Readers of this thread may be interested in seeing this video excerpt of Barack Obama's comments in response to the comments George W. Bush made in Israel, and John McCain's agreement with those comments that Obama was interested in "appeasing" Iran and terrorist organizations.

In his comments, Obama pointed out that the USA is in its sixth year of war in Iraq, no WMD have ever been found, we were told the war would last only a few months and cost a tiny fraction of what it has actually cost, and the occupation has not made us safer. He added that Osama bin Laden is still at large, and Al Qaeda is stronger than ever because "we took our eye off the ball in Afghanistan." Obama then noted that Iran-the country Bush and McCain accuse Obama of appeasing-has been the greatest beneficiary of their bumbling foreign policy and course in Iraq, and that both Iran and Hamas are stronger because of these policies.
