This coming from a President with the lowest ratings in history. Go figure.

The more Bush talks negative about Obama, the better chance Obama has of getting elected.

This is why Bush needs to go. This Yosemite Sam attitude is what got us into Iraq in the first place. No dialogue. Shoot first, ask questions later. I can't wait for a change.

Tis is the 1st swift bost. How can a soon to be ex-President take such a smear tactic, and make it on foreign soil is beyond me. This is sleaziness in its' worst from. If the Republicans believe that they can win the White House with thiese tactics, then they are in for a shock. The American people see this for what it is - fear mongering and hatred. Pres. Bush and the entire Republican party sould be ashamed fror this action. Sen. McCain should immediately denounce this statement, if in fact he wants to run a campaign that is honest. It was Pres. Bush who pulled this country into a war that has killed over 4,000 men and women, and returned countless permanantly injured soldiers with no more than he is your hat, what is your hurry attitude. Never again, Republican Party, Never again. Disgusting!!!

I guess Bush thinks his way…attacking innocent people and starting wars for no good reason is better.

Wow… how can president Bush say anything when it comes to issues like this? The only thing he has accomplished in 7 years is to make the world a more dangerous and frightening place.

More idiocy from the guy who consistently suggests yesterday's solutions to today's and tomorrow's problems.

Does anyone still care what this man thinks?

I'm jewish and for Bush to compare his fake, invented war to WWII is as disgusting as him saying he gave up golf because of the dead soldiers familiy members. Absolutely disgusting. Make no mistake, Bush's imperialistic power grab for oil and money has nothing to do with Nazi Germany except for the fact that his very own grandfather funded the Nazis. Do some research folks.

I agree. What next, the answer to crime in America will be to sit down and talk with every bank robber, murderer, and petty thief? Obama will be very busy over the next 8 years scheduling meetiings with every criminal on the planet. Good Luck. This Dem is voting for McCain.

Watch out America- W wants another war. We have 251 days to worry about that.

Obama/Dem's '08

You are time is up Bush. Leave us alone now. You have created enough mess.

HILLARY HAS THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT SHE IS BEING FORCED OUT!!!

BY A BUNCH OF MEN WHO ARE GOING TO LOOK FOOLISH!!!!!!

SHE WHIPPED OBAMA'S BUTT IN WEST VIRGINIA!!!!!!

AND WILL DO SO IN KENTUCKY!!!!!!

HOW WILL OBAMA EVER WIN THESE STATES IN THE GENERAL?

HE WON'T!

THE STRATEGISTS AND THE PRESS CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT THEY CANNOT STEAL OUR VOTES!!!!

WE ULTIMATELY DECIDE THIS RACE!!!!

KEEP VOTING FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

MC BUSH !!!…the destruction of America! Neo-cons run electioins on shady attack because their politics don't identify with the American people. So they divide people and run campaigns based on fear! Thats why our couontry has moved backwards instead of forwards in the last 7 years!!!

Suggesting the Democrates are politically naive is a stupid tromperie towards America….he is good on that , he already did the same with the Irak issue. There it worked….but only short time.

Who really cares what this lying sack of dung says about anybody or anything. When GWB speaks, he's lying, that's a proven, well established FACT. This POTUS is a sorry, no good for nothing lying sack of dung who should be discredited and ignored by EVERYONE.

this is unbelievable. well this is politics folks. they must be desperate and scared of the Obama wave to be hitting like that from far away. fear tactics from across continents from across oceans. ..what next?! this exposes a weakness McCain since he has to have the sitting president of USA picth for him. Didn't McCain just come back from there? His trip must not have been convincing enough so it is time to brow beat Obama. Actually Bush even went as far as using "elites" in hsi speech

Are you don't Mr Bush? OK then Bye!!!

Consider the source, my friends, consider the source.

Here is the twisted and despicable thinking that got us into Iraq in the first place. Exit quietly, Mr. Bush. There has been enough damage done to America by the mindless babbling puppets of evil and greed.

There is only true security when we can live in dialogue and mutual trust with those who disagree with us. Let's give dialogue a chance before we "bring it on" and risk the lives of more people over insufferably arrogant self-righteousness.

What about the "57 states" comment by Obama? Just a coincidence that there are 57 Islamic states?

I am ashamed to call you my president.

I love this country, and you have stomped all over it.

Wow! Bush playing the Nazi card. And this from someone whose foreign policy has led to an endless war in Iraq, the deaths of countless innocent people, and the ruination of the reputation of the US around the world.

I dont think we have to worry about Obama doing anything as president. He will not even win 180 electoral votes. Hillary or Mccain 08

Yes shaking our fist at them has helped too! We have a very negative image around the world right now. It's not so much that we could meet with our enemies, it's a image face lift that we need. We need to listen, not "give in" to everyone. Right now it's us and Israel against the world. Next the GOP will pick a fight with China!

They should get their facts right. Obama did not say he would sit down with terrorists. He said he would talk with friends and enemies i.e. countries that are friendly and those that are not.

You see when a person says things that are not accurate, you lose credibility.

