It is the ultimate Monday Morning QB for Bush to criticize FDR re Yalta.

First of all, Bush doesn't understand enough history to have a high schooler's grasp of the geopolitical situation that existed in Europe at the end of WWII. The Red Army was sitting in eastern Europe and the U.S. still had a war to finish in the Pacific. Besides, the domination of eastern Europe by the Soviets was not predictable and there is simply no comparison to the appeasement of Hitler, despite all of Shrub's talk about Munich. Whether Bush likes it or not, the Soviets were our ally in WWII and we could not have won the war in Europe without them, at least not for another four or five years and maybe not then. Without the Soviets tying down the Germans in the east, Hitler most certainly would have successfully invaded and occupied England and the U.S. would have been denied a staging area for the Normandy invasion. We would have had to fight our way up from Italy and hopefully forced a negotiated settlement with the Germans that would have had them withdraw from England. Nazism would have survived and dominated Germany, France, and England, as well as most of eastern Europe. So it is indeed idle talk on the part of Bush. He really doesn't know what he is talking about.

supposedly "represents" you on the world stage is an uneducated idiot. And for him to have the balls to criticize FDR....he can bite my ass.

I keep a copy of a quote from a speech FDR gave addressing Congress regarding the Yalta Conference on my desk and it's also my signature line. Obviously it's too much to ask for for Dumbya to read it - we all know he doesn't read.

Asshat.
