CNN

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

No, just go over to another country and look for terrorist you'll never find!! Cause gas prices to go up for Americans, Cause Americans to loose their homes. Cause service men and women to come home with one or two limbs missing and not enough benefits to live off off. All in the name of war.

Mean while Bush's daughter is having a luxury wedding. His family hasn't had to worry about gas or loosing their home or job. It doesn't make America seem weak to want peace. Our service men and women are under the illusion that they are defending Americans, but they are really defending Bush and his ego. That same ego that has gotten just as many Americans killed as 9/11. And innocent Iraqs. And other foreign Service men and women.

Who cares what this dead beat war monger thinks
it way past time for America to apply more diplomacy around the world
get out of the mindset of always invading countries and blowing mankind up
Bottom line America needs to stop being the BULLY on the block!!!!
kudos to Senator Obama for wanting a more peaceful world
Bushs ratings say it all ....By By, dont let the door hit your butt on the way out!!!! NOONE will miss you!!

Why not sit down with Iran and have open discussions? Let's lay the ground work to unify the world not seperate ourselves from them. We use the terriost label so freely becaus eif you don't beleive in what we do in USA you are a terrorist. Let's be the role model of peace ad unification not war. "Speak soft and carry a big stick". Let's make it tranparently clear with our peace partners that if anything to disturp peace in this worl would be addressed by all peace seeking countries full force. The war in Iraq is the US war in Iraq other countries pulled troops and Aid and we did nothing. Let's unite.

George Bush negotiated with:
Libya
North Korea

These are terrorist govts that the Bush administration has been in locksteps with in negotiations to bring fragile peace and nuclear disarmament. So why the double speak and fear mongering from a failed leader who have plunged the United States into an unjust war and a woeful economic recession?!

For George Dubya to engage in smear campaign in a foreign soil against the United States democratic nominee is not only below the belt, but shows how disingenuous he has been with the american people!

Shame on George Bush!

Okay, Bush, so your way is working? Has it? How about Cheney's? Rumsfield? Huh? Shut up.

Can Bush even spell appeasement?

NATIONAL SECURITY is the number one issue.

That's it, Obama is your new president Bush made it. He still thinks everyone would share his views instead of having the opposite view.

BUSH IS RIGHT ON THIS ONE...OBAMA IS TOO NAIVE TO SERVE AT THIS TIME OF WAR!!

Yea the last 7 years have been a model for success , Bush has the thought process of a 3rd grader

President Bush dictating Obama on how best to conduct foreign policy?! Now that's something to laugh about. I, for one, am glad the days of cowboy diplomacy will soon be over and America will start the hard work of restoring our honor around the world. Terrorism will not be stopped until we remove the crippling fear in the Arab world that their countries, their families, will be the next ones bombed for no good reason.

Oh the hypocrisy!! Has everyone forgotten the Bush family ties to Saudi Arabia, particularly the bin Ladens? Have we forgotten that when the planes hit the World Trade Center Towers that Bush senior was meeting in Washington with Osama's brother? Kick this hypocrite to the curb America!!!

Mr. President just keep quite! It's ignoring non-terrorist leaders that brought huge mess to this country.

Yeah. Let's not use diplomacy. Let's just seek and destroy. Hasn't this also been shown historically to have less than stellar results? One might claim that Hitler himself used that tactic...

what did he acomplish in 8 years=more terrorists.what a shame.

Dear President Bush:

Appease THIS!!!

Oh, the irony. Bush uses the 1939 comments of fellow Republican idiot Frank Borah, to take a swipe at Barack Obama. Who does his research?

"We have heard this foolish delusion before,"

seems to me we are still
getting an ear full...

Don't even talk. I wouldn't be surprized if you staged a take over this November to stay in power.

Wow!
After Bush closed small training camps in Afghanistan, he opened larger ones in Iraq. Did Bush forget that Bin Laden has been telling his radicals that the best place to acquire training as we speak is in Iraq?

Can we imagine what would have happened if Reagan didn't speak with gorbachev? If there was no diplomacy and talks during the Cuban missile crisis? Did things were resolved without losing spilling a drop of American blood.

Can we say running without scared with your tails between your legs because you have no ideas, no agenda and no plans for the American people?

YES WE CAN!

History??? What does history say about being in an unending war with no actual endgame??? Did Vietnam teach you anything, Mr. President?

Are we really listening to him after 7 years of stupidity spewing from his mouth? I think he's lost his right to speak on anything with any veracity or sageness.

SHUTUP "Mr. President"!

soon to be ex-president bush obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. even as children we learn how to overcome our faults and fix our mistakes. bush is some how not capable of doing so. the republicans have tired of these failed policies set by their base and are now giving the democrats a chance. times up republicans.

If there is any justice in the world, Air Force One will crash into the Hills of Afganistan and take out two of the worlds biggest terrorists – Osama Bin Laden and President Bush .

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. That is all I hear from him anymore!

Dems unite! Grow up and get educated on the issues and where everyone stands.

I call for Obama's death, anyone up for it?

Bush doesn't have the TESTICULAR FORTITUDE to attack Obama in the US,It's a shame for a sitting president to go in a foreign land to attack the presidential candidate.Bush is shameless

Not much longer and this nut will be back on his ranch...

I am ashamed to be an American right now. I can't wait until this eight year nightmare is over. Bush has done more to damage this country than any terrorist could ever hope to, and he is the one who will not be judged kindly by history.

Obama said a million times he would never talk to terrorists. Its a good thing nothing Bush says has any validity nor does anyone believe him.

Rodney Kings' famous words..."can't we all just get along?"...the world's response..."unfortunately no". Fish in the sea do better. God help us.

