President Bush's comments on appeasement - 16May2008

Let's talk about those who've appeased America:

• What about the "Old Europe," nations like Belgium, Germany, and France, nations which allowed themselves to be intimidated into sending a token force to Iraq to join "the coalition?"
• What about Spain and Italy pulling their token forces out of Iraq after the one, Spain, was the target of a terrorist attack and the other, Italy, after their force sustained fatalities?

Did they "appease" both America and the terrorists? More importantly, who wrote President Bush's remarks? Does anyone question that he had the knowledge, etc. to write it?

Why would Condoleeza Rice, or whoever was advising him go along with his speech, allowing him to disgrace himself and our government? Did he simply insist on it?

I personally see a child when I hear President Bush speak, and a very fearful one. I see a cowardly child, who has used the might of America to bully our allies and enemies alike.