Wow… Bush finally made a point with Jewish-American voters. That's actually quite shocking. Personally, I don't think Obama knows exactly what he's talking about if he decides to "have a sit down" with other country leaders who seek to harm the U.S. and other countries abroad. This is where, I'm sorry to say, Obama is flawed. Let's hope, if he does receive the party nomination, he doesn't screw up with international relations.

What our idoit president is trying to do is create an element of fear in the American people that has been successful in years past. Why? Because the GOP are losing traditional congressional districts (Mississippi, Louisiana) and run the risk of losing more seats in the House and Senate. So, what does he do? Claim the democrats love terrorists. Get real, America. Don't fall for it!!!!!!

We've heard enough from you, Mr. President. You've done enough damage. The world is ready for you to silence yourself. Please, do us all a favor and go work on your golf game.

Bush seems agitated, Irritable, Hostile, Aggressive.

I'm no doctor, but I think he could use 75 mg of Effexor.
It's a "change he deserves"

I can hardly wait until this war mongering president is out of here - any of the three running will be better than he is!

Every time I travel outside the country the first thing I am asked is, "Do you agree with Bush?" as a litmus test for acceptance.

Thank God he's a lame duck now.

This is NOT: “Obviously this is an unprecedented political attack on foreign soil.” It's actually very much the truth. But what is an "unprecedented political nightmare on domestic soil" is your candidacy!

What a laugh. Bush get over it, you and the Republicans have failed this country. America and the world has grown tired of your fear campaigns. Please just shutup…..

Obama has made his views very clear about dealing with terrorists…..it has absolutely nothing with appeasement!!!

Basically, if it isn't a ultra-hard line neocon position, then anything to the left will considered "soft", "appeasing", or "surrendering"!

What Bush has to understand is that are many ways to skin an animal, and most often, the hard line approach doesn't help, but make things worse. After all, after eight years of his leadership, how would the American public rate his foreign policy and how does the world now view the US?

We are tired of you and your silliness!!

To refer to this as "cowboy diplomacy" is to misunderstand the purpose of diplomacy, This is a cheap shot which disrespects the ocasion at which it was made.

Thanks for the history lesson, Dubya. Your method of dealing with terrorists has been SO much more successful!

destructive words from a destructive man. shame on you george bush for likening democrats to people who allowed the holocaust to take place and allowed ww2 to happen. absolutly inappropriate.

Hmm… let me see… this is same policy that brought about the quagmire in Iraq! Sheesh.

Just when I thought this "man" couldn't become any more disgusting.

I can't wait till he is tried for all his crimes he and his pals have pulled the last 8 years.

Does this guy even have any credibility to accuse anyone of anything. he lies too much for me to trust his judgement! First he lies about the rationale for the war, then he lies about the success of the war, the n he lies about how he quit golf because of the war,, and now he is arguing that democrats are like Nazi appeasers for not wanting to continue a war that he has lied about for 5 years!

This guy is unbelievable! To think that only a year or so ago, the repubs were in an uprorar when anyone suggested that they were acting like nazis. But somehow it is okay for them to suggest that dems are? Someone please hurry up and get this clown out of office!

But Obama said in one of the debates that he would not require preconditions to meeting with leaders of the world. Now he is changing his mind. Another issue he has flip-flopped on. He really does sound like the candidate who says what you want to hear, but then turns around and changes his tune. Old politics disguised as new politics is still old politics.

Bush just need to go away because he has messed up everything if he would have tried to talk or even told the truth we will not be in the mess we are in today all the american that have died,gas food, and every thing else is bad.Bush just please go away because we are sick and very much tried of you. and please take John Mccain with you because we really are in trouble here in american and we just need help so please go away.If you love Americia just go away please, because you don't have nothing to worry about gas,food,housing,etc so please please for the sake of the world go away.

It's about time someone called Obama out for "appeasing" Iran… it's almost like this Obama guy wants world peace, or something! unforgiveable! talks with Iran would be terrible for the American people, and American businesses - What would a defense contractor like Haliburton do in a peaceful world?

George Bush is hardly qualified to tell anyone what will be a successful foreign policy.

It would be a good bet for the new president, to ask Bush's opinion on foreign policy issues - then do the exact opposite.

Listen to this guy, he blows everything way out of context. Mr. Bush if you never, ever ( which is your way……. may I say it hasnt worked very well) discuss the issues we have with others in this world then how do you ever solve them?

Dubya….you have no right to say anything about someone else's idea's with the mess you and Dick created.

Bush, you are not my President anymore and you are a stupid jerk.

Another questionable factor why many Democrats are now moving their support to McCain. It makes sense…doesn't it! No time for inexperience to be in the White House.

Considering he is responsible for US bankruptcy, its loss of prestige all around the world, considering US is less safe after 5 years of a stupid war, that guy should find a hole where he will hide and shut up. Hey, 30% still approve that man.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!

Halfway around the world! In my humble opinion, this latest blast from the Republicans, coming straight from the mouth of current President Bush, ties Sen. McCain with an almost undo-able knot to the Bush years in the White House. It also sends one glaring message " The Republicans have accepted the all but inevitable outcome that "Sen. Obama is the Democratic Presumptive Nominee, And The Republicans Are Running Scared" Make no bones about it.