That's exactly right. Years from now, Bush will be remembered for the good he did this country.
Terrorists can't wait for Obama...they're snickering...God help the US if he makes in the White House.

Why isn't somebody following this idiot around monitoring what he says. This is not presidential or American for Bush to be on foreign soil and turn on another American. Bush needs to be impreached today, you will never hear another head of state, especially a head of state of Israel, turn on it's own people. Bush will continue to destroy America and Gates knows this and is finally speaking out.

and Bush wants?? Which terrorists is he referring to, or is he still confused about who is who and where they are???

This president is a total idiot-no wonder his popularity is unfavorable at 80%. The gull to go in front of the Israeli Knesset and say that democrats want appeasement with terrorists is beyond stupidity. He know he is appealing to Jewish fears. Once more the fear card is being used to stop the democrats from winning in the generl election. Does President Bush want Israel involved in our political campaign? Obama has said to the Jewish community that Israel is the US best ally and he will do anything to protect it.

I want all Clinton supporters to Vote for MCain in the fall. They are too "uneducated" to realize that voting against obama goes against their interests. It helps my interests though. I need the enron loophole to stay open so my energy stocks continue to make me rich. I need blue collar voters to help me out with this

We can't get you out of there fast enough. You have tarnished your fathers legacy. YOU are a pigmy...and your legach is to leave office as the worst president EVER. just look at your ratings. So again I say...out with you pigmy,,,,,,:)

President Bush is an idiot.
'Nuff said

Each time this guy opens his mouth I am reminded just how much of an idiot he really is!

Arrogant Leader of the Free World. How Long have we been looking for Bin Laden? Your bark is worse than you Bite.....Mr "lowest approval rating ever" President.

Is anyone listening to Bush anymore?

Clinton/Clinton ticket! Never ever that walkie-talkie Hussein

CNN needs a giant Bush countdown ticker on the front page bigger than anything else on their website. I would keep it on my desktop all day everyday. I'm not even going to let myself be fazed by this idiot of a president anymore. We already see where HIS foreign policy has gotten us.

LOL!!!
This coming from the man who back in 2000 wanted to have little or nothing to do with the Middle EAST. Yet when he saw that he couldn't avoid it, he fell right inline like all the others before him on the issue!!!

Bush has and always will be an idiot President!!!
The guy is the worst President this country has every had!!!
Bush go sit DOWN!!!

Bush should concentrate more on cleaning up the white house for President Obama or help his daughter to plan her honeymoon rather than engaging in senseless political talks. He has caused enough damages to mankind in the last eight years!!

Just shut, u are an idiot!

He's an idiot! I can't wait for 1/20/09!

Lets stonewall them instead...

Look how well that worked with North Korea!

OR

Just invade... they will welcome us with Flowers!

More Bush '08... cough, gag, puke!

how is this a false political attack? obama has said it and said it some more. Yes he has supported engagement with terrorists. obama has and is using the politics of fear every day. Only he uses the word change to instill fear in the young and minority groups.

Look at where Bush has left us now and what his GREAT judgement has done to this day, He has the worst disapproval rating, and we are supposed to believe or take advice ??? seriously??? what is he thinking. Actually if the American people really dislike him as much as the polls suggest then he is doing OBAMA a favor. People will do the exact opposite of what BUSH says

Wow, the Repubs are getting desperate

Exactly how did U.S. leaders appease Nazis in the run-up to World War II? My history books and I would certainly like to know. Franklin Roosevelt, our president then, was hell-bent for war with Germany.

President Bush is using the "fear mongering" process again about terrorism to attract votes to the Republican Party. The arrogance of the present administration has led this country into a bully mentality. Barak Obama only wants to soften the hard ridges our country has projected during the past eight years under Bush.

It has started...THE FEAR CAMPAIGN is about to begin. The Republicans will try to win the White House again by using FEAR antics...go figure!

..but didn't the US government draft many an notorious and unappeased NAZI into our intelligence service after the war?
Alas, George Bush and his blinders.

Interesting that President Bush would invoke "history" when talking about appeasement. If he knew anything about the history of the world we wouldn't be in Iraq now. History would have told him that you can't invoke democracy on a People that don't understand or accept the concept . That is their history and it should be accepted as it is! Many of our allies tried to explain that to the President but he wasn't listening!

Well consider the source.. Enough said.

Obama 08

The American Senator that Bush quotes was William Borah, a Republican. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was caught, in 1942, “Trading with the Enemy”. Reagan traded arms for hostages with Iran. So it seems to me that Bush is afraid that Obama is going to behave like a Republican.

This lame duck needs to just hang it up! Mr. Bush "Where is Osama?" "Where are the weapons?" "Where are the terror cells operating now?" Lies Lies Lies! We are in Iraq for the OIL and your family's pocket book-

yes bush PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep insulting Obama – that will make him even more electable – keep up the good work!!

Right W. because you're the authority on intelligent foreign policy. You have crushed America's standing in the world with your foreign policy that encourages belligerance over logic.

Where the WMD again? Explain to me that Al-Qaeda- Iraq link? Don't you see from the continued preference for Democrats in every Congressional election, even in places like Mississippi that no one is listening to your continued reliance on fear to win votes. How about you try and accomplish something in your last months as President, which would be in stark contrast to your first 7 years in office, which history will juge as a complete disgrace. You have embarrased Americans.

George is a lamb duck dufus! This is the most moronic, imbecilic statement he has made since he announced "Mission accomplished" five years ago. No one even cares what Geoirge even says anymore.

Wow CNN is this news? Bush rambling at the mouth about Nazis and Terrorists? And yeah, Obama and the Jews are definitely at risk following his statements? OMG CNN stop finding anything you can to put doubt in the hearts of Obama fans. We aren't falling for it.

