Bush the Bomber (title blatantly stolen, sorry Space Cowboy)

From the raw story via Shakesville:
Bush: US should have bombed Auschwitz

President Bush had tears in his eyes during an hour-long tour of Israel's Holocaust memorial Friday and told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the U.S. should have bombed Auschwitz to halt the killing, the memorial's chairman said.

(...)

At one point, Bush viewed aerial photos of the Auschwitz camp taken during the war by U.S. forces and called Rice over to discuss why the American government had decided against bombing the site, Shalev said.

(...)

Between 1.1 million and 1.5 million people were killed at the camp.

"We should have bombed it," Bush said, according to Shalev.

"I was most impressed that people in the face of horror and evil would not forsake their God. In the face of unspeakable crimes against humanity, brave souls — young and old — stood strong for what they believe," Bush said.
I really don't have words. I just don't. All I can say is that I remind all present that I never voted for this idiot.

And this isn't even getting into the illogical ideas they discussed.
