Bush visits Israel's Holocaust® memorial
Associated Press Friday, 11 January 2008

JERUSALEM — President George W. Bush emerged from a tour
of Israel's official Holocaust® memorial Friday calling it a
"sobering reminder" that evil must be resisted and praising
victims for not losing their faith.

The Yad Vashem memorial was closed to the public and under
heavy guard Friday, with armed soldiers standing on top of
some of the site's monuments and a police helicopter and
surveillance blimp hovering in the air overhead.

With his beanie in place, George Bush joins Elders
of Zion in a death rite for the mythical Six Million*.

Wearing a yarmulke, Bush placed a red-white-and-blue wreath
on a stone slab that covers ashes of Holocaust® victims taken
from six extermination camps. He also lit a torch memorializing
the victims.

"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 wish as many people as possible would come to this place.
It is a sobering reminder that evil exists, and a call that when
evil exists we must resist it," he said.

Obligatory stop for foreign dignitaries

It was Bush's second visit to the Holocaust® memorial,
a regular stop on the visits of foreign dignitaries. His first was
in 1998, as governor of Texas. The last US president to visit
was Bill Clinton in 1994.

Bush was accompanied on his tour by a small party that included
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Israeli Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert.

At the compound, overlooking a forest on Jerusalem's outskirts,
Bush visited a memorial to the 1.5 million [sic] Jewish children
killed in the Holocaust®, featuring six candles reflected 1.5
million times in a hall of mirrors. At the site's Hall of Remembrance,
he heard a cantor sing a Jewish prayer for the dead.

Bush was visibly moved during his hour-long tour of the site,
said Yad Vashem's chairman, Avner Shalev.

"Twice, I saw tears well up in his eyes," Shalev said.

Would have bombed Auschwitz—and its inhabitants!

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

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

In the memorial's visitors' book, the president wrote simply,
"God bless Israel, George Bush."

Later Friday, Bush was to wrap up his three-day visit to Israel and
the Palestinian territories with a visit to Christian holy sites in Galilee
before departing for Kuwait, the next stop on his Mideast tour.

*Thousands — NOT millions — did die during an outbreak of typhus
at the huge industrial facility in 1943, some of whom where Jews
as well as non-Jews, including camp personnel. Other deaths were
the result of natural causes ant the lack of food and medicine
caused by Allied bombing of supply lines. For more information on