Politics of fear. It worked in 2000 and in 2004. Now the American people know better and it will not work in 2008. The train of change is moving; it's either you join the bandwagon or be left behind.

Bush who? the one person who thought hamas was some sort of middle eastern sandwich?
I dont know what to say, but that I feel sorry for him he could not tell you a from b, so whatever he says it just does not matter.

Obama 08

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?

You know, the only reason Bush is still in office, is that it would take longer than November to impeach him.

With his approval rating the very lowest in recorded history,
Bush should just continue his eight scheduled trips out of the
country before year end and just keep his mouth shut.

(this President can't perform and work in the oval office, he and Rice
fly all over the world for photo and lunches. with zero accomplishments at our expense)

God help the next president , how can any man or Woman fix
all this damage in just four years?

Awww – he couldn't even read the words that were written for him – doubt he has the brain-power to understand what the words mean.

Geeeeezzzzzz

With all due respect, Mr. President. Please stop talking now. Do the US and the world a favor - become a mute. I sincerely believe there has been more than enough fear mongering going on by your party, and it should be no surprise that people are not buying it. Know what we are buying, Sir? Lots of fuel that, in my area alone, costs over $4.00 a gallon.

Instead of trying to scare people into voting for a third term for you (by voting for your older twin) why aren't you trying to do something to help the people? No, I do not want a stimulus check because that money is going to be used for groceries and fuel - why don't you try speaking about the highway robbery happening on those fronts?

Shame on you, Mr. President. January 2009 cannot come fast enough!

Bush is a coward. Iran wouldn’t be at this strong position in the first place if it was not to his completely failed administration and strategic blunder by starting endless war in Iraq

Big deal. So what

Bush, your fear card has expired. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

"Appeasement" equates cowardism. Praise Bush for speaking up for his country! Muslim countries are closely watching Obama's campaign and celebrate each of his victories. If Obama becomes president, this country will become less American. We are the land of the free, and home of the BRAVE! Freedom isn't free.

This sounds as though he is back to ustilizing scare tactics on the American people. Bush I am gald to know there will not be another BUSH/CHENEY term or better yet a REPUBLICAN in the white house next yeat.

It has never been spoken or suggested by Obama or any other Democrat to negotiate with terriost. There has only been remarks to what each candidate would do in the case if Israel is threatened by such acts.

Please step aside and be quite until your time is up.

I knew this man was low, but I don't know if there is a definition of this level of low...

Bush and McCain govern by fear and the American people are tired of the crap. I would prefer a leader that will give peace a chance instead of wanting to end the world. The Jewish people should work diligently to create peace.

I'm glad the American people have seen through the smoke screen and are no longer scared by the republican fear and war mongering. BTW when is DHS going to raise the threat level to show that the US is in imminent danger that only McCain can address?. Or how much closer is Iran to building a Neutron Bomb.

This countries leadership is so messed up and corrupt. What won't they say to get what they want. Atleat McCain is going to try and use terrorism as a reason we should green up this country.

I guess Mr. Bush will not mind if Hillary obliterates Iran.

Hey Bush. What about the obligation to your own people, you idiot? Why is this guy still in office? Are all of you Bush supporters glad that we are the laughing stock of the world. How does a country go from one of the best to the poster child of how to screw everything up. Get out of Iraq, and stop using our troops as pawns in your game!

I just want to know when did "willing to talk to" became "appeasement". Has there been any other President who have possessed such narrow scope. MAN AM I GLAD I NEVER VOTED FOR THIS GUY.
You want to know why America has annoyed so many of our allies in the last 8 years. Here is another perfect example of a man with average intellegience once again attempting to REDEFINE words like we are as ignorant of the English language as he is!!

JANUARY CAN'T GET HERE SOON ENOUGH!!!

Those comment are so foolish and disrespectful, and must be condemned immediately. Shameful and divisive!

I have to say that George Bush is one ignorant person. He has had his dirty hands in making a mess of this country and the world. Mr. Bush, you have no room to say anything about foreign policy with the way you and your Band of Bastards have killled thousands in this war you created. You do not care about our country or any other country in this world as far as I see. Nice to see you "gave up golf" for our military, another lie as seen on Keith Olberman. You Sir are "A Liar".
I would keep talking, but you are not worth wasting my energy for. Thanks for screwing up our country and the world. You should be proud!

Wouldn't it be just like the republicans to try to blast Obama and other democrats for the near suggestion of diplomacy, especially during an 60 year anniversary speech in a foreign country. I believe it was an insult to the country and the people who have been through such turmoil, to have an American take a "campaign shot" during such a tragic event. McCain needs to take a closer look at the connection that his president is making to him. Americans are tired of fear tactics. Remeber the WMD? ......sounds familiar!

What a shame, using political attacks in his speech, and throwing in the name of bin Laden, I'm surprised he didn't blame bin Laden for the struggling economy & gas prices. I am soooooo tired of Fear Tactics. I voted for him in 2000, but he has deeply dissapointed me not only with his Domestic Policies, but his Foreign Policies also, I think we're down to 2 allies in the world.

REPUBLICAN fear tactics. REPUBLICAN spin and smear machine. More BUSH, McCain and ROVE politics.

Exit Polls are divisive and contribute to racist thoughts....Race would never be tolerated or allowed in exit polls in most democratic countries.

Appeasement is a big word for Bush. That, and the fact he cited a historical event leads me to believe that these comments were obviously written for him.

President George W. Bush should be Impeached for darlyict of duty, illegal wietpa's,Fraud,Illegally starting a war, firing U.S.Attorneys,Katrina Responce,Pardening Scooter Libby,refusing to allow supenas of staff by envoking executive privlige,insider trading of stock,lying under oath,lying and stating Mission Accomplished,.

