		<description>&lt;em&gt;With apologies to Rich: Let me try my hand at this.&lt;/em&gt;

In a speech today presidential candidate Barack Obama maintained his steadfast disapproval of the D-Day landings of June 6th, 1944.
&#160;

&quot;Even knowing what we know today, I would never commit to Operation Overlord,&quot; the Senator explained to a gathering of respected journalists. &quot;It should have been obvious from the debacles at Kasserine Pass and the Anzio landings, not to mention the unending quagmire of the Italian campaign as a whole, that simply putting more troops into the European theater was never going to bring the violence to an end.&quot;

&#160;
Senator Obama pointed out that no WMDs&#160;have ever&#160;been located anywhere in the civil war-torn continent. &quot;And what does the current Administration hold up as evidence to justify their&#160;dangerous, ill-conceived&#160;rush to war? A handful of unreliable V-2 missiles&#160;that are just as likely to fall on German cities as their intended targets. Does the capture of a few rusty rockets that threatened no one&#160;worth the price&#160;of 50,00 American lives?&quot;

&#160;
Senator Obama went on to say, &quot;This was a European civil war, and our unwanted invasion only made things worse.&#160; As a result of this disaster, which is unparalled&#160;in American history,&#160;we have&#160;strengthened enemies and&#160;lost the respected of trusted friends like Vichy France.&quot;
&#160;

&quot;America was once a beacon of hope and change,&quot; the Democratic presidential hopeful added. &quot;But because we&#160;illegally invaded&#160;countries that had nothing to do with 12/7 we have dramatically weakened the United States.&#160;We&#160;are now&#160;at greater risk of attack than we were before Pearl Harbor.&quot;
&#160;

When questioned about reports of a &quot;Holocaust&quot; that allegedly occurred in Europe under the Hitler government, Obama echoed the sentiments of&#160;a majority of&#160;experts who are skeptical that such an event could have ever taken place. &quot;Why should we believe anything that the Roosevelt Administration tells us anymore?&quot; he said. &quot;The only &#039;Holocaust&#039; that we know actually happened&#160;is the one where&#160;millions of Europeans died&#160;because of an&#160;illegal invasion launched by Roosevelt himself. The stain of the blood of all of those millions of dead will never leave&#160;our hands. Europeans would be far better off today if we had learned the lessons of history the first time around.&quot;&#160;</description>

		<description>The comparison might have worked, had we still been in Europe 5 years after the initial invasion.</description>

		<description>I meant to add that the Belgian and Dutch people, according to Obama, loudly decried the American intervention.&#160; &quot;Stop it!&quot; they protested, &quot;You&#039;re only gonna make the Germans mad!&quot;</description>

		<description>Subtitled, &#039;Horton Hears a Foo&#039;.&#039;The victory in Europe was due mainly to&#160; political advances as well as various French and German sects turning against al Hitler. (Who wasn&#039;t in Europe in the first place.) The Allied blood, bombs, and bullets played only a minor role.Neville Chamberlain was correct after all. There was peace in our time. Too bad he didn&#039;t get to see it and revel in his great foresight as he died in 1940.</description>
