Joe Biden Slams Bush For Obama Appeasement Comments

MSNBC :

Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee absolutely tore into President George W. Bush for his comments from Israel, which appeared to take a swipe at Obama.

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

A Presidential assistant would be an aide, not an aid, FUBAR.

Is that moron still around? LMAO.

Beneath the Presidency? What has George Bush ever done that is not beneath the Presidency. The time has passed time for Americans to recognize Bush's phony political manipulations to which they have responded like hungry puppies to their momma's teats. Are we a country of stupid, brain dead cultists?

NO! We can see through the masquerade, behind the false bravado, inside the silly vision with which politics has been spun into something out of a daytime soap opera script. This man, who is beneath the Presidency, has nothing to offer us. Those who offered him to us, have nothing to offer us in McCain. They have no solutions, only the poorly fabricated deceits of fear, from which they would have us cower in dismay. They have created nothing but problems and don't even have the courage to admit they've done a damn thing wrong.

Bullshit and cow malarkey are more palatable to the tastes of some Americans, and if they choose to continue to devour it like candy, so be it. There are others of us, however, who would rather eat a healthier cuisine.

It is not for nothing that he made this speech from Israel. It was a vicious move calculated to bring attention to the Jewish state, Nazis, and blind sided thinking, and away from the state of the union which he has married to the destiny of Saudi Arabia. He is the master of the blind side, and we must get him out and all those who support the shadow government and army he is creating. The blind side that was amazingly never contested by any Democrats in congress (including Mr. Gore or Mr. Kerry or Mr. Kennedy or any "liberal") is how he won in 2000 and again in 2004. This man is not our elected leader and yet he leads this country. Read Naomi Wolfes book "End of America," or "1984" for double speak. He would never dare give a speech like this from Jordan.

I have heard Naomi Wolfe on democracynow.org recently and she knows the scene. I'll get her book. I was impressed with her detail and clear evidence. We do live in a Brave New World - don't we?

It's t The shock doctrine and it is brilliant brilliant. All Americans should read it but few COULD. It's 485 pages. I read every word. She is brilliant and correct. It is one scary book. It sold pretty well in Scotland..­but not here, I don't think.

[BanditTheCat]

Can anyone help me find some information. It was reported yesterday that Bush people on the ground in Israel told reporters "on background" that Bush did, indeed mean Obama. Aside from Keith, I haven't seen this reported anywhere else. Can someone point me to a link? Thanks.

[shockmagog]

The worst president in United States history.

[angelbravo]

I second that emotion (motion)

[swooge]

HAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA­HAHA!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

Georgie Porgie wasn't talking about Obama or any other Democrat. Oh no, he was talking about John Q. Public of Middle America.

What a bunch of BS.

You disengenuos trolls can't even come up with a good lie.

Hava nice day :D xxoo SI/swooge

[DFDoerr]

Obama, flip-flopper.

[biwee]

This is all a smokescreen. Shrubber went to Israel to refine the US and Israeli plans for an attack on Iran, and to examine how the US plots against Hizbollah BACKFIRED BIG TIME in Lebanon in the past week.

[ClevelandTom]

I'm trying to picture Bush planning, much less refining a plan. It doesn't work.

[RobertaInCT]

It's kind of fuzzy for me as well, Bush planning (thinking)­.....
I don't think so........­..........­......:)

[billythekid888]

They need to take thes SOB's: The cowboy and his hat, VP and his shotgun and all these other crooked republican F**K**g id**ts and parachute them into Iraq so they put their money where their mouth is.

Enough talk.

[ranger5]

Whoever said this was "beneath the presidency" hasn't been paying attention. There is nothing that is beneath this president and his monkeys.

[McSameisthegame]

Why is this a surprise???? Everything this moron has done is "beneath the office of the Presidency­"........e­xcept,mayb­e, when he hosted the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the White House!!!!

[ClevelandTom]

The Israeli parliament is probably the only one place in the world where Bush can repeat his discredited (by the Iraq Study Group, Sec. Rice and Sec. Gates to name a few) policy of refusing to talk to Middle East opponents and get applause. Clearly Bush was taking a shot at Obama but maybe its been so long since he talked to anyone that agreed with him on this point that he couldn't resist?

[McSameisthegame]

No-it was the WORST place-because he,Condi and the rest are forcing the Israelis TO TALK TO TERRORISTS!!! Fatah is the "new and improved" PLO. Abbas was second -in-charge of those terrorists for 40 years-and his thesis was on Holocaust Denial.. The fools are the Israelis in the Knesset who applauded this American lout! NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN MORE HYPOCRITICAL-AND YET THE MORONIC ISRAELIS APPLAUDED LOUDLY!!! IDIOTS!!!

[PackyJ]

What the hell? The US is appeasing "Axis of Evil" country North Korea!

lol!

[robynuva]

Thank you Pres. Bush. Thank you, thank you.

I have not seen our party so united in months. Sen. Obama gets to fight you, and Sen. McCain can't say anything but me too.

We get to embarass stupid R' on TV because they don't know history. And slam them with "politics should stopat the waters edge." AND it turns out they lied to reporters by first confirming it was about Obama, and then saying it wasn't. (reporters just love that)

This is kind of fun.

[JRandomPoster]

So - what is it going to take to get impeachment back on the table? Biden seems to have the bark; I'd love to see some bite at some point.

(And yes, I realize that what Bush said is only way beyond the kiln and egregious, and not in and of itself a high crime or misdemeanor; however, there are so many high crimes and misdemeanors to choose from at this point.)