He should not only be impeached, but also brought up on charges of crimes aganst the Iraqi Peopleand torture.

This man is a Dictator and so is Cheney.

Congress Impeach this man and prosecute him........................

American Patriot

Why should anyone be surprised that something stupid is coming out of Bush's mouth yet again. No one takes him seriously anyways.

Consider the source . . .

OBAMA '08

Um...Excuse me Mr.President... Can you spell "appeasement"

Also .. Where is Bin Laden? You have had 7 years.. Now we are in Iraq fighting two wars.. The fear tacticts are over..

Obama started this with his interview in the Atlantic Magazine where he called Bush out for his "cowboy diplomacy" and he said that our positions towards Israel has not always been a positive in our foreign policy or national security. He talked about how Arabs would naturally feel more comfortable with him in the article. Why?

Hamas has declared their support for him, Muslims in Gaza are calling voters in the US to lobby for him. Why? Questions about his decisions and positions are important, who knows maybe Bush was talking about Jimmy Carter meeting with Hamas?

Me think that Obama protests to much. In the interview on CNN his spokesman repeated the term, "cowboy diplomacy" and when he said that Bush outsourced the North Korean issue to the Europeans why didn't John Roberts hit him for that? It was the Asian countries along with the US that directly talked to the North Koreans and I might add have been more of a success then Clinton was who allowed them to ignore the treaty he signed to build the weapons in the first place? Get the facts correct will you please?

Bush is crazy to compare Hamas to Nazis. This is pandering in the most disgusting way to attack Obama. I am insulted Bush would stoop so low.

Obama and the Democrats don’t want to appease terrorists; they just want to use intellect instead of jumping into situations with guns a blazing. Unfortunately the current administration lacks the ability to use intellect when dealing with terrorist and that is why we are still fighting them and creating more every day.

Didn't George H.W. Bush sit down with Sadam during his presidency? It is unfortunate that Bush chose this moment to make a political jab at the democrats. This was a celebration and he turned it into an attack ad. Shame on him.

Idiot!

Yeah because your cowboy diplomacy has been SOOOO effective. Let's see, since bush was given the presidency North Korea has developed nuclear weapons, AlQueda is as strong, if not stronger than they were in Sept. 2001, the Taliban is on their way back in Afghanistan, we now torture people for false confessions, and the rest of the world now looks at us with mistrust at best if not downright contempt. THANKS BUSH.

Bush...Just need to get out and shut his mouth for ever..
He is a liar..Do not worry Obama,they can continue making false political attack and that wil not change anything...Obama will win and be our next president

While I disagree with the use of Hamas against Obama, I agree with W' on this one.

You can't try to sit down and talk with them, because to them, they're right, we're wrong, and nothing will change that.
Vice-versa on our side.
The only way to end all this fighting is to either separate us from each other, or have something go catastrophically wrong for both of us so that we're forced to work together (notice how a lot of the anti-china sentiment went away as soon as the quake hit?)

Bush's comments are exactly what one has come to expect from him – no more, no less. Obama's response is solid, worthy of a far better leader... here's hoping!

Awww – he couldn't even read the words that were written for him – doubt he has the brain-power to understand what the words mean.

Geeeeezzzzzz

Dear George,
Belief in god is a childish superstition quaint and out dated.
Being jewish myself i have the utmost respect for jewish people, however there is nothing chosen about them. they are ordinary people just like any one else.
Understand this and recognize that peace can be achieved when BOTH muslums and jews realize they are not special and above everyone else.

Seems like our President might want a little history lesson. It is shameful and unneccessary to compare modern day events to those of the Holocaust – one of the darkest days of mankind. When are our World leaders, particularly our own President, going to realize that not every moment should be engulfed by party politics?

and this is coming from a modern day hitler himself!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he does, the terrorists are his brothers!

Hillary or McCain '08-NEVER OBAMA!!!!!

Bush has been in negotiations with North Korea; part of what he called the axis of evil. What a hypocrite Bush is regarding negotiating.

Barack Hussein Obama , the name speaks volumes doesn't it.
So now I am a racist for putting it out there.

Oh whatever.

I hate to say it, but Bush really is that ignorant.

These people hate us for many reasons, and there is nothing worse than not trying to understand what is it that they hate us for. Nothing justify killing of innoncent, but if you don't try to understand them you would never change the status quo on the ground.

I am a Jewish American who supports Israel and Obama! I am very aware of the atrocities of the Holocaust but I am also tired of Bush's fear politics. I don't believe for a second that either Democratic candidate is hoping to appease terroristS. American has learned from the mistakes of the past, it's time to move onto the future..

ANY DEMOCRAT '08 !

It's funny...Real funny bush. Do you mean appeasement for the Nazi's like when your grandfather's corporation funded them? Yeah. Look it up. When all is said and done....we need to bring Bush, Cheney and the rest of their cronies to public trial for war crimes. This is the only way to show the rest of the world that we mean business and that these guys were running our government without public permission.

Hey George! Your lucky, Barack wouldn't punch a retard in the mouth...nimrod.

And this from a man who has managed to turn the entire world including our once greatest alley (England) against us!!! Incredible. By the way in case george bush doesn't know how to spell what obama's strategy it's spelled d-i-p-l-o-m-a-c-y. You catch more flies with honey than lemon.

This is the kind of talk that put him in the white house. Dems are good fore the economy but republicans keep this house safe. WE can not move forward without both.

