Yep, speaking in Israel, George W. Bush made Nazi references with regard to Barack Obama’s suggestion that we might want to talk to potential adversaries:
“We have heard this foolish delusion before,” Bush said in remarks to Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. “As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”
This is repulsive. You have this sort of accusation made in a public forum by the President of the United States. What’s more, this misuse of WWII and the Holocaust was made before the Knesset in Israel.
This is unbelievably, and unspeakably low, and speaks to the mind of a man who has no moral compass whatsoever.
What surprises me the most is that I’m not stunned by this. This is exactly what I have been expecting from him, and so I’m not surprised.
That being said, had he been drowned at birth, the world would be a far better place.
