Deciderer CommanderGuy betrays America by sending one of its most senior diplomats to negotiate with terrorism-supporting rogue nuclear state.
May 2008: Bush tells the Israeli parliament that negotiating with Iran is "appeasement."

WOLF BLITZER: When it comes to Iraq and Iran, is the Bush administration right now taking a page from Senator Barack Obama's playbook?
Let's discuss that and more with Jack Cafferty and Stephen Hayes, senior writer for "The Weekly Standard."
All of a sudden, in the past 24 hours, we learned that for the first time, the Bush administration will send the number three official at the State Department to meet with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator in Switzerland this weekend, even though the Iranians have not stopped enriching uranium, which had been the condition for such a direct level of exchange. As you know, Senator Obama's been calling for this kind of dialogue for some time.
What do you make of it?
JACK CAFFERTY: Well, I was going to say Senator Obama has been calling for this dialogue for some time. He's been saying for months that you don't just negotiate with your friends. And the timing of this probably couldn't be a whole lot worse for John McCain, because John McCain has been in Obama's face over this idea that you would go and meet with Iranian officials about their nuclear program.
Now the Bush administration is saying well, that's not a bad idea, let's send somebody over there and see if we can do a little let's make a deal.
BLITZER: So how do you explain the change?
STEPHEN HAYES: Well, you just explain it by a complete capitulation!! I mean it's a disastrous complete capitulation!!11eleventybillion!