OBAMA WANTS TO TALK TO THE IRANIANS.......WHAT A LAUGH...OBAMA RUNS AWAY FROM SITTING DOWN AND DEBATING HILLARY CLINTON FOR FEAR THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD LISTENING MAY HAVE MORE OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE JUST HOW IGNORANT HE IS ON THE ISSUES AND HE IS OUT PUSHING FOR TALKS WITH OTHER WORLD TERRORISTS! HOW CAN A MAN WHO (LIKE BUSH), AVOIDED WORLD TRAVEL, SIT DOWN AND MAKE DECISIONS ON THE UNTIED STATES' BEHALF, WHEN HE IS IGNORANT AS A DOOR KNOB WHEN IT COMES TO WORLD POLICY! I GUESS THE UNITED STATES IS SO STUCK ON A "MAN" IN OFFICE THAT THEY WOULD AGAIN SACRIFICE THE COUNTRY TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. IF YOU WANT CHANGE, YOU NEED TO PUT INTELLIGENCE TO WORK AND THAT IS WITH HILLARY CLINTON.

When Bush is criticizing your foreign policy, you might be on to something.

The politics of fear do not work anymore. This is why the Republicans just lost the special election in Mississippi.

The Middle East is not Nazi Germany and George Bush isn't FDR (not by a long shot!). Obviously, Bush's way of dealing with international relations has not worked. Who is he, then, to issue dire warnings about what the Democrats may do? Where are his diplomatic successes?

Seven more months. It can't come soon enough.

After a lifetime of voting Democrat I will not be voting Democrat this year – Barack Obama is NOT the man for this position. His lack of experience and rascist position are not where we need to go to pull this country together – another Democratic defeat in the making.

I find it ironic that after Sen. McCain was widely criticized for bringing up the fact that the terrorist organization Hamas had endorsed Sen. Obama, it was revealed that Obama advisor, Robert Malley, had been meeting with Hamas.

Bush's approach has worked so well, of course we should listen and follow his guidance. This country desparately needs a change!

Oh Bush. Stop it. Just stop it. Get out of that white house and let Obama in. You're so full of it. Go home to Texas and play golf and forget about the 4000 lives lost in Iraq under your stupid watch.

To CNN:

Kieth Olberman of MSNBC did a great job when he blasted president Bush last night on his show (Count Down with Kieth Olberman). We need more commentators like him that will speak their minds and the truth for the little people of this country. If we had more commentators like Mr. Olberman, this country would not be in the predicament it's in now with job loss, this horrible war and the gas crisis. If President Bush were a Democratic president, he would have been impeached within a matter of minutes and that's the truth.

I don't care if you post or not, this is something CNN, the staff (and other networks like (fixed noise) need to think about, instead of posting negative and devisive headlines all the time.

There are countries which affected by terrorism, like Israel, u.k, india and even Russia, but Mr. Bush's solutions is unique, economy in the dumps, wrong strategies used in the war. when oil was at $38, Bin ladin wanted $75, Mr. Bush is now giving him $127. There is only one thing common with this president that is common with coroporate CEO's. don't see the reason riff people off .

This president has a lot of nerve making references to Adolph Hitler in light of his propensity to "bend" the truth. Isreal shoul know this only too well and be a little worried.

Futhermore, his reference to lessons learned in history sounds funny comming from a man who can't seem to learn from his own. ,

i just have to laugh.

We need change

Outrageously inappropriate comments, timing, lack of statesmanship. Sums up the utter shamelessness, lack of understanding and complete incompetence of Bush and his cabal.
It will be interesting to see if his party backs him up on this outrage like they have for the past eight years of his buffoonery.

This is the first thing Bush has ever said that is true and it has taken him long enough to say it! We all know (at least those of us who can see past the make-believe world of Osama's "change") that Obama is alligned with the middle-eastern terror groups and they are funneling money into his campaign. Ask yourself where all his millions are coming from-the pipeline never runs dry.

Scare tactics and fear mongering? From President Bush?? I'm so surprised!

Congratulations to the President for telling it like it is! This is one of the most cogent statements I have ever seen him to make. "Those who will not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" goes the old saying, and it is none the less true for being a cliche. There is shame to be had for those who repeat history out of will ful ignorance 9for there is little excuse for such ignorance); but there are also those who repeat it on purpose, because they wish to see such things as our appeasement of Hitler (Neville Chamberlain is dead, but his spirit lives on, forever, and where is Churchill today, who can fix what those of his ilk have wrought?), or our betrayal of South Viet Nam. To these, there is more than shame. If Mr. Obama would seek to avoid the label, he should avoid the actions and appearance.

Uh oh....

Bush is such a wimp. He has to go several thousand miles away before he feels comfortable enough to take a pot shot at Obama.

Bush is such a Nancy ...

This is not only despicable, but proves yet again Bush's terrible command of the English language.

Appeasement was not talking to Hitler. Appeasement was offering him half of Czechoslovakia in return for a promise not to invade the rest of Europe.

It's the grossest arrogance to believe that simply the honor of talking to you is the greatest prize in world politics.

What Obama has proposed is totally different from the appeasement of Hitler. Obama does not suggest any kind of reward for past aggressions. He suggests sitting down and telling these people to their face that what they're doing is unacceptable, and what we want them to do before we can consider them a welcome part of the community of nations.

Nelson Mandela said: "You don't make peace by talking to your friends; you have to make peace with your enemies."

After 8 years of Foreign policy based on Isreal's interest, we need a President that bases foreign policy on American interest. Unfortunately McCain also have the naive believe that Isreal is the site of Armagedon.

Fool me once, shame on you!
Fool me twice, shame on me!

Fear mongering is not the plan this day.

Well, what do you call it when a junior senator running for the highest office in the land proposes to sit down and talk to a person like Iran's leader, who has called for the total destruction of Israel and has denied that the Nazi extermination campaign ever existed? Lord help us if this guy is elected.

