"President Bush also took aim at recent comments by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who unleashed a wave of criticism this week when he described the Holocaust as a 'myth' after previously calling for Israel to be 'wiped off the map' or moved to Germany or Austria.

"Iran's got a president that, that, you know, second-guessed the Holocaust and has announced ... the sort of destruction of Israel," said Bush. 'He's an odd guy."

:wtf:

Just when I think I know exactly how embarassingly inarticulate and tactless Bush is, he goes and sets the bar one notch lower. Iran's president is an "odd guy" who "you know, second guessed the Holocaust" and called for the "sort of destruction" of Israel?

I am so ashamed for our nation.

Please contrast this with the statements of Democrats such as John Kerry, who condemned Ahmadinejad's hate in clear, forceful language and managed to refrain from adding "oh, Mahmoud, you silly goose!"

2. Actually, I'm impressed that he didn't call him a "folk"

3. Pot, Kettle,

Black..

He doesn't condemn him because he likely tends to agree with him...Bush is incapable of having any emotional connect to death. It's a spectator sport.

6. "Second-guessed"?

He can't even bring himself to say "denied" - why do we think that is?

He's being revisionist about Ahmadinejad's revisionism... :crazy:

with nazi sympathies and access to nuclear weapons....hmmm, sounds familiar...
