US President George W. Bush launched what many say was a “political attack" against Democratic front-runner Barack Obama on Thursday when he addressed the Israeli parliament. Though he didn’t mention names, the statement seemed to be directed at Senator Obama’s willingness to meet with the leaders of Iran and Syria among others. Bush said that those who would negotiate are like people who said you could negotiate with Hitler. White House spokespersons denied that the Knesset remark was aimed in any way at Obama. But leading Democrats were furious and struck back at Bush. Senator Joe Biden saying "This is bullshit, this is malarkey", and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying that "I would hope that any serious person, would disassociate themselves from the President's remarks." The Real News Network Analyst Pepe Escobar says that even Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has said that the US should negotiate with Iran.

3. Biden said (on either his CNN or MSNBC interview) that

he'd been told by members of the press that it WAS a statement aimed at Obama. But we knew that.

EDIT to add that Pelosi was VERY good, and Pepe Escobar summed it up more clearly and concisely than any of our news sources. nt

4. Oh course it is about Obama. Can we as Democrats get a plan

of good strong, logical defense to use against this type of rhetoric, instead of arguing about what bush did or did not say about whomever? That is the lesson to be learned here.

5. Mr. Bush, LYING has been "wrong all along" to use your words!
