George Bush, Philadelphia, Dec. 12, 2005

You might even have heard of another Kennedy, who was on his way to his party’s nomination when he was assasinated….Robert Kennedy…..also the older brother of little Ted Kennedy.

Ted even ran for President….but he didn’t make it to far, quit before the first primary.

AB CD’s history is a lot like the work of the “artist” christo. Its all bullshit, but you have to admire the balls of anyone who gets so much so wrong so often.

For those of you who don’t know who christo is, he became famous for painting all the rocks on a small Mediterranean island pink.

Get your history straight. Clinton did not have any troops stationed in Iraq. The terms of the cease fire after the Gulf War included the sanctions and no fly zones. The only Americans in Iraq during this time were members of the UN Atomic Energy Commission and Chemical and Biological Warfare Investigators. As part of the “No-Fly Zone”, Iraq was not allowed to use radar. Whenever they turned on their radar, the Americans and British would bomb the radar installation.

If Clinton was in power, we wouldn’t have gone into Iraq.

Hitler was fairly elected, Bush got appointed by the Supreme Court.

War is good, so eternal war.

Militarizing the state.

Emotion over reason.

Action over talk.

Supreme leader, embodying the state.

Scapegoating. (This is not a belief but the crucial technique.)

Another technique that is difficult to describe succinctly is covert actions by others so that the supreme leader never has to look bad yet are obviously approved by him and work to his favour. The Swift Boat Vets etc.

Bush isn’t a Hitler, more of a Mussolini.

When you hear Republicans say they want less government, this is what they are talking about. Not anything else. Because someone in charge trying to make decisions just gets in the way of corporations.

I think you are reading too much into it, but that’s your prerogative.

Then why was Clinton bombing? Why did he have troops in Iraq? Why was he maintaining no-fly zones? Why was he keeping sanctions? Why didn’t he get out of Iraq? Why did he occupy it for 8 years(now 16 total)?

I agree with you that in no way is Bush like Hitler.

Hitler was somewhat efficient and actually saw combat. Bush chased tail in Houston and did coke and booze. Hitler was also a great speech maker, where as Bush makes James Brown look totally articulate.

Now if you’re saying that Saddam was like Hitler then you obviously go to school on the small bus.

1) Germany’s population in 1935 was ~88million, Iraq like 5 or 6 million.
2) Germany’s industrial plant was in excess of all other countries in Europe with the exception of Russia. Iraq? No industry to speak of.
3) Germany was behind Hitler (at least in the beginning) to a man. Most of Iraq’s population (Shiite) hated Saddam and were looking for a way to whack the guy.

Besides even neocons now admit that there were more pressing threats from N Korea and Iran.

I have to observe that given your “facts” and that you spell Saddam, Saddaam; you must be an avid FOX news watcher and have a Bill O’Reilly blowup doll.

If Clinton was in power when we went into Iraq it would turn into WW3. If you look back during WW2 everybody was saying the samethings they were about Hitler as they were about Saddaam. “He is not a threat to us right now. If we just leave him alone, he won’t bother us.”

Thank God we had someone in office that decided to do something in offence rather than in defense.
