A Reagan Conservative compares Bush to Hitler!

Paul Craig Roberts, an economist who once served as President Reagan's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury compares President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler in a column at the libertarian website Anti-war.com...

"The reason the US has not been driven out of Iraq is that the majority Shi’ites have not been part of the insurgency. The Shi’ites are attacking the Sunnis, who are forced to fight a two-front war against US troops and Shi’ite militias and death squads.The US owes its presence in Iraq, just as the colonial powers always owed their presence in the Middle East, to the disunity of Arabs. Western domination of the Muslim world succeeded by not picking a fight with all of the disunited Arabs at the same time.

Attacking the Shi’ite militias while fighting a Sunni insurgency would violate this rule. If Bush ignores US military commanders and expert opinion and accepts the surge option advanced by the delusional neocon allies of Israel’s right-wing Likud Party, US troops will be engulfed in general insurgency. This is why General John Abizaid resigned on January 5. He wants no part of the Republican Party’s sacrifice of US soldiers to sectarian conflict."

Then he drops the H Bomb...

"Bush is like Hitler. He blames defeats on his military commanders, not on his own insane policy. Like Hitler, he protects himself from reality with delusion. In his last hours, Hitler was ordering non-existent German armies to drive the Russians from Berlin."

It is rather annoying when politicians compare other politicians to Hitler. It makes them sound so clueless.

He wasn't a politican.. he was a Reagan appointee.. an economist who was assistant secretary of treasury.. I think he is one of those conservatives who is upset about losing rights after the patriot act and all the secret spying stuff that we criticized Hitler for.. they're not clueless when they point out similarities others refuse to see because of the H word.. if it quacks like a duck and walls like a duck, you wouldn't sound clueless if you called it a duck.
