On Saturday<\/a>, John Kerry compared Bashar al-Assad, the ruler of Syria to Hitler and Saddam Hussein (but I thought Hussein was a benevolent leader who deserves to still reign over Iraq according to the Democrats) because Assad used chemical weapons. Today, Kerry told House Democrats<\/a> that they are having a “Munich moment” in deciding whether to strike at and punish, Syria for their alleged use of chemical weapons.<\/p>\n

Kerry\u2019s derisive comments on Assad and his reference to the 1938 Munich agreement between Adolf Hitler and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain \u2014 after which Chamberlain infamously declared it would lead to \u201cpeace for our time\u201d \u2014 showed the hard line the White House is taking in its drive for congressional approval of the Syrian resolution. Top administration officials argue that a failure by the United States to respond to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime will only lead to more violence and instability in the region.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So much use of Nazi-related hyperbole. Especially since those same people railed against the Nazi hyperbole when used against Hussein’s regime. I think the Democrats’ Munich Moment came with the three Congressmen on the roof of Saddam Hussein’s palace claiming he was more trustworthy than the President, back in 2003. And if Assad is Hitler, why aren’t we trying to remove him power as a stated goal instead of just “punishing” him? We “punished” Hussein for 12 years and accomplished nothing.<\/p>\n

Or this could be a Munich Moment in 2009 when Kerry was lobbying for his current job;<\/p>\n

Another Munich Moment in 2007 when the Bush Administration was trying to isolate Assad and Pelosi was trying to engage Assad;<\/p>\n

Kerry also said that Israel, America\u2019s closest ally in the region, backed the need for a U.S. military response.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since when did what Israel wanted ever matter to this administration?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
