Iraq insurgents are Nazis: Rumsfeld
From correspondents in Washington

From: Agence France-Presse

US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned overnight that violence in Iraq could worsen, comparing insurgents to desperate Nazi SS officers and Japanese kamikaze pilots at the end of World War II.

Insurgents were desperate to stop political progress in Iraq, Rumsfeld said, following one of the bloodiest weeks for US forces since the US-led invasion in 2003.
"I think it's reasonable to expect that violence could, again, increase for a time, as it did during the last elections," Rumsfeld said, looking ahead to a referendum on a new constitution in October and elections in December.

"As allied forces (pushed) forward in both the European and Pacific theatres in World War II, the enemy's tactics, such as the cult of death among SS forces and the kamikazes in the Pacific, led to some of the bloodiest fighting of that war," Rumsfeld said.

1. Is he admitting they are black ops working for him? He is slipping.

Not supposed to admit that rummy.

2. hehehe. lol nt

3. Spin spin spin

The occupants of the White House are the Nazis.

Rumsfeld is the Propoganda Minister.

Fuck them all. Soon everyone will see through thier bullshit.

4. This message was approved by the ADL.

See Senator Durbin - it isn't what you say but who you are that counts.
Besides we don't need an apology from Rumsfeld - he has 'sorry' written all over him.

"Cult of Death" - they sound like your kinda guys Don.

6. This is laughable propaganda...

The Resistance is not going to lose any time soon.

12. I listened to most of Rummy today--he was frustrated with all the question

s about who was winning --the coalition or the insurgency.



Rumsfeld cautioned that observers should not "draw the wrong conclusion" over any spike in violence.

"As long as the Iraqi people persevere, the terrorists cannot win," he said.

Senior Bush administration officials have repeatedly argued that the insurgency in Iraq is losing ground as political developments progress.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in an interview released on Sunday that the insurgency in Iraq was "losing steam".

"It's a lot easier to see the violence and suicide bombing than to see the rather quiet political progress that's going on in parallel," she said.

Vice President Dick Cheney sparked controversy in June when he said the insurgency was in its ...."last throes".

7. do you get the feeling that rummy is getting a bit daft

in the head? he`s reliving ww2 to make a point that only the people his age can connect with. i`m 58 years old and my connection is that i was raised right after this war.i have no personal connection to that time.
so who is he talking to?

[O.M.B.inOhio]

8. There they go again! Ascribe their own evils to their enemies! Every time!

[jzodda]

9. More fast food for the uninformed masses

first off suicide bomings are not desperate, its now standard business in that part of the world

next this sounds like the standard pentagon BS mesage that they have used since Vietnam. When casualties go up say its because we are winning and they are desperate! I would like to say Americans are too smart to buy into that, but I know better :D

[Stirk]

10. Another faulty WWII analogy. Remember his talk of the Werewolves

in post-war Nazi Germany? If I recall correctly, they never killed a single US soldier, and barely managed to blow a couple of rail lines.

[Stirk]

11. By the way- where are all the people who always say making Nazi

comparisons is disrespectful to the actual victims?

Only works one way, I suppose.

[neweurope]

13. Yesyes, they've been in their last throes for quite a while and will

be for quite a while... Last throes of Nazis and Sand Niggers always take a bit longer.

Bush to The Hague!

14. Third Reich analogies are lame

"He's a nazi", "she's a nazi", "they are nazis", "...just like the holocaust".

People who dish such labels out without thinking ought to read some European history from the 1930s and 1940s. Then they'll understand what a nazi really is.
