Bush the "Appeaser"

George acting tough and suckin' up to the Israelis
"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said at Israel's 60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem.

"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said in remarks to Israel's parliament, the Knesset. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history." - May 15, 2008
Two months later ...
George W. Bush is sending a top envoy to multinational talks in Geneva tomorrow that will include Iran, the highest-level discussions between the two countries since Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979. The administration is also considering stationing diplomats in Tehran for the first time since then.
George, you can go ahead and just let Obama conduct our foreign policy for the next six months. We won't mind at all.
