Bush: Meeting with Foes Won't Confer Legitimacy Satire from ScrappleFace By Scott Ott on Global News (2007-03-01) — President George Bush, under fire from conservatives for allowing U.S. emissaries to participate in high-level talks about Iraq with diplomats from Iran and Syria, today sought to downplay the idea that such meetings will confer legitimacy on U.S. foes, as his administration has previously asserted. “Until now, we refused this kind of get-together with Iran and Syria,” said President Bush, “because it would show other radical states that spitting in the face of the United Nations is an effective strategy for getting what you want.” However, the president noted, “since we’ve been following the U.N. plan with Iran, and our Congress is reluctant to take bold action to defeat terrorists anywhere, at this point we don’t really have much legitimacy to confer.” “On the up side,” Mr. Bush added, “if we chat with Iran and Syria at least we’ll learn more about the people and the way of life that may eventually become our own. That’s a little future-oriented thinking we leaders like to call 'vision'.” scrappleface.com
