We are in a very dangerous place in this country when people are so blinded by their politics they are willing to turn a blind eye to an obvious enemy (one who has stated their goals on numerous times in startling clarity), all in the name of getting "their team" elected.

Apparantly, there is something in the water in NY. Read below...

Those four airplanes full of people, those two 110-story buildings, those 3,000 people who died in a span of less than 120 minutes... Richard Pryor years ago had a term for something like this... he called it "a hint-and-a-half for your a**"

Further, Ed from Ellenville, New York wrote:

Bud, I'm with you. Let's leave religion out of this. The fight against Radical Islam has nothing to do with Religion. It has to do with fighting a Doomsday Death Cult, one that seeks to kill you and I because we don't bow to their Cult's god and beliefs.

If your views are indicative of the majority view in this nation, we as a free nation are finished. Skip the long lines and buy your burka and prayer rug now.

Well, at least I like their food, so maybe I'll have an easier transition when I'm forced to convert.

Bush's words are the rope his terms judgement will hang by. If there is a comparison to Hitler it is in the reflection of his own mirror. Kidnap, murder and torture are not American values, and Bush is not smarter than Congress. He forgets that it is his own invasion of Iraq, not congresses, that is our biggest problem today.

Ruth, N.D.

If Bin Laden is dead the American people need some proof of that. Because right now he is still alive if you've seen the videos and heard the tapes.

We have lost the focus of hunting this guy down and killing him like we were promised. We managed to kill Saddam and others but not the "big fish". I simply don't buy the excuse that Bin Laden is in the mountains somewhere. America's resources are better than that. Until this happens, we will continue to wonder ... what are we really doing?

Guys, beware! There are some Israelis over here posing as Americans. Do not heed to them. All Israelis and Israel -Firster Jews want is a world wide war with Muslims. They want to weaken all countries surrounding Israel so that Israel can remain the most powerful in MidEast. They made US attack, Afghanistan, Iraq now Iran, Syria, Egypt, Yemen,etc etc. So careful. These Jews do NOT lookout for US's good. They only case for their Eratz Israel.

Jay, Raleigh, NC:

There is seriously something wrong with your way of thinking. You sound like one of those brainwashed poppets in the Democratic la la land.

Bob Reading PA and Tom – Dedham, Mass: THANK YOU. Very compelling analysis.

Eric,Texas-It's you who simply doesn't understand. You think we should play the game. Why play? I think we should stop playing period. Is it smart to fight against a radicalized religious group by radicalizing our religious groups? It's siily to play. Let's just end it now. No religion in our politics. No respect for theirs. We shut up our nuts. We treat them like nuts until they do the same. We could have a new spectator sport like rollerball. Your nuts against ours. The entire concept of life after death,glorifying death as something to strive for is ludicrous. It lends itself to endless,pointless war. Kick it out of the political arena and turn it back into what it was designed for,entertainment. Our imaginary man in the sky against their imaginary man in the sky is still just lunacy. Let the looneys fight their own. Leave us out of it. Stop playing the game and just end it. Mandatory storage of radioactive waste in all religious sites would be helpful too. Ever put a geiger counter on that chinese steel? Do you think maybe that's why they can't make a wrench that doesn't break? Wake up and realize that playing along is just being played. Stop playing.

Eric..I don't agree with you at all. I don't think we are under a terrorist threat at all. We have all the American citizens being vigilant. Who do you think tells home security about suspicious activities? That's exactly right, we do. The Bush administration is constantly using scare tactics and they are discovering that they are no longer working. But, I am sure that Bush will dream up some other kind of scare for the American people.

If all you Hillary fans were in charge during World War II we would have lost.

"How the hell is "fighting them over there" going to keep terrorists from coming over here? How long do you really think it's going to be before they simply cross our wide open borders or ports and do another 9/11, or worse?"

It's real simple, bud. Terrorists want to become martyrs, that is, die for their cause. We, as Americans wish to help them in their cause of dying.

They want to die for their cause... we are willing to kill for ours. It's a wonderful symbiotic relationship.

See, by fighting them "over there," we're simply making it easier for them to meet their maker, as they can just flood into whatever country the American Military (ie "the infidels") is currently stationed... instead of bothering to try to come illegally into the US.

To look at it another way, we're like the McDonalds for Radical Muslims looking to become martyrs. Using that analogy, I guarantee you, if they manage to detonate a nuke on American soil, the McDonalds slogan of "millions served" will not just apply to hamburgers, but the millions of Muslims living in, around and near Mecca and Medina. Bank on it.

Hillary's response here is but one example of many shining examples of why Democrats simply aren't viable candidates in a Post-9/11 world: they just don't get it.

They honestly don't understand the threat posed by radical Muslims, and as such, they underestimate that threat, to all of our detriment.

Terrorists laid their cards on the table years ago, and their message couldn't have been clearer: "We will end the modern secular Western world, and bring about a new caliphate, worldwide, united under Islam."

In other words, convert or be killed.

They have spoken. Are we so daft as to think they're bluffing?

Bush was spot on point: Democrats Just Don't Get It.

What I find most amazing, is the fact that the people with the most to lose under a new Muslim conquest of the Western World, are women, liberals, gays and the decadant "Hollywood types," many of the very same people who are protesting the loudest against the people who are trying to protect their ungrateful hides.

You think it's tough living under the Bush rule, try living under Sharia Law. "Shut up! Put your burka back on and cover your ankles, lest I beat you with a stick or throw acid in your eyes."

It's the devil you know versus the devil you don't.

Why even listen to the thoroughly corrupt bought-and-paid-for MSM? Any candidate who has affiliations with corporate lobbyists or the CFR will bring us more of the same double-talk – no matter what their party affiliation is! The real contrast today is between the elites and ordinary Americans who believe in the rule of constitutional law. Want change? Vote Ron Paul!

Bush is the most immoral president we have ever had. The blood of almost 4,000 murdered American soldiers is on his hands. The Democrats are so pathetic to not do anything about it. the historians will rectify the situation.

Bush's stupidity knows no bounds and anyone that believes him is as stupid as he is!

What ever happened to avenging 9/11? The Taliban still control parts of Afghanistan. For example, the town of Musa Qala has been under their control for the last 9 months. Bin Laden is still free to poke fun at America whenever he wants and Afghanistan's record drug crop is making all the money terrorists need to plan and get ready for another attack on American soil.

Yet here's Bush and all our resources in Iraq! ...and here's the Republicans blindly cowering behind him.

How the hell is "fighting them over there" going to keep terrorists from coming over here? How long do you really think it's going to be before they simply cross our wide open borders or ports and do another 9/11, or worse?

A country that stands divided cannot stand. We need to put aside our personal agendas and beliefs and just look at the facts. Not the passed but think of the future and what awaits us. If you believe that you are safe from the threats that are surrounding our great nation and that nothing can bring us down. Then I fear for your ignorance. Maybe you should stop reading from crap.com and start opening a history book. But then again you might consider this website as your reliable source of international relations and political news, that right there would explain you lack of knowledge.

Forget all about Hillary wanting to give illegals drivers licenses. LOOK, OVER THERE!! Its politics of division...

Excellent response by the RNC spokesperson. No matter what else they say about him, no one has been as resolute as Pres. Bush when it comes to fighting terrorism, the most important job of the President.

“Tap away baby, I have nothing to hide, do you?”

Why do conservatives want to live in an authoritarian police state? Having something to hide has nothing to do with it.

It’s about the fact that court authorization is needed before a search. The U.S. has functioned just fine with this safeguard in place (with the exception of Nixon’s illegal wiretaps of his political opponents), and America has thrived for over 200 years.

“We have cameras everywhere and not just the gubment doing it”

You don’t understand the difference between monitoring a public place vs. monitoring a private conversation on a private phone line?

Move to Russia. Seriously.

WAKE UP YOU FOOLISH LIBERALS..

Let's simplify this for the Liberals who believe in the "goodness of mankind" :

Hitler said he would rid the world of Jews and conquer the world...he then proceeded to kill 6 million of them and conquered all of western Europe.

Lenin said he would bring communism ...eventually 100 million died.

Bin Laden and the Taliban (who want to force Islam and Sharia law on the world by force (convert or die)), said they will destroy Israel and the United States... They came to our biggest city and knocked down the two tallest buildings killing 3,000 plus just for starters. Do you think they are serious or just joking?

Can Bin Laden be compared to Hitler ... no not yet. Not until he kills at least 100,000 more. Just wait a year or two .. then the analogy should apply.

What will think when they detonate the Nuke in New York City or LA and kill 100,000 for act two? Will you be glad that you voted down the surveillance legislation?

Now why are Democrats so upset about listening in on every phone call to Pakistan, Iran, Syria, etc.???

Are they concerned that America is stepping on someone's rights?

I got news for you, if you are calling Iran or Syria, you automatically give up your rights. They are killing American soldiers even today. So let them listen to the phone calls. Let them screen the communications.

Afer all just think of the thousands of Liberals that will be saved when Bush foils a Nuke bomb plot as a result of eavesdropping?

Why are Dems so upset? Do you think that surveilance of your phone calls are next? WRONG! Who cares about your miserable little lives and stupid phone conversations.

Bush is trying to save lives. If you think there is anything else to it, you are wrong.

Call you congressman tell him to pass the Surveilance bill.

Windy from Cali, the Patriot act is not unconstitutional it was passed by a HUGE majority of politicians from BOTH SIDES of the fence.

Tap away baby, I have nothing to hide, do you? IF they used these wiretaps for anything other that the stated purpose, I WOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU YELLING LOUD AND CLEAR.

ILEGAL Wiretaps are a funny thing, considering the CLINTONS have used them over the years to hurt regular folks that you and I BOTH don't want hurt by wiretaps. Hmmm.

What illegal searches are you talking about, airports, train stations, stadiums? To save peoples lives, this bothers you? Are you serious, we have had screening in airports for years.

We have cameras everywhere and not just the gubment doing it, look up in any parking lot and you will see them, if they save one life or solve one kidnapping, YAY, YAY, YAY.

The individuals you are defending are not pulled off of the streets of Cali, they were pulled from the battlefield and trying to kill your fellow citizens and they don't receive the same rights that YOU STILL HAVE.

If you have some real issues with actual proof of wrong-doing, please come forward, be a patriot.

Anonymous- don't you know that the terrorist bogeyman can probably find you via your IP address? As far a "moslem" democracies, you don't know what you are talking about:
List of Muslim democracies
The following list indicates those countries which are members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference and are either generally considered to be democratic or have substantial democratic elements in their system of government. The percentage of Muslims in each country is sourced from CIA FactBook

Albania (Europe) (70% Muslim)
Algeria (North Africa) (99%)
Bangladesh (South Asia) (83%)
Comoros (South eastern Africa) (98%)
Indonesia (South-East Asia) (88%)
Iran (Middle-East) (98%)
Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia) (75%)
Lebanon (Middle-East) (59.7%)
Nigeria (West Africa) (50%)
Malaysia (South-East Asia) (62%)
Mali (West Africa) (90%)
Morocco (North Africa) (98.7%)
Niger (West Africa) (80%)
Senegal (West Africa) (94%)
Sierra Leone (West Africa) (60%)
Turkey (Europe / Asia) (99.8%)
Yemen (Arabian Peninsula – Asia) (+90%)

You have a much better chance of being killed in a car, dying from MRSA or being hit by lightning, than being a victim of a terrorist but don't let that stop you from cowering in fear in your basement.

If he said it, he finally has said something pretty accurate.

And George Bush has zero credibility when it comes to telling the truth.

Patrick,Tulsa- How about my right to have ID? My right to travel? My right to use banks? Borrow money? Sell my property? You simple folks have no idea what is being done to US citizens in the name of terror. You need to wake up to the fact that millions of innocent americans are being persecuted every day. If you spent just one day in my shoes,you'd call for impeachment immediately. The SSA is Bush's gestapo. The "Homeland security" scam is just another fascist political machine. Who's homeland? Yours? Not the american homeland for sure. Try standing up for your rights and watch how fast they elude you.

Is she clapping or telling a fish story? Who widens their hands that far to clap?

Whilr I agree 100% with colin and his ideas, Colin please stop posting your rants without using spell checker. You are making the rest of us that support you look like trailer-trash republicans.
Thanks again for your opinion, but please.....look as inteligent as youseem to be.

"Bush is totally correct."

Really. About what, his mother's name?

" The Clinton's and their operatives are treasonous to the core."

Cheney outing a CIA agent, allowing Halliburton to rip off Americans and help kill soldiers, turning off parts of the Constitution, starting a war based on total lies and sustained by complete lies – THAT'S treasonous.

I suggest you consult a dictionary so you don't look so lame.

"If they return to the White House we will see chaos in the streets of American unseen since the spring of 1861."

Sure thing, Confederate boy. This admin is a virtual Confederate-principles administration anyway.

You're right that there's going to be unrest: if the Repubs try to steal another election, it's time for blood in the streets. This anti-American and anti-Constitution party has run its course.

Jr., California

You think killing Bin Laden (he's probably already dead) is going to change Al Qaeda's plans to kill as many Americans as they can? Thanks to Bush Al Qaeda's membership is growing by the minute. I don't think Ruth's, Portland, theory is far fetched at all.

Did you eat too much Halloween candy? Nobody's trying to convert you to Islam, which is the actual name of the religion you are putting down. Most Muslims are nice people who don't care what church you attend, not crazy radicals. Remember in old Catholic Spain you were not allowed to be Protestant, and in Protestant England you were not allowed to be Catholic. America invented the idea of not having an official religion, and that is why we stand so far above the 'owned' countries of Europe. Muslims sincerely believe, like GW Bush, that the Church must rule over the civil government, and that a non-religious government can only be evil. This paralyzes their societies and causes them to be riding camels while we drive cars. Yet, they live in the US and are fine with a secular government that doesn't prevent them from practicing their religion.

Anonymous, if they try to cut your throat, show 'em a cartoon. I hear they really hate that. If they invade, we'll bring up the Elmer Fudd Marines and drop spongebobs on 'em. Daffy Duck's being held in reserve, and in a pinch we've got the Tasmanian Devils.

“What would Hillary do to protect us against this threat?”

Maybe the same thing her husband did, when he went after Bin Laden before 9/11? You know, right around the time nanny-state “conservatives” were obsessing about Monica’s blue dress?

Or, we could always elect another Republican, who is less interested in preventing terrorism than milking terror for partisan political gain.