Seeing that President Bush's reputation in the US is in tatters, who do you folks think will be listening to this latest attack on Sen. Obama. Looking in from the outside, I don't think too many people will be standing at attention for this disgusting attack.

Is this idea some more of Bush's "good judgement"? LOL Give me a break Bush, as if anything you say matters or has any remote relevance in the truth. Just shut up and fade into history as the worst president of all time like you are.

Mr. Bush confuses appeasement with diplomacy and coalition building. Bush's cowboy diplomacy is no match for significant international alliances that would create the conditions for peaceful settlements. America will continue to have the best equipped military in the world, but fewer men and women will come home in boxes. George W. Bush continues to amaze with his pandering to the military industrial complex and his inferior mental abilities. He just can't fathom any relationship outside of his very limited conceptual box.

It is disgraceful that George Bush, during his visit to Israel for the Jewish State's 60th celebrations, should use the opportunity to do political propaganda for his party. During his seven and half years in office he continuously looked around to see which countries, who didn't comply to his form of correctness, he could attack verbally and eventually phyically. Unfortunately for him, he was unable to end the conflict in Iraq to enable him to attack Iran. The miserable chap now sees that time is running out for him to do so since there are only a few months left before the end of his presidency.

Bush is a Liar and Mccain is a Liar I hate all Republicans Democrats Unite Because Bush is attacking the Democrats when he has the lost approval rating of any President in History so anything that Obama does Different I am Open to because it could not be worst than what Bush and his gang of Idiots have done these 8 Years and Mccain will try to Continue. Democrats 08 No More Republicans

President Bush needs to stay out of this debate, and let the candidates make their own case to the voting public. John McCain & Barack Obama have diametrically opposing views, and I need their best defensible arguments for me to vote rationally in November. All President Bush is doing is muddying the waters with the dire (unintended?) effect of torpedoing John McCain's candidacy.

President Bush should respond only to those statements directed at him.

O.Kaaaaay, and who's istening to him anymore….To bad someone didn't sit down and have a really long talk with him before we went to war!

All of you at CNN are about smearing Obama. Why aren't you talking about the John Endorsement. Is this more racial bias against Obama…I think so.

I think we should be nice to other countries. It wouldn't hurt to talk before we react. Hillary made that mistake early by talking before she realized that words are not cheat when it comes to war. Sometimes we have to put up or shut. So if we talk first we know in what directions we are headed and can make the sound and appropriate judgement.

Gibbs is putting conditions on an Obama meeting with Iran but in the debates didn't Obama say he would meet unconditionally with Iranian leaders? I am confused. It was put one way in the debates, now being put another way. Sounds like he is now mirroring Hillary's stand that meetings would only take place after alot of preparation and after only certain conditions were met. I truly believe Hillary is the one to be in the Oval office.

Being caught up in the celebrity of a candidate is one thing, relying on and choosing a candidate with the strength to run the country is another….

Still Hillary08!

Nice, way to play the fear card. Again. Is anyone still buying this crap?

Mccain in '08!

This was a good article, but the bit of perspective we should remember from this is that the current Bush has been a consistant and absolute failure at anything other than brute force–so that is the only thing he knows. Come to think of it, even his attempts at brute force have failed. It's very sad that Bush doesn't even believe in negotiation, but given his failure at negotiation & compromise we should not be surprised. It is time for a new leader with an entirely new perspective and the ability to listen to others–after all, isn't it OUR government?

Didn't Republicans negotiate with terrrorists under Reagan and the first Bush, specifically the Iran… hence the Iran-Contra Affair which led to the release of American hostages?

OBAMA HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING!!!!!

THE MEDIA SEEM DETERMINED TO GIVE HIM THE NOMINATION, EVEN THOUGH ANY SEASONED POLITICIAN KNOWS HE WILL LOSE!!!!

THE REPUBLICANS WILL RUIN HIM AND I WILL ENJOY IT!!!!!!!

I DO NOT WANT McCAIN IN THERE AT ALL!
BUT I THINK THAT OBAMA WOULD BE EVEN WORSE!!!!

THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL LAUGH AT US BECAUSE WE ELECTED A PRESIDENT LIKE A CONTESTANT ON AMERICAN IDOL!

BLOWN UP BY THE MEDIA TO BE SOMETHING HE IS NOT!!!!!

WE NEED HILLARY CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

I WILL WRITE HER IN ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER IF SHE IS NOT THERE!!!!! I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

yeah I like Bushes tactic better. Ingnore them and they will go away.

Junior Bush's comment, on an international stage, re "appeasement of terrorists," which incidentally opposes what his own people have said, is just the latest proof that he is brain-dead.

The only "foolish delusion" in this story are the words coming from George W. Bush's mouth. It is reprehensible that he would use a trip to Israel as a base from which to launch such a fallacy. The man's entire Presidency is a "foolish delusion"! This story only emphasizes the fact that a major change of power needs to happen.

you GOT to be kidding me

I'm not a soccer mom and I dislike/despise Bush, but he is correct on this one. That is my worry w/Obama that he will, out of ignorance & inexperience, serve our country on a platter to the like of people like Ahmadinejad & others who seek to do us harm. Talking will not change their minds, it's ingrained in their DNA to hate us.
Hillary first, McCain if I must and by the way, Edwards is more of a "Slick Willy" than Bill C. ever thought about

Wouldn't a more poignant comparison be:

"Lord, if only somebody could have talked to W before he invaded iraq, all of this might have been avoided"

At least now we know that Bush, treacherous piece of garbage that he is, has no problem comparing Democrats to Nazis on foreign soil.

