Bush on the Defensive -- Gives Obama Foreign Policy Advice

BUSH GIVES OUT MORE GREAT FOREIGN POLICY ADVICE






Right, if there's one person who is qualified to give foreign policy advice, it's Bush.






Bush attacks Obama foreign policy plan

By: Mike Allen at Politico Feb 28, 2008

President Bush attacked a key foreign policy stance of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), contending heatedly at a news conference Thursday morning that talking to dictators without preconditions can be dangerous and counterproductive.

...Bush said: “It's an interesting comment. If Al Qaeda is securing an Al Qaeda base? Yes, well, that's exactly what they've been trying to do for the past four years.”

Asked later if the comment was naive, Bush said: “I believe Sen. Obama better stay focused on his campaign with Sen. Clinton, neither of whom has secured their party's nomination yet.”

Bush also said he “hadn't heard” that analysts were saying gas prices could rise to $4 a gallon by spring, although that fact was in the first paragraph of a front-page story in The New York Times on Wednesday.

It takes a lot more courage to go into the belly of the beast, sit down with a dictator and tell him off in person than to shout hollow threats and yell "bring 'em on" from the safety of the oval office.

3. I gasped this morning when I heard him say that 'he better stay focused' bullshit.
Where the fuck does he get off with the authoritarian "he better" bullshit? Stunning. Just stunning.
