For the sake of peace, he wants to go to war with Iran. Yeah, that's a good one.

Bush equating Iran with Nazi Germany is, well, what can you say? I'm sure in Bush's mind they are just the same.

Germany annexed and/or invaded everyone around them, from Prague, to Poland, to Paris.

And Iran... well... okay, maybe they haven't left their borders since biblical times.

Germany had an elected chancellor just pretty much do away with whatever democratic trappings existed, and declare himself the absolute power.

And Iran... well... okay, maybe they still have elections. But we all know the clerics run the country, right? And you can't trust those clerics! Well, you can trust our clerics. you just can't trust theirs. Oh, and nevermind that most of our problems with Iran stem back to when we staged a coup against a previous democratically elected government to install the Shah. Minor detail.

So of course we should follow a Bush third-termer in his refusal to do anything with Iran, instead of a naive new guy who thinks we ought to at least talk with them; kinda like Nixon did with the Chinese and Reagan did with the Soviets. I mean, what did any of those talks ever produce? Yep, Bush's way is much better.

Clinton supporters here: We didn't see you whining about the so-called "bias" in the media. It seems so long ago when Saturday Night Live did those now-famous skits depicting the media fawning over Senator Obama. If Barack got a PILLOW, Hillary got the whole California King-Size bed. And she rested quite comfortably on that for more than two months. During that time, Obama and his so-called "pastor problem" DOMINATED First Read, blogs and the entire news cycle. You think THAT was fun? Clinton supporters were LOVING that, much like Linda Blair snickering as she crouched in the corner of her room.

Now, all of you are whining about how Hillary isn't getting a "fair" shake. The media didn't cast those 17 million-plus votes for Barack Obama. WE did.

And all of you Clinton supporters can threaten your revenge vote for McCain all you want, but know this: If you can sleep well at night voting for four more years of sending innocent young American men and women to their needless slaughter in Iraq, instead of "holding your nose" and voting for the "black guy," be our guest.

Do either of you see any similiarites between the Bush Administration and Nazi regime as far as propaganda being used to literally invade another country?

Why do you believe the entire world is excited by the prospects of the USA electing Senator Obama as our next president?

Republicans are saying that Barack Obama is a "listener". He's open to debate. Why wasn't that an option during your Administration in 2002/2003?

Was it because most citizens in this country do not like to invade other countries without cause?

Is there anything wrong with that?

Why was it that Barack Obama felt strongly that the USA should not be invading Iraq back in 2002?

What did he understand that the entire Bush Administration and most of our military did not?

Henry B — Sat, 17 May 2008 11:30:39 GMT

Ma, “.. But the Emperor has no clothes !”

Judging from Mr Bush’s comments in Israel, he has no desire for peace in the Middle East.

Making a statement that Israel deserves to be there because God promised that Land to the Jews is no reason for Israel to be there. Mr Bush failed to mention that God also told Aaron, several times, to go across the Jordan river and put everybody to the sword! Think about it, how many people have been killed by the Israelis to get the so called “promised land”?. Did God really intend to have people killed because the Jews were his chosen people and everybody else is dispensable? Arrogance anybody?

Anybody could make the argument that while in the desert, when he was without food and water (just like Jesus was, and if we remember, Jesus saw the devil) Abraham hallucinated and thought that God promised the land on the other side of the Jordan.

We are all laughing in the West about the Muslims belief that God told whomever, that they will get 40 virgins if they die as a martyrs! If God told them that, they can also argue that God is also elling them to kick the infidels out also! To use God as an excuse to kill and steal is delusional and self serving.

The fact is, that because of what Abraham said, the Israelis have been killing for that land since Moses died. They have been displaced countless times and have tried to go back countless more times.

They finally got their land back, when the British, after bombing attacks from the Zionists (see, the Zionists are the fathers of modern terrorism), left Palestine and through the POLITICS OF APPEASEMENT gave Palestine to the Zioninst. That is how Israel was created: through blood.

The Palestinians in turn have been fighting to regain what is theirs.

Israel and the Palestinian issue is now the root of most of the problems in the Middle East. If the Palestinians had been properly compensated for what they lost, we most probably would not have these problems. For all the cynics out there, who would compare my comment with the late Borah, I only say: look at how we dealt with the US Indians. We killed most of them and took their land. However we gave them their reservations, compensated them and gave them tax free casinos. Have you heard the Indians throwing rockets or knocking on your door to take your house? The guys are not complaining BECAUSE THEY GOT COMPENSATED!.

On the Palestinian side, the Israelis took their land, put them in a cage in Gaza and as Mr Ben Gurion would write to his son: “...the old would die and the young will forget”. How arrogant! And with US help at the rate of 4 billion dollars per year and the most advanced weaponry, they keep hoping that the young will forget!

The question is now that the West (funny it has always been the West creating problems in this part of the world, starting with the crusades to kill Muslims and take Jerusalem; in those days they were the infidels, today they are terrorists) has created this mess is what do we do?