It's not too late to impeach him, folks.

I think the President Bush is totally correct; “Barack Obama is the 2nd Malcolm X”. He will be the worse enemy for this country. I'm not a nature born in this great country, but I'm a City of the USA, and “yes I'm very proud to be”.

George Bush is stubborn beyond logic, and definitely beyond effective global leadership.
Obama is not alone in his desire to talk to our enemies as well as our friends, because he is confident in his ability to state the US position.

Awaiting next January, so we can see this effective leadership begin.

What an embarrasment BUsh is.

And if that isn't reason enough to elect Obama, I don't know what is! Bush's "kill 'em all and let God sort it out" philosophy is definitely not the answer.

Obama '08

The appeasement comment is getting tired. Bush used it in the runup to the Iraq war suggesting that letting the inspectors finish their work, and search Iraq for weapons amounted to appeasement. Well guess what? We invaded Iraq and there were no WMD.

That being said I would like to encourage Bush to continue to criticise Barack Obama on the issue of Iraq. Right now, the democratic party is divided with Hillary supporters and Obama supporters. We need for more republicans to start taking shots at our candidates, to remind us that for all our differences, we all have something in common. We all disagree strongly with Bush. We may bicker within the party, but when someone takes a shot at one of our own we rally around our own.

Besides, with Bush's current approval rating any criticism from him is only bound to endear voters to Obama. I just have one request: While you are criticising Obama, would you mind throwing in a word or two of praise for McCain in there while you are at it? Just keep distancing yourself from Obama, and linking yourself to McCain, we'll ride it all the way to the white house in Novemeber.

Edwards is a joke. He got laughed out within the first few months. He is just upset that a woman could do better. If I were Clinton I would thank my lucky stars he did not endorse me.

Well President Bush has no room to talk. After what he has done in the last eight years with the false comments, false reports, and, lies he needs to end his last term on a good tone. But since that won't happen we must hear his last attempts to be heard. Whats the deal with the Mexican, American trade border aggreement. No one else aggrees with it but you, Bush. Let's be real. Obama is on a roll, which can't be stopped. Go ahead and vote for Hillary. So McCain can walk all over her in the fall. It's the truth and Im telling it.

NOW you wonder who EVER voted for this IDIOT not once, but TWICE!!!

Need I say MORE?

Oh yeah, America is much safer thanks to G.W. Bush. (I'm being sarcastic)

We will chose McCain over Obama!

Wait, so Bush is talking about learning from history now??? Funny how he didn't seem to take anything away from the Vietnam War (except how to get out of serving in it) and ignored the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE EAST in creating his Iraq policy…

Why is anyone still paying attention to anything that Bush is saying. His policies have been disastrous and frankly one would have better odds of success doing the exact opposite of whatever he proposes on economics, education, healthcare and defense. I can only pray that he doesn't do any more damage in the short time he has left.

Wow, what an empty soul George Bush has! This man uses an anniversary cerimony to play politics and fear tatics??!!

I don't even consider him my president, or the voice of the american people because this cowboy is all to concerned with his on saddle! He will be considered when he leaves office the worst president ever!!! EVER!

How ironic is it that before GB became president, he was involved w/oil and now that he leaves office, oil will be about $4 a gallon…that has to make one wonder!

So, the man that has led the most disastrous U.S. foreign policy in history is giving us advise ?
The man who chose not to listen to Gen Collin's advise and many others want to teach us foreign policy ?
Sorry Mr. President. You are not qualified to speak on this matter.
Neither were you qualified to be President in the first place.

Jimmy

What about Granddaddy Bush who was friendly to the Nazi's???? Did he forget that his wealth came from being friendly with them?????

What the heck is he doing?….Geez, how can the President of the United States make such a fool of himself, while trying to score points for McCain. To compare it to the Nazi days, just so he can get a clapping audience in Israel. If you think his popularity has bottomed out, think again. He has dragged himself and this country to an all-time low. That ago McBush.

I don't understand ppl who say they won't vote for Obama if he gets the nomination, are you voting for obama's supporters or Obama? Are you voting for or against the Iraq war, are you voting for or against roe vs. wade, are you voting for or against a guy (McCain) who has repeatedly said he knows nothing about the economy? Please put aside the pettiness and think about you and your future before casting your vote in the fall.

Appeasement is another term the Republicans use to say that Democrats cannot handle foreign policy as well as they can. This administration is a poor example of Republican foreign policy. Eisenhower used containment and confrontation with diplomacy. Nixon used divide and conquer. This administration has used pre-emptive war to weaken our armed forces and destroy our domestic economy. Now we are not in any position to confront Iran, North Korea or other threats. I do not believe that President Bush has any moral authority to lecture anyone on appeasement. He has appeased the wealthy, big business, the Chinese, the Russians, dictatorships in the Middle East and every Republican spending program that has come along. It may take us some time to recover from the appeasement of President Bush.

