More on B & I & O

by Dan Lindley

Does this reflect a dysfunctional government? Are Gates and Negroponte Obama supporters? I do not think President Bush would be intentionally so ironic.

QUOTE ONE:

"President Bush used a speech to the Israeli Parliament onThursday to liken those who would negotiate with “terrorists and radicals” toNazi appeasers ­ a remark widely interpreted as a rebuke to Senator BarackObama, who has advocated greater engagement with countries like Iran and Syria."New York Times, May 16, 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/us/politics/16obama.html?hp

QUOTE TWO:

"The United States should construct a combination of incentives and pressure toengage Iran, and may have missed earlier opportunities to begin a usefuldialogue with Tehran, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday."Washington Post, May 15, 2008 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/05/14/ST2008051404020.html

QUOTE THREE:

"Launching a congressional critique of China, Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte said Thursday that persistent, peaceful dialogue is paying off in aligning Beijing with the United States on several major world fronts."AP, May 16, 2008 http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jZZKrQszTnCrVHedQoazSUulMrvAD90MANHG4