Obama, I couldn't have said it better.

Even Republicans do not listen to George Bush anymore. So having the president take shots at Obama will probably boost Obama rather than work against him. Perhaps Bush thinks he's helping out McCain... but the last thing McCain needs is to have anything to do with this current administration.

It is so sad that Bush is using his office and his role as a President towards a political domestic goal. Really sad. Trying to paint Democrats as meek and docile and not strong on defense is not justified in this election year. Israel is an ally but it is not the 51st state. Folks like Bill Kristol and the powerful Jewish Israel lobby – are behind this. These are the same folks who led us to an unnecessary war in Iraq. When are the war trials to begin? We should hold Bush and his administration as war criminals for causing so much grief and making us more unsafe than before.
Learn a thing or two, Mr President – from Dalai Lama, learn from him the power of non-violence and need to communicate openly.

Wow! It seems there are many politicians who are so loyal to Israel over their fellow countrymen. So, let me guess, by saying this, the Israelis would not vote for a democrat? As if they can vote... The Jewish Americans know better than that and knows when to smell a rat.

What a loser. he has to go to another country to talk about people back home. he's the terrorist. we should be allowed to throw rocks at him. maybe someone should coat him with cement and make him into a statue and stick him in Crawford square.

Yet another idiotic coment from our idiotic President.

Once again, Bush speaks as the one and only expert in all matters concerning peace in the Middle East. He himself has certainly brought mankind to a deeper understanding of what real peace progress means. He is the epitome of peace?

Communication is the answer to most of our problems, we cannot bully everyone into a war, then spend billions of dollars cleaning up the mess we created. Mr. Bush needs to go away, when he said our economy was in a slow down, I think he was making reference to his brain.

You vicious brutal dictator. your time is up, and the world will cheer when you are arrested for you war crimes.

No one really cares what Bush says anymore.

Just think, seven more months an the anti-christ will be rid of power.
Halelujah!

In the words of Jerimiah Wright, Obama's close friend and mentor for twenty years, "God D-A-M-N America."

Obama '08

Bush needs to be slapped. By anyone. please.

This is fear-mongering at its worst. Nothing will strengthen terrorism and dangerous ideology than a hundred year long occupation of Iraq. Do you know why Osama Bin Laden turned from ally to enemy? because we deployed troops to Saudi Arabia to protect them from Saddam. If stationing troops there caused that much of a problem, imagine how a 100 year presense like Germany would make them feel.

. . . It takes one to know one.

Obama 08.

Oh, I don't know, maybe Bush is right, maybe Obama DOES want appeasement of terrorists. All I know is, whatever Obama wants, he'll still be a better president than Bush was.

I guess the republicans have started their fear mongering early.

Appeasement is the reason Bin Laden is still at large.He could have been caught, but chicken little appeased the Pakistanis by letting him hide there.

Obama has been a long believer that Israel should lay down their weapons and tear down their wall. with no demands being places on Palestine. His church is already strong supporters of this.

Obama says many things he does mean. He lies about Family and friends over and over again. Evident that he will lie about anything.

He is out to win votes and telling people what they want to hear just for those votes, Not that he beleives in it or not. Just to gain votes.

Wake up America you have been Scammed.

Yes! Thank you George! Down with the Obamazoids! Down with Postmodern Fascism! Up with democracy!

Bush is the lamest of lame ducks. Back in the days of vaudeville entertainment bad acts would get the "hook," that is, they would be "pulled" off stage – please SOMEONE get that hook out!

You don't have a clue soon to be "former" President Bush. Man that has a nice ring to it. What have you done to make this country safe??? I'm waiting...just what I thought.

Bush is right. Obama will follow Nevil Chamberlain in dealing with hostile states. Obama is not ready to lead anything anywhere.

George Bush has presided over the biggest foreign policy disaster in all of US history. He's got a lot of nerve lecturing anyone on world history (or anything else, for that matter). His complete and total ignorance of history is well known. No one cares what he thinks. No one.

-mk

The truth hurts Senator Obama. It is about time someone calls you out on your ridiculous foreign policy proposals. All Jewish Americans that care about Israel and the future of the world need to seriously think about the negative consequences of a vote for Senator Obama. Senator Obama is running for a second Carter term and we just can't afford it...

I am outraged that our President would make such an inflammatory statement like this especially while on foreign soil. I think John McCain needs to condemn this statement ASAP.

comming from bush, this might help Obama, and I'm not sure who I dislike more-bush or obama......

Obama is such a wimp. He is the poster boy for the
conscientious objectors of this world. I wouldn't want him for the Commander in Chief of anything.

Hmmmm...so, what's Bush's (and/or McCain's) solution? I deafening silence of how they'll resolve the problems in the Middle East is indication that they HAVE no plan. Just more of the same. Thus, the killing will continue under this policy of not engaging in diplomacy. Aren't we strong enough to sit down, offer solutions and make firm demands with these leaders? Certainly, NOT talking to them hasn't achieved a thing but more hatred of America, making us less safe to travel abroad. SOMETHING must change on this issue! If diplomacy does not work, then what is lost? We can come back and continue our current policies. But to not at least TRY is a mistake that the world has been suffering for the last 8 years. Why didn't Bush go after Bin Laden after 9/11? ALL of this suffering possibly could have been avoided had he did. So, why not stop trying to make it look as if this isn't a problem that he and Cheney's greed hasn't contributed to! At least SOMEONE has a plan!

