Is this what we can expect from Obama ?

Lebanon via Hizballah etc etc

So at any time does a sense of the ridiculous kick in, when playing rhetorical twister like that?

Iran hasn't started a war, or even made an aggressive military move against a peaceful neighbor, in many years.

You don't expect us to buy into your tripe, do you?

Who do you think Hizballah and Moqtada are taking their orders from? Are we even living on the same planet? Aren't you aware of all the bullshit Iran has been stirring through proxies?
 
Maybe they'd start being conservative for a change.

I thought about that for two seconds after I posted it and decided it's pretty unlikely. The Republicans didn't have such big boogeymen during the 90s.

What a radical idea, Republicans being conservative!!!!
 
Peace in our time, That is what Obama is promising, He will go to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in Tehran, no preconditions, and get Peace in Our Time.

Isn't that what PM Chamberlain promised? to go to Hitler in Berlin, and gain peace in his time, no preconditions.

Look how that turned out, 60 + million dead.
 
Nixon negotiated with China, now they are one of our best, if not the best trading partner. Kennedy negotiated with Kruschev to resolve the Cuba Missile Crisis. Condi Rice advocates talking to Iran, the Iraq Study Group recommended bring Iran into any discussion of the future of the region. You have no idea how real international politics is handled.

The problem is the Bush made Iran the major power in the region, which was long held in check by Iraq, now he's freaking out. What a bunch of incompetent goons.

Buffalo, Ahmadinejad is no Hitler. Second, Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler by letting him take lands he was forbiden to take. Obama is promising to talk to Iran, not to say yes. There is a difference.

Bush himself and Reagan have done the same thing. Reagan negotiated arms for hostages with Iran before he came to the presidency. So why is it wrong to talk to Iran now when they are sabatoging our efforts in Iran?

I think the Republicans, and bush jr. in particular, are confusing international discussions with meetings with lobbysts. The Republicans think they cannot say no to a lobbyist.

its called the i don't know what the hell i am doing but i am to much of an arrogant asshole to admit that plan to international diplomacy.
 
Bush doesn't want to do anything to hurt Ahmadinejad. Bush and the Republicans need him to scare the American voter...just like Bin Laden. These guys are valuable capital to the Republicans. If it were not for these guys Americans might look at the economy...and other things that the Republican Party would not want Americans to look at.

Well said.

The GOP platform is completely dependent on an enemy they can label "Evil".
 
That was good?:D

This is a trick question because you can ask that about almost any politician and get the same response as you gave.

As a matter of fact what did Hitler do?

How's that GOP Kool-aid taste?

...and foriegn "policy" being an extension of the needs of the military/industrial complex.

The left-wing radicals are fully aware of Iran's bullshit, nuclear ambitions, and anti-semitism. But right now, GWB, McCain, and Israel are bigger enemies to left-wing radicals, and leftists are perfectly willing to appease Iran if it means a bigger thorn in the west's side.
