Isn't it amazing that such a powerful man, the ostensible leader of the free world, continually say such stupid things? As he goes down in history as one of the biggest dumb a**es of all time. Speaking of history, apparently our president slept through most of those classes. Or was home watching cartoons.

As I said before, I fear that Obama will be the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st century.

just_another_bozo_on_this_bus (Anonymous) says…

The conditions for the European theater of WWII were created at Versailles at the end of WWI. Perhaps Chamberlain's actions before the beginning of the war were bad, ill-advised, stupid, whatever adjective you want to apply, but they weren't the cause of WWII, and taking more belligerent action would have likely only precipitated an earlier outbreak of war.

While it's possible that the wars of the Middle East could spread to Iran and elsewhere, with devastating results, the best way to ensure that it happens is to attack Iran as BushCo are wanting to do.

The Obama camp's immediate, almost paranoid reaction to this speech demonstrates its accuracy. Senator Obama is quite vulnerable on this issue in a national election, and he and his key supporters know it.

malcolm_x_obama (Anonymous) says…

Obamajad just wants to talk to another muslim. The problem that Obamajad doesn't grasp is that muslims will hate him and never trust him.

Barak is half African by birth and Americans can understandably identify with him. In Islam, however, there is no such thing as a half-Muslim. Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is exclusive.

As the son of the Muslim father, Barak was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Barak has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother’s Christian background is irrelevant.

Of course, as most Americans understand it, Barak is not a Muslim. He chose to become a Christian, and indeed has written ad nauseum to explain how he arrived at his choice and how important his Christian faith is to him.

His conversion, however, was a crime in Muslim eyes; it is “irtidad” or “ridda,” usually translated from the Arabic as “apostasy,” but with connotations of rebellion and treason. Indeed, it is the worst of all crimes that a Muslim can commit, worse than murder (which the victim’s family may choose to forgive).

With few exceptions, the jurists of all Sunni and Shiite schools prescribe execution for all adults who leave the faith not under duress; the recommended punishment is beheading at the hands of a cleric, although in recent years there have been both stonings and hangings.

In the eyes of Muslims, Barak is considered worse than a murderer. A man that arab leaders can lie to without violating the Koran or standards of conduct because he is a condemned man, a “ridda”.

Chamberlin was a pussy. Bush is a moron. Can't really compare the two. But if there is any comparison here, it might be that Bush is a very agressive warmonger that beats the nationalistic drum to incite the people to hate a defined enemy..Hmm, does that sound familiar..kind of like middle Europe around 1933?? He got the Nazi part right,,just in the wrong context.

malcolm_x_obama (Anonymous) says…

auti,
Not true. WWII saw the systematic demonization of “Japs” and “Krauts”. The government orchestrated the media to portray the enemy in a negative light. The war on terror has not seen the media broadcasting racial or ethnic labels, it has not demonized the arab world such as we have done in previous conflicts.

Also, check your history. Nazi (facism) was a socialist movement that replaced the communist left in Germany. Many German Communists merely changed from one form of leftist socialism to another form of leftist socialism.

The Nazi were the first eco friendly government, social welfare, social programs, eugenics, abortion, euthanasia, and so on. More in line with the left and mirrors the platform of the DNC today.

autie (Anonymous) says…

go have some coffee, malcolm. Apparently you are not awake yet. If you don't think the Bush et.al. regieme has not demonized the arab world to the american people, you are not looking or listening. And I guess I miss that part when Germany was a communist nation prior to '33. There was a strong communist presence, and many members of the parliment were commuist..but that isn't a communist regieme. And I'm not sure how one can say Nazi facism/totalitariansim is even close to a leftist socialism. More like as far to the right as one can shake it. But hey, what makes a horse race?

cowgomoo (Anonymous) says…

When Obama sits down with the Iranian president, as promised, what is he going to say to stop Iran from sponsoring terrorism and creating nuclear arms?

He can't offer economic incentives or disinentives, because Iran is an oil rich country. Is he going to rattle his saber and threaten invasion? Doesn't sound like he will.

Is he going to offer up an unfettered sphere of influence in Syria, Iraq and/or Lebanon or promise that the US will no longer back Israel? If he does, that's called appeasement.

You can't continue the Bush is bad mantra and the “I offer unspecified Change” chant without sounding ridiculous.

