Saddam Hussein

[Leighton]

"My first choice is not to commit our troops to regime change.
I hope that Saddam Hussein does what he said he would do, and
that is disarm. For the sake of peace, he must disarm."
(Fuhrer Bush Speaking on Czech TV, November 19, 2002)

3000 US troops are now dead. And Bush marked the milestone by being on holiday.

It would have been difficult to disarm when he didn't have WMDs.
Sadam's mistake was to keep the weapons inspectors out which led the world to believe he had something to hide.

Referring to him as "Fuhrer" Bush is a vile allegory that doesn't hold any water or gain any credibility with serious people.

What would it matter what he was called? You're missing the point.

Your point was great, Leighton. Shame you squandered it slightly by calling him a fuhrer, considering that's a rough, offending statement.

[Leighton]

To who, exactly? Fuhrer means leader of the military persuasion in German. Is it offensive to Bush or Germans?



If Bush didn't want the obvious connotation or comparison with the corrupted use of the word, then I guess he could've avoided it himself. 655000 dead Iraqis probably wouldn't be offended by the title.

Any sensible person is offended by that type of statement. If you don't like Bush, fine, but likening him to Adolf Hitler? Get serious.

I know what it means. But when you talk about Bush being a fuhrer, atleast I did associate that "fuhrer" to Hitler. Now, Bush has done some bad moves, but Hitler was so much worse.

Hitler was a much better public speaker and way more influential over a desperate populace than Bush could ever wish to be.

Their foreign policies are well and truely on the same page though. If war was a cheap $$$ wise these days as it was back in the depression ridden 30s then you'd bet your arse Bush would be all over as many middle eastern countries as Hitler was in Europe and Africa.

If you're only going to compare numbers of dead, then I guess you're right. Not that 600000+ looks any good, but I look a bit further than that. Have a look at his personal vendetta against muslims and compare it to Jews in 'Mien Kampf'. The similarities are striking and obvious. Sadly it's not salient to compare the two because of the obvious number differences, but looking at it only a tiny bit deeper than the surface you can see a tonne of similarities. Even the people they surrounded themselves with a similar.

[OutlawTorn81]

That is quite possibly the most despicable post I have ever seen at this forum. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself for likening the two or even suggesting that there are "striking and obvious" similarities between the President of the United States and the world's most notorious dictator.
