Hitler Enters the Race



President Bush deftly employed a little World War II trivia yesterday to expose the folly of Democrats like Barack Obama who think we can somehow negotiate away our problems with sworn enemies like Iran. During a speech before the Israeli parliament, Bush remembered the "foolish delusion" of a WWII-era senator who declared, "Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided."

The obvious implication is that Obama is the modern-day iteration of this Nazi-appeasing fool. Naturally, Democrats are howling with outrage, arguing that such a comparison is inaccurate and, furthermore, wholly inappropriate for a speech given overseas. (See above clip for more ingenious debate.) But it's par for the course for a president who perpetually cast his unpopular foreign policies as the greatest triumphs in the 20th century.

This ongoing White House effort, you'll remember, suffered a set-back when the term "Islamo-fascist" was pulled from the president's oratorical arsenal. Particularly compelling, we thought, was when Bush went on to cite the words of another olden days senator who sagely opined, "It is madness to believe the Nazi menace can ever be stopped through negotiation." Which explains succinctly why America has no choice but to confront the terrorist threat forcefully by staging two endless, embarrassingly incompetent military occupations of countries directly adjacent to the terrorist forces. This projection of American might abroad, coupled with our steadfast abstention from golf here in the homeland, cannot but ensure our eventual victory.