Time and time again I hear people talk about their "rights and freedoms" they are giving up to fight terrorists, yet I never hear any specific examples of what you are giving up. Can someone please tell me what right you currently don't possess that you did have before the war on terror began?

What's going on now that is ILLEGAL but the Supreme Court won't call the Patriot Act unconstitutional although the American people know it is:

1. Warrantless wiretapping
2. Illegal search and seizures
3. Being put in jail without being told why or allowed access to a lawyer

I could go on, but then all I'd have to do is bring in all the violations of the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights that the Bush Administration have violated time and again since we have a spineless Congress and Supreme Court who won't do their job.

Ruth, Portland

Awe come on Ruth. This isn't "24". Let's just find Bin Laden and Kill him. Bring our troops home, and secure our Borders. Any problems/threats/attacks afterward .......... nuke em.

The Republican CLOWNS running for president all support Bush. Since it is not practical for her comment on the many failings of these Bush clones, she limits her remarks to Bush. When Republicans have selected the least objectionable of this sorry bunch, she will then proceed to take him apart.

Apparently everybody here either knows nothing about history. Or is blinded by their own stubborness that maybe Bush made a good justifiable statement. Think beyond the political spectrum. Osama is in essence just like Hitler, Lenion, Stalin, hussien, Putin and like every other dictator Just instead of surpressing just one country he has surpressed several including is home country of Afghanistan. Maybe somebody will past their biases and come up with alogical historical answer.

Bush is 100% correct in stating that Bin Laden and his terroists have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler.
Lenin intention was to convert everyone to communist rule and kill all the upper class and middle class and subject everyone to dictatorship of the Communists. Hitler's goal was to conquer the world, kill all the Jews and subject everyone to the dictatorship rule of the master race. Bin Ladens goal to kill all the Jews, convert everyone to Moslem rule and slit the throats of everyone that will not convert. There is no free agency under Moslem rule. You become Moslem or you become dead. How many times have you heard of men from western Countries marrying Moslem women and the women ending up dead when they converted to Christenanity.How many Moslem countries are democratic institutions.
How many have Islamic governments? How many have democratic governments? If you say 0 you are correct.
Better look up on the websites to read and study what the Moslem Religion stands for become you are faced with converting to the Moslem religion or having your throut cut.
The only thing I can say that Bush is doing wrong is that he is not being anywhere near forceful enough and trying to establish
a democratic government. These people do not understand what the world democracy means.
Just remember under Moslem rule you cannot be Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or any religion except Moslem.
I am signing my name Anonymous because I do not want my throat cut.

Right now this lady is acting like a actual nominee already and ignoring the rest of the candidates. Right now we are supposed to know their differences and that is what we are being blurred from. The second face should be the actual nominee and the opponent nominee. It is really sad that she has already tried to ignore the rest of the democrats just like bush ignored the american people. Watch out Americans. I pity your country!

If Hillary did not like Bush's accurate depiction of what happens when ambitious maniacs are ignored, she will not like what I have to say.

I admire the likes of the great Democrats such as Kennedy and FDR.

Hillary, you and the current Democrat party players are no Kennedys nor FDRs. You are just a bunch of Clintons.

What Al Qaeda has learned is that you can't just wound an Elephant, or it will turn, enraged, and try to trample you. That is what 9/11 taught them. They are not stupid. Bin Laden knows his next attack must be so destructive that the US is defeated all at once. The most viable scenario is Al Qaeda smuggling in 'backpack' nuclear bombs for a coordinated attack that would simultaneously destroy 6 or more major American cities. Imagine losing LA, Chicago, NY, Boston, Atlanta, and Dallas all at once. The US would become a 3rd-World nation overnight.
This is the nature of the threat. This is the politically incorrect, stark reality that our leaders are faced with, mostly behind closed doors.
Its very viable, there are hundreds of unaccounted small nukes from the Soviet Union alone.
There are many nation states that might entertain the idea of helping Al Qaeda if they thought it was an opportunity to destroy the US without being held responsible. The threat is very, very real.
Its not going away.
Its getting closer every day.
The essence of nuclear deterrence – Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) – doesn't apply to Al Qaeda. That creates a huge vulnerability for the US.
Al Qaeda is patient, cunning, wealthy, fearless, and willing to wait. They are in it win, and win big, not just to annoy the US. Do not underestimate them.
What would Hillary do to protect us against this threat?

Bush has some nerve faulting Democrats. He was the one who didn't listen to advice and instead of staying in Afghanistan and finding Bin Laden, our real enemy, he took his overblown ego into Iraq just to show Daddy he could. Bush is the worst thing ever to happen to the GOP, our country, and the whole world. He has set a disturbing wave in motion that is affecting the whole world and if he is not stopped, he will lead us right into a third world war.

Frank of Tulsa, OK -

Please make aware your ideology to the people from your great state of Oklahoma who blindly voted for Bush two times. And, this time 08, they will again as robots vote for followers of Bush. Stop this madness.
Our votes in Florida were disfranchised in 2000 to get us into this mess. You can avoid the same mistake.

No democratic presidential candiates has gut to go against Bush and Cheney. They are dreaming that republican will vote them in general election if they became nice to Bush.

you can day dream!
Hillary you stand and continue to fight for people!

My fellow Americans

Why are we still talking about the past? Why don't we talk about our future? OK, we made a big mistake by electing G Bush. Its done, so what can we do? NOTHING!!! We just have to wait for November next year.

Mind you, NOT EVERY REPUBLICAN SUPPORT WITH WHAT G BUSH'S DID AND NOT EVERY DEMOCRATS AGAINST IT. H Clinton actually supported G Bush on his war plans!!! Hence, H Clinton is no different than G Bush. For all you know, H Clinton is a CLOSE BUDDY of G Bush.

Can't you see the both of them are tag teaming to help one another? When G Bush contesting against A Gore in 2000, H Clinton crossed A Gore so that he will lose. Otherwise, A Gore might stand another chance in 2004 and if he wins then he will work till 2008 where J Lieberman (A Gore's deputy) will take from there. Then, H Clinton will never get the chance EVER. Same goes with J Kerry and J Edwards. She keep making them lose so that she (H Clinton) will stand a chance in 2008. SIMPLE, TYPICAL AND LOGICAL!!!

H Clinton is NO ANGEL!!! A very deceiving person who make used of B Clinton in many ways. She lied when she said in 2003 that she won't to contest for US President in 2008. Let's forget about both the Bushes and Clintons. Let's give other people a chance. Why not try B Obama or J McCain (I know he tried many times)? America has many capable leaders to select!!! Once again, its USA AND NOT BUSH-CLINTON (USA) INC!!!

Wow, I've read less than a third of these posts and Bush is compared to Hitler in most of them. These people are absolutely convinced that George Bush is more evil than the terrorists that have been attacking us for decades, all because the left and unfortunately the main stream Democrats have a lust for power that will stop at nothing. The big suprise for all of you is that when we get a Dem president most of the policies that are in place to fight terrorism (policies voted on by the congress) will stay in place because they are needed to keep us safe. Have fun playing politics now, because after the elections, we will have very little change in the war on terrorism but the Dems will try to socialize our medical system, increase taxes on wealth creation and increase spending drastically.
I'm no Bush cool aid drinker but the the Dem front runners scare me and I will likely vote for a Republican.

There is no one that has hurt our effort on the War On Terror than Bush himself. Going into Iraq will be one of the biggest military blunders of all time. When someone sucker punches you, you go after them, not another kid on the playground that had nothing to do with the fight. THIS IS WHY BIN LADEN IS STILL AN ISSUE.

And as far as history let's go back to 1992 when Dick Cheney defended George H Bush's decision NOT TO GO INTO IRAQ citing the very reasons that we are in this quagmire today. Repubs, there is no one, NO ONE, who double speaks like this. He went from "Quagmire" to "Liberators" in ten years. So give us a break on the history lessons that have nothing to do with this military blunder.

There has never been more dissention between military personell and our leadership in the history of this nation. Period. And there's a reason for that.

Let me fill you in on something. RETIRED GENERALS KNOW HISTORY AND THEY KNOW THEIR MILITARY. Many are coming out and saying that this war is mismanaged from it inception and that our military is stretched so far that we cannot manage another war. There's no way that all of them are misuderstood, misinformed, or partisan.

And I don't think this is just an issue of surveillance but who is surveilling. No one trusts this administration and with good reason. John Poindexter under Rumsfeld devised a scheme to develop a mini-stock market to bet on terror events to predict their likelihood. Did you hear? Yeah he had to resign. What if he were there now and was privy to such a delicate responsibilty. We don't need to give nut jobs more authority and latitude. That's how we got into this mess to begin with.

Being bogged down in Iraq and losing top military personell left and right, so much so that they have to give them a 30,000 bonus just to not leave, HAS HURT THE WAR ON TERROR. Get a clue.

What about Hugo Chavez... he is screaming about his plan to ruin the region and what is done by the president (low caps) NOTHING!!!!

I love how when people compare Bush to Hitler there is virtually no backlash from people who are supposed to be on the same side. Then when he points out the FACT that the democrats are doing NOTHING to help our cause, they get all up-in-arms about the issue and say he's "playing politics". Typical liberal hogwash. Making themselves seem so innocent when they stand by while true patriots try to help their country.

"George Bush is not running for President. He won two Presidential elections……get over it."

Because of ignorants like this man, we are suffering 4 more years of incompetance, arrogance, and shear madness from our present government.
If you listen properly, Hillary never said that she is going to hand over the licenses to illegals. All she said was Govt Spitzer is making some efforts to solve the problem NY is facing by illegal immigrants driving without licenses and creating accidents. This is just a small problem to a bigger issue of immigration reform which you don't have capacity to understand. If you think Hillary or any other democrat is not worthy of a leader, go vote for Rudy or Romney who will get us stuck another 50 years in Iraq, Iran. And, be scared and get your other party members scared of Hilter, Lenin, Osama, and vote for your competant republicans for 8 more years of misery.

Time and time again I hear people talk about their "rights and freedoms" they are giving up to fight terrorists, yet I never hear any specific examples of what you are giving up. Can someone please tell me what right you currently don't possess that you did have before the war on terror began?

You cannot compare then and now. We are in the modern world, unless you Republicans are not. Move on and update yourself. World is changing and so do us.

Faulty? Mrs. Clinton can find the definition in the mirror. We are paying for Mr/Mrs Clinton's 1st & 2nd term now, this is what happens when you do nothing. Their mentor must have been Jimmy Carter.

HERMAN GORING (Hitler's #2) said during the Nuremberg Trial: " Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifist for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." Sound familar George?

Hitler was a nationalist, Lenin was a revolutionary and Stalin was a murderer. Does Hitler loving his country justify the death of millions and the idea that a single race ought to be wiped off the face of the planet? Of course not, but what he did he did for the good of his country, or so he thought. Lenin and Stalin comparatively speaking are no where near the same. This countries warped sense of who was what is disgusting at times. I agree with the fellow who recommended that Congress evualate Bush's mental capacity and determine whether or not he's still sound enough to lead this country.

Swift Boat Vets for Truth!!!

Posted By James, Phoenix AZ : November 2, 2007 8:45 am

HA!!!! Those liars wouldn't know the truth if they tripped over it. They're a disgrace to anyone who ever served in the Navy.

Facts of history, a terrorist attack ( a fire actually) lead to the increase in power of a certain German leader. After that point everything that he did was in the name of national security for the people of Germany. Sound famililar. Spying upon the population of Germany in the name of national security, detentions and arrests in the name of national security. And inhanced national security apparatus in the name of national security. Supension of rights and legal protections in the name of national security.

Lots can be drawn from parrels with history, be careful of who is putting the spin on your history lessons though or you may awake in the morning and be surprised.

The forsaking of a nations checks and balances and permitting one man to gain to much power in the name of national security can be dangerous to the health and standing of a nation as history can be dangerous to a society as history has taught us. In a land where freedom is based upon law and checks and balances when the checks and balances no longer protect the law, you have lost the what freedom you thought you might have had.

DP of Mountain View, it isn't just liberal as you so obsfucate. There are conservatives, like Bob Barr who stand against this, as does Ron Paul. Why are you willing to sacrifice security for freedom?

We aren't fighting a million terrorists, just a few thousand and yet people like DP are willing to spend this nation into economic disaster all because they continously are scared by Bush's rethoric.

For some reason Bush supporters want to live in constant fear.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said.

If you ask me, Bush could easily be described as an evil, ambitious man.

As a descendant of a Buchenwald survivor, and a thinking human being, I find both Bush's remarks and Clinton's wan response unsettling. More so for the lack of re-ACTION by the people. We have become a nation of 'Good Germans'.

Lest we forget: Hitler rose to absolute power by creating fear within his own country, "Naturally, the common people do not want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce [the pacifists] for lack of patriotism and endangering the country. It works the same in every country." – Herman Goering, at he Nuremberg trials. Seems to me that when Rove was looking to formulate Bush's political strategy he looked to Germany – 1932 to 1945 Germany.

And just for good measure: What do Hitler, Bin Laden, and Bush have in common?

"I would like to thank Providence and the Almighty for choosing me of all people to be allowed to wage this battle for Germany" – A. Hitler
"I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president." – G. Bush
"A person who is guided by God will never be misguided by anyone." – O. Bin Laden

Wannabe King George should watch his words when he talks about anybody like Hitler, because no President we have ever had, comes closer, by comparison, to Hitler, than George himself.
If it were up to W, he would try to abolish the Congress, and run the whole show for his "handlers". Bush is one of the most despicable men to have ever held the office of President. It makes my skin crawl that Americans don't get it. While they whine about what they "deserve", as Americans, they forget that they elected this Evil Bozo into office a second time. What didn't they see after his heist of the first election? How were the verified lies about his reasons for waging war on Iraq, simply passed over?How do Americans out there not see how he and his conspirators are radically working to undermine the very thing he professes to be exporting to the world, our DEMOCRACY. He is the spearhead of an effort driven by idealogues, that have hidden in the shadows from his beginnings, to highjack our heritage, and our historical identity. With all of that in plain sight, My fellow Americans are getting exactly what they have asked for and deserve. And if we don't wake up soon, we will end up in an unrecoverable trajectory of decline, as a nation. Deny that if you wish, but just keep watching.

Al Qaeda is just sitting back and laughing, watching Bush run this country into the ground. And they will attack us again in a way that no one ever would have imagined. Bush should be impeached and imprisoned for war crimes.

