Bush equates talking to terrorists with appeasing Nazis. Clearly a shot at Obama. CNN reports:
Funny, Bush’s own Defense Secretary said yesterday the US needs to sit down and talk with Iran, and appease them with incentives:
“We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage . . . and then sit down and talk with them. If there is going to be a discussion, then they need something, too. We can’t go to a discussion and be completely the demander, with them not feeling that they need anything from us.” — Robert Gates, US Secretary of Defense
Let’s see, where has Bush’s brand of cowboy diplomacy got us?
* The US was attacked on 9/11 after Bush ignored a string of dire and insistent warnings (he then went on vacation for a month)
* After Bush vowed to capture bin Laden, 6 months later he said he was “truly not that concerned about him” and … even after cornering bin Laden at Tora Bora, he was allowed to escape.
* Bush invaded Iraq based on lies, supported by a mass propaganda effort, and in a botched plan, didn’t provide for securing Iraq’s borders. Now there is a quagmire. A situation that the former top commander in Iraq, Gen Sanchez called: “a nightmare with no end in sight.”
* Al Qaeda has strengthened and a gov’t report lambasted the Bush Adminitration for having no plan to do anything about it and stated because of this incompetence, another attack could be expected.
* Iran has become emboldened and belligerent. The Middle East has become increasingly destabilized. Who knows what this could hold for future oil prices and the US economy.
Question: with this record, is Bush in a position to criticize someone else’s foreign policy?
This is all documented FACT. Visit website for links and documentation.
