Obama Aims To Appease

Methinks Barack Obama doth protest too much.
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. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all 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.
President Bush never mentioned Obama by name.

Mark Steyn's take here --
... talks provide a splendid cover for getting on with anything you want to do. If, say, you want to get on with your nuclear program relatively undisturbed, the easiest way to do it is to enter years of endless talks with the Europeans over said nuclear program. 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
