Israel to George Bush: Speak to the hand...
One month ago, Dear Leader graced the Knesset with his soaring oratory:
And that is why the founding charter of Hamas calls for the "elimination" of Israel.
[...]
Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the 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 I could only have talked to Hitler, all 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.
Little more than a month later, the following happens. Israel and Hamas agree the outlines of a truce.
We should know way better than to think that peace will now suddenly break out in the Holy Land. But we should take heart that the retarded philosophy of George Bush is now widely recognized around the world for what it is.
If the Israeli government is prepared to engage in the actions that the President regards as tantamount to Nazi appeasement, less than a month after being warned by the same President of the risks from doing just that... well, I'll be darned.

Wow, even the world knows that in
his upside down speak, they should
do whatever he says not to.
Now if the MSM here and the lemmings
would understand that he is lying
no matter what he says, they might
better report the REAL news and earn
back 2% of their lost respect.
If he says Iran is the boogeyman of
the day, we must know Iran is cool...he has never been right yet.