You cannot take the Israelis out and throw them to the sea and you cannot anihilate the Palestinians by putting everybody to the sword” like the Bible instructed Aaron! This, in our enlightened modern society would be called genocide which is a no-no since Hitle'rs time

At the same time, a just solution must be found for the Palestinians. I suggest that the West should take our example and do what the US did to the Indians here. We put them in reservations where they have their own rights and be compensated for their homes and land taken from them by force.

Israel should pay for what they took from the Palestinians. They should pay out of the 4 Billion dollars a year that we give them. If Mr Bush is really interested in peace, this is what Mr Bush should be focusing on; how to compensate the Palestinians and solve the problem. Be a fair Judge!

The Palestinian issue must be resolved now, through appropriate steps. To say that the Palestinians are terrorists and are not interested in peace is non-sense. The rockets they keep firing is out of frustration. If somebody comes and steals my property, fences me in a cage and the Government looks the other way, I would do exactly that, if not more.

Bush's 'Nazi' swipe at Obama

Henry B — Sat, 17 May 2008 11:42:17 GMT

If Mr Bush was interested in peace in the middle east, he should be pressing Israel to compensate the Palestinians for what they lost and one would see more concessions coming out of Israel.

Quite the contrary, not only there are no concessions coming out of Israel but Israel is building more and more housing on the disputed territories. Meanwhile we, the taxpayers are sending foreign aid (4 billion dollars per year!) to a country, which as many commentators have said, has a standard of living equal to many European countries! Meanwhile, the Palestinian problem stays in effervescence.

Mr. Bush is clearly not interested in peace. After observing how much non-sense is coming out of his mouth on this trip one can only wonder. Does our president have any brains at all? The answer is, Of Course! One does not get to be President of the most powerful nation in the world by being a lame brain! There must be another reason then.

How many US President have visited Israel twice in 6 months? None. How many times have a US Secretary of State visited Israel 20 times in 6 months? Never. One could say that he is pressing on the peace with the Palestines issue. However, the facts and his rhetoric show that peace is the last thing in his mind.

If we remember that Ariel Sharon visited Bush seven times in 2001, just before the invasion of Iraq then the logical conclusion is that he is planning with Israel to attack Iran and all the nonsense he is saying is diversionary. Watch!

Mr Bush should be impeached and tried as a war criminal if he causes the death of more innocent people. Let Israel attack Iran and bear the consequences. After all, it is their promised land. They should pay for it. I guess God did not mean to hand it to them in a silver platter. They have 50 atomic bombs, the most advanced weaponry in the ME and $4 billion dollars of our tax dollars per year! They can do it alone and it is basically a dejavus of Biblical times.

One thing is for sure, we should not keep losing our soldiers blood to “keep Israel safe”!

Arthur — Sat, 17 May 2008 11:42:20 GMT

So...a non-existent god promises a patch of land to a group of Israelites, and Bush, in accordance with his own religiosity, panders to this false premise underlying and falsely justifying the State of Israel.
Whoever the next president may be, I expect that he or she keep his or her religiosity to him or herself, and keep his or her words and deeds as secular as the office of the President of the US was intended to be, in accordance with the secular Constitution upon which this country was founded. Neither Bush nor any citizen appointed or elected to a governmental position has any valid business using the powers of the government to promote, sanction, endorse, or enforce any religious beliefs. Republicans are religionists and statists who lean to the right. Obama (a Marxist), Hillary, and Democrats in general are statists who lean to the left. Members of neither party are unfit for the office of the President because, philosophically, they stand for the complete opposite of the political philosophy upon which this country was founded. A modern day Thomas Jefferson or James Madison for President !

Bush's 'Nazi' swipe at Obama

Bush never mentioned any Democrat by name! However if Obama is so sensitive then he better start to suck it up. Believe it or not the liberal biased main stream media have given B.O. a free pass for months while they tried to destroy the Clinton "entitlement to presidency campaign". Agreed, Bush has been disappointing in recent years but don't forget Reagan brought confidence after the Carter "appeasement years" & Bill Clinton "lost" Bin Laden in the 90's.

Bush's 'Nazi' swipe at Obama

Somebody mentioned fearmongering! Saying McCain is 4 more years of Bush, isn't that fearmongering. Somebody also mentioned we have a "Nazi" government. Well, if they kick down your door in the middle of the night and drag away your aged, or infirm, or retarded, or ethnically incorrect; and if your teenager goes to scouts or brownies and returns as well tuned military machine who spies on his parents; and if you disagree with your gov't(like we are here)and mysteriously disappear;and if you read or listen to anything other than gov't sanctioned material and end up in prison or labor camp; and if you dig a mass grave then stand next to it and the last thing you hear is the click of a trigger,then we may well have a "Nazi" government. Or is that fearmongering?
