Bush Disgraces The Presidency and The US, Again
What else can you expect from a anti-Constitution, anti-rule of law, torture loving, imperial, authoritarian Republican moron like Bush who ordered the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq based on lies and is the worst president in the history of the United State!
From the NYTimes: "President Bush used a speech to the Israeli Parliament on Thursday to denounce those who would negotiate with “terrorists and radicals” — a remark that was widely interpreted as a rebuke to Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential contender, who has argued that the United States should talk directly with countries like Iran and Syria.
"Mr. Bush did not mention Mr. Obama by name, and the White House said his remarks were not aimed at the senator, though they created a political firestorm in Washington nonetheless.
"In a lengthy speech intended to promote the strong alliance between the United States and Israel, the president invoked the emotionally volatile imagery of World War II to make the case that talking to extremists was no different than appeasing Hitler and the Nazis.
“ 'Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” Mr. Bush said. “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, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.'
"The Obama campaign issued an angry response. In an e-mail statement to reporters, the senator denounced Mr. Bush for using the 60th anniversary of Israel to “launch a false political attack,” adding, 'George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.'
"Other Democrats leapt to Mr. Obama’s defense, among them Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, who accused Mr. Bush of taking politics overseas.
“ 'The tradition has always been that when a U.S. President is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water’s edge,' Mr. Emanuel said in a statement. 'President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head.' "
This dishonest, deceitful, disgusting president who has dishonored the office and the US has sent more than 4,000 US military men and women and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis including children to their unnecessary and untimely deaths based on lies.
And this disgraceful president has the audacity to smear and vilify honorable Americans like Barack Obama and others who love this country and who want to bring change to the immoral, unethical, criminal, protect the corporations, lobbyists, and wealthy, ignore the common good, stay in Iraq forever, and wage war incessantly, while ruining this country Bushite Washington, DC.
As Keith Olbermann said last evening: " 'And, sir, if you have any hopes that next January 20th will not be celebrated as a day of soul-wrenching, heart-felt Thanksgiving, because your faithless stewardship of this presidency will have finally come to a merciful end, this last piece of advice:
" 'When somebody asks you, sir, about Democrats who must now pull this country back from the abyss you have placed us at…
" 'When somebody asks you, sir, about the cooked books and faked threats you foisted on a sincere and frightened nation…
" 'When somebody asks you, sir, about your gallant, noble, self-abnegating sacrifice of your golf game so as to soothe the families of the war dead…
" 'This advice, Mr. Bush…
" 'Shut the hell up!' "
