Columnist compares peace summit to ‘gang rape.’

Writing in the Washington Times this morning, conservative columnist Frank Gaffney compares the Middle East peace conference being held in Annapolis, MD today to “a gang-rape” because of the inclusion of Saudi Arabia and Syria in the talks. According to Gaffney, holding the conference is equivalent to appeasing Hitler in the 1930s:

Despite official efforts to low-ball its significance, Miss Rice’s conclave is shaping up to be a gang-rape of a nation on a scale not seen since Munich in 1938, when the British and French allowed Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini to have their violent way with Czechoslovakia.
