Everyone is reading between the lines, trying to dissect exactly whether President Bush took a dig at Barack Obama during a speech in Israel.
The quote in question - before Israel's legislative body: Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."We have heard this foolish delusion before."
Obama shot back, saying in part: "Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President's extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel."
The White House pointed out that Bush has made similar comments before, and refered to many throughout history. Bush even quoted a senator during WW II. Yet Democrats are blasting the statements, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying they were "beneath the dignity of the office."
Here's a pretty good recap of the he said, he said, she said, they said, whomever said here. You can also see a video of Bush's remarks there.
So, what do you think? Is everyone getting a little testy, political gamemanship or mountains out of molehills?
