Another Telling Comparison Between Bush and Hitler

Billmon provides a link to this story from the Financial Times.

According to Chas Freeman, former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia and
head of the independent Middle East Policy Council, Mr Bush recently
asked Mr Powell for his view on the progress of the war. "We're losing,"
Mr Powell was quoted as saying. Mr Freeman said Mr Bush then asked the
secretary of state to leave.

I feel sorry for Mr. Powell. He's such a nice man, and he's just trying to be a good Secretary of State and tell the President the truth and his honest opinion.

We learned about George Washington today in school. When his dad asked him if he chopped down the cherry tree, he said "Father, I cannot tell a lie. I cut the tree. And they called Abraham Lincoln "Honest Abe," so even if he was gay, at least he wasn't a lying sack of horse sh*t like President Bush is.

I guess Mr. Bush, just like Hitler, doesn't like to hear people who think differently than him, or who have anything other than a rosy view on the chaos that his policies are causing.

Albert Speer, in charge of armament production, drew up a
memorandum to Hitler on January 20 — the twelfth anniversary of
Hitler's coming to power — pointing out the significance of the loss of
Silesia. 'The war is lost,' his report began, and he went on in his
cool and objective manner to explain why . . .

The Fuehrer, Guderian later related, glanced at Speer's report, read the
first sentence and then ordered it filed away in his safe. He refused to
see Speer alone, saying to Guderian: “He always has something unpleasant
to say to me. I can't bear that."
