Bush, in a speech in Jerusalem this morning, has told the Kenesset that some candidates (meaning Obama) woud negotiate with terrorists and this is the equivalent to wanting to negotiate with Hitler.
This is a disgusting attack on more than one level:
– it contradicts the custom of campaigning against a political opponent in a foreign country…
= it ignores the fact that Bush’s own State Dept is indirectly negotiating with the Iranians now…
- it defies Bush’s claim that he is not going to get involved in the campaigns during the primaries…
- it ignores the fact that Bush has negotiated with terrorists in the past (Libya comes to mind
- it is an obvious move to alienate American Jews in Florida against Obama…
- it is without truth.
The question now is will McCain take a stand against this vile attack from Bush or join with it? He had better nake a statement regarding this statement by the President immediately, or he lowers his own campaign into Bush’s gutter.