This country is so sick of having a divisive president that continues to use inflammatory rhetoric against our citizens. Bush treats us as the “Divided” States of America, instead of the United States of America. Unfortunately, the Republican frontrunners share his divisive nature, since they cater to the same mindset of the Bush followers on these boards, which is nothing short of mean-spirited and counterproductive for true progress.

At least Clinton tries to reach out to her Republican colleagues. If you disagree, you are not paying attention to her full message and only following the provocative spin spoon-fed to the masses by talk radio and the media. Think for yourself and listen to each candidate. Clinton wants to put together bipartisan commissions and work with members of both parties to heal the damage caused by this administration. 1/20/09 cannot come soon enough for the majority in this country. No matter who becomes president next year, America deserves a leader in the White House that will treat us equally and not continue to divide us against each other for political gain.

"Bush may not be right in how he is dealing with these totalitarian regimes who hide behind Islam,..."

C'mon, give us a break. Bush is running a totalitarian regime hiding behind Christianity. The pot calling the kettle black.

Like Hitler, Bush is willing to go to war over the objections of the U.N. (League of Nations). His Iraq invasion was illegal and therefore a war crime as explained by Articles 41 and 42 of the U.N. Charter, which require two votes, not one, by the Security Council before any state takes such an action. First a vote is needed to explore all possibilities short of warfare (in Iraq’s case through the use of U.N. inspectors), and once this has been shown to be fruitless, a second vote is needed to permit military action. U.S. and U.K. delegates at the Security Council prevented this second vote once it was plain they lacked a majority. This was because other nations on the Security Council were satisfied with the findings of U.N. inspectors that no weapons of mass destruction had yet been found. Minus this second vote, the invasion was illegal. Bush also showed in the process that he has no qualms about bribing, bullying, and insulting U.N. members, even tapping their telephone lines. This was done with undecided members of the Security Council as well as the U.N. Secretary General when the U.S.-U.K. resolution was debated preceding the invasion.

I just don't understand what's in liberal's mind. Isn't the terorist surveillance very important to protect our country? Why you guys all the liberals just because you hate Bush then you all sounds like pro to bin laden by sacrificing this country's security acts?

I agree that Bush should not talk too much anymore since all his words will be articulated negatively by all of you the liberals (especially the media) no matter what.

However, I understand that he might be frustrated that even for such a very important thing like protecting our country, you guys always oppose no matter what. Who will laugh at all this ridiculous thing? BIN LADEN!

Yet again, Bush opens his mouth and stupidity comes out.

Not a big fan of Hillary, but she's right on this one.

Benjamin Franklin said "Those who who would give up an essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty no safety"

If we let a group of terrorists erode our democracy, what will we do when the next great catastrophe hits us?

Can I just say Marie from Minnesota – you rock? No one discussing Bush's disastrous tenure in office had done it as well as you, and you did it in ONE simple, beautiful sentence. Thank you.

Marilyn, lol. I suspect Hillary wouldn't choose you as a friend either, as if she'd ever notice you at all. And yes, I DO want fries with that.

George Bush should be careful using the Hitler analogy when it could be applied so easily to him. Hitler started off invading 1 country at a time. Bush seems to be the same way. His bloodlust for an Iranian invasion is so obvious.

Bush has officially lost it. And it's very clear, now that Hillary is considered the Democratic front-runner, that Bush and his cronies staged this as a PR stunt to start the Republican anti-Hillary rhetoric that will, unfortunately, pervade the 2008 Presidential race. Scary stuff here.
Sending troops needlessly into battle or "I'm going to do anything else I want to do, some without telling you – you'll just have to trust me" tactics do not prove you're tough on terrorism.

And is the RNC spokesperson that unintelligent that's he's citing a pop-political book as fact when there's absolutely no evidence behind the allegation? It's either unintelligent or purposely (and immorally)deceptive. You choose.

"I left the democratic party because of this narrow minded alienation of anyone with an opposing view". Patrick

If this is your view then I doubt you were ever really a Democrat. "Lock and step" is more of a Republican mindstep than a Dem. It takes an admisitration like this to get the Dems to act like Republicans. Have you listened to the Talk Shows out there or are just that naive?

IT IS THIS ADMINISTRATION that chastised anyone, including their own party, for having an opposing view. Ask Collin Powell, Paul O'Neil and all the Repub Senators/Reps who are leaving office b/c of this moron.

Don't worry, tomorrow Hillary will say Hitler and Stalin were model citizens.

IS THERE SOME REASON THAT BUSH DOESN'T GET IT? He describes these past criminal power hungry, revenge hungry leaders and if you took his own words out of the context of him saying them, you would think someone was speaking of Bush himself. I'm not saying Bush is like Hitler, he is saying it.

Seth, your mommy called. She wants you to get off the computer and go to school and learn to spell prejudice. Who's Bid Laden? Was he the president of the Iraq Taliban? I thought that was Sodom Gomorrah, but we caught him hiding in a spider hole with his WMD.

"I had to put up with her first 8 years as President when she and her husband tried almost successfully to live out their hippy dreams of destroying the military, now I can just leave it and them behind! Be very affraid people." – Jeff

You're right, of course. Had the Clintons really been serious about dismantling the military, they could have just launched a war on another country under the guise of national defense, er, liberation and just waited for the troops to filter into military hospitals and cemetaries instead of having their budgets cut, right?

I can see how "evil" the Clintons were, when compared to the current appreciation for our men and women in uniform.

Here we go again...Its the SAME OLD, TIRED REPUBLICAN hitsquad... they have no ideas, no vision...they are not effective and much of anything of accept RHETORIC...and whining....

I'm trying to understand why Hillary was so offended by the President's quoteing the facts of history and speaking the truth. Everything that the President said, was the truth! It's obvious that dealing with and speaking the truth is very uncomfortable for her, Boy!! that's the kind of person we need, running this country!! Not!!!

If the Bush administartion had acted swiftly in checking their Saudi friends and concentrated on stiffling the Iranian threat rather than the non-existent Iraqi one, then perhaps we would not be in this mess.

As for Bush's quote "History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake,"

He is right! This is the reason why Congress are all engaged in ensuring that, not only would we no longer underestimate him, we will continue to watch him closely, so he doesn't push us into another terrible mistake like Iraq.

I would beg to differ. The only reason you think that Bush is the worst president ever is because we are the most media centric generation ever. And the Majority of media is liberal so therefore you are liberal they tell you he is the worst president ever. I bet that people would say Nixon, or Carter, or Johnson, or Lincoln why because they are presidents highly criticized by the media so they weren't very popular for their time. It's all about how history looks back on them. Lincoln and Johnson will be looked on with sympathy for their losses, while Nixon is crook. i believe Bush will not go down in history as such an awful president as you percieve him to be.

How interesting! I had been recently thinking that Bush's own Rhetoic was reminiscent of Hitlerian thinking....an enemy group in our midst, suspension and stretching of constitutional limits, protection of the "homeland"...one of the leaders of Germany at that time said that the best way to get people to follow you is to reiterate a threat to the homeland and build fear. Gee...who's he fooling?

Hillary IS Lennin!

Hilary has yet to prove the following:

Her strength: talking is not walking, in fact, I've seen alot of crying. Crying from a president...seriously?

Her Leadership: What has she lead? The woman can campaign. That's about it.

Change: her being a female is the only real change I've seen.

If you want a tax hungry socialist state, by all means vote for the woman.
Socialism doesn' work, hasn't worked and never will.
Here's something to think about. Socialism doesn't exist without a true dictator.(see Chaves, Castro, etc...)

those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. The senator from New York should realistically study her history before her reflex kicks in to admonish the president. Her credibility on national security is not quite as good as even Warren Christopher's was in his admonition of "urging caution." The President's analgies were neither faulty nor offensive, and she should look in a mirror before she accuses anyone of "playing politics". Or can she not even remember her own personal history?

Bush's analogy is 100% correct. The democrat's refusal to wake up and see what is really going on, is the same attitude that let Hitler's terror proliferate through Europe. There are people in this world that would sooner see you dead than live peacefully next to you. And where was Hillary's outrage when the dem's compared Bush to Hitler a while back? Not a word from her then . Hypocrite!

These comments are just more bottom of the Dumpster rantings from a desparate, pathetic clown and his disgraced administration. George Bush needs to remember that he ignored the warnings in 2001 of Osama Bin Laden's plans to strike America – a lapse for which we paid dearly at the time – before he goes throwing insults at his political opponents.

I think the US needs to find a way out of Iraq. But Bush is absolutely correct in his comparison of Hillary's and the other democrates to those who ignored Hitler in the 1930's. Had Europe listened to Churchill, WW2 may have been avoided. So it will be with us. If we follow the apeasment approaches of Clinton and Obama, or the "it's all my fault" philosophies of Biden, Pelosi and Reid, then we are well on our way to a much more costly war with Islam fascism.

Bush may not be right in how he is dealing with these totalitarian regimes who hide behind Islam, but he is facing the threat. Hillary doesn't appear to sense the danger. Not facing the threat has historically been severely costly in terms of lives.

Bush is totally correct. The Clinton's and their operatives are treasonous to the core. If they return to the White House we will see chaos in the streets of American unseen since the spring of 1861.

She lost horribly in the recent debate so now she is trying to divert attention. Hillary needs to remember she is not running against Bush. Democrats need to wake up and realize that she does not represent you. You were the people she found easiest to use.

"I'm tired of Hillary critizing the very thing she supported. As a concerned democrat, we better wake up before it is too late with this idiot."

Anyone calling Hillary an idiot in the face of our Worst. President. Ever. is NOT a democrat. Nice try.

Now, go play with your Mitt Romney doll.

I'm tired of Billary. I've seen this movie before. Haven't you ever had a boss or co-worker like her who uses everything from their know-it-all chameleon-speak, to their "poor me I'm a woman" (while I claw your eyes out?)

I'd never choose a friend like her...I need girlfriends who say what they mean and mean what they say.

YOu know all of you are making the comments that Bid Laden isn't a Lenin or Hitler like figure. Bidladen Has killed thousands in terroristic ways inside and outside his own country just like Hitler, He rose up in power in the Taliban in his own Country just like Hitler with the Nazis, and Lenin with the Marxists. you say it cannot be compared and questioned that Bid Laden is Hitler like figure, genocide is genocide any way you like, and a pregidous like Hitler with the Jews is a predgidous. So in fact they are a lot alike. And Just like Europe in the 1930s ignored and appeased hitler, the democrats are ignoring the fact that we are still in a winable war and have good news that no one wants to report because America does not seem to care about good news. And has appeased the war protesters just get votes in the upcoming election oh and by the way Hillary supports the war just thought i would tell you that.

It hurts to know that there are this many stupid people in this country that would actually vote for a candidate like Hillary Clinton. God help us if she is elected president. Kiss our country goodbye. I'm gonna move to a foreign country for the next four years and live in a shanti on some deserted island. Any hot women want to join me? Just thought i'd ask.

you people leaving comments are laughable, Bush mearly stated that if we don't heed the words of the enemy we will pay a terrible price ! thats a big DUH! if i say i'm going to slap you , and you ignore me , and get slapped , you'll say man i should have listened when he told me he was going to do it ,DUH! hate Bush all you want but rest assured you'll hate Hilary more when the attacks resume, me i'm moveing to Canada as soon as a Dem. get's elected because America will no longer be safe as it is now , safe now because our G.O.P. leaders have assured our safety despite all the hard work by the left to stop him from doing so , grow up people you sound just like the hippies during veitnam, peace ,love and dope, dope here being Hilary !!!!

Thanks to the inane policies of this admininstration regarding Iraq, the gutting of our civil liberties, the destruction of our standing and moral authority worldwide, and it's absolute contempt for the Constitution, which I took an oath to defend so many years ago (I earned my DD-214 by honorable service), this lifelong Republican has finally seen the light. Although I can never support Hillary, I now consider myself to be a Recovering Republican.

Look who is calling the kettle black. This evil woman is no better than Hitler and the killing of millions of Jews or Saddam in the killing of his own people and the Kurds. Hillary, embraces the killing of millions of "unwanted" unborn children. How is this ANY different to those other evil and vile men.
WAKE UP AMERICA!! We are heading for destruction. Don't you have any fear of God? We all know what is right and what is wrong. It is not for us to change the laws set down by God, but to uphold them. God forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. My You have mercy on us and our souls.

In his poem "First They Came" Martin Niemoller described the failure to speak out against the rise of the Nazis and their methods of systematically eliminating their enemies for fear of being labeled "un-patriotic".

Our country is ABOUT civil liberties...like protection from invasion of our private lives by our government. To sacrifice these liberties in the name of security means that Bin Laden has won.

It sounds like BUSH hasn't learned the lessons that we were taught from the rise of Hitler, not Hillary.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said.

George, you just came up with your own epitaph.

Maybe Bush should learn to think (that would be something new and different) before he speaks!

Listening to Bush's comments, I thought he was making the analogy to himself.

"politics of division"

Oh boy, another hollywood stmt. Is this Rob Riener's input?? Obviously Hillary has nothing to offer America but hollywood stmts and a pre-911 administration..

In response to "Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sharply criticized President Bush Thursday for comparing Democrats opposed to his terrorist-surveillance program to those who ignored the rise of Hitler and Lenin."

Well, this country has pretty much let the power of this president go unchecked. He has and continues to propose programs that restrict an individual's Constitutional Rights, pretty much like Hitler, Stalin, and Lenins did themselves. Where has Congress been in that they have not pulled this man into line? Can we not until recently compare them to Hitler's SS, they have allowed and enforced the president's reign of terror on this country.

Wow! I've read some pretty warped comments from the Bush-haters. You people should probably seek professional help. To spew some of the vile and hateful stuff in public about a person you do not even know. Boy, I wonder how vicious ya'll get with your known enemies. Seriously, Hillary is trying to run on the backs of you Bush-Haters. Meanwhile the other candidates are focusing on the future and what they will do for us. Hillary and the rest of you deranged people are mired in your hate. She will lose if she keeps running against the outgoing President.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said.

How many times did Dubya practice this phrase in the mirror wearing a little mustache? He must have gotten confused.

Who dropped the ball on OBL to go ignite Iraq? Who advocates the Color Coded Terror Alert system (used primarily for political leverage)? Who terrorizes his own people on a regular basis to gain support for expanding war? Could it be the guy in the mirror.

What the President fails to realize is that the opposition to his terrorist-surveillance program is not a failure to recognize a potential enemy on the rise. The opposition to the presidents terrorist-surveillance program is due to the recognition the George and Dick are the Hitler and Lenin of our time. The President and his administration are one of the greatest threats to the Constitution, civil liberties, and Democracy in general. So to George Bush I say; opposition to you and your terrorist-surveillance program is the only truly Patriotic choice.