GEorge has a lot of nerve–He should go away quietly

Naw...Obama is going to change the world not just this country and this country's political system. Have you not read the speach. Of course he will appease. Read his book. He early on learned appeasement as the way to navigate between two worlds. It is in his nature. We won't call it appeasement...we will call it"reaching across party lines...we will call it "reaching out to the world" we will call it.."reaching for common ground" But make no mistake Obama will be in petty mode when the rest of the world doesnot fall in line with his annointment as President andcome to love him as he expects. In that he will be as dangerous as Bush...This is a man who will use power not as a tool..but as a weapon on personel slight.

Ho Hum – consider the source. More fear-based politics and policies that we don't need any more in this country - or this world. Who really cares what he thinks or says? He's as irrelevant as it gets.

G.W Bush repeat the statement what Obama said nothing wrong on that anyway who listen to Bush
Reminder to Bush you can’t be in 08 sorry

Ok...I'm a Republican....and I have to say....President Bush – are you tring to tell the people that your foreign policy was something the next president should continue with?? The country needs to heal – and we are more divided than ever – thats why I have contributed to Obama and will support his presidency – there are many that say "we need a Democrat in the White House" – I believe we need the right person for this job....and right now – thats Obama. (if Hillary ran...that person would be McCain)

Wow! President Bush must be getting hot! Well, no wonder; Hillary and Barack have attacked and attacked him for a year and a half already!

The basic message is correct: you don't negotiate with terrorists or their supporters; Israel knows this, and that is why they have stood strong in front of their enemies for all these years.

George Bush just betrayed the American people by pandering to Israel. What a sellout! He would rather appease the Israelis by throwing his fellow Americans under the bus. Give it up GB!

Interesting & scary

Whats the harm in talking with your enemy-oh I forgot, you may actually achieve peace rahter than war

SHUT UP BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The very man that is making these comments has not been able to achieve peace by quiet diplomacy and creating war, so who should even care what he thinks, the only thing I care about is his sorry excuse grinch of a president to leave office in a long awaiting 6 months.

Does anyone care what bush says or thinks anymore?

Thank god Bush will be out soon. What a complete disrespect of history it is to connect Ahmadinejad to Hitler. Iran hasn't invaded a foreign country in the last 300 years. How long has it been for america?

I totally agree, President Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama has ZILCH experience in anything, let alone foreign affairs. He's gonna sit down and have tea with the "leaders" like Hitler from other countries. The guy says what every left wing crackpot wants to hear. That's why he'll NEVER win the big one. MAINSTREAM America does not need a half-wit in the White House.

Bush is the most incompetent president of our life time...and we will all be better off when he is finally out of office...including the rest ot the world. His remarks are inappropriate and the same nonsensical scare tactics that the republicans deliver over and over again because they have nothing else they can deliver on.

President Bush is absoultey right!

Why should we be talking to people who want to kill us?

Sen. Obama > You're wrong!

Here we go trying to establish the John Bush era or BUSH III.

You know who the frontrunner is when everybody is taking a shot.

Obama 08

Why is Dubya even talking...no one even cares what you have to say. Did you forgot that you are the most unpopular person in modern history...you're probably as unpopular as Hitler himself.

Bush, you are the terrorist and we all know what you would do. You're probably the one who first came up with the Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran song. Just go away

Bush you should have never stolen the last election, you have ruined this country and our image by the world. Go home cowboy!

"There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain their words away," – Bush;

Your right Mr. Bush I cannot fathom the evils that you have done, and I wish it was only your words that were evil and not your actions that have lead to the deaths of over 4000 american defenders in your charge.

"We have heard this foolish delusion before," – Bush;

AND WE AMERICAN WILL NOT FALL FOR IT AGAIN!!! I will always look to the leaders who bring me hope, not fear.

Here we go with the Republicans fear monger campaign!! Let the games begin.

Bush can you please not a let another word come from your mouth until you leave office. I hope you get arrested for treason. You and chaney are the biggest terroist the USA and the rest of the world has had to deal with.....ever. YOU ARE A FAILURE in more ways than one. You aren't even a third of the President Barack Obama will be.

George, no one cares about anything you have to say anymore.

I guess we should unify behind Obama and bash Hillary and her supporters. We should make McCains age an issue. We should use race cards to steer black vote away from any likely candidate. We should believe in Jeremiah Wright's sermons. We should smoke crack. We should hate all who opposes Obama!

Hate! Hate! Hate! '08

Is it just me, or has the GOP overplayed the fear card?

This country has lived with the fear created by Bush far too long. It really is time for change.

Bush remains an absolute outrage and blight on this country. Please go to MSNBC and read Keith Olberman's special comment from last night's show. It's quite amazing and I really couldn't add much to what he said except that I will be part of the cheer going around this country on January 20 when this delusional monster finally departs for good.

Considering the disaster he's left us in, he has no right to make judgments on other methods....

Bush!!..... your are NOT WELCOME ....in the USA!!!

DON'T COME BACK!!!

It is unfathomable that the only one in the exchange that sounds presidential is the Democratic nominee. Thanks to Bush, we need an overhaul of our whole political system. The failed policies of the last eight years show Americans that this system does not work. Billions of dollars exported every month for a political system in Iraq that has shown so very little progress in the last three years, while tax cuts to the corporations that move American jobs overseas. A president that does not want to release our oil reserves to aid the people while the nation looks at an abyss of recession. Barack will take our country in the direction needed. Bush can continue to quack out the rest of his Lame Duck presidency.

How dare Bush go to Israel and tell the wonderful Jewish People that if Barack Obama and his cabinet talks with Iran that would be like talking to Hitler. Maybe if Bush had talked to the people in Iraq he wouldn' t have cost this country and families 4,000 people their lives and countless billions of dollars. Maybe this economy wouldn't be in shambles. The nerve of Bush and McCain using this to scare the country. This is just sick, underhanded and undermined. Bush is grasping for anything to keep his policies in place at any cost. I'm a 60 w/female Republican voting for Barack Obama and proud of it.

