Bush Accuses Obama of 1930s-style Appeasement

So the general election campaign has begun.

“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.”

The coward who said this, George W. Bush, is the proud grandson of former US Senator Prescott Bush, who ran an American front company that was instrumental in funding the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany in the 1930s. The company was seized by the US government in October 1942 for “trading with the enemy.” Many months after Pearl Harbor, the company was still being run by future US Senator Prescott Bush. He was the first member of the Bush family to hold high office.
