Hitler took a starving 3rd world country and in the shortest ever recorded period turned it into a 1st world super power. Bush has done what? Hitler took from those who had the money to build this power and sadly like a dick rounded them up and systimatically attempted to wipe them all out. I guess the dead cant report a crime. As worldly issues go his only faults where #1 the acts of sick and unthinkable things done to the jews and that he took on the russians at a time when it was already secured that the russians would not get involved. Had he left the russians for later the war would never hae turned out as it did and he could have had russia later with ease. He just spread himself a bit too thin. If the US had not stepped in England would have fallen like a rock in a very short period of time. If Japan had not turned away at Pearl and instead had continued toward the US coast afterwards we would have been having to look at a possible change in outcomes too! Amazing how a little things can change big things. A simple mistake can change it all.
Homeland security is a far cry from what the Nazi party had going on Maybe. Maybe not. Since there's no oversight or control mechanisms in place, and it's all being done in secret, we really don't know. And the torture of prisoners is still entirely legal. Remember also that even the FBI's hardened interrogation specialists were horrified by what the Bushmen were doing in secret. And now we find that even at the not-so-secret Guantanamo torture camp, they haven't even kept organized lists or rosters of the prisoners- who knows how many were... "lost" during "processing." When the Pentagon was ordered by a court of law to release a list, they couldn't come up with one, and wound up thumbing their nose at the court by releasing 5,000 pages of documents with a glib "nyah- see, we don't track them." Dogs in animal shelters get better treatment in most places. Or maybe not- who's checking? That son of a bitch will NEVER be my president.
As bad as Nazism and the 20th century were, I am extremely pessimistic about the upcomming short while. I get the feeling that Hitlers evil is begging to be topped, and the Neocons are just the people to answer that challenge.
Thousands of journalists.. and the red cross An Afghan called Faiz said he was being abused at Guantanamo not by Americans but by the Taliban. "Taliban, they killed my uncle, they killed my son, they killed my sister's husband… Even in here… they [Taliban members] beat me, spit at me and throw urine at me." Probably the most surprising testimony came from Abdul Hakim Bukhary, a Saudi who admitted meeting bin Laden while on jihad during the Afghan war against Russia. "Prisoners here are in paradise," he declared. "American people are very good. Really. They give us three meals. Fruit juice and everything." But on balance, he concluded, he would prefer to return home to his family. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/03/05/wguan05.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/03/05/ixworld.html Not that i think the place should stay open.. it is a PR disaster.. However good or bad the place is, it is a twlighlight zone.. The negative 'propoganda' has won out..
god matthew you're starting to make Guantanamo sound like "the four seasons" unfortunately "the telegraph" like "the times" lost its credibility many moons ago.
Why do you think that..? did thay start printing stuff you disagreed with .. mmmm most papers do that i suppose.. i know i turned away from the Gaurdian.. though i still buy it along with a few other papers now and again.. Shucks they still do articles like this A United Nations inquiry has called for the immediate closure of America's Guantanamo Bay detention centre and the prosecution of officers and politicians "up to the highest level" who are accused of torturing detainees. The UN Human Rights Commission report, due to be published this week, concludes that Washington should put the 520 detainees on trial or release them. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/02/13/wguan13.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/02/13/ixnewstop.html No not really.. i have just posted a detainees POV.. Sorry it does not say ''I was hung upside down by my balls'' I appreciate they may not print stuff you agree with.. Heck i NEVER read the Telegraph..or the Times for that matter... just trying to add a bit of balance..
yes Hitler was for the germans people "or any one who look germanic" Bush is for the oil company only.
No insult intended germany was not a third world country it was run down after loosing WW1 then they got fed up and stp paying the french and british for war damage . but germany was a modern industrial nation "it allways was" and precision the german trade mark goes way back before even ww1 broke out . even the americans had to pay the germans patent royalty for the springfield rifle since all it was a German Mauser K-98 made a little difrent . i could go on with the Diesel ENGINE and a bunch of other stuff .
Nice comparison to a parallel !!! Hitler for the German people/Look Germanic[aryan]. Bush/Oil Wonderful... The Law for the Protection of the Hereditary Health of the German People – October 1935 To allow the state to perform compulsory abortions on women (up to 6 months of pregnancy) who they decided might inherit “defects”. I doubt that law will ever be used as a comparison http://www.thinkequal.com/page.cfm/Link=154/t=m
So did anyone do a Google or Yahoo search on Prescott Bush with the terms 1942 or UBC? I'll tell ya what you'll find. Prescott Bush laundered large amounts of money for the Nazi's and continued to do so after America entered WWII. Prescott Bush was a TRAITOR!!!! How far does the apple fall from the tree? GW and his father accepted their inheritance despite their knowledge of its origin. GW claims to be a Christian but my Bible says that true Christians DO NOT accept blood money.
Yeah i did... i got straight away a deffinite link..but i guess thats what people wish to imply [so those links are pretty popular] .. but the further back through the pages i got The documents do not show any evidence Bush directly aided that effort. His position with Union Banking never was a political issue for Bush, who was elected to the Senate from Connecticut in 1952. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,100474,00.html Another article i read was.. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/rosebud/Bush%20Fortune.htm The rest were a bit hysterical nonesense imho.
there are no absolute equavilances anywhere in anything, only practical equivalences in narrow and specific contexts. so no, bush doesn't EXACTLY equal hitler, BUT, the intrests that gave us bush, share the priorities and motivations of every 'hittler' there ever was. =^^= .../\...
Well I don't see Bush loading us up on trains headed to concentration camps or letting soilders rap and kill our own people out on the street (although as the soilders in Iraq say what happens in the desert stays in the desert!) so yes he could be compared to Hitler but only if your in Irqa! Ahh what great links Bush goes to to impress dear old daddy!
I don't think daddy has been impressed. Legend has it that Daddy Bush and Chimpy are no longer even on speaking terms, and Chimpy even hung up on his daddy once when daddy tried talking sense into him. The legend goes on to claim that Daddy Bush and BillyJeff Clinton are so close that they're like brothers.
