Good news, H*tler is dead.

Wouldn't that be nice if it was true.

Bush promised to fight Hitler


Hitlers, Hitlers and more Hitlers


Whoever is next on the War List is always The New Hitler and the country they lead is always The New Nazi Germany. Anyone who wants the new war is the brave and glorious Churchill. Everyone who opposes the new war is the cowardly appeaser Chamberlain, willing to allow Hitler to Take Over the World and impose Caliphate and burquas and humiliation on everyone. That's the level of advice which both George Bush, the current President, and Rudy Giuliani, the leading GOP presidential candidate, have chosen to receive and -- by all appearances -- follow.

bullshit. if anyone is a new Hitler it is Bush. not that he is, but IF one insists upon such comparisons, we know where the friggin' fascism lies . . . .

I been thinking Bush is the new Commodus

H*tler: too bad he did not get into art school.

I saw that show with Norman Podhoretz and Fareed Zakaria. It was amazing how many times Podhoretz mentioned H*tler.
Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, were children of Holocaust survivors. I will have to fact check that because I don't trust my memory as much as I used to. But I am pretty sure it is true. That is the legacy of H*tler how he still haunts the 21st century. Not sure about Podhoretz.

Here is what I found when I googled
children of holocaust and neocons

But the Nazi Holocaust also lies at the core of the neo-conservative worldview that has animated and given coherence to much of the Bush administration's post-9/11 foreign policy that itself is changing the world, albeit not necessarily in ways that either Annan or the international human rights movement would approve.

"For those of us who are involved in foreign and defense policy today, my generation, the defining moment of our history was certainly the Holocaust," former Defense Policy Board (DPB) chairman Richard Perle, a central figure in the U.S. neo-conservative network, told BBC as U.S. forces drove toward Iraq two years ago.

To Perle, who like many neo-conservatives is Jewish (although most U.S. Jews are not neo-conservatives), the Holocaust is irrefutable proof of the existence of "evil" -- a word that recurs frequently in their discourse. World events are viewed as a perpetual battle between, as one of their heroes Reinhold Niebuhr called it, "the children of light" and the "children of darkness".

Hawking War Guilt

it wasn't the Rush Limbaughs and Ann Coulters who stampeded the chattering classes and liberal audiences toward our still-unfolding disaster. It was the "best" thinkers, writing in the New York Times Book Review and The New Republic, who cued the orchestra of high-minded opinion to play a medley of half-truths and hosannas in support of the war.

The Iraq War would be different, its enthusiasts insisted, invoking the cautionary specter of Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler in 1938 but never the equally ill-fated liberal war fevers of 1914. By the time Paul Bremer had to be spirited secretly out of the Green Zone, no antiwar movement or Congress had forced the United States to "fight with one hand tied behind our back," as Vietnam warriors had charged. No Jane Fonda had visited a Middle Eastern Hanoi to aid and comfort the enemy. The Iraq War's masterminds and cheerleaders had done all that themselves. (Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, for example, claimed the war's aftermath would require only 75,000 US troops and $16 billion a year, and he accused dissenters of harming the democracy crusade, even after Abu Ghraib guards, not war critics, had demoralized the effort.)

I don't think much about H*tler anymore, it is just they keep throwing it at me. The left wingers too. I don't even want to say his name.

Well said. Jim
Where is Judith Miller when we need her?
Speaking of best thinkers was it Cheney who said we should invade Iraq because there are no good targets in Afghanistan?

Cheney and Rumsfeld not haunted by the Holocaust I am sure. I wonder what their motivation was. Lust for power? Greed? Or are they just evil? Or just human? Nietzsche claimed the will to power is our most basic instinct. I always thought it was sucking.

Speaking of the press.
Were we speaking about the media kind of?
I hope this relates:
I been reading Against All Enemies.

I liked this bit about Lynne Cheney.
This takes place in the Presidential Emergency Operations. Shortly after the Second plan hit.

"On one screen I could see the Situation room. I grabbed Mike Fenzel, "How's it going over here? I asked.
It's fine," Major Fensel whispered, "but I can't hear the crisis conference because Mrs. Cheney keeps turning down the volume on you so she can hear CNN..."

I am keeping the faith
better a Wiemar Republic than what replaced it.


I been thinking about hester's post about the faux news conference of FEMA. It seemed real enough to me.

How many puff pieces have I seen on network TV. One on Lynne Cheney almost made me puke.

I would like to get a subscription to The Nation.

I would like to check out Foreign Policy too. I can't read the whole article below because you have to be a subscriber.

Foreign Policy

The War We Deserve
By Alasdair Roberts
November/December 2007

One more thing
The story in vietnam was that the civilians were tying the hands of the military.

In a way I suppose you could say that about Iraq too. Plenty of the generals were trying to warn those cracker heads. When Shinseki was saying three hundred thousand troops Rumsfeld pretty much ran him out of the pentagon. When Gen. Garner was warning Bremmer about not disbanding the Iraqi army because it would put fifty thousand insurgents on the streets over night they just cut Garner out of the loop.

I think General Zinni was on the same page too as Shinseki.

They wound up with the generals that would go along to get along. I don't know nothing about the military, that may always be the way it goes.



sorry jim I think I have got off topic.
Maybe Gravel not so off about the corporate ownership of the media, considering what the FCC is up to these days.

Remember the equal air time rule?
