“When I am this party's nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don't like. And he will not be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether or not it is ok for America to torture — because it is never ok… I will end the war in Iraq… I will close Guantanamo. I will restore habeas corpus. I will finish the fight against Al Qaeda. And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. And I will send once more a message to those yearning faces beyond our shores that says, "You matter to us. Your future is our future. And our moment is now.”

— Barack Obama, Des Moines, Iowa, November 10, 2007

Shame on you George .W Bush! I'm not used to comment on the US presidential statements or on my own blog here, but this one cannot be ignored. He said at the Israeli "Knesset" that it's ridiculous to think that we can, or we're able to talk with terrorists..So how about the free world? They think that you Mr George .W Bush are a terrorist though they are talking with you! And saying that a particular regime or government is a terrorist or supporting terror Only because the US foreign policy does not like it, is really the lowest level of political stupidity even for the Bush-Cheney government.

   After eight long and deadly years of presence at the white house, We may have been saying that we're used to hear odds incoming from the oval bureau now...but here, the statement is coming from the Knesset, by an US president, attacking an US political candidate for the presidency, and we may find on internet what Israel thinks of Mr Barack Obama...so a question comes in my mind: Who's governing the United States of America?

This comment is personal, and has nothing to do with Mr Obama
