Bush calls war deniers dangerous
Press TV | November 2, 2007
President Bush has criticized the Congress for what he called stalling important pieces of the fight to prevent terrorist attacks.
"Unfortunately, on too many issues, some in Congress are behaving as if America is not at war," Bush said during a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Bush compared Congress' Democratic leaders Thursday to people who ignored the rise of Lenin and Hitler early in the last century.
He accused Congress of dragging out and possibly jeopardizing confirmation of Micheal Mukasey as attorney general, stopping a bill governing eavesdropping.
"This is no time for Congress to weaken the Department of Justice by denying it a strong and effective leader. ... It's no time for Congress to weaken our ability to intercept information from terrorists about potential attacks on the US. And this is no time for Congress to hold back vital funding for our troops."
However, the British daily Guardian says it has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm, which was run by George Bush's grandfather, was involved in the financial architects of Nazism.
Senator Prescott Bush's business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave laborers at Auschwitz.