Sorry Hillary your weak lil mind cant grasp the big picture and what the Terrorist are capable of. God I really dont know what I will do if this evil pea brained woman is elected into office. Thank God alot of people saw her for what she was at the debate the other night. I think this greatly damaged her chances and showed her for the fraud that she is. And Hillary you can keep using the Gender card if anything it is backfiring on you. Thank God we have strong leaders in office right now that can make GROWN-UP decisions unlike this loony bin loser. I know CNN probably wont print this cause they are again the CLINTON NEW NETWORK.

Yeah, impeach Bush and elect Hillary Clinton. Really smart, people. Bush may not be the best, but you actually think Hillary will be better? What kind of dream world are you living in?! Screaming, lying Hillary. Yeah right.

I'm no fan of Bush, but he won this spat.

Her bit about playing politics with national security was priceless. Almost as ironic as Gore lecturing us on living green.

Look down through these comments and it's clear which party is more adept at practicing the politics of division.

I left the democratic party because of this narrow minded alienation of anyone with an opposing view.

George the King, PLEASE! He's facist just like Hitler and Lenin....by keeping us in fear and confusing us he keeps buying time....glad that he wont be in power for long...BRING DEMOCRACY BACK!!!!!!!! BRING BACK OUR AMERICA!

Does anyone stop and consider whether Bush has a valid point? It seems that most of the comments here are gunshot, emotional pleas to stop the war without taking into account the long-view consequences of abandoning. Regardless of whether you agree with the war, please just take a moment to genuinely consider that the holocausts of the past are a direct result of Hillary's brand of myopic leadership.

Greg, I absolutely love you for your comment.

I don't care what Hillary has to say about criticizing the president - People can do that all the time and it's already obvious Bush has some mental issues going on. Quite frankly I'm more concerned about her "flip-flop" stances and the fact she SUPPORTS illegal immigrants getting driver's licenses.

Absolutely NO NO NO!

Hillary, you don't have anyone's vote in my family, and you don't have my friends' votes either. I hope with all my heart you are not elected president.

Bush is right in that we should listen to bin Ladin...here's his declaration of war from 1996 titled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places": http://www.pbs.org/newshour/terrorism/international/fatwa_1996.html

What he said he wanted was for the US to pull its troops out of Saudi Arabia, which we did in 2003. Now bin Ladin is free to try to "liberate" his country and good luck with that you moron. Point is that Bush DID listen to bin Ladin, got our troops out of there and....uh...we haven't been attacked here in the US since. So why in the world did we attack Iraq and now threaten Iran? Leave other countries the hell alone! If Iran get's nukes....big deal....Israel has them as well and defend herself just fine.

"When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground," Bush said, "and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters."

Last time I checked, Presidents are SUPPOSED to answer to the demands of the people!!!

Strange..... Bush has done everything in his power to remove civil liberties, crush freedom of the press and impose his own ideological judges that believe torture is ok in power...similar to what Hitler did in the 30's in Germany... Perhaps it is HE we should be watching out for.

The use of fear to entice the American people to voluntarily give up our freedoms is the scariest thing that could ever happen to our country. Instead of using our ability to reason, to gain all of the facts, and make a rational decision based on those facts, we are frightened into the extinction of our personal liberties.

This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue of the survival of our way of life.

Are we in a war with terrorsits. Yes we are. Is the best way to go about fighting this war the occupation of every muslim country that harbours terrorists. Impossible. Why dont we look at our own governments behavior, and policies toward the world.

We are very quick to assume that we are on the side of good in all matters, and when evidence to the contrary arises, we are quick to over look it.

The solution to our problems will come only after we first examine our own part in these matters. Not just on a governmental level, but also on an individual basis. And when each and every one of us, as citizens of the United States, begin to question and think, and consider alternatives, then we will be on the way to a solution for our problems.

Then maybey we will elect representatives, to all levels of government, that share in our individual values and beliefs.

In a seperate article on the CNN website today Bush is quoted as saying that the new SCHIP bill "is disguised as a bill to help children but is really a trick on the American people"- SOOO... we can add paranoia to the list of symptoms. Mayhaps we should all sit down & do the prez a favor by doing some armchair psycho-analysis for him. Put him in a white room with a little waterboarding to get his head on straight. NOT the torture waterboarding- but the let's-help-him-through-this-terrible-time waterboarding.

Well done Hillary!

Ah I agree with Bush for once.

He is like Hitler. He did a preemptive strike on a setting government.

When will he pay for his war crimes.

Bush,do something good for a change, and just retire. Take Cheney, Rice, and Laura with you.

Do something for the love of country!

I fear for this country if this woman takes the White House. Bush is 110% correct in his analogies, and I am not a Bush appologist because he certainly has not been a perfect president..but when it comes to national security, I will side with him all the time.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," …which is exactly why we must keep up the pressure on ” evil, ambitious men” like you Mr. President, your vice president and all of the other minions of yours who would see this great country of ours go further down the tubes so that you can make a buck and a place for yourself in history.

It's so much fun watching George Bush not only put his foot in his mouth, but swallow the entire leg all the way up past his knee. That's why Mr. Bush is the 43rd best President in the history of the United States.

We already ignored the radical Islam voice and we already did and are paying the price. W is not stopping radical Islam before it hits no more than we stopped Hitler or Stalin before they got started. I guess what W needs to learn iss that radical Islam started before 9/11. His ignorance of the world and its history is staggering. He is so much like his mother.

Hahaha. Bush said Dems should pay more attention to Bin Laden. IS this the same Bush who said a couple of years ago that he doesn't even think of Bin Laden anymore and doesn't care where he is? Now he's telling the Dems to pay attention to Bin Laden?

And what horrible things did Lenin ever do? Stalin and his evil cronies wanted Lenin dead fast so they could start murdering people to raise the Soviet Empire.

LEARN YOUR HISTORY PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH WRITERS!!!

I want to see Bush on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader."

Bush ought to know about Hitler; his family worked for Hitler. As far as Clinton is concerned, I do not see any connection.

What IF Bush's family supported Hitler way back when???!! Bush doesn't. You can't blame somebody for their families' past. So if I was German, are you going to use the Holocaust against me?
Ri-dic-u-lous!
What happened to intelligent America?

Spying on citizens is what Bush thinks democracy is about.
He needs to be convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity and suffer the same fate as Saddam.

Too many people ignore the threat of terrorism and the even more dreadful threat of a Islamic Terrorist state like Iran getting a nuclear weapon. People have thought how horrendous just ONE nuclear explosion in a populated US city would be. It would make 9/11 look like nothing.

Clinton #1 did ignore the real threat of terrorism while getting his jollies in the Oval Office. Even worse than Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazi threat and his "Peace in our Time"

You must be completely retarded to back Hillary. She lies constantly, nothing she says is what she believes. If you want higher taxes, a divided country, and happy terrorists, then vote for Hillary. Look at the Clinton's foreign policy record: Black Hawk Down – Clinton refused to allow OUR soldiers to use armored vehicles because it was too "high profile". What about Ruwanda? Remember how the Clintons just sat back and argued over the definition of "genocide", while 500,000 people were slaughtered? Bill later recounted that if he would have sent in 5000-10000 Marines, we could have stopped the "genocide" He's responsible for those half million lives, he could have stopped it. Not to mention the Clinton's history of COMPLETE INACTION against terrorists. And now, the Clinton's are covering up their past, restricting access to their archives. Give me a break.

Why must we wait for 2008 to be rid of George Bush? IMPEACHMENT NOW

Great analogy, so where is Bin Laden? In Iraq? Iran? [insert other country Bush wants to invade]?

If Clinton wins Presidency, we are all doomed. The world is not a play land, yet Hillary thinks it is.
I support Bush 100%!

So, shouldn't he be using the same analogy on himself? He was in power when the troops in Afghanistan were pulled out of the mountains where bin Laden was supposedly holed up, and was the one calling for war with Iraq when we should have been focusing on the attack on Al Qaeda.

He's doing what he has always done; when he knows his in a bad position, start the baseless attacks.

His administration is calling the attacks on General Petraeus disgusting, yet he orchestrated swift-boating on Kerry, and even attacked McCain when he ran against him.

Here's hoping we get an actual president in 2008.

Notice how Hillary makes the leap of logic that 'terrorist-surveillance' has anything to do with bringing the troops home? Unfortunately many of her lemmings chime right in with her. Some people need to put aside their hatred for Bush and put this country's security first.

Oh, this isn't news. Hillary and Lenin are on the same page. We already knew that she thought Lenin's march to power was best for Russia.

I wonder if this puts her back to the top of the dem field after her ridiculous debate performance. I hope so because Rudy would wipe her out in the general election. Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

Bush – Definition: Hitler reincarnated. Just add mustache.

Seems to em me that Bush is closer to Hitler than anyone:
Invading countries
- Supporting countries that oppress others (Israel)
- Taking away civil liberties of America's citizens – - Daily, under the guise of Homeland Security – just think about it)
- Squandering a fiscal surplus in exchange for the largest deficit in US History

Isn't it time that we all not only wake up, but speak up and eliminate this dictatorial government? What are the we – the people doing, what are the democrats doing – and most importantly, what have we done wrong – to cause our children (18-36), to be so Apolitical

The Bush administration has been systematically decimating the consitution and eliminating our civil rights, our rights to privacy, and due process. He tries to rule by scaring the citizens, not by leading or insipring them. History will forever remember him as the war-mongering president, and they will question why WE allowed him to destroy our constituion and way of life. And he has the nerve to compare Congress to the enablers of Nazi Germany? This is a man who until the age of 40 was a coked-up alchoholic loser, how many unfried brain cells can there still remain in that cranium of his? Until he declares himself Emperor Bush or Darth Sidius, he needs to lay off the Hitler analogies. It is the responsibility of the now Democratic majority congress to finally question and oversee his actions and rein him in, since he had teh Republican majority congress rubber stamping everything he wanted. The government still has three branches, get used to it Georgy.

ABSURD. The politics in America is as bad as politics in third world country, if not worst. Our Leaders are suppose to tell the truth, but majority of them LIE. Mr Bush, Please just go away, another year of you is just tooo much to handle. PLEASE RESIGN, you are not a smart man at all. YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS WORLD. YOU ARE PATHETIC>

Bush claims that we should learn from the past and not ignore what other, bad world leaders are doing but has he not learned from our past? What about the Vietnam and Korean wars? In the end aren't we doing what we did then? Invading a country and trying to change their government? Maybe he should think about learning from those wars as well.

Impeach this disabled mind!
The Christian Brothers should pratice their heavenly right to RECALL! With Balls, Ah'men, Alleluia turn out the Lights the Party is Over!

So the lame duck is finally beginning to quack. Quack away. Congress' approval rating may be low, but the democration congressional caucus still has a higher approval rating than Bush.

President Bush is correct!! and I am very proud to have voted for him and support him, he has been under tremendous pressure and has held up well and has the countrys best interest at heart!! unlike the Democrats....They are blind to what is going on.. and if they don't take the terrorist serious, we will pay seriously.

That's rich. How many times how democrats actually compared Bush TO Hitler. What hypocrits!

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said. "In the early 1900s, the world ignored the words of Lenin, as he laid out his plans to launch a Communist revolution in Russia — and the world paid a terrible price.

“In the 1920s, the world ignored the words of Hitler, as he explained his intention to build an Aryan super-state in Germany, take revenge on Europe, and eradicate the Jews — and the world paid a terrible price," Bush continued. "Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them."

For once, perhaps,GEORGE BUSH,has spoken intelligently and tuthfully. Much of the world has been underestimating the words & actions of of EVIL, AMBITIOUS MEN with an agenda – i.e, BUSH & HIS CRONIES since he usurped the National Election. And the world has been paying a terrible price ever since.

Is anyone listening?!

"MoveOn.org and Code Pink protesters" and let's not forget the majority of the American people.

The Nazis and Communists should be offended when compared to the treasonous and spineless democrats. In their hunt for power, the democrats have become a party of defeatism that have desecrated the sacrifice and memories of brave men and women in our armed forces. America had blinders on when Hilter gained power, millions of lives could of been saved....we have learn nothing from history. The terrorists have won because the country is divided by weak liberals with no understanding of sacrifice to preserve freedom for all.

To Greg: You must one of those Hillary hater. Please do not twist the fact-she never said she supported giving driver's licenses in NY, but she said it makes lot of sense for the Governor of NY to do that, because it helps the state to know who are here illegally. Do not distort the fact, like Bush. You must HATE Clintons! God bless your hateful soul.

Bush needs to stop worrying so much about Bin Laden and work on stopping this war. The republicans can only talk of how the democrats are going to raise taxes and put the economy in jepordy when they are the ones who have put this country almost 5 trillion in debt.

From the Queen of Politics of Division.....Trust me, I'll keep America safe. HA HA

I am disgusted that Kucinich is a representative of Ohio and proud that we put President Bush into office TWICE. Kucinich is a nasty blood sucking liberal who is out of touch with the American people. It's hilarious that he's even wasting his party's time by running for president. He's just grotesque! Get ouf of Ohio!

Hillary – You're not running against President Bush, girlfriend. And if you were, you would lose. But girl, you lack ideas like the rest of your party and so you resort to attacks. President Bush is right – you dems would love to see Iraq fail and have the Kurds wiped out. President Bush is right on the mark. You and Obama should run on the same ticket as Curly and Moe. haaaa

Bush is correct, and those who want to walk through life with blinders on should be ashamed. Over 1 million letters were sent to the White House in 1940, before the US entered into WWII. How many more millions of people would have bee slaughtered if the white house listen to the people who have freedom, but dont want to help others achieve it?

"...underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake..." The real question, Mr. bush, is whether the American people will come to realize that we already have a similar madman in this world, in this country.

Hilary, why are you wasting your breath defaming Bush? He's not running for Presidency. Stop your whining and get on with it!!! I want to hear what you will do with minimum wages, health care for women & children, bringing home the troops, and the issue of Homeless Americans.

Way to go President Bush, this ole Hillary is the biggest pit bull on the political state, just take her insults as compliments and charge them to her ignorance.
WHAT A FRAUD SHE IS,considering her past, she should not be calling other people names, how soon people forget!
SUCH CLASS,egh

Both of them are ridiculous.

Bush keeps his drumbeat of fear going.

Hillary claims she's trying to stop the war.

