PRESIDENT BUSH OR NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN? NEW GOP STRATEGY OF APPEASEMENT
What do you call someone who talks to their enemies? In Bushworld, you call them appeasers and compare them to Neville Chamberlain, which is why someone needs to buy Bush an umbrella (right-wing dingaling link on purpose): US considering talks with Taliban, official says:
