I keep counting down the days until January 20, 2009. The lengths that our current President will go to in order to score political points will never cease to amaze me. I appreciate a good foreign policy discussion as much as anyone. But this President has no interest in having a discussion. Instead, he took an opportunity speaking in front of the Israeli Parliament to make a political swipe and inject himself into November’s election.
True peace in the Middle East is going to be difficult. To achieve peace and stability in Israel/Palestine and Iraq will require a lot of effort on all sides. It will mean direct engagement. Calling it Appeasement is a bit like referring to our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as a new Crusade.
Our President made an already difficult situation in the Middle East worse. What he proved today is that he just doesn’t care, and that he will do anything for political gain even as he rides off into the sunset…

I agree. I was disgusted. Certainly not a new sentiment about our current president, but one that seems to intensify with time.
Josh showed me a website where you can buy bumper stickers that have that date written on it :0 I was thinking of getting one.
If talking to the bad guys is such a problem, why did we cut deals with North Korea and Libya?
He makes no sense.
