Hannity: Obama is "the Neville Chamberlain of our time"

GOP Participants in the most popular D.C. gameshow, Washington Squires

Media Matters has two videos of Sean Hannity suggesting that Obama is  "the Neville Chamberlain of our time."

First, Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement in 1938, which conceded the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany. Many historians consider Chamberlain a Nazi appeaser, because Hitler invaded Poland a year later.

This is an invalid comparison and the Fox News knows it. First, Obama has not signed an accord with either Iran or North Korea to appease it.

Second, a fact that conservatives frequently forget, is that Chamberlain was a conservative. 

Third, when Russia invaded Southern Ossetia and Abkhazia, after the US armed Georgia, Gerge W. George W. Bush wisely did little more than complain about it.

Iran threatens Israeli nuclear hegemony in the middle east. The Iranians have suggested that the middle east be fee of nuclear weapons, something Israel will never agree to.

Iran is not a threat to the US and Russia has been helping to defuse the situation in Iran.

North Korea is a troublesome nation, but its big brother, China, is trying to help the US with the situation. Kim Jong Il is gravely ill and it is not clear what will happen when his son takes over the helm.

One of the Wikileak documents suggested that two Koreas may be reunited. Until the son takes over, the US should "maintain low tones."

Sean Hannity is a sword rattler who has a flawed understanding of the Middle East, Korea and history. After the conservative debacle in Iraq, he would be smart to STFU!
