I wiI not question that issue unlike the GOP, which lied about Kerry's patriotism and heroics. I realize no one will state the obvious because it would be poitical suicide to do so. However, If Kissinger, Nixon's secretary of state had not had discussions with the Vietnamese in France, John McCain probably may very well have parished in the Vietnamese POW camp, which he was being held. Someone should remind Senator McCain that he owes his life to diplomacy. Or apeasemant as he and the President would have you beleive. McCain obviously did his patriotic duty in Vietnam.

He's being offered a second shot to mince his words carefully and use his power over words and his taboo-powered rhetorics to get out of this new mess on his foreign policy. But no matter what he says, he's not going to convince the Jewish Americans that he's truly for them. Not when Hamas has endorsed him, not when his adviser resigned after being known to be talking with Hamas. Just imagine, if that adviser wasn't exposed, he would still be with Obama's team. Talk about Janus-faced politicians. Bottom line, Obama will be toast if he's the nominee because the GOP will keep digging and digging a hole for him about his foreign policy until such time when the hole becomes too big and too deep enough for him NOT to get out of it.

question #3: Now who fits the definition of terrorist more closely?

question #4: Will the GE News Network print this comment? I highly doubt it.

Did Carter talk face-to-face with Khomeini during hostage crisis? Did Bill Clinton talk face-to-face with Milosevic? Of course all Americans want diplomacy. Kennedy with Khrushchev, Nixon with Zedong, and Reagan with Gorbachev are all historical meetings that took place after months of lower-level diplomacy and produced results. Please tell me if I am wrong, but did Khrushchev, Zedong or Gorbachev deny the Holocaust or call for Israel's destruction?! There is a big difference between the leaders of the Soviet Union and China vs. a crazy man running a terrorist state. An unconditional face-to-face meeting/photo-op with Ahmadinejad is appeasement because this is exactly what he seeks and gets without making any concessions of his own. How does Barack, as POTUS, sit and have his picture taken with a madman who is a Holocaust denier and has stated his primary purpose is "to wipe Israel off the map." What rational negotiations can come from a man so removed from reality that he believes the Holocaust never happened? Even the thought of this makes me sick to my stomach. This is appeasement.
