"I have some news for Sen. Obama. ... Unconditional meetings with a man who calls Israel a 'stinking corpse' ... will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear program. It is reckless ... to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests." - John McCain

• Vote for this Quote! • May, 16th 2008"Who is this 'some' that they were talking about? ... Was this just a straw man that they were setting up? And if so ... what was the purpose of the remarks? I'm less concerned about whether the remarks were being directed against me personally, because frankly there is no evidence out there that I've ever suggested that we should engage terrorists. So obviously, it didn't apply to me." - Barack Obama on George W. Bush's May 2008 speech in Israel