The "sweetie" comment does not sound condescending to me. Well after all, I am 50 and no one ever calls me sweetie anymore! i would actually find it flattering.I already know I am equal to men. we started this back in the 70's and frankly we have lost some very important parts of being women.

Simply amazing. Bush hasn't learned his lesson from 2006 midterms that the American people have wised up to the same old tired political trick of scaring them for votes. The truth is that Obama wants to talk to people instead of threaten them, which is exactly what he wanted before we went into Iraq. Five years later we see that maybe a different course of action was warranted. If Bush's policies on negotiation were in place during the Cuban Missile Crisis cockroaches would currently setting up shop as the world's dominant species. Mr. President how about you look at the polling numbers regarding your diplomatic "prowess" to tell you what the American people think about the Republican approach of fear as a political tool.

I'd just like to throw out there that NOT talking with these people has been a major fault of the current administration; it has lead to nothing positive, nothing constructive. The past eight years of history proves that to be true.
The fact that Obama is willing to engage the same people President Bush continues to ignore will be a key factor in why I vote for Obama this fall… I doubt I'm the only person who feels this way.

Obama clearly stated that he would not speak with anyone. He should not negotiate with you. I think you said it best "There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain their words away," said Bush. "This is natural. But it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century." We will end this war that you started.

This coming from a man who has personally profitted as well as key members of his cabinet from the war in Iraq. How long did it take Haliburton to build the oil pipeline thats stealing thousands of barrels of oil from the Iraqi's and giving it to the Saudi's? You sir are a traitor to this great nation, and should have been impeached years ago. You are a disgrace to this country and all it used to represent.

Oh No! Here we go with the politics of "fear" again. And why are you at CNN giving a president with an approval rating of less than 30% the audience to make these ludicrous statements?

So Obama gets defensive even when his name is not mentioned. I believe that perhaps the President intended his remarks to be directed at Jimmy Carter as well as Obama.

Obama has dismissed two foreign policy advisors at this point for their friendly comments and discussions regarding Hamas.

What are his true feelings? Once again, Obama contradicts himself when it comes to foreign policy.

Obama is not running against George Bush, he is running against himself and once again his statements prove it.

Because Bush is doing everything he can to prevent world war III - By talking trash and waging preemptive wars 2.8 and 2.9.

don't you shame ! it's so harder to speak without obama's name.
grow up!

speak for yourself ! please

Who listens to this guy anymore the worst president he is got 72% disapporval who cares what he says anymore he will be out and hide in his texas ranch in a few month.

How can we believe anything Bush says. Besides being a war monger, he is a fear monger. Past experience says, if you see his lips move, you know he is not telling the truth. Just a baseless political attack.

This is lovely Everytime Bush Speaks it goes against Mccain keep going Bush oviously no one Care what you think Bush You and Mccain are one in the same Mccain you are going down old guy and Bush you are a disgrace to this Country!

Why is this moron still talking about terrorist?

Mr President, When are you going to give up your Rambo mentality…..your policies have failed…let's us try something else…it might just work.

The quote about meeting with Hitler was from Sen. William Borah "The Great Opposer" who sounded amazingly like John McCain. Read some of the other things he's said in speeches against the League of Nations.

Unfortunately, I doubt Bush even knows who Borah was.

BTW Although McCain's Mother's side lived into their 90s, his father and grandfather died younger than he is now…. by some years.

Nothing new here. This is typical of Bush and his politics of fear.

The concept of a country running on something other than the fear of being attacked is beyond him.

Give me a break! Haven't you done enough Bush…would you like WWIII. Please stop talking and sit down!

If Bush had studied history and had been present for Vietnam he wouldn't have repeated the mistakes of his generation. This is a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black!

This is a very biased piece. In fact the leader of Hamas did endorse Obama. Everyone should look up the quote right from the man's mouth. Also, this article is a way to stoke false fears that Republicans are engaging in targeting religious groups by suggesting that Bush and McCain are merely saying this to win Jewish Americans. Not so. In fact every one of us should think twice about voting Obama if he's this generation's Neville Chamberlain. It's a real concern no matter what your religious affiliation.

Keep talkin', Georgie. The more typical drivel comes out of your mouth, the more you BURY your party and your legacy.

You never did get the message that if other entities in the world have a problem with the US, that it might be because they have a legitimate point. The world thinks we're too arrogant and imperialistic. Your response was to say F the world, and act even more arrogant and imperialistic.

Your historically low approval rating is, in part, directly attributable to the abysmal foreign relations skills your administration has shown. We NEED to re-enter the global community, if for no other reason than to apologize for the last eight years of quasi-dictatorship you have heaped upon us all.

So go on, criticize others for wanting to undo YOUR damage to America's standing in the global neighborhood. Because all you're doing is making that strategy look more right.

