

Well, in any event, President Bush is at least an expert when it comes to not being persuaded by ingenious arguments that he has been wrong all along.

zurcronium : "If President Obama [sic] wants to get advice on how to fail miserably in the middle east [Middle East] , or anywhere for that matter, he can call on bush [Bush] ."

Obama is president of Canada?

I really don't get your post.

You need your head checked.

george bush ought to keep his mouth shut. There are plenty who remember or have been reminded what his grandfather did to help advance the efforts of Adolf Hitler. Talk about appeasing the enemy.

It is unbelieveable that george bush would take American politics and slanderous attacks overseas. If Barack had done this, the republicans would be livid and accuse him of being un-American.

Change....Oh for a change in American politics.

smith: you are correct in your CIA post. But, do you think the CIA still has that type of power? I don't.

Addtionally, Obama has made a mistake in talking about this. I personally think he should have kept quiet on it. That would have been much better. Now, people are wasting time one what was said, what it mean, blah blah...

It would have been better to just gaffe it off

President Bush never mentioned a name or even a party. But just like the article says, anyone guilty of doing exactly what he stated yelped immediately.

Heh ... everyone but the liberals is getting a kick out of watching barack cry foul again. It exposes him for how weak he really is.

Bush speaks in obviously general terms about appeasement bunnies and like the rookie that he is Barack Hussein Obama leaps up, identifies himself as guilty, and then gets all huffy.

Hahahahaha.

Too funny!

It's a good point to say that bush didn't mention anyone in particular when he spoke.

Also, it's never a bad idea to point out that in few cases does anyone really know what bush is talking about, bush included!

if it wasnt so serious a topic I wud say its hilarious reading all this back & forth btwn Dems & Repubs....... same ole same ole

Bottom Line is Bush & his wingnuts have made the world a much more dangerous place, caused the deaths of 10`s of thousands, made a terrorist paradise in Iraq, & looks like Afganistan is sliding backwards, ditto for Pakistan & Bush is busy with NKorea & made a recent trip to Saudi Arabia a lovely thriving example of ME democracy(HA HA NOT!) & he has the friggin gall to talk about appeasing terrorists, pathetic

Bush simply made a factual statement --- that appeasers are naive and dangerous. Obama found decided that shoe fits him and put it on. That is all there is to it.

bush was simply describing himself, or didnt you read my lovely rant pointing out his appeasing of NKorea & SArabia, thats all there is to it!

Note: You have to find the terrorists in order to appease them. "Yuuu-huuu, Osaaaama" has not proven to be effective.

Bushes brownnosing the Saudis is disgraceful. And trying to bribe North Korea into abandoning their nuke program was a blunder, but remember that was Clinton`s original strategy, and a long-standing demand from the Democrats. Bush simply obliged, and see what we got.

Regardless, appeasing Ahmedinejad like Obama has suggested takes it to a different dimension altogether.
