    The tradition has always been that when a U.S. President is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water's edge. President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head: for this White House, partisan politics now begins at the water's edge, no matter the seriousness and gravity of the occasion. Does the president have no shame?

    "Yes, there have been appeasers in the past, and the president is exactly right, and one of them is
    Neville Chamberlain
    ,'' Mr. McCain told reporters on his campaign bus after a speech in Columbus, Ohio. "I believe that it's not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn't sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home.''

     

    Asked if he thought that former President Jimmy Carter, who struggled with the hostage crisis, was an appeaser, Mr. McCain replied: "
    I don't know if he was an appeaser
    or not, but he terribly mishandled the Iranian hostage crisis.''

    Obama attacks Bush over Iran barb

     

     

    Barack Obama has accused George W Bush of attacking him after the US president compared those in favour of talking to terrorists to Nazi appeasers.

     

    The White House has denied that the remarks - from a speech to the Israeli parliament - were aimed at Mr Obama.

     

    Mr Obama, who is the frontrunner to become the Democrats' presidential nominee, has argued in favour of negotiating with the Iranian regime.

     

    But he has ruled out talking to militant organisations like Hamas.

     

    'False comfort'

     

    "Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals," said Mr Bush in his speech.

     

    "We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is - the false comfort of appeasement."

     

     

    "It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence to launch a false political attack. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists."

     

    But White House spokeswoman Dana Perino rejected Mr Obama's interpretation of the president's remarks, saying "there are many who have suggested these types of negotiations with people that the president... thinks that we should not talk to".

     

    "I understand when you're running for office you sometimes think the world revolves around you," she added.

     

    "That is not always true. And it is not true in this case."

     

    The BBC's James Coomarasamy in Washington says the row indicates that Republicans have identified Senator Obama's Middle East policy and his perceived weakness amongst Jewish voters as a key point of attack, should he, as many expect, be Republican John McCain's opponent in the November election.

     

    Mr Obama raised eyebrows last year when he first stated his support for direct negotiations without preconditions with the controversial Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

     

    His position has been criticised, not only by John McCain, but also by Mr Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary

    ^Don't change the subject and be evasive. It is not about the news and even if it is, the title of the first article is "Shirkii Odayo-dhaqameedka *********** uga socdey tuulaa Tukaraq oo lagu kala tegey" as reported by Afnugaal not " Blood Thirsty Garaads ". Waa anshax xumo waxaas, and not politically smart thing to do if man completely devoted to this secessionist.

     

    I guess ishiisa laga arkaa ushiisa lagu tumaa. I thought you were actually better but you were weaved from thread as Suldaanka.

    ^The admin only exists in some people's mind horta.All their responsibilities are being assumed by the Culimma and civil society. The situation would be catastrophic only if the Ethios march in to Puntland otherwise it wouldn't be so hard rid off Cadde,and most ordinary people would welcome such move

    ^Understood, but what are the alternatives. People all over Somalia and now Puntland in particular have no sense of ownership their land and affairs.And I'm not suggesting interclan, but fight for common cuase shared by all. Demonstrations have already in every city in Puntland.Now we need that on bigger level.

    ^Something gotta give. Compromise and peaceful protest are not exactly terms familiar to Cadde and Co but to be fair,let's judge them on merits when it comes to key issues.

     

    Security-utter failure, Puntland was lot safer under Yeey and under the SSDF back in da day.

     

     

    Inflation- It took an intervention by Culimada and compromise by ganacsatada to slow the flow of counterfeit currency into the market.

     

    Infrastructure and Social Development-nonexistent granted they didn't have much to work with.

     

    Corruption-Cadde admin become synonmous with nepotism and corruption.

     

    Self-Rule..What was once thought to be a fairly independent entity has obviously client ministate of Zenawi, there to serve his every need. He practically runs the place and Ethio secret service are involved with every aspect of Puntland life.

     

    Now how would a peaceful protest change anything?
