More Distortion from the Left…

Obama was all over the television today in a speech telling his audience that John McCain was guilty of what he accused Obama of doing. Jamie Rubin referenced an old……

…am I the only one here who (upon hearing Dubya’s remarks) -considered he was speaking to the Israelis? You know – the ones who’ve consistently supported a strategy of negotiating with terrorists (and) so-called “land for peace” deals which have gained them nothing? Other than continued bombings and rocket attacks upon their civilian populace, I mean?

I think the key word in all these discussions is the term “unconditional talks.” The problem isn’t the decision to engage in talks; it’s not knowing when to walk away when they’re not going anyplace. But that serves no useful purpose, so the trick is to find out what can be achieved before the talks actually begin.

In order to do diplomacy right, you send lower level people out to lay the groundwork and find out what is possible and what can be achieved when the alpha dogs finally meet. I.e., the lower level people engage in conditional talks first, to see what can be accomplished–if anything. And if nothing can, then flick the cigar and say “hello–I must be going!” and abandon the discussions.

So: If the lower level folks report back that Iran will engage in talks if the U.S. agrees that Israel should be driven into the sea (which is probable), then of course no talks should take place.

This isn’t rocket science, people.

The Comment that Struck a Nerve (to say the least)…

President Bush made some comments that really offended Barack Obama and his supporters. The President was at the Israeli Knesset celebrating the State of Israel’s 60th birthday. There are good……

This reminds me so much of Obama and the Democrats….

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner
They’d be your partner, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not, you’re with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you? Don’t you?

You’re So Vain – Carly Simon

Obama, you’re so vain,
I bet you think this speech is about you….
Don’t you? Don’t you? Don’t you?

Personally the Dems and Repubs are squarely in Loonyland via the Crazy Express. Bush appeases Saudi Arabia (where we all know the 9/11 attackers come from and THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED MORE). Senator Obama wants to meet with dictators/terrorist leaders without pre-conditions (just a poor statement). Biden gettin’ his “bullshit” working. Hannity becoming the right arm of the National Enquirer. Air America full of airheads. So on and so forth.

I’m just so sick of the Donkey and Elephant…

Nowhere in the Presidents speech did I see “Democrats” or “Obama”. I think the fact that they automatically assumed he was talking about them speaks volumes.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much.

Biden says it’s “Bulls**t”, but then Pelosi speaks of the comments being “beneath the dignity of the office of the president and unworthy of our representation”.
I’ve never seen such immature, childish, and ignorant behavior on the part of politicians.

The dems have taken a turn into loonyland and have set up permanent residence.

Man, the more I see Snobama in action, the more I think that if he gets elected we are going to long for someone with the backbone and strength of Jimmy Carter.

This is the moment of truth for Republicans. If they retreat in the face of the phony outrage by Democrats they deserve to lose. Stop appeasing Democrats!

eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran

How courageous of him to criticise ex-Pres Clinton. Although he could have added more for Carter, but why go back that far?