President Bush, what a honor to have you as our president. I Shudder to think what would happen if someone like Obama ended up as our next president. He's not getting my vote. Maybe it will take voting someone like this in to "wake America up". Or maybe we'll do the right thing and see right through him. I'm proud to be an American. I'm also proud that our soldiers fought for our freedom. And unlike the coward Obama, I will wear our american flag on my clothing as a symbol of freedom and equality. President Bush, you will go down in history as heroic, and brave for all you have done to fight against a terrorist attack on our beautiful country. Afterall, it's not just "liberty and justice for us" it's "liberty and justice for all". And that's what makes a great president.

Bush is the biggest mistake that American voters have made in the History of the United States. I hope those fools that voted not once, but twice for this man are real proud of themselves. Oil exs. not included.

If he does sit down to talk to these nutjobs (aka Carter) - please bring a camera crew. I want to see this. If you make it out, then you can make a movie, maybe win the Nobel Peace Prize or at the very least, write a book. You don't think THEY will be prepared. That's why we have Secretary of States for diplomacy. Please, please, please get a clue as to foreign relations before you speak about them. Please.

Hey W.,
Only about 30% of Americans care at all about what you have to say. The other 70% are too smart to believe your rants.

George Bush's "WMD-snatch gone haywire" in Iraq has already killed more Americans than 9-11 and mounting.

He needs to stop talking. Now.

BUSH u are alot of things Mister…….Lier, wiretapper, immunity giver to your Buddies.. Lied to the american people , Fear mongouring, Hateful little man and u talk about how much Values u have and how much u lean on your faith and your belief in God….. Punchline when u went to war in Iraq and killed innocent people just b/c saddaam was a bad dictator WOW u wonder why people wanna kill us.. Obama should meet since u or Mccain want even sit down with the man face to face, MAN UP BUSH ….. U want look weak by meeting him just make u look stronger tht u can look a man in the eyes… thats a reel leader

Bush has no credibility, his words are meaningless. The Blood of countless lives are on his hands. I think his judgement has been proven foolish and he should be impeached. I think he is a traitor to our country as well.

Why is it the US's responsibility to monitor the world. I rather put my tax money into my children, my neighbor's children, or maybe finding oil that is not dependent upon the middle east being a stable government.

As usual, with grand words and gestures, Bush lays out the world as he sees it, in purely back and white terms, i.e. a battle of good versus evil.

Mr. Bush is right ; as a man and as a leader of our great nation .
We can not ever give in to terriost nation's . If he could run for office I would vote for him again, he is and will always be a great president..
Thank you Mr. Bush !!!

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

President Bush is correct. The appeasement that the liberals want will not work. It is very appropriate that this speach was given in Isreal because they are on the front line in the war on terror. If Isreal had taken the track that American liberals (Clinton and Obama) want to take, they wouldn't be celebrating their 60th birthday.

Good, am I the only Democrat that thinks Obama is just not ready to be President. I hate tol say this but I agree with GWB on this one. I think Obama gives great inspiration but I fear his presidency. Oh well, could not be as bad as GWB.

Still, I think I will be voting independent in Nov.

Whatever Mr. Pres.. you've been right about so much during your years in office. We really believe you…

You can still meet with these people… you aren't going to make bad people go away with military force. There will always be bad people.

When you use an event like the 60th Anniversary of Israel's existence to liken current Democratic leaders to those who allowed Hitler to march across Europe, you are playing with fire. To Use this as a platform for anything other than solemn rememberance regarding why Israel was founded is very direspectful to not only those murdered in the Holocaust but also all of those resistance fighters who gave up there lives fighting for what was right.

Bush wouldn't know what was right if it punched him in the face.

Bush wants to be self righteous NOW? Where is Osama - was it all worth it? Did any of his relatives die in the war? Did he send Jenna Bush down to fight for America?

Useless hypocrite. History will judge him appropriately, no matter what he says.

I am surprised Bush can pronounce the word "appeasement".

He keeps talking, but no one is listening. Your time is just about up buddy.

so the president who allowed 9/11 to happen is the expert on preventing a terroist attack now? yeah, sure, that makes sense.

Shame on you President George Bush for that Rovain Tactic-SEE YA!

What?
Didn't Bush negotiate with the terrorists in Iraq, many times?
To name few names, Sunni insurgent groups (now allies, formerly terrorists), Sadr (terrorist turned ally turned enemy)

Enough with empty speeches, it is time for solid foreign policy.

We can always count on the media, and especially CNN, to get it right! If you read President Bush's quoted remark, nowhere does he name names or Party. What he says is factually correct….there are some who believe if we just would sit down and negotiate or meditate over candles with the terrorists, that eventually they would come around to our way of thinking.

So, CNN calls the White House and some aide gives the nod that Bush was indeed referring to Obama and the Democrats. Now the CNN headline is "Bush says Obama and Democrats want to appease the terrorists." Nice reporting CNN and why I ache for good old-fashioned reporting that just delivers the news without their slant!

It's NOT all Dems and It's NOT Hillary…..

IT'S ONLY LITTLE, INEXPERIENCED, NAIVE BARACK OBAMA

From the onset, barack said he would "meet unconditionally" with terrorist leaders…

ha ha

ANOTHER REASON why he is not "wright" for the job….

Watch out though - the Obamabots are going to lash out as usual!

