Bush Slams Obama From Israel On Willingness To Talk With Terrorists
Ouch…
I just heard Obama on the radio reacting to this by saying that Bush should “apologize to the American people” for politicizing the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state. Then he went on to say that Reagan negotiated with Russia’s “evil empire.”
The problem here, of course, is that Obama wants to negotiate with people who are actively engaging in terrorism against Israelis and others across the world. This does nothing but acknowledge that such acts of terrorism, if sustained long enough, will make us want to give in and negotiate. Which, in turn, simply encourages more acts of terrorism by other factions who want to get us to talk to them as well.
It’s ludicrous, naive policy and something tells me that the Israelis don’t really mind Bush using the anniversary of their country to call Obama out on it.
