Whoops! Bush's Man is Committing a False Comfort of Appeasement
Remember President Bush's Appeasement speech in Israel on May 16, 2008?
The president, at Israel's 60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem, suggested that some Democrats were acting in the same way some Western leaders did when they appeased Hitler in the runup to World War II.
"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," he said while speaking to Israel's parliament, the Knesset.
He called it a "foolish delusion" to think the U.S. can negotiate with terrorists.

First off, keep in mind the man that said those words about Hitler was a Republican.
Secondly, Keith Olbermann on Countdown of MSNBC reported tonight that President's own man that he put into Iraq's leadership role, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, is now set to talk to Iran's President.
Hm'mmm! I wonder if the President will say anything about THIS bit of news in public?