How many days do we have left of this clown....?

Get a clue Mr. President. You have become the very thing you say you despise, the greatest terrorist of them all.

The only thing Barack is interested in doing is actually using diplomacy to rebuild our relationship with foreign countries that you have completely destroyed.

Do us all a favor and shut your mouth and go hide in a hole in afghanistan with bin laden and let the real leaders deal with these big boy problems. Who knows we may actually regain our status as a caring, freedom loving nation, and save lives and money all at the same time.

If this is a they have for ammo they had better just go home.

How in the heck did this man make it to the presidency? His miserable failures have harmed us as a country. Once again he blunders his own agenda out to the world that puts shame into the light. This full presidency has been a nightmare in my eyes. Not just one term but two, are the american voters ignorant to all this?

Why should we care what Bush thinks?

He says Obama wants appeasment.... Well America wanted a qualified president for the past 8 years and we didnt get that!

Bush's invasion / occupation of Iraq is sure working great, eh? That'll show them ole terrorists.

I find it amazing that a man who has turned the entire world including our once greatest alley (England) against us can make a remark about Obama's desire to use diplomacy with our enemies than obliteration. Is it any wonder Bush has an 80% disapproval rating. It's not appeasment Bush, it's called diplomacy something you never used and have you ever heard the phrase "you catch more flies with honey......."

Hey Bush and all the Repub's, when all else fails, resort to fear mongering and smear tactics. I guess it has worked for you in the past. The only problem is that you've used it and have since ruined the fabric of life for many americans for years to come. Americans need to send you a strong message that says we know what you guys did to us, we still face threats, you didn't get Bin Laden but now we have to pay $4 a gallon for gas, $4 for a gallon of milk , people losing their homes, losing their jobs and the list goes on. And oh by the way, you still didn't get Bin Laden.

GW – The one trick pony. I wonder how much duck tape he now has on that Fear Card he likes to play over and over. George, less card playing and more real work would have actually helped us all.

Bush... you're retarded... you know nothing about foreign policy... you think everything is solved with guns and war and you're trying to argue that the democrats never think to use guns and war. Obama has even said he would make strategic strikes against Al Qaeda in Pakistan if he received good intelligence about it. It's all about trying for peace with Iran and Syria... not immediately calling for war. We want to at least reach the people of Iran if the government cannot be reached... many Iranians hate their government.

bush got a problem

Words are free. Wars are not. I know that's not a concept you understand, Mr. President, but I hope our next President does understand that.

"Bush said the U.S. and Israel are locked in an ideological struggle with radicals in the Middle East..."

Bush doesn't even know what 'ideological' means. All he knows is cowboy diplomacy and setting things up for his business buddies to reap millions off of America taxpayers...

Bush is a failure and has no place criticizing anyone's foreign policy...

I am a MODERATE......just can't take the idea of the MOST LIBERAL Senator becoming president...sounds too much like a Carter Presidency....and I am old enough to remember that hell.....bye bye Democratic Party....My family will now register Independent and vote with our heads in November....hopefully a good Moderate Experienced Candidate will surface soon

Hillary Clinton would have made one hell of a great President…..too bad the media made the Clintons out to be racists so she lost the African American's support…..too bad the media is SEXIST.....too bad the DNC could not even support this family that has given their entire lives to public service and to the Democratic Party, too bad the Dems Primary system is flawed and gives caucus states soooo much control where only 2-3% of the population gets their votes counted, and too bad Democratic voters could not have supported this family that has given us the ONLY SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENCY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES changing deficit to surplus and adding 22 million new jobs…..it's really too bad, she's such a bright, intelligent, hard-working person…..
good luck in the fall, DNC…you will need it BIG TIME!
Where else but in America can the DEMOCRATIC candidate who has WON NY, NJ, TX, OH, PA, CA, WV, KY, RI, MA, NH, TN, AZ, NM, AR, OK, and YES FL and MI.....not be our democratic nominee??????

What has President Bush done to deter terrorists? Nothing at all. Does he not understand that a terrorist cannot be deterred? No one is saying that we have to appease them, but, you have to admit, not talking to them sure isn't working. There is absolutely nothing bad that can come out of sitting down with these leaders from a position of power as opposed to sending more of our troops to die in foreign lands after they blow something else up in America.
George Bush's stubbornness is one of the main reasons that America is in such bad shape now. Honestly, I didn't think it was possible to cause this much damage while being in office.

bush makes me sick

Go ahead Bush, let's bomb the world into a peaceful existence.

Wow. THIS is the best the Republicans have, come November? Well, it's been fun having you in that big white manor up there on 1600 Pennsylvania, but methinks you and your ilk are getting the boot come the 2nd Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Pack yer bags and get out.

No, let's not talk to our enemies Mr. Bush, let's just drop a 'nucular' bomb on them. That'll improve our image around the world.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe if Hamas likes Obama, they'll be willing to actually negotiate a real peace treaty with him?

Wow, I didn't realize that Bush was going to campaign for Obama!

First the endorsement of John Edwards, then the anti-endorsement of Bush... Turning out to be a great week for the next POTUS!

Obama 08!

YES WE CAN

Yuck! Like anyone would believe a word that comes from his mouth. Pure garbage! Hey George, while your in the Middle East, why don't you go poking around for those WMD's you can't find...

We should get used to this tactic and come up with a good defense. Of course it's the usual BS from the GOP - but it's what they have and what they're going to use, so let's learn to fight back.

BUSH YOU NEED TO BE QUIET AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO THE UNITED STATES. YOU JUST DON'T WANT OBOMA TO WIN THE ELECTION