How can anybody listen to this idiot president criticize alternative foreign policy? All of a sudden he has found historical perspective?!

Why is this man even still allowed to talk? For all you Clinton supporters who say you will not vote for Obama… Here is what your next 4 years would be like.

IMPEACH BUSH NOW. HE TURNS ON AMERICANS ON FOREIGN SOIL.

Oh No He didn't!!!
The republican attack machine begins.

Bush, go away, no-one likes you.

Bush is the worst President we have ever had. He basically failed at everything including Middle-East peace. Who cares what he has to say.

Independent for Obama

I hardly ever agree with Bush on anything, but this is one area that I do strongly agree with him. Obama wants more than anything to sit down with these terrorists/radicals and try to "work things out" with them…..as if he's God and can accomplish the impossible. There's a very basic truth…..you don't sit down with and/or negotiate with terrorists. All that does is give them a sense of power, strengthens their motivation, and often creates more problems than it solves.

One doesn't have to look too far to see why these people like Obama….he's enmeshed with high up leaders from these types of groups and he's very sympathetic to their plight. Obama won't make things better….he'll make things far worse than they already are.

GOP must really be afraid of Obama. That's a good sign for Obama. Bash him again George!

YEAH LIKE WE SHOULD LISTEN TO YOU AFTER ALL FINE MESS YOU GOT US IN

I am glad Bush doens't like what Obama says regarding almost anything. That means Obama is on the right track! I think the terror attack in israel yesterday had nothing to do wit Israel. It was a message for Bush!

Obama is out of his league.

Zero foreign policy experience.

Never served in the military.

Nuff Said.

I think think I've heard Bush say something quite so hateful about someone. This is pretty shameful, but no one likes him so they will forget all about this silly comment.

Bush is an idiot!!! I'm sure someone else wrote that speech for him because that sounds to educated to have come from his brain!!!

George "THE #1 EVILDOER" Bush is on his way out the door!!!!!!

this kind of politics is dangerous. It is one thing when we debate and say nasty things about each other in our own country but to go overseas and tell foriegn governments that we are electing someone who will appease terrosrists is unfothomable.

Mccain is more dangerous to our middle eastern allies than Obama

President Bush's idea of negotiation as being one of waiting around 'til the enemy accepts his ideas is futile. His reiteration of this in Israel lets us know he does not accept what even Moshe Dayan (1915-1981), one of Israel's noted military leaders and politicians, is quoted as saying: "If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies."

I think Mr. Bush need to rethink all his policies. Its too late for him to correct his flawed policies but The fact remains that nothing went right in every single policy that he started. I respectfully disagree with Mr. Bush.

There was a time when we taked about Egypt the same way but Jimmy carter made peace between Israel and Egypt. That peace came with talks. I am sure that there is a way to get Iran and Hammas to stop its hostile intents through talks. This is very dooable considering that their economy is in shreds and they have no chance of ever militarily engaging with Israel

This is a bunch of bull and McCain says has distance himself from Bush, now McCain has Bush attacking Obama overseas. If this is not going to be a third Bush term for McCain then what is it going to be. McCain fears Obama because he know he cannot beat him in a general election. What America better do is get these Republicans out of office at least Obama do not have plans to take us into a false war, killing innocent people.

Wubya is just doing what he does best trying to scare the US and Israel. This War has not made either the US or Israel more safe. This War has cost us thousands dead 100 thousands malisciously injured, Trillions of dollars, Millions of innocent Iraqi citizens not only insurgents their lives and all this behind a LIE! and Bush says he stop playing Golf in honor of the soldiers, thanks Bush I'm sure they appreciate that. Now that is more obsurd than Obama talking to the so called "Bad guys" uhhh very scary. Why do we act like we are scared to talk to these folks or think it gives them some credibility. These people have no clue where the US stands because we don't communicate with them, they get their news thru our MSM that is always trying to spread fear about them. Obama goes and tells them directly how we stand and will not Tolerate their crap then they have no excuse if we have to Bomb their butts. Israel and America should know by now not to listen to Bush and the Neo-Cons who are loosing their seats as we speak. Like Keith O. said last night about Bush just "Shut UP!"

Post this please CNN.

Dubya's the one suffering from foolish illusion here!

Bush is my hero. He fought honorably in Viet Nam and straightened out them thar VC's yeppurs. Now he's going to straighten out them thar terrists uh huh. You go bush.

ONe word. Florida.

Obama can't win it and he can't win the white house.

If we don't STOP THE MADNESS NOW we could be looking at Jeb and Chelsea as our future presidents. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OBAMA 08

BUSH HAS HAD 7 1/2 YEARS OF HARD TALK, WAR, AND HUGE DEFICITS. HE CERTAINLY WAS A NOVICE AT FOREIGN AFFAIRS WHEN HE BECAME OUR 1ST APPOINTED PRESIDENT. SEEMS THAT HE HAS NOT LEARNED HIS JOB. AND, I AM ONE CITIZEN, AMOUNG OTHER MILLIONS OF CITIZENS, THAT LOOK VERY MUCH FORWARD TO HIS RETIREMENT.

Let's hear it for our President's understanding of "diplomacy!"