Actions speak louder than words. Neither is accomplishing anything but moving their lips.

Bush Jr. has alot to talk about with his own "Hitleresque" tactics. This is really the pot calling the kettle black. Myabe the idiot (Bush) needs to go look in the mirror and rethink his own thinking.

DENNIS KUCINICH IS RIGHT ABOUT BUSH!

I'm voting for Dennis because Hillary isn't a whole lot better than Dubya.

“In 2007, the world ignored the words of George W. Bush, as he explained his intention to start World War III – and the world paid a terrible price."

Bill Richardson, candidate for president, has been an ambassador to the UN (among many other qualifications).

We need a candidate with international experience in collaboration, peacemaking, negotiating, and just plain appropriate language as our next president. We don't need any more politicians who specialize in inflammatory rhetoric (rudy giuliani) or a polarizing personality (hilary clinton).

Bush has already provided more than enough of both, and look where that has gotten us.

Why do we continue to suffer through the Bush legacy? We've allowed the system to work for so long, and its not working for us.

Oust this horrible president and lets hold elections early.

I think that George Bush is acting like Hitler himself, running around the world conquering helpless countries, just like Hitler did. He thinks that Democrats are ruining his little spying party, well, not all the Republicans support it either. He doesnt criticze them at all. This will end soon. We all have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday: George Bush will never be President again, and God bless the United States of America.

This from the guy who ignored a report thrown on his lap just days before 9/11 titled, "Bin Laden Wants to Fly Airplanes into Buildings".

It's a sad situation when you read all the comments from Bush haters. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't give license to such disrespectful comments. You're going to find out that he's right but if you have it your way (Hillary and friends) it will be too late. Hey what about Spitzer and Hillary thinking it's ok to break the law and give illegal immigrants drivers licenses? "Ah, what's wrong with breakin the law? After all, then all those illegals can vote for Hillary!" Good grief!!

Mr. President...who missed or ignored the 9/11 intel that was clearly available before 9/11?

Who authorized spying on Americans, by corporate giants Verizon, AT&T among others, in FEBRUARY of 2001?

You did.

OUR PRESIDENT IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET... WHY HASN'T HE BEEN IMPEACHED YET.

HE IS AND HAS MADE AMERICA A JOKE

Congress is merely paying attention to the mad rantings of another war-mongering would be dictator...George W Bush.

He has consistently moved to try to invade other countries, all in the name of "National Security". After 9/11, he seized the opportunity and created the Department of Fatherland Security, and has systematically taken steps to try and curb our civil rights and to use fear as the excuse, just like Hitler did with the Jews.

I half expect Bush to sometime before next November to push for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment. At this point, that's the only real safety net that this country has.

History teaches that underestimating the words of our president is a terrible mistake

Is this man for real? He's typical of the egomaniacal demi-dictator who believes that his word is gospel and that all who disagree with him are preaching stuff that's just a hair above hearsy! He needs a mental enema, STAT!!

In the 2000s, the US ignored the potential danger of electing power-mad neocons into high office, and the world paid a terrible price.

How's that for irony, Bush?

With reference to Hillary, Hitler, MoveOn.org, Lenin and Obama bin Laden, or is it Osama, Kennedy keeps confusing me, I'm trying to see what was inaccurate in Bush's statement.

Pacifists and isolationists have historically had their heads up their you know what. Remember Chamberlain's statement "Peace in our time" in prelude to WWII? Don't be so sure there isn't a parallel to be drawn here. History has a habit of repeating itself. Perhaps Bush's statement was stern, but the concern is legitimate.

Snooping is principally a feminine hobby. Don’t you believe me? Well, a market leader in
U.S. women’s programming – says that 67 per cent of women admit to spying on their partners,
with 58 per cent acknowledging that they’ve also spied on their children.

Recent research by security firm Symantec found that almost two-thirds of women regularly
sneak a look at their partner’s text messages and emails, particularly when they suspect
him of being unfaithful. Even at work many would peek confidential information about
friends or colleagues on corporate networks.

Women do it mostly because information is power and knowing what’s going on in the
partner’s life gives them a measure of control.

Pardon me, I did not realize that it was President Bush's terrorist-surveillance that is being discussed here. Please ignore this comment.

GW Bush – it's like Hitler had a twin.

Oh, joy!! An article where I can both praise my god Dubya and condemn my worst nightmare, Hillary.

Thanks, CNN, for not stopping those who want to impersonate me.

Swift Boat Vets for Truth!!!

GO HILLARY!

You know who was just like Hitler?

Hitler.

How much longer are we going to cheapen the memories of the Holocaust by comparing anyone and everyone we don't like to Hitler or one of his allies? Can we please rid American discourse of this tired, overused analogy?

"Americans are tired of the president’s efforts to play politics with national security and practice the politics of division".

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!! What a shameless hypocrite! The Democrats, and especially the Clintons, practice the "politics of division" everyday. They have been engaged in name-calling, scare tactics and villainization from day one. Say it enough with a sympathic press and the electorate will eventually accept it as fact. Hillary, JUST GO AWAY. We don't need to be polarized anymore as a Nation!! Come on Dems, nominate Obama.

Hi,

The sad part of these comments shows that the attitude seems to be a fight against terrorism justifies anything.

Even mudslinging seems to be OK.

Remember that Osama was a product of US genorosity to fight the Russians in the first place. Saddam was a product of US support to fight the Iranians during their war.

Saudi was by need required to ask for help from the US. However the Wahabhi sect (the most fundemantalist sect) was what put the King of Saudi in Power beleives that the US had overstayed their welcome.

As long as we need Oil we will keep meddling in these countries. As long as we kill our own manufacturing base and the only product we export is fear and hatred we are doomed to keep fighting.

The main problem is when you fight a war for resources

1) Land
2) Oil etc.

You stop when you capture or acauire these resoruces.

You cannot fight a war against Beliefs and ideology. It is just not done and cannot be won.

The same goes for Hillary and Bush. They are only fighting over their moral stand. I am better snice I do not condone what you do. No I am better since I have to do what I am doing.

In my recent travels I hve come to realise that US has already lost its credibility. Many a time in many a bar I was asked "So what reasons will you guys cook up to pick a firght with Iran?".

My only response seems to be silence and order another beer.

Who do I beleive Bush? Hitler? Lenin?
Hillary? Blair? I am not sure any more

Hoever i do know that when the dust settles the figures of people killed in this "War" to protect our way of Life is going to be stagerring enough to make me a humble person.

A concerned Human being.

The Democrats who ignore theological/racial/political terrorism are worse than those people who ignored Hitler and Lenin: they should know better by now. Jihadists have attacked us and other groups numerous times since 1979, yet some Democrats, and all Code Pinkos, plug their ears and close their eyes, and scream that everything that is wrong in the 20th and 21st centuries is the fault of the Bush family.

Hillary says President Bush is playing politics with national security while she turns the other way as New York's Governor pushes for illegal immigrants to receive driver's licenses. Why don't we just allow anyone to walk in off the street and vote as many times as they want and then hand them an airline ticket without going through any security.

Jihad=WAR

If someone is at WAR with you, you can't ignore it and can't turn your back on it.

The analogy is somewhat accurate. Certainly not worth attacking.

I can't get over how many people site past situations in order to address issues that we are currently dealing with, or will deal with. It goes something like this. . . "but look what Bush has done"

That doesn't work! We are trying to get better!

If the Nat'l Archives can release Hillary's paperwork, they should. Simply to know where she stands on issues. She says her years as a First Lady qualifiy her. . . .OK so let's see the proof. If in the past there wasn't a need to see them as quickly, SO WHAT. There is today, so let's see them. If not . . . where there is smoke, there is fire!!!

I am in no way a Bush supporter, but the point is somewhat true. Hilly is starting to feel the fact that she is stoppable and not this great future leader that she thinks she is. She will constantly put her face up front so we don't forget who she is, but many of us would like to.

Hillary who is an announced socialist, has no room to talk about comments made by President Bush and his concerns about non actions being taken by the democratic congress to solve Americas Military issues.

Please...get this idiot out of office. He needs to shut-up, and find Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive". The more Bush talks, the more I believe that there is something seriously wrong with him.

Saying he is mentally ill gives mentally ill people a bad name. I am a mental health social worker- I would say he is not so much mentally ill as he has personality disorders a plenty and an Oedipus complex. The thing about personality disorders is that there is no medication that can cure them- it has to be through behavior modification. To modify ones behavior one must admit there is a problem. Guess that's never gonna happen.

Kucinich speaks on behalf of me and my family and we support him. If you are unfamiliar with his view please chech out his website at: http://www.dennis4president.com/home/ you will find that Dennis is the candidate for the people.

NIkki

Bush is exactly right. You must learn from history or be forced to repeat it.

GW always reminded me of Hitler.

It’s sad some uneducated people will believe Bush and his spin. Am I the only on who sees a greater connection between BUSH AND HITLER!!

Bush is talking about bin Laden? Now that he only has less than a year and a half left to his Presidency, he finally remembers that this was the guy who orchestrated 9/11. What the hell has he been doing since but missing his target? The man is a complete ass, and I can't believe that there are people left in this country who are blind enough and stupid enough to support him.

I agree with Haillary, and I am prepared to vote Democratic next Novemebr, except, I would never vote for Hillary.
She hasn't even had her first real job yet. We went through that with Bush.
She's the American Imelda Marcos.
Democrats, please, please, put somebody with some lifetime substance in there or I won't vote.

Bush must remember that his actions influence not just the USA but the rest of the world. What will our children say about his actions in the near future?

Here's two great audio resources about George Bush and Hillary Clinton that will help you decide who is right...
Against All Enemies
Case for Hillary Clinton.

Please, if anyone on this board thinks that this election or even the next president will change the course we are on, you havent been paying any attention at all! Whoever is at fault here, the powers that be wont let them change anything.

Wow you people are some of the stupidest individuals around. Some of your comments concerning this make you look about as stupid as Clinton herself. Did any of you ever get past the 1st grade? Or have you been just accepting all the BS that the media and democrates have been spilling since Bush won the office? You people are sad excuses for intelligent thinking people. Think for yourself for once.

At least he didn't use his made-up word "misunderestimating" again.

He should have been impeached immediately upon Democrats taking control of Congress. What a mistake in judgement.

The world in 2007 wasn't listening when this guy named Bush warned us he would only invade countries he could spell.

It's kind of funny that someone that is going around preaching socialism is knocking what Bush said in this remark. And no, I'm not a Bush fan but Hillary is selling something no one needs to be listening to.

Clinton-Bush.....Birds of a Feather...

Don't be fooled. This is rhetoric.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said.

We're not underestimating how evil and ambitious YOU are, George.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said without a trace of irony.

That right, George, it is a mistake. That's why the Democrats need to get off their lazy butts and impeach the deranged war criminals in the White House immediately. It can't wait. We need to be rid of these maniacs right now.

Bush is the most arrogant sob in the history of US politics. He also does not have a clue of what hard working Americans want and/or need in this country. He and all of his cronie (Cheney /Satan included)need to be impeached. This is the worst administration in American history. I pray for our children!!

It looks like Bush's brain is still the man behind the curtain. Go away Karl the days of your superficial political stunts are over. We saw in the 2004 debates that when you weren't pulling Bush's strings he bumbled around like a fool and complained about how hard his job was.

You guys made your bed, not the Dems, yet somehow you continue to invoke history to attacek the Dems while simultaneously making your own sorry history.

If we any allies besides Jamaica and Mongolia in this war on terror our budget issues wouldn't be so dire and our military forces wouldn't be left hung out to dry.

George and Karl stop the insanity.

Bush is such a waste of space. I almost wouldn't care what he says if it weren't so horribly offensive. Then again, I'm suprised he even knows who Lenin was.

Posted By Gavin, Merrillville, Indiana : November 1, 2007 10:48 pm

Bush probably thinks Lenin was married to Yoko Ono....

Let em have it with both barrels President Bush. leave them reeling from the truth. The Dem's cant take the truth they always scoff and run from the truth....

is he wrong?

Posted By Bryan Swicicki Port St Lucie FL : November 1, 2007 6:50 pm

In a word – yes.

Interestingly enough – both Hitler and Lenin arose out of broken nations that were devastated by warfare, yet were more a reaction to the broken situation – granted in the extreme. What I find interesting as well, and the politicians that like playing historian, forget to mention is that a failed powerplay in a destabilized part of the world in 1914 caused World War I. And it wasn't even the initial participants that created the world war in 1914 – it was a related nation taking a pre-emptive gambit in order to gain a "jump" on their opponents – one that failed.

You don't see too many people that love to go on and on about "appeasing" Hitler mention that fact, as apparently "it must be impossible" to repeat that bit of history.

Kucinich is right, Bush is a mentally ill

TAKES A FACIST TO KNOW A FACIST George

I aggree with Clinton on this but I still prefer Biden or obama since there not flip flopers. Clinton makes the best speaches to oppose Bush buts she always votes for his Bills???????
I oppose Iraq war!! then votes for the war
I oppose to start a war with Iran!!! then votes yes to a bill that the facist will use as justifacation for Iran invasion.

Biden or Obama for President

Lets see, Bush's family supported Hitler and it's verifiable. The Saudi's stated yesterday that they tried to warn British & american governments of 9/11 & they would not listen. Several intelligence reports have stated we knew something was about to happen but we wouldn't listen. I'm a republican and have no interest in the dem prospects. But Bush has screwed up so bad since 9/11 and tried to send propaganda and mixed messages to americans, he is a joke. I wish we would wake up and vote to bring our troops home, secure our borders, fix our economy and defend the home front. Only an idiot would say Bin Laden will get the political power that lennon and hitler recieved from thier own people.

Who listens to her hypocritical tripe? She accuses the president of "playing politics with national security and practice the politics of division". That is all the democrats have been doing for the past 4 years.

And what sort of price will the world pay for listening to the words of this evil and ambitious man, George W Bush!

Bush is yet again showing his ignorance and they fact that he prefers to keep this nation in fear. At the same time that he is promoting safety and Democracy in other countries our own is falling apart. Our Democracy has become a dictatorship, our working middle class is being eliminated and our borders are not secure. Before we can fix any other countries specific political problems,we need to focus on our own. And the global issues that effect us all...poverty, climate change, genocide...he cares more about making the rich richer and getting revenge and oil than he cares about the country he was put into office to care for. He has made a mockery of this nation.

