Simply Unbelievable

Well that didn't take long. In a shameless display of ignorance and arrogance President Bush used a speech to the Israeli Knesset to compare Hitler's Nazi Germany rolling into Poland in 1939 to today's Iran and clearly put Senator Obama in the same category as those who failed to prevent much of the horror of WW ll.
Here is his statement: "Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. 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 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,"
Even if this comparison had a shred of truth to it, since when did it become acceptable to conduct partisan politics on foreign soil. Using this forum to attack Senator Obama on the 60th anniversary of Israel's statehood is insulting to Israelis' and should be appalling to Americans.
It's so beyond belief I don't know where to begin. I think that an American President dredging up an undefended isolationist American Senator from 1939 and laying him at his feet of those who lost the most at the hands of a madman amounts to treason.
I in no way dispute that President Bush has the right to reinforce to Israel what his position toward Iran is nor to his providing the comfort of knowing that the U.S is behind them. But instead, like an adolescent unable to resist the urge to scuffle with a classmate in the broom closet on graduation day he trivialized the event and disrespected the world in the process.
He continues to cheapen the U.S image and I suspect this will serve to further disadvantage Republicans in November.
