GWB: Prophet or Heretic?

President George W. Bush is either more brilliant and prophetic than any of can ever comprehend or simply a moron, from the International Herald Tribune. Comparing the entire Congressional Democrats to the German Reistag circa 1933 or to war torn Russia in 1918 is pretty harsh under any circumstances. How exactly is that conciliatory, in an effort to work together to make our country a better place? Very sad!

President George W. Bush compared Congress' Democratic leaders Thursday to people who ignored the rise of Lenin and Hitler early in the last century, saying "the world paid a terrible price" then and risks similar consequences for inaction today.

Bush accused Congress of stalling important pieces of the fight to prevent new terrorist attacks by: dragging out and possibly jeopardizing confirmation of
Michael Mukasey as U.S. attorney general, a key part of his national security team; failing to act on a bill governing eavesdropping on terrorist suspects; and moving too slowly to approve spending measures for the Iraq war, Pentagon and veterans programs.

"Unfortunately, on too many issues, some in Congress are behaving as if America is not at war," Bush said during a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. "This is no time for Congress to weaken the Department of Justice by denying it a strong and effective leader. ... It's no time for Congress to weaken our ability to intercept information from terrorists about potential attacks on the United States of America. And this is no time for Congress to hold back vital funding for our troops as they fight al-Qaida terrorists and radicals in Afghanistan and Iraq."
