Sen. William Borah who, on hearing of the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, lamented: "Lord, if only I could have talked with Hitler, all this might have been avoided."In honoring Israel before members of the Knesset on its 60th anniversary on May 14th, President Bush said:
Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before.

That's why that Hamas honcho endorsed Obama: They know he's their best shot at getting a European foreign minister installed as president of the United States.The moo-ssiah thinks he should be left alone to moo-ssiah jive talk undisturbed. Obama is just a child who lies when he gets caught