Bush giving a history lesson on Lenin and Hitler is not as far out as it seems. He and his party have emulated those two scourges of the 20th Century.
When you have a president who spies on his own people, suspends the American justice system and is constantly preaching a fear doctrine against certain internal and external groups, you have the very same formula as those used in Russia and Germany to put totalitarian governments in place.
Also, you have the Republicans preaching a philosophy that Republicans cannot criticize other Republicans and they must march to the drum beat of the party's leaders. Sound familiar?

Hey CNN! Sorry to go off topic here, but how about some better software with which we can post our opinions? This blog is lame...

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake,"- Bush

"bin Laden to Strike US"- Presidential Daily Briefing Bush refused to read weeks before 9/11

Bush is clueless!

I agree w/ MR Bush and the analogies he used to compare these former leaders' prognostications.. they made promises, people in power failed to listen.. the result.. DEATH!

By the way if Mr. Bush is supposed to be so stupid, how is it possible for him to control and guide so many conspiracies around the globe?

Liberals will have you believe Mr. Bush is responsible for global warming, childhood promiscuity, stack market crashes and anything else that they fancy.

A Libertarian-leaning African-American who believes the Government shoud GET OUT of the peoples lives, defend the border/country and act in a way that's not detrimental to risk takers who create jobs in our economy!!

M Laurence

Bush says we should spend more time responding to warnings of terrorists than other bloggers and protester. YOU MEAN WE AREN'T? What ARE we doing? I thought that if we are in this WAR we where fighting the terrorists...George what the hell are YOU doing?

Hillary Clinton, You and the whole democratic / liberal party are the ones playing politics with national security. You voted for the war and now you are backing out ( just as you did with the hmo programs you started years ago. The Clintons also ignored all warning signs just before 9/11. So Wire tap away.

The American people deserve a President with a clear mind. Not one whos brain is fogged by drug and alcohol.

'some in Congress' does not translate into Congressional Democrats.

Your bias is much more flagrant then what you and Hillary are accusing.

Please join reality!!

Speaking of terorism – Haven't they proved 911 was a false flag- an inside job with all the thermate puddles, and the other explosions and the "looks like demolition to me" and the fact that plane fuel cannot "melt" steel?? Maybe we need an investigation by the press to get at the REAL terror truth – if only!!! Collea-Devi, Colorado

Did Bush ever conceive that he might be the analogy of Lenin or Hitler with the rationale for his actions in the world? Hmmm.....?

Then how come Bush's grandaddy helped to bankroll both the Nazis and the Bolsheviks?
Alfred Awful
Palm Beach, Florida

to Miguel Jorge:

go to http://english.aljazeera.net or if your country does not ban watch Al Jazeera Channel in English. It is much better and doesn't take one side or the other like your FOX news, CNN and other Bush/Zionist channels. Surprisingly, even Israeli's watch Al Jazeera in English but it is banned in US.

I am sure that most of you Americans will not like to hear this. We have to deal with Israel-Palestine situation with fairness and with good judgement. This is not an age where neo-conservatives can dream about what they want created as in their philosophy in PNAC. That is Greater Israel, that is remove country after country, whoever Israel believes is a threat to them. Israel dream of bombing seven countries can not succeed. If Israel can have 200+ nukes, it is natural that its neighbours feel threatened. So they will have nukes!. Not just Iran but gradually all Israel's neighbours. And we have to support blind support of Israel, whether you are Dem, repub, Indie, whatever. This Israeli craziness has to stop. Stop AIPAC, (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) from making our Foreign Policy. US Foreign Policy is US's not Israel's. What maybe good for Israel IS NOT good for US!

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake,"

Self-fulfilling prophecy, Georgie?? Time to get this mass murderer out of office...

"When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground," Bush said, "and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters."

Considering he has no clue what is actually in the Constitution, it is no surprise that he believes legislators (those elected to represent the people) should cease doing silly things like responding to the concerns of the people. Silly congress-people, don't you know Cheney voided the Constitution?

The person that should be compared to Lenin or Hitler is Bush. He and his administration have repeatedly subverted and undermined the Constitution of our great country, all in the name of "security." We the people have allowed our government to trample on our most precious birthright as Americans, the U.S. Constitution. And the sad truth is that it has not made us even remotely safer from terrorism. If we allow our fear to rule us, we will become a slave to it.

The more Bush uses historical 'analogies' to justify his reasoning, the more he undermines his own credibility (not that he has much left anyway). There's been a tendency in recent years for leaders to call upon historical events to serve as the blueprint for their actions, stating that we 'must never repeat history'. The majority of such analogies are absolutely laughable and biased. People interpret history as they please, crafting past events to serve their own template in which they emphasize specific details and ignore others. We should stay in Iraq because of what happened in Vietnam? Are you kidding me? You can more easily use Vietnam as a reason to LEAVE Iraq. Lenin and bin Laden are worlds apart from one another; their interests, reasoning, and ideologies share almost NOTHING in common. Linking Hitler to Saddam only makes you look ignorant and amateur; NO ONE can compare to Hitler. The Kurds were in a similar state to the Jews? The Kurdish protectorate has had self-rule from Saddam since 1991 when the UN crippled Iraq's sovereignty. Saddam legally could not harness his iron rule over the northern Kurdish province. He had not oppressed them since the UN's 1991 resolution, a fact few war supporters like to bring up. History cannot be simplified to cause and effect equations. Political science is not a physical science. For every historical rant this administration makes, I find myself becoming more and more ashamed of what our federal government has become.

Just so nobody forgets his very own words on the subject of Osama bin Laden two days after 9/11/2001:
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
President George W. Bush, 9/13/2001

Then six months to the day later:
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
"I am truly not that concerned about him."
President George W. Bush, 3/13/2002

These are not just "Bushisms" folks... These were statements by the President of the United States of America. And here it is six years later and Osama bin Laden still has not been found, and according to what President Bush himself said, it appears that they aren't even looking for him. So if "It's not that important" then why does he think that the Democrats are underestimating the so called "War on Terror"?

Not to mention, hasn't anyone ever explained the "Rules of Engagement" to him? One country can declare war on another country, but not on individual people! Al Qaeda is a group of people, it is not a country. And Osama bin Laden is just a guy with a lot of money. He not a President, a Head of State, or any kind of Official from any country. Thus what they did was a Criminal Act, not an Act of War. Therefore, Military Action of any kind is inappropriate.

What would be appropriate would be to send INTERPOL, the world’s largest International Police organization, after them. (We are still a member of that organization, aren't we?) Or would it be too logical to send Police after Criminals?

By crying wolf, Bush himself has turned into a werewolf and by crying over Holocaust Israeli-Firster are creating their own Holocausts all over the world. Go figure.

Politics! It's all about getting elected!

You can't look the other way...Chamberlain did, Bill Clinton did, Bush didn't! Do the math...how many attacks after 911?

Bush is definately a hypocrite. His father's father, Prescot Bush, financed Hitler's rise to power. http://usgohome.free.fr/actualite/revelation_english.htm
Were it not for President Bush's grandfather, there would have been no concentration camps, no slaughter of over 6 million Jews and millions of others, including homosexuals, people with learning disabilities and others.

Bush's grandfather also conspired to overthrow the US government and assinate FDR to install a Nazi regime in the US. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/document/document_20070723.shtml

It is time to rid our nation of the Bush family as they have only caused harm to the US.

Congress must find Bush guilty of crimes against the state.

What has the idiot Bush done for our country? Triple the price of gasoline. Kill more than 3,000 young Americans in foreign wars. Mame more that 10 times that amount. Drive the dollar into 3rd world status. Make our country the laughing stock of the world. Drive away foreign tourists.

And on and on.

George W. Bush is a failure. If he intentionally did this then he is also a traitor.

Let us say good bye to Bush.

Bush is amazing, its like if Hitler called Stalin the next Napoleon. The US is the actively expanding global empire at this point, we hold a more simillar position to those past empires than do some little anti-imperialist religious extremists living in caves fighting inside of their own region. We bombed them regularly for 100 years, and they hit us back once, because of the Bush's incompitent leadership on 911. It took them 100 years to make one attack that had less effect than any number of our own against them, and we are still succeptible to this fear game, X-raying our shoes at the airport, & throwing out our drinks so we can buy new ones at inflated prices on the other side of the security check. That wouldn't stop anything from happening anyway, if the threat even existed, it would take another route next time anyway. Just relax and stop being played for fools. The land of the brave is acting like little bedwetters. Help us daddy the boogie man is gonna get us

So she slams Bush and then has her campaign committee (The South Carolina Democratic Party)keep Stephen Colbert off their ballot? The SS would be proud!

GB would be blogging too if he knew how to use the "internets"!

Bush is a puppet being told what to say by the corporations that run the world, some of the same ones we are supposedly fighting a war against

The fact that he actually says what they tell him to say shows he really is mentally ill

So Kucinich says Bush is mentally ill, and none of the other Democrats disagree with him.
Democrats have controlled both Houses for a year now.
One of the roles of Congress is to monitor the performance of the President and bring impeachment proceedings where the President is unable to perform, for example mental incapacity.

So to all you good Democrats out there, instead of whining to CNN, right to your Congressman or Senator, or even those great Americans Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid demanding they introduce impeachment proceedings right now.

Otherwise shut the fxxk up.

And the US subsidized both Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein's WMD program under Ronald Reagan. Is Bush comparing the dear old conservative to a facist? We started our troubles and we think that by infringing on rights that we will stop terrorists? You can't fight an ideal. You can't fight terrorism. This is not your grandfather's war. Stop comparing this war to WWII or the Cold War. Shame on you, President Bush.

I said it once, and I will say it again: Hilary Clinton lacks integrity, leadership ability, conviction, shame, dignity, and scientific knowledge and insight of the future. As a matter of fact, no candidate abounds that has the ability to lead this nation. Hilary and her spouse should have just disappeared into the darkness of Arkansas, never to be heard or seen from again, but they are both unscrupoulous and haughty.

In the 2000s people are not ignoring the reprehensible actions of George Bush. How may people, America's children and the many innocence people in Iraq have to die before we stop this lunacy? History will not look favorably upon this President. I capitalize that word out of respect for the office, not the holder of it.

Bush is nothing but a puppet president... he says what he is told to say and doesn't really have any clear understanding of what he is saying. We ARE, RIGHT NOW, basically living under a fascist government. One he helped to create. And yet, he probably doesn't even understand or even care to understand what this means.

I want to know why Pelosi and Reed took Impeachment off the table?They wanted to run Clinton out on a rail for a "LITTLE STAINED DRESS"??? Somethin dont smell right in Berlin and its not the cheese!

"I don't really think about [Osama bin Laden] very much. I'm not that concerned." – George W. Bush

I thought Republicans took a hissy fit the last time a democrat mentionned the word "Nazi"? Double standard again?
And brownie points for Bush -he mentionned move on and code pink together in the same sentence...I bet he is really proud of himself over that little coup.

If you know how Hitler got on Power and what he did to enable Nazi become popular you'll know that George Bush himself is Hitler.

Hear hear! I hope Americans don't refuse to listen to this intelligent and important warning that George Bush is giving us! Ignore Radical Islamic Agendas at great peril.

Please don't vote for Hillary Clinton.

Although she is probably just saying these things to get elected, and will probably actually NOT pull the troops out of Iraq (for example).

But is that the kind of approach we want from a President?

According to the University of Delaware, Hillary and her husband are RACISTS.

Here is the excerpt from the Univ. of Delaware Document:

"A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities or acts of discrimination. (This does not deny the existence of such prejudices, hostilities, acts of rage or discrimination.)"

So since she is privileged, of European descent, and living in the US, according to the Univ of Delaware she and Bill are racists. It must be true since who is to argue with an institution of higher education?

Historically, I don't think Hitler and Lenin were ignored. America was weary of entering another European conflict after the first World War and was not the global leader it is today. Lenin, though not trusted, was strategically necessary to combat Nazi Germany on the Eastern front. Perhaps, President Bush should review his history – then maybe he would have anticipated the mess that has traditionally followed Western countries invading the Mideast; experiences that France or Britain know well enough.

Thank God Hillary is keeping her eye on the ball, namely this corrupt administration that has been built on nothing but lies and distortions. The Bushies keep on talking like people are listening. Guess what? we are not listening and we don't believe you. Now if we can just get the rest of the Dems to focus on what is truly important and stop trying to cut the legs out from each other we can succeed in getting rid of these rotten scoundrels!

p.s. That was a pile on last night at the debate. Totally unfair. Hillary gets pushed and pushed and Obama gets asked what he's going to wear for Halloween. Give me a break. Anyways, Hillary is a classy lady and she'll rise above it. I thought she held her own quite well given the circumstances. And I want to ask if she has such a hard time communicating according to all the gentleman on stage then why do enough people understand her that she is leading in all the polls? How do you rectify that. Obviously all those millions and millions aren't having a problem understanding her. I think Edwards, Obama, Tim Russert wanted to have a problem understanding.

no shock here that bush doesn't know his russian history. you think putin would call sam adams a terrorist? communist or not lenin saved us from the tsars, it isn't his fault stalin was corrupt, lenin even recommended stalin be banned but died and the order wasn't carried out. try again george.

The Bush haters and the standard "I loathe the military" & perjury is okay Clinton crowd is, of course, free to say whatever they want; but the analogy to appeasing Hitler is not that far off. The House Democratic Whip admitted that as things get better in Iraq, it hurts the Democratic Party.

Reasonable people can differ on whether Operation Iraqi Freedom was a good idea, but it is not a good idea to revise recent history to support a particular view. While the expected levels of WMD were not found, it is worth remembering that before the war, the former Iraqi government could not account for the WMD that it admitted it had.

Many look back at Operation Desert Storm and claim that it serves as a proper template for the commitment of forces because it had widespread domestic support. However, if anyone would bother to check, on 12 Jan 91, when the U.S. Sentate voted to authorize the use of force 4 days before the air campaign was secheduled to begin, the resolution passed by the slim margin of 52 to 47. That's hardly much of an endorsement.

As long as the liberal media and the anti-Bush crowd continue to hope that terrorist do well in Iraq and in other parts of the world, they will have trouble gaining support beyond the Code Pink freaks and moveon.org.

Is it any wonder that Democrats don't want to count military ballots?

As an aside, Code Pink likes to protest outside Walter Reed Army Hospital. They often pick Fridays because that is a popular time for family members to visit wounded soldiers. The Code Pink members hold up signs that say things like, "Maimed for Lies" and place flag-draped mock caskets on the sidewalk.

