Bush gives the Monday Morning Quarterback routine on Yalta

I appreciate that Bush does not know anything about history, heaven forbid the guy would ever read, but today when Bush ripped FDR for giving up Eastern Europe at Yalta, he somehow overlooked the realities of 1945. Unless the US, UK, France and Western Allies wanted to launch an offensive against the Red Army, getting Stalin to pull back was virtually impossible. The Red Army blanketed Eastern Europe even prior to Yalta and the war was not yet finished. There was limited talk by the likes of Patton and others who wanted to continue the war and defeat Stalin together with the remains of the German military but after so many years of fighting and tens of millions of dead in Europe, nobody in power wanted any more war.

There are plenty of FDR haters in the GOP with the Bush family being part of that group, but they're all re-writing history just for the sake of bashing FDR when they make outrageous claims such as Bush did today. Bush can only dream of being such an important historical figure as FDR and the entire Bush clan together couldn't hold a candle to what FDR did for the US.
