    Exactly! A common strategy of unconventional warfare is to drag out combat as long as it takes. They attack, you hide. The blue print has been the same since joshua attacked jericho
    I don't think republicans are stupid. They know.


    war is peace.

    First of all, Bush never referenced Obama by name, so this was not an "attack" as the Dems and the media are trying to insinuate.

    Secondly, even if it was, is Bush not simply stating what Obama has said repeatedly what he plans to do if elected? He wants to sit down and talk with Ahmedinijad. I don't think comparisons to Neville Chamberlain negotiating with Hitler are out of line.

    Of course this all goes back to the Dems' gameplan for the general election. You're not allowed to criticize Obama. You can't point out anything potentially negative about the man or his views. These are personal attacks and you will be branded a racist or a fearmonger.

    The comparisons to Neville Chamberlain negotiating with Hitler are completely out of line, because any comparison of Ahmedinijad and Hitler are out of line. They are out of line on numerous areas. Amedinijad doesn't have the the kind of control Hitler had. Iran hasn't invaded any nations in the area. Iran doesn't have any type of active genocide in place.

    Also I'm not sure why you brought Ahmedinijad up. He is the head of state for Iran.

    A far better comparison to Neville Chamberlain would be the way Bush and his cronies have tried to silence their critics much as Chamberlain did.

    The people who claimed Bush was referring to Obama were Bush's own aids.
    So is the strategy for the general election for the GOP to make attacks on the Obama, acknowledge they were attacks on Obama, and then cry fowl when those attacks are pointed out as being bad?

    Nobody accused those remarks of being racist.

    you need to learn the difference between criticism and difference of policy/opinion. just because YOU DISAGREE with Obama or Democrats or whoever doesn't mean you're right and everybody is b****ing about your intellectual superiority. get over your ego

    Which aids? Sorry, but I'm going to need a little more than CNN (who even you said you have issues with) saying "weeell, he didn't exactly saaaaaay what our headline implies, but several un-named aides 'privately acknowledged' that that is exactly what he meant!" Come on. Is this how far the media has fallen? And for the Obama campaign to actually pick it up and run with it....

    Huh? What attacks?

    Well, I guess if CNN and Obama can interpret Bush's speech as being an attack on the Dems and Obama, then count_dough-ku should be allowed to interpret Obama's response as playing the race card. My sources tell me that several un-named Obama campaign workers have privately acknowledged the remarks were aimed at Obama accusing the GOP of being racist...

    Gosh, I hope his hair plugs don't fall out. Gotta love the coordinated response from the Obama camp -- they were so spooked that they are having every lib with any shred of foreign policy experience denounce the 'alleged' attack on Snobama.

    Meanwhile, Lieberman AGREES with Bush. So it looks like there is at least some bipartisan consensus building that says that you shouldn't appease terrorists. Obama, who carries the endorsement of Hamas, no doubt disagrees.

    Seriously. You're quick to defend imma, but not so quick to analyze. Who are these "some people"? Commies?

    Bush's own aids say the attack was aimed at Obama and other Democrats.

    If Bush didn't mean the Democrats, then who are the mysterious people Bush was referring to that want to sit down and appease the terrorists? Which group was Bush referring to that want to do this? Since Obama and Democrats have never advocated appeasement, then it would make sense he wasn't talking about them, but I can't figure out who he would be talking about.

    Of course shrub didn't mean the democrats, silly. Look at what a friendly and constructive relationship he has had with democrats since, well, since forever. He loves the democrats. He would never slander his fellow Americans in the house and senate or those Americans that voted for the democrats.

    No, I think he was talking about the Saudis. Yeah, I think he's tired of their ****.

    McCain Weighs in

    "It is a serious error on the part of Sen. Obama that shows naiveté and inexperience and lack of judgment to say that he wants to sit down across the table from an individual who leads a country who says that Israel is a stinking corpse," McCain said.

    Just in case anyone was wondering who shrub was "quoting", it was:

    Republican Senator William Edgar Borah.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/world/middleeast/16prexy.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

    The president was alluding to Senator William E. Borah, an Idaho Republican noted for his powers of oratory and his isolationist views. In 1938, when Hitler was gobbling up parts of Europe, Borah expressed admiration for him, and in 1939 he did indeed lament that he had not been able to talk to Hitler before the Nazi invasion of Poland.