Gotta watch out for people like Hitler. Hitler arranged a national tragedy then used patriotism to get his people to be okay with his extreme pieces of legislation. He made secret camps where he tormented innocents that he considered the enemy without letting his people know what he was truly doing there. He used 'pre-emptive strikes' as a reason to invade other nations, because surely they were a threat to his great nation.
Here's a mirror Bush, have a look! Maybe you are the one they should be seeing as a threat.

I have to say that while I'm not fan of Bush, I think it's stupid to say that he is at all like Hitler or Lenin, just as it is stupid for him to compare those two dictators to the like of Bin Laden. Does Bush use some authoritarian means in governing that we should be concerned about such as warrantless wiretapping and the use of torture on prisoners of war (er, enemy combatants)? Yes. Is he planning a massive genocide of some minority group targeted expressly because they are part of that minority group? Is he planning to launch a war of expansion, moving into Canada and Mexico to provide Americans with "living space"? Is he evil incarnate? No.

Bush knows what happens when you don't heed the threats of terrorists. He did it before 9/11. (See: previous adminstration, CIA, FBI and foreign intelligence on an imminent U. S. attack before 9/11)

Can't admit it, can you CNN ? You really like to control the news, don't you ? I guess that is why you would like these Hitler stories so well. Please rename yourself, the HNN for Hitler News Network

Thank you Hillary for staying focused on what is important, unlike your loser rivals Edwards and Obama who now can only focus on trying to undermine you. You were the only leader on that stage Tuesday-and you continue to focus on what is important!! I cannot wait until you are president and get these corrupt bums out of the White House.

You know what, Maybe He's right. Because if this Iraq cannot be accomplished then America will be 0 for 4 in this half century, because if the job is not done then it is lost like Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. WHy do you continue to ignore what he is saying, because you have already percieved Hillary Clinton's word more powerful than the Commander and Chiefs. I would also like to point out why is it okay to take jabs at republicans or conservatives but it is blasphemy to ridicule a Democrat. And don't deny that it is true. Give me a reason. She's not President Yet. So i have one more year left to live in America so don't screw it up. Hello Canada!

I think CNN should change its name to Hitler News, they way they like to control the news. How pathetic. Way to go CNN, I am embarrassed for all Americans.

Can someone please explain to me how refusing to sign a bill that makes it easier for our government to monitor terrorists is any different than appeasing Nazis? I think Bush is right.

What class "President" Bush has...

The President is correct. And hillary is an idiot.

Speaking of history, Bush's predecessor Reagan is the guy that backed bin Laden, uning similar, flawed logic!

There was a NY Times bestseller a few years ago called "The Secret War Against the Jews" by Aaron and Loftus. They describe in excruciating detail how a Wall Street firme called Sullivan and Cromwell sent billions to Nazi Germany during the 1930's. The principal of that firm responsible for that Nazi account was George Walker Bush, W's grandfather. That money put the Nazi's in power, and kept them in power. That much money leaving the U.S. during the Great Depression could very well have caused World War II itself.

Hillary is the only Democrat telling the truth besides Joe Biden ofcourse on Bush and his war. Obama and Oprah say they are more than one way to get to GOD! I want them two to explain what other ways are there to the people. Obama wants to blame Hillary for Bush`s and his aides on their war. But she believed Bush as most of the people did. We were all lied to Obama. You and Edwards need to define what you do best and we the people are not falling for your bag of tricks blaming Hillary for Bush. She is a Christian and knows that through Jesus we get to God, and not other ways as Obama and his Oprah has stated and Oprah did not know the girls at her school were being raped? Her tears were as on a movie role. Go after them all Hillary.

You people better get with it. I do not agree with the analogy President Bush made, but look at it this way. Iran is an extremely unstable state. We need to cut off their power before they achieve anymore because if we wait to long then Iran will have a strong foothold in power. There was a scientific pole done and almost 55% said that it is necessary that we target Iran's nuclear facilities. Except if and when the war with Iran makes a turn for the worst, most of you would blame it on the president and act as though you were never for the invasion of Iran. The same thing that happend in Iraq. Most of you wanted America to attack Iraq, but as soon as the war went south so did your opinion of the war!!!!

God please won't someone take this guy by the nap of the neck and slap him silly. He has no business being in office let alone running what use to be the greatest country in the World.
The U.S. cannot take another day of this moron let alone another year. Grow some Democrats or come 08 maybe we should just skip having a Prez and VP and let the govenor's run the States and elect a ten member panel, four Dems, four Repubs and Two indep. let them put together policy and the Congress and Senate vote on it. Because to live through another Prez and VP like the two we have had will finish off the U.S. completely.

To Jody in Reno:

Many companies and people did business with Germany before World War II. Look at the Kennedys.

Am I missing something here? Bush said( and I am paraphrasing) that if we underestimate evil, it can harm us. So he is saying that Congress failed to act on intelligence legislation, which can hurt us.

So is Senator Clinton against improving our Intelligence capabilities? That is what I am reading here.

President George Bush's intention on surveillance are noble. No doubt about that.

However in every speech President delivers, he refers to current surveillance program as terrorist-surveillance.

The tendency to label each subject under surveillance as terrorist, is a fallacy on part of President Bush and his advisors.

Surveillance is put in place to gather information that would in some way enable law enforcement agencies, to gather data, that law enforcement agencies could not gather otherwise through other legal means.

A case in point of indiscriminate use of surveillance, years ago on my visits to let us say a buddy of mine, during conversations, this supposed buddy would awkwardly start a questioning pattern, that would be out of place in a normal conversation. It was only much later (years later) that I discovered that my buddy's house has been bugged by his/her employer. And discovering such fact explained awkward behaviour patterns.

President Bush and employers have to realize that they are killing normal social behavior and by encouraging indiscrimate surveillance, are setting up an unhealthy environment that encourages unhealthy social behavior or unhealthy business meeting encounters.

A society shaped by suspicion and unhealhty social encounters, is self destructive and more prone to damage from its own mistrust than external threats.

This is the reason a lot of prople don't vote. It is a bunch of he said, she said crap. 90% of the "Law Makers" in this country are nothing but a bunch of suck-up liers that need to be FIRED ( Voted out of office ) and replaced.

Leave it to Bush to make such a comment. Bush, the one responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women, and children in the Middle East.

It's to bad that a Presidential canidate cant be smarter about terrorist, who want to kill Americans. President Bush is correct in assuming that terrorists want to kill us. The Democrats need to open their eyes to the problem and come up with a way to protect us americans. They want to condemn the President of all actions, but offer no solutions. They do have their eyes shut and fail to see any problems, other than wanting to raise taxes. Its time now not later to do something to prevent american deaths.

Most Americans are just so ignorant of history. Unfortunately is not funny. Condolesa Rice is not any better, and she calls herself a professor of history. Please teach your people some history, may be after that, they may have some more common sense.

THERE HILLARY GOES AGAIN LETTING HER MOUTH OVERLOAD HER BEHIND.YOU CAN TELL WHEN SHE LIES, HER LIPS START MOVING.

"There is something very wrong going on here in America, where Americans are concerned with terrorism abroad yet at the very foundation of this country corporate terrorism is becoming a chronic symptom that is terrorizing men, women, children and families – stealing their pensions, benefits, health and welfare – stealing their way of life, their standard of life, wherein these companies hide behind unions, archaic labor laws, high-priced corporate lobbyists, charities, social and political organizations with donations, buyouts and givebacks to protect this new kind of terrorism that steals everything they worked hard to earn. It is an assault upon the American Worker to the nth degree. These corporations have learned well it’s much cheaper to buy off at the top of the organizational level than to pay off many more and much more at the lower individual level. At this point in time in America, they well understand there is no voice for the American Worker or his/her family...to hear their plight or give justice to their voice."

Check out some of the tricks, fliers and statements the GOP is already running on Clinton's driver license comment.

Yes George Bush. Good reasoning. With the dawning of the 20th century, Russians and the world at large ignored Lenin's drive towards a Communist state. Then, again, in the 20's the world at large ignored Hitler's intentions to form an Aryan state and exterminate the Jews.
Please, do, George continue that line of thinking to today, except substitute Osama with George Bush. The guy in the mirror aims to eliminate the Constitution and usurp in a period of American history when civil right are a microcosm of what they used to be, to lie and act as the worst criminal in the guise of Democracy, worse that Hitler and all the others.

Lennon? Hitler? How many have died at Osamba Bin Ladan's order?? How many have died at Pres. Bush's order?? Something to think about!

It is a shame that our President has to use fear as a tool today. The difference between comparing Lenin and Hitler with bin Laden is that those two men were trying to overthrow their own governments in time change. While we are in a time of change here in America, I do not foresee a change in politics led by bin Ladin. There could of been any number of better analogies used by our Yale educated Commander-in-Chief could of used; if indeed he was referring to a chaotic topple of the U.S. government. William the Red, Charles Taylor and the RUF, Genghis Khan, etc. other men who have led wars to overthrow leaders/governments that they oppose.

Bush is such a waste of space. I almost wouldn't care what he says if it weren't so horribly offensive. Then again, I'm suprised he even knows who Lenin was.

How very odd that this delusional man talks about Osama bin Laden as being such a threat, yet when he had the chance to capture him, he parceled out the job to Afghan warlords, in effect letting bin Laden escape.
Instead of going after bin Laden in Afghanistan, he and his chickenhawk cabinet launched an illegal, immoral and unprovoked invasion of the soverign nation of Iraq. Why did he drop the ball on the "war on terror?"
If he insists on invoking Hitler, a more apt comparison would be bush/ Hitler and their criminal invasions of soverign nations.
I am sick to death of this hypocritical monster questioning people's patriotism. Where was he when his country called for service in Vietnam?
And this man has the gall to call himself a christian?(!) If you believe that, then you must also believe that he is a uniter and not a divider.
Geesh, how stupid does he think us freedom loving Americans are? HIPOCRYTE!

Sen Clinton is right about this. The threats of Hitler and Stalin were not like the threat of terrorism. First, Germany, Russia, and Japan had massive armies, navys, and air forces. They were preparing for a stand-up fight with forces arrayed on battlefields. They planned a military conquest of enemy nations.

Islamic terrorists, on the other hand, appear, destroy or damage a target that may be of little military value, and disappear back into the peaceful population. Hitler and Stalin wanted to destroy American military assets. Terrorists are happy to bomb a hotel, a kindergarten class, or a bus.

We are not going to be able to kill all the terrorists. We tried that in Iraq, and now there are ten times as many terrorists as there were before, even though Iraq's army was smashed early and quickly.

The solution to terrorism is to provide the broader Islamic population with an alternative path to security and prosperity. This will take a few generations to do. It will require long planning and infinite patience – something that neither our leaders nor ordinary Americans have much of.

It is worth mentioning that our two greatest Liberal presidents, Roosevelt and Truman, were the men who confronted Hitler and Stalin. FDR dealt with Nazi Germany. President Truman (and his Secretary of State Dean Acheson) conceived the containment of Communism policy that ultimately led to the collapse of the USSR during the Bush (the good one) Administration. The Truman Administration then confronted Communism in China, Greece, Turkey, Italy and Korea (the last four are now strong democracies) while it rebuilt England, Germany, Italy, and Japan.

During that time Conservatives do what Conservatives do best: criticize, complain, obstruct, and prevent.

You tell 'em Hilliary ! But while you are on the history lesson, do you know how may counties are in Iowa, is is the same number of counties as Germany has ?

Criticize all you want, Hillary, but President Bush is right on target.

Amazing how Hillary can bash Bush when there are hundreds of pictures out there with them both celebrating so many events together.

Oh yea thats what the powers to be like to do to the masses to keep them confused and thinking they are enemies, when in reality they are best of friends working together with the military industrial complex and breaking americans by putting us in such deep debt with their chinese friends.

The sad part is how so many fall for this ploy. I just cring every time i go to a blog, where simple minded americans who are republicans, attack other simple minded democrats.

Bush is such an idiot. What were the people thinking (Bush voters that is)
when they voted him back in office.
He radiates stupidity and ignorance.
To think that there are even bigger idiots out there that actually believe his spin!
He is mentally ill with illusions of grandeur with overtones of paranoia.
He is a pathological liar.
He makes me want to vomit.

Hillary – "Americans are tired of the president’s efforts to play politics with national security and practice the politics of division."

So Hillary, is that why the Democrats obstinately and recklessly sought to Anger and Strain Relations with a Key Ally such as Turkey?

Before you talk about National Security , consider the risks your party just put our troops in…

Anyone hear the speech? The audience roared with applause, stood up in their chairs and stomped their feet.

The more audacious the lie, the louder the applause.

It's too hyperbolic to even be very funny, the idea that some (long-dead) Muslim in a cave in Pakistan has the same power as leader of two of the world's greatest armies.

Bush is nuts.

Bush and his master Dick Cheney have clearly studied the excesses of Lenin and Hitler and are experts on the topic as demonstrated by their brain child the Patriot Act. Unfortunately the American people have not learned from the past or they would drag both of these would be dictators out of their White House and EOB offices and string them up from lamp posts.

God i dispise this left winged, ego tistical, hypocrit that the drive by media kisses ass too. I am comparing her to my mentaly disabled female dog who cant stop barking nonsense like hillary the goddes of imbosols and wife of the oral experiment of monicas biiiilllllll!

thank you Clinton News Network

Bush is so the anti-christ...or just very stupid. How dare he put hitler in the same as bin laden.

I think GWB should go back to study history. This is coming out of the mouth of a person who believes that we could have won the war in vietnam only if we had more troops deployed. So, he definetely does not learn from the history. Ultimately, he has zero credibility left to speak on this matters.

Andy

Typical Bush-if he can't get what he wants, use the terror card and frighten Congress into submission-I feel that he is more like Hitler than anyone in Iraq or Iran, after all, he wants to wipe out any regime that disagrees with his intent to "spread democracy" by whatever means, and he has no sense of any other country's traditions or ways-his must be better. To other countries, that seems like terrorism. To other countries, Bush's threats against Iran seem like terrorism. The real threat to this country lies right on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Manipulator Law #1: When losing, use a Hitler analogy or quote to throw opponent into questionable light. What a stupid and blatant tactic by a stupid and blatant politician.

Well, Mr. President, you need a history lesson. Hitler didn't just come out an announce he was going to do all those things. In fact, the death camps were a big secret, although we were learning some details during the war, some 15 or so years after your timeframe.

Also, if we're trying to stop bin Laden, then why have we basically left Afganistan as a holding action? The truth is, you have ignored bin Laden and his threat to follow the agenda of your cronies.