McCain was in favor of talking to Hamas before he was against it:
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsm…
Was McCain For Negotiating With Hamas Before He Was Against It?
McCain said of Hamas: “They're the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another.”
That would seem to be at odds, at least in spirit, with McCain's pronouncement yesterday that Obama is unfit to defend America based on his willingness to negotiate with hostile foreign powers.
But the McCain camp claims that there's no contradiction here at all.
The statement continued: “Barack Obama has made his position equally clear, and has pledged to meet unconditionally with Iran's leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the leaders of other rogue regimes.”
Nonetheless, the McCain campaign is fudging the facts in this statement. Obama has never, ever said that the United States should “unconditionally meet with” leaders of Hamas or Hezbollah, as this statement clearly tries to imply (without quite saying).
In fact, Obama has explicitly said that we should only meet with Hamas “if they renounce terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exist and abide by past agreements.”

http://www.reuters.com/article/featuredC…
Iraq's foreign minister urged Iran and the United States on Wednesday to stop trading accusations and sit down for a fourth round of talks to seek solutions to Iraq's security woes… “We believe it is very important to bring both parties to the negotiating table to discuss Iraqi security issues,” Zebari told a news conference.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/…
Zebari said Iraqi officials had proposed four possible dates for Iranian-U.S. talks on Iraq's security, the most recent being March 6.
The Iraqi foreign minister made it clear that his government found it maddening to be squeezed between two crucial allies who cannot get along.

I have some questions for the mouthbreathers who claim Iran is supporting the insurgents in Iraq:
Why do you suppose McCain has praise for Iraq's Prime Minister, al-Maliki, and Iraq's President, Talabani, even though they are both cozy with Iran?
Answer: Because McCain is senile, and doesn't have a clue as to what is going on in Iraq.
Why do you suppose McCain has declared Sadr an enemy, even though Sadr's spokesman has condemned Iran?
Answer: Because McCain is senile.
Which Islamic sect is responsible for the bulk of US troop deaths — the Sunnis or the Shias?
Answer: The Sunnis. The Sunnis allied themselves with al Qaeda. Bin Laden is a Sunni.
Which sect is the coziest with Iran?
Answer: The Shias
Which militia in Iraq is the largest, and why does that militia support al-Maliki's government and al-Maliki's coziness with Iran?
Answer: The Badr Corps. The Badr Corps was trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and it has always been cozy with Tehran.
Why did Iran support al-Maliki's crackdown on Sadr's militia?
Answer: Because Sadr has condemned Iran and the Iranians don't like him.
What was Bush's stumblebums expecting when they overthrew the Sunni government and replaced it with people who were living as exiles in Iran?
Answer: They didn't think that far ahead because they are all mouthbreathers.

Its not just Obama, it is the entire leadership of the Democrat party, who appear to the world like the fools they are by claiming Bush's remarks about appeasement were a personal attack on Obama. The people in the mideast, the ones Bush was speaking to, knew exactly what that was about - it was about Jimmy Carter. Obama needs to get over himself. He is not that important.

For somebody who is supposedly 35 years old or older, you sure exhibit the emotional development and cognitive skills of a three year old.
The reason the Sunnis waged a resistance and killed our soldiers is because they were being tossed out of power by our invasion. They didn't kill our troops before our invasion — you idiot. That is also why they allied themselves with foreign fighters associated with al Qaeda, most of whom were Bush's old buddies from Saudi Arabia.
Now wipe that froth off of your mouth, and make an attempt to act like an adult for the first time in your life instead of Little Miss Muffet on acid.

Clearly, the Republican marching orders are to use the word “appeasement” as many times as possible so that people will forget its original meaning and begin to think it means “talking.” Just witness this rightwing idiot on Hardball. I'm not a Chris Matthews fan, but he deftly shows how shallow this canard really is:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/05/15/kevi…

Then again, conservative idiots have always been throwing around that charge (via glenn greenwald):
Newt Gingrich denouncing President Reagan's negotiations with the Gorbachev in 1985: potentially “the most dangerous summit for the West since Adolf Hitler met with Chamberlain in 1938 at Munich.”
and
The Orange Country Register (Sept. 1988): “Ronald Reagan has become the Neville Chamberlain of the 1980s. The apparent peace of 1988 may be followed by the new wars of 1989 or 1990.”

Between July 18 and August 1 (the day before the invasion), the Bush Administration approved $4.8 million in advanced technology sales to Iraq's weapons ministry and to weapons labs that were known to have worked on biological, chemical and nuclear weapons.
Dick Cheney, before becoming Vice President, was CEO of Halliburton Corp. from 1995 until August 2000, when he retired with a $34 million retirement package.
According to the Financial Times of London, Halliburton in that time period sold $23.8 million of oil industry equipment and services to Iraq, to help rebuild its war-damaged oil production infrastructure. For political reasons, Halliburton used subsidiaries to hide this.

beobachter (Anonymous) says…

gigolo, I did not mention black. Check definition
Racism, by its simplest definition, is prejudice and discrimination based on race. One with racist beliefs might hate certain groups of people according to their race (i.e., bigotry), or in the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits. Racism typically starts with, though is rarely confined to the assumption that there are taxonomic differences between different groups of people. Prejudices on other grounds would strictly categorize as discrimination to national or regional origin, religion, occupation, social status or some other distinction

You fit this definition.
