Or so says Hillary. But the rebuke is something that should be paid attention to:
"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said. "In the early 1900s, the world ignored the words of Lenin, as he laid out his plans to launch a Communist revolution in Russia — and the world paid a terrible price.
“In the 1920s, the world ignored the words of Hitler, as he explained his intention to build an Aryan super-state in Germany, take revenge on Europe, and eradicate the Jews — and the world paid a terrible price," Bush continued. "Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them. And the question is: Will we listen?"
Doesn't sound like he's playing politics to me. It just sounds like it's telling everyone to wake up to the threats we face as a nation. But the next sentence is where the President sticks a knife into Democrats and twists it:
"When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground," Bush said, "and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters."
And he's exactly right. Democrats are so wrapped around the fingers of various interests groups, something they deride Republicans for, that they aren't necessarily interested in doing what's right for America. If Democrats did spend more time paying attention to what's going on around the world and doing something about it, Iran wouldn't be as far as they are in their nuclear program, Iraq would be better off, and Osama would have been captured or killed before 9/11 even happened.
