President George W. Bush in Israel today stated the following, " Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument 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.
Some people suggest if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of the enemies of peace, and America utterly rejects it. Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because the United States of America stands with you. " The above is more about Obama in 08 than Israel. As Obama has stated he would meet with leaders of rogue nations, Iran, North Korea, with no conditions. This will allow McCain to go after Obama on National Security. Iran will have to be dealt with either by President Bush or the next President. It also shows that Bush will lift a finger to help McCain, it should be recalled that Reagan could play dirty pool not for his benefit but for Bush 41. Reagan stated that he would not attack the Democratic Nominee as he was disabled. A sitting President can be helpful or not to his own Party, recall Eisenhower and Johnson did not help their nominees while Reagan made sure Bush got elected in 88.
