The irony of it all is that despite the smear talk of Hitlers in the Middle East, the leader whose thinking process most resembles Hitler's is our own president. Like Hitler, Bush's ideological beliefs have blinded him to reality, and like Hitler, he seems impervious to advice that conflicts with his beliefs. There the resemblance ends, of course, but it is bad enough. Hitler learned that he couldn't win a two-front war, and Bush will learn that he can't democratize the Middle East with bombs and bullets.

Bush May Bomb Iran For Israel

George W. Bush BELIEVES THAT BAD IS GOOD.
The N.I.E. report just informed us that the IRAQ WAR IS BAD.
George W. Bush and his propagandistic marionettes are spinning the N.I.E. report so that it fits his and their deceitful and delusional agenda.
In the Twilight Zone and Land of Oz administration of George W. Bush
WAR is BAD and BAD is GOOD.
(Where are you tonight George Orwell?)
Before they escape and scurry off into the sunset to plan for their November election, the U.S. Senate passed a new and improved anti-torture and detainee law.
This law will permit the Decider, if he chooses, to put American citizens into prison when he decides that they (you and I!) are illegal enemy combatants:
“A dangerously broad definition of “illegal enemy combatant” in the bill could subject legal residents of the United States, as well as foreign citizens living in their own countries, to summary arrest and indefinite detention with no hope of appeal. The president could give the power to apply this label to anyone he wanted.”

“Until Congress passes this legislation, terrorists ... cannot be tried for war crimes in the United States and the United States risks fighting a blind war without adequate intelligence,"
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.
But five years have passed!
Why haven’t these terrorists already been tried? (They certainly have hung and dried for some time.)
The new law will exonerate the Decider and his cabal from any future unpleasant criminal charges.
It’s a Cover-Their-Ass-Stay-Out-Of-Jail-Pass-Law.
IT IS EASIER AND EASIER for the Long War President TO BE A DICTATOR.
Thank you very much U.S. House and Senate
Scoundrels!
POSTCRIPT:
In a January 2002 memorandum to George W. Bush, Attorney General of the United States Alberto Gonzales emphasized that this new war on terror "renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions."
The military has lived with the Geneva Conventions provisions for 50 years and applied them to every conflict, even against irregular forces. Why are we suddenly afraid now about the vagueness of its terms?
