The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats of wanting to appease terrorists "bulls**t” and said if the president disagrees so strongly with the idea of talking to Iran then he needs to fire his secretaries of State and Defense, both of whom Biden said have pushed to sit down with the Iranians.“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement,” Biden said angrily in a brief interview just off the Senate floor.
“He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out not me. The NIE has pointed that out and what are you talking about, is he going to fire Condi Rice? Condi Rice has talked about the need to sit down. So his first two appeasers are Rice and Gates. I hope he comes home and does something.”
He quoted Gates saying Wednesday that we “need to figure out a way to develop some leverage and then sit down and talk with them.”

At that point in the hearings, McCarthy was sweating and all red, and he knew it was over. That goon Bush does not even possess enough of a conscience to embarrass. McCarthy drank, and died shortly after his mess- George will be smiling that stupid, dopey grin until he is senile, incontinent, and probably 101 years old! - 5 years ago

Touch Art "Given the Bush family history with the Nazis and the war profits they had to give back related to the Silesian Steel Mills on the Oswiesin Work Camps where so many Jewish people were killed in northeastern Poland, it is outrageous that George W. Bush would have the gall to bring up the Nazis in Israel on the 60th birthday of the nation."
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the Idiot in Chief make his remarks. People are unaware of just how Evil the Bush family really is and how long they have been that way. They don't know that GW Grandfather Prescott Bush was part of a group of bankers that plotted a coup against FDR, that would have succeeded had it nor been for Smedley Butler. Most people have never even heard that name, and we owe him so much. Thank you for the post.

More on George W. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush and his maternal great-grandfather George Herbert Walker and the funding of the Nazi war machine.
Given the Bush family history with the Nazis and the war profits they had to give back related to the Silesian Steel Mills on the Oswiesin Work Camps where so many Jewish people were killed in northeastern Poland, it is outrageous that George W.

George W. Bush should know a thing or two about Nazis. His family history is full of connections to Nazis. His grandfather Prescott Bush and his partner Thyssen helped finance Hitler and the Nazis to power in Germany with a $million dollar investment.
Check out this link for more on Prescott Bush and Silesian Steel.
"Bush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.Thyssen owned the largest steel and coal company in Germany and grew rich from Hitler's efforts to re-arm between the two world wars. One of the pillars in Thyssen's international corporate web, UBC, worked exclusively for, and was owned by, a Thyssen-controlled bank in the Netherlands. More tantalising are Bush's links to the Consolidated Silesian Steel Company (CSSC), based in mineral rich Silesia on the German-Polish border. During the war, the company made use of Nazi slave labour from the concentration camps, including Auschwitz. The ownership of CSSC changed hands several times in the 1930s, but documents from the US National Archive declassified last year link Bush to CSSC, although it is not clear if he and UBC were still involved in the company when Thyssen's American assets were seized in 1942.

Hell yes Biden.
The man speaks the truth. Think about it: the US is hit by a terrorist attack. The DHS and other such men in black start a huge propaganda campaign through their connections to the so-called "liberal media" (with Fox news being the most traitorous yet laughable example) to frighten people with the Terrorist Threat Level and other simple scare tactics to make the average person think they are going to be attacked any day now by bad men with AK-47s speaking incomprehensible languages and wearing strange clothing. This works on the average person, ensuring their approval for a new crusade, the "War on Terror", replacing the good ol' War on Drugs. This campaign is far more drastic, clumsy, and violent, making the Drug Wars look like surgically executed special operations by comparison.
However, like most of the policies put forward by the Bush Administration, the title of "The War on Terror" is misleading, merely a front. What do terrorists want? Simply put, they want terror. Terror is a very useful tactic for getting a political movement what it wants (the original American Revolutionaries were terrorists) and is a very broad term. But the US was giving them exactly what they want. Terror.
Why would they do this?
Several theories exist as to their motivations, including money, oil, glory and power being some of the most popular these days. My theory is a combination of all.
However, people eventually started getting upset when their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, etc. began coming back wrapped in flags (or ziploc bags). People got smart, people got a little angry, but people figured that by the time anything could be done about the idiotic yet cunning commander in chief and his eerily stereotypical evil adviser, he will have left the throne anyway. His term is almost up.
This is a facet of the roughly cut blood-diamond that is the United States of America that I can admire. Even it's rudimentary form of democracy requires that no person can rule for more than two terms of four years, ensuring that a small and (almost) completely non-violent revolution every 4 or 8 years. I theorize that this is why the United States has stood as long as it has, because if a ruler as incompetent and malicious as George Walker "Dubya" Bush had ruled for more than eight years, the nation surely would tear itself apart. Even so, it may very well do that regardless seeing as how badly handled democracy is these days in the Eagle Empire. - 5 years ago

Great post, and great words. Biden hit the nail on the head and gave it the impassioned reaction it deserved. Bullshit indeed, and well elaborated on.

if Bush DIDN'T do a damn thing after 9/11 he would have been impeached - what do you honestly think Obama would have done in the same situation ? allow me to venture a guess - Obama would have resigned .
i'm no fan of Bush , but it strikes me as all too easy to hate the guy when he did exactly what the US public demanded of him - he COULDN'T have done any different - sorry- and if he "lied" , then blame a f--ng idiotic US public for eating it up .

Biden, what a waste of oxygen. He compared American soldiers to Nazis several years ago. My son would still like to have a face to face with Joey over that one.
Bushs statement did not mention any names. He didn't accuse Hussein or Hillary of anything. Whatever Biden, Hussein, Pelosi and the rest wish to infer is up to them. Now in this case perhaps the words struck pretty close to the mark. It WAS appeasement that assisted Hitler, regardless of what Biden says. How is the truth bs?

@ currnetkid// Yeah, how nice of Bush to get us involved in this quagmire in Iraq only to remain shiftless and pass the escalating problem off to the next president. Thinking about how this country elected the idiot twice really gets me concerned about the sanity of certain Americans. I guess the silver lining is at least he'll be gone in January. How sweet it would be if he were put on trial for war crimes and treason?
