Negotiating With Terrorists + Knowledge of Foreign Policy/History?

– Uh, a little knowledge of history and political diplomacy might help!
ALSO: My daughter just e-mailed me with this tidbit on Fox News: “After a voter in a townhall meeting asked obama about nuclear stuff and the hanford site:
“here’s something you won’t hear often from a politician..uh…i’m not familiar with hanford…uh…“
She reports he also said:
“i don’t know what’s going on there [hanford]“
**APPLAUSE** — My daughter says is what the audience did after hearing that. HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD can he NOT KNOW about Hanford? Oh dear god.
READ THIS:
Because some of us do pay attention:
Barack Obama, last night in Portland, on Iran: “They don’t pose a serious threat to us.”
Barack Obama, earlier on the afternoon of May 19th, in Billings, Montana, on Iran: “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
How can you say two very different things on the same day? Perhaps it was the audience? In liberal Oregon, Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat”. In more conservative Montana, the “threat from Iran is grave.” You just don’t sound foolish, you just don’t look foolish, you are foolish.
And foreign policy is the one area where you believe have special competence? Anymore of this and I may just have to start using expletives because this is just unbelievable.
Here’s Obama in Billings:
“Iran is a grave threat. It has an illicit nuclear program. It supports terrorism across the region and militias in Iraq. It threatens Israel’s existence. It denies the Holocaust,” he said. “The reason Iran is so much more powerful than it was a few years ago is because of the Bush-McCain policy of fighting in Iraq and refusing to pursue direct diplomacy with Iran. They’re the ones who have not dealt with Iran wisely.”
More on the story at The Chicago Tribune.
Here’s Obama on the Iranian threat in Billings, Montana:
And here’s Obama in Portland. The same day.
Please stop before you give us whiplash and turn what’s left of your campaign into a laughingstock.
You may have attention deficit disorder but I don’t and the GOP has a memory like an elephant. And on video no less. I can see the ads now.
