Editorial: The ghosts of Nazi appeasement
Bush, Rumsfeld resurrect old fears as elections approach.
Published: September 01, 2006

.............................

All Bush and Rumsfeld have accomplished is to incite a civil war that has killed tens of thousands of Iraqis and more than 2,600 brave U.S. troops. Will the job be done when Iraq is totally engulfed in war with itself?

Who, in this case, is "morally confused"? Who has forgotten the lessons of history? It was Rumsfeld's arrogance and hubris that, once the Iraq folly was hatched, insisted on a force far too small to secure the country's stability.

Rumsfeld's most outrageous comments, perhaps, came on Monday when he challenged an audience in Reno, Nev., to "feel each day as you did on Sept. 12, 2001."

We don't know whether to laugh or cry. No one has done more to destroy the tearful unity that Americans felt on that terrible day -- or to destroy the solidarity America enjoyed with the rest of the civilized world -- than Rumsfeld and his unfortunate boss, George W. Bush.

1. One simply cannot compare 61% of America to Nazi Appeasers...

and get away with it. One simply cannot call 80% of America who think the Iraq war WAS A MISTAKE, "morally confused."

Too many people in this nation are sick of this bullshit and if it doesn't stop, the Secretary will be run out of town by a mob armed with pitchforks and torches.

2. The person begging for the Neville Chamberlain "appeaser" mantle

is none other than Tony Blair. The world desperately needed him to stand in the way of US JudeoChristian-Fascism, and he failed to do so, telling himself and his closer ministers that he could moderate Bushler's aggression by going along with it and guiding Bush's violence to achieve peace in the middle east. It was a rationalization from start to finish and Blair is a coward or worse, a JudeoChristian Fascist himself.

3. There is nothing wrong with Don Rumsfeld

That a two-hour massage with a garden weasel wouldn't fix right up.