January cannot come soon enough.

Oh and beating up on "Car bombing, rock throwing third world countries" is going to solve anything! Give me a Five years break!

Bush should just keep quiet, take his plunder and go home! (yes Obama can).

More bombastic bluster. Sorry President Bush, but we stopped listening to you long ago; you've lost your credibility. Likening Senator Obama to the Nazis will only further alienate the Republican party from the American voters. There is a vast difference between listening to your opponent's point of view, and out-right giving-in to their demands. Dialogue is always useful; the challenge is determining when it is sincere, and doing what is fair and equitable to ALL concerned. I'm not too sure you've mastered the latter.

Coming from someone who is a proven liar, that can't even spell "appeasement" doesn't exactly carry a lot of weight.

As if George Bush has a handle on foreign policy. As if he knows what's best for our country. If i was a Republican candidate, I'd run from this man. He is one of the many anchors for John McCain.

Nazi appeasers? You mean like Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker were? He's been trying to sell this sludge for years, and nobody's buyin it anymore.

I wonder what Mc Bush will have to say about this remark? Stupid ,stupid words keep coming from this mans mouth. Where is that moving van we need to get this jerk back to Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does Bush sleep at night knowing that his invasion of Iraq has cost tens of thousands of innocent lives? does he not realize that he is perceived in the very same way of those he criticizes? the sooner he fades away into obscurity the better… and i hope Americans are not foolish enough to elect his younger brother should he make a presidential bid. we should have learned our lesson when his whiny old man was in office.

I'm really going to listen to Bush because his policies have worked so well for the country.

WHERE ARE THE WMDs W? Where are they?

I have two words for Pres. Bush. And they ain't "Happy Birthday!"

What a pathetic attempt by Bush. Lets not forget it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a Democrat, that helped crush fascism.

To reframe the situation: Every action the Bush regime has taken in the middle east has either backfired, making the region more violent, and less stable, or had no beneficial effect for the US, for Israel, or for peace in general.

Frankly, no matter who is elected in November, they could not possible do worse in the middle east than "president" Bush, unless they bombed Allah's tomb in Mecca with pork chops.

From this statement alone we can officially say that the general election has began, Obama respond quick and let Bush know you are ready. To dems all over the country lets unite and change this country.

Bush lives by the old adege…."Silence is Golden" when in fact it is the opposite.

Never did Obama say he would just call an enemy up and say "Hey, Lets get together for lunch"

Preparation will be made before hand..but preconditions are not a necessary fact in trying to let our enemies know where we stand and how we will respond to situations.

We are not God, but we are a strong example of how one lives in harmony with others.

Please post this..or am I on your "ignore" list????

Same ole same ole. The Bush Administration wants to feed the same old FEARS that they were so good at Propergating . Enough Americans, Time to Walk without Shame and Begin to Walk with our heads held High and a sense of HOPE…. OBAMA 08-13

isn't this guy out of office yet?

When Bush says Obama wants to appease terrorist because he believes in negotiations instead of war mongering; what does Bush think, where all idiots?

Yes, President Bush is a clairvoyant now ,too, in addition to his many other talents. He should know more about taking words seriously than anybody.

Bush is right on this one

Bush should be ashamed of himself for trying to continue to scare people. He should be afraid of his own policies that have hurt us and people around the world. It is so sad to see an American President with the lowest approval rating that any President has ever had stoop so low in politics. Bush does not have a legacy-Fear is all he can give for eight long years of nothing. We will no longer tolerate winning elections based on fear.

President Bush is only giving us a taste of what to expect from John Mccain. They both should tell us what their non-discussant attitude has fetched the poor civilians of Iraq, the infants killed in Iran, the misplaced Afghans and the lost of peace and rest of mind in the world at large.

If your Bushy approach has not worked, rather than Man Caining the dead horse, shouldn't we go back to the BARACK and rethink?

Bush ..falling down that well …..and NO Legacy !!!!

Ummmm, I don't think Mr. Bush understands the difference between "diplomacy" and "appeasement". I really don't think the Democratic party has offered to sacrifice principles and pay off the terrorists in return for peace. Come on. Of course, this is coming from the man who coined the phrase "Axis of Evil".

Pandering from a lame duck prez. How unoriginal.

Yup, Bush you're still the idiot you always were. Good Ridance. Obama will be 5,000 times the president you never were.

let the dog(s) keep on barking

so that every voter knows what it means to vote republican this november.

no one will be able to say, "i was lied to" later.

Obama's has dual citizenship with Kenya.

President Bush's way has been working so well for the last seven years, so of course he would choose to deride a man who might actually want to speak with nations or groups with whom we disagree. Heaven forbid we try to reach some common ground - but then again, Bush is unable to see common ground.

The way I see it, if Bush is criticizing something someone else is doing, then they're doing the right thing.

Redneck from Texas will say anything. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Can't wait until this clown goes back to Crawford. He should stick to clearing brush and leave policy speeches to those with a grasp of reality.

If he want to talk about hatred, he only need to look into a mirror, before this country try to stop hatred around the world, it needs to start in its own house.

I just hope he know's he has just sealed the fate of the warmongering republicans
