Roosevelt as saying, "I hope Marshal Stalin would again propose a toast to the execution of 50,000 officers of the German army."

This sounds like a democrat. Just like the 45 million aborted babies. Total democratic language.

The headline on this article is correct as it appears at Townhall. But there's something wrong with it. Bush didn't bury the shame of Yalta, he dug it up and exposed it to the light of day, the first American president ever to do so. Otherwise a good article.

Somehow this would be more satisfying if it came from a Democrat, considering its their Party that perpetrated this crap on Eastern Europe, and that still worships FDR.

"Thank you, President George W. Bush, for correcting history ..."

40 + years ago I read about the mistakes FDR made at the meetings with Churchill and Stalin.

His failing health was a big factor as I recall.

Even in those days the MSM was suppling the left with alibis.

Tragic is an understatement.

What a sickening statement.

FDR was filth.

Didn't Churchill walk out of the meeting when FDR said that? Joking or not?

I hope so. It would reinforce my admiration for the man. Ivan? tjw? Are you familiar with the incident?

"But truth finally overtakes lies and cover-ups."

President Bush gets the "Honorary Buckhead" award.

I think it happened over dinner and Churchill was bullsh*t over it.

At least he had the sense to realize that we had a stake in the outcome of WWII, against the raging anti-war protests of 85% of America at the time.

Not trying to defend the man - some of the stuff he did I totally disagree with. But at least he wasn't a truly modern, RDDB pacifist Dem.

His outlook seemed to be that the only stake we had in the outcome of the European theatre of the war was the success of Soviet Communism.

Only a dictator would toast the execution of the enemy's officer corps.

"...apology for one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's tragic mistakes."

NONSENSE!! It was no mistake! Frankie was simply following the instructions he got from Stalin! They may not have gone directly from Joe to FDR, they went from Stalin to all the commie agents in America, the State Department, the US government, Eleanor, Frankie's girl friend to FDR. The commies in Hollywood helped carry the message, as well. FDR was a pawn of the communists! It was no "mistake."

The Soviet Union was given three votes in the United Nations, while all other nations got only one.

huh? I didn't think there was a UN, then. Am I missing something?

There wasn't yet a UN. It was in the planning stages at that point.
