Rumsfeld's Iraq-Germany analogy disputed - CNN.com

Former top officials disagree with comparison

Henry Kissinger, who served with U.S. forces in Germany at the end of World War II and who served as secretary of state under Republican Presidents Nixon and Ford, said the situations are not analogous.

"In Germany, the opposition was completely crushed; there was no significant resistance movement," the German-born diplomat told CNN's "Late Edition."

Zbigniew Brzezinski, who served as national security adviser under President Carter, a Democrat, was less charitable.

"That is really absolutely crazy to anyone who knows history," he said. "There was no alternative to our presence. The Germans were totally crushed. For Secretary Rumsfeld to be talking this way suggests either he doesn't know history or he's simply demagoguing."

1. and so much more. I saw this a few minutes ago and came to post

It was very well written I think. Is it me or is MSM all around starting to sway against the Rep. BS? Is it because the admin's polls are so low they think it is safe now?