You are a disgrace and a hypocrite.

Talk about a pot calling the kettle black! Bush has made it clear he wants a Christian Nation, that he has plans for Democracy to rule the Middle East even if the Middle Eastern people don't want it. If ever there was a fitting "it takes one to know one" it is Bush talking about Hitler, Lenin and Stalin. As for Osama bin Laden ... where is he Mr. Bush? Why have you let the single greatest mass murderer of US civilians go free for the past six years? Maybe because he is of great and useful purpose to you, just as the Communists were to the Nazis and the Czar and his family to the Communists? Perhaps that is why for the past six years you've done NOTHING to try to locate and bring him to justice.

Last time I checked, Hitler and Lenin had sharp words for those who opposed them. I am so surprised history can be repeated.

my my my my...is this an grown up campaign for President of the United States or a CNN sponsored childish playground where they argue about meaningless history lessons ?

Now we should understand, a "Mother's Right To Choose" thus becoming pregnant! G.W. needed to be abortioned! and this is what one gets with out a Condom! Thank You Geo.Walker Bush

Some people, like the President, ignore symptoms of the rise of facism in the US – acceptance of torture, restriction on freedom of speech and of the press, abandonment of the constitutional principles that have made this country a beacon of freedom.
If we make it to the mid 21st century with our constitutional rights intact, it will be thanks to MoveOn, Code Pink, and the others who, in groups or individually, dare to speak out.

Bush is the one who conducted a blitzkrig war against Iraq. He is more like Hitler than Hitler.

"...opposed to his terrorist-surveillance program"

Mr. Mooney and CNN, It is a warrantless surveillance program and that's the problem. We don't know if everyone under surveillance is a terrorist. If you feel so compelled to repeat this administration's Orwellian speech and cannot practice real journalism maybe you should get yourself into another profession real quick, one where you cannot mislead people and damage the country.

Bush should take note of how much his administration is a mirrow image of Hitler's Nazi Party, trashing the constitution, denigrating anyone who take issue with him and his cronies, and ruling through fear. How dare he call the kettle black!

What is happening? None of Hillary's haters can find something wrong in what she said? or perhaps you should wait for Obama or Edwards to explain you her words and re-interpret them with their wisdom.

"When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground," Bush said,'

Wow, it's almost laughable it it wasn't so incredibly horrifying ...
Wasn't it Bush himself who completely ignored the threats of Osama bin Laden AND the requests of 'commanders on the ground' (the intelligence community and things like the now famous warning that appeared in a presidential briefing) that led to 9-11 ??

I mean talk about calling the kettle black !!!

And comparing defending constitutionally guaranteed liberties to being pro- Hitler !!!

how's this :
"Strength lies not in defense but in attack."
or
"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one."
or "The victor will never be asked if he told the truth."

Sound familiar ? they are quotes from Hitler.

And isn't the Bush administration that is attempting to use the same tactics of fear, division and impending doom that Hitler used ?

Isn't it Bush that is saying "give up your liberties so we can protect you from those that would take your liberties' ? Much as Hitler and Lenin did ?

In America, we used to decry and condemn those countries that spied on their citizens, vilified dissenters, ruled by fear and intimidation, tortured, lied, kept secret the workings of their governments, practiced aggression, favored the elite.. those whos leaders acted above the law and outside the confnes and oversight of the legal system, and many other disdainful practices. Now, thanks to Bush, we have become that country.

And he has the gall to compare those trying DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION and reinstate a democratic process and government to Hitler ???

Horrifying !

It wasn't so much that "the world" "ignored" Lenin. The Germans actually helped Lenin to return to Russia so that he could launch his October Revolution, which would solve a rather pressing short-term problem for Germany– knocking Russia out of WWI. Stalin of course wasn't "ignored" either; rather he was treated as a key ally in the pressing short-term matter of defeating Hitler. Not even Hitler was "ignored": many non-fascist conservatives in Europe and the US thought of him as a strong ally against the threat of socialism/ communism. Similarly, throughout the 1980s, America didn't "ignore" Saddam Hussein, but treated him as an ally in the effort to keep radical Islam (Iran) in check.

For someone who is supposed to be so "tough," President Bush sure seems afraid of everything.

Oh, and President Bush: you had a chance to capture Osama Bin Laden. You keep saying you "don't think about him that much," and then you say we should be afraid of him. Which is it.

The man who is responsible for the deaths of 10s or 100s of thousands is George W. Bush. He's the one of whom we should be most afraid.

How typical that Hillary Clinton would ignore the truth of the Presidents statements just to make a political point.

"...practice the politics of division"? Isn't that exactly what she is doing?

We can expect a lot of that from her. Just like the last time a Clinton was in the White House.

Typical mainstream story. I thought this was about Clinton's response to Bush. Turned out to be 20% her response, 80% Bush.

This guy is a moron, but Shrillary is shooting the messenger while ignoring the message.

Everyone scoffed at Lenin and then Hitler as they spewed their hateful words and taunts, s they were only braggerts.

His point is that if we ignore Iran and North Korea (who Rice and company did a great job with) etc, etc, we are doomed to make the same mistakes.

I know it is not a nuanced double-speak statement like all of yours are, it is just a simple one, from yes, a REAL SIMPLE man.

I'll make it sound smart just for you Shrill, He who doesn't learn from past mistakes, is doomed to repeat them.

So we get a history lesson from a "C" student? Its funny how he forgot to mention about his grandfather being one of Hitler's best buddies, and his banker during his little hissy fit to the Heritage Sycophant & Moralist Society. Yesterday he said "Congress is going nowhere and going alone," and now he's having another tantrum because Congress won't give him what he demands. Try holding your breath!

Just who the hell does he think he is? Is that all you got George? You're worried about Osama NOW? You weren't so worried about him BEFORE?!?! Or do you just like using his name so you can froth-up your brain-dead followers? You are a pitiful excuse for a human being and a perfect example of a meathead – dead from the neck up.

But then, what else could one expect coming from the fetid mouth of a demagogue and would-be tyrant?

No one's falling for your BS and lies anymore George. Some of us have known what you are all along. And the others are now awakened! And remember this, mental disassociation is justification for removal from office. You're losing it buddy. So just keep it up......

When Bush talks you have to wear boots.
When you fight a war you moblize the country, you don't tell the people to go shopping.
When you fight an optional war [Iraq] you don't send your soldiers into battle, lacking the proper equipment.
When rebuilding a country [Iraq] you don't select people for that task based on loyalty, the critera is competence.
You don't award the nations highest civilian award to the person who headed the intelligence agency that
got it wrong.
But most of all you must obey the constitution the cornerstone of our country, the United States of America.
Your actions to date demonstrate that you believe that the ends justifies the means, and that you are above the law. Your mentor Jesus, did he believe that also?
If you would have listen to your generals then we would have had enough troops on the ground in Iraq and the insurgency would not have happened. How many soldiers would be alive today, but fot the sake of your incompetency?

hmmm...a little too close to home, eh?

If anyone is playing politics, it sound like Hillary. Bush is making some serious sense.

I usually don't stick up for Bush, but why are Bush's historical analogies "faulty and offensive?" Additionally, why does Hillary act like she can defend us any better than Bush can. Honestly, I rather be on the offensive than on the defensive against terrorism. Oh, and in as much as it concerns current world threats, terrorism, by far, trumps global warming. I haven't seen Manbearpig. Have you?

Mr. Bush is a sad, ignorant, mentally unstable, and dangerous man. Bush's actions will bring about the destruction of our country. God help us.

What makes anyone think G.W. Bush knows anything about history, well maybe about Hitler since his grand pappy helped finance the early days of the Nazi Party. I am not making that up for my conservative friends, just Google it.

is that not the pot calling the kettle black?

um...

by his reasoning, wouldn't that make President Bush Hitler?

personally, i think he came out with the short stick.

In regards to the elect ability of Hillary...
I am a Republican looking/willing to vote for a Democrat candidate that will end the war. Hillary has "no" cross party appeal. Any other candidate I would vote for. If she becomes the Democratic Candidate, I will go back and vote Republican. Even my Democrat friends say she is "evil".

If allmost all of the 9/11 terrorists were saudi's and allmost half of the people we are fighting in Iraq are saudi,s then why are we going after everyone but saudi's?

Hello CNN: Amazing (well, not really) that George Bush should make an attempt to create an historic analogy to illustrate a modern problem and miss the mark so thoroughly. Actually, he is probably more right than he knows comparing Clinton, et al to those that did not do enough to blunt the rise of Hitler in 1930s Germany. The fact is, it was German conservatives that brought about the rise of Hitler (supposedly believing they could "control" him when he took power). This guy is so ignorant that he does not even realize that he is talking about the need (at that time, and probably today as well) to prevent people exactly like him from having any control in modern day social, political, and foreign policy decisions. To quote Kaiser Wilhelm during WWI when referring to his less than useless Ausrian-Hungarian allies, having George Bush in the driver's seat is like "being fettered to a corpse". Wise up folks! The 19th century mentality of the modern conservative will only continue to embarrass us, endanger us, and erode our credibility on the world stage.

Bush is right on the money with his analogies and Hilary's response is not even close to being considered a "slam on Bush". In fact, her response is weak and pathetic.

Bush is definitely not someone who should bring up the specter of Hitler. He's used Hitler's rise to power as a blueprint for his own presidency; even clueless Americans are going to figure it out if he keeps mentioning Hitler.

It should come as no surprise that someone, a President in fact didn't know where Israel was, is an insult to UT for educating him. I would enjoy hearing how his father or senior members of his own party would react to this display of ignorance. Just wait until he leaves office and the worlds people won't remember who we said he was.

Hillary has done NOTHING but criticize and undermine America's war effort against terrorism. Let us hear what her plans are to combat the terrorist threat against the United States and the its allies and our interests all over the world? American media stinks, they are rooting for the enemy...just remember the enemy is just around the corner and maybe they are already in your neighborhood waiting to create an explosion, mayhem, chaos reminiscent of the World Trade Center, Pentagon, Madrind, Bali, and many others. Wake up American media this is a war that we should win. Look at Al Jazeera who are they rooting for?

Wow. now, that's kind of harsh words from Bush. did it come to this?

Clinton is full of it and I can't believe people believe this. If we can't learn from history, why do we study it??

Bush is comparing Lenin to the terrorists? Maybe Stalin. Lenin didn't have purges. Stalin did. If our president is going to be make historical comparisons (incorrectly at that) maybe he should choose the right players.

Right on Pres, the likes of Bin Laden will stop at nothing until their will is done, which is death to America, it doesn't matter if we leave or not, they will still want us dead, they've wanted us dead for decades, look at what happened over the years, they have been attacking us and nobody did anything until 9 11. Nobody seemed to care because it didn't happen here. We are sending them a very strong message not to mess with us. One thing about this Pres is he doesn't change his mind to please who ever he happens to be talking to at the time, he has stayed steady in what he believes in, protecting this country.

Mean while, a half trillion dollars later, Osama bin Laden is still sitting and laughing at our administration.
If only Bush would take his own advise!
(I don't its the Democrats that have a problem)

It boggles the mind that Bush would dare to use any analogy related to Hitler. Falsehoods provided to the public as a reason to invade Iraq bring to mind falsehoods provided as a reason for invading Poland. Beyond that, Bush shares the same madness.

Truth hurts don't it, Mrs. Bill Clinton

With the congress rating as low as it is and being that we are still in a war of terror George Bush is right on the money.

How many times must we hear Senator Clintons Bush bash sessions? She is once again using him as a crutch to offset her own folly. Tuesdays debate will clearly vouch for this comment.

If Bush wants to make a comparison to "evil, ambitious men" and their fascist regimes that engage in illegal and immoral acts, he only needs to look in the mirror. The mistake of the Democrates, Republicans, and American people in general is not that of underestimating the terrorists; it is underestimating the criminals holding our highest offices, and not seeing the damage they are doing and have done. It will take decades to undo the destruction Bush has brought upon this country, and the scars he will leave upon the Middle East will doubtfully ever heal properly.

Bush's words are true, and Hillary is trying to twist them into something they weren't. I'm not buying what she's selling.

Hillary is going to have problems going forward now that more of America can see her indecisive decision making skills exhibited in her debate performance the other night.

She can say what she wants, but the comparison to Hitler's rise and the Islamic revolutionary movement have much in common and if she doesn't see that, she must have skipped her history classes in high school and college.

Her bashing of Bush will keep her in good graces with Move.org, but I think the American people are seeing that she WILL NOT BE TOUGH ON TERRORISM.

As scary as Hillary Clinton's ideas and positions are, Bush is again sounding like an idiot. Funny he should make comparisons to Hitler when his overreaching power moves are more in line with a dictatorship than a democratically elected president. All in the name of supposed national security? BS. I personally don't think he's made the U.S. any safer. If anything , he's only fueled the world's hatred of America. He's an embarrassment to the U.S. and we will be paying for his mistakes for a long time. Remember, this arrogant joke of a man failed at EVERY business venture he ever entered(maybe excepting the Texas Rangers)and his Presidency is no different.

Why must my son be allowed to speak on his own?

Someone tell Bush that Hitler & Stalin rose to power from WITHIN their respective nations when they hyped foriegn & domestic threats & demonized anyone who questioned them. There are more analogies between Hitler & Bush during these past 7 yrs. than under any period of U.S. history since WW11. TRUE conservatives(Ron Paul,Pat Buchannan) have recognized this but Neo-Cons & win- at-all cost Republicans are turning a blind eye;another similarity to 1930 Germany.

The Arrogant blasphemys the Arrogant.Has he not taken the whole case of terror almost by himself? Are not his vetos pertaining to the withdrawal of our troops only standing in his favor because the Citizens needs 2/3 of the vote instead of just the majority? Are his parents and wife toasting to his decision? A rude awakening is promised to him and his family by america's citizens.

Hm...Bush actually has a point here for once. While not everyone agrees with the war on terror, and almost everyone can admit that there are problems with how it has been executed, Bush's analagy actually rings true, at least partly. Democrats keep siding with Ahmedinejad when he says that his intentions are peaceful, but we know him to be an evil dictator. We made the same mistake with Lenin and Hitler, and they werent even evil dictators yet....it seems to me like it should be even more clear now than then what should be done. Hillary, you're an idiot.

Hillary is absolutely right – bush is without any credibility – a man who would start a war for oil profits is just the type of person he describes!

George Bush is a complete failure, he failed to get the terrorist responsible for 9/11, he is failing in Afghanistan, he has been bankrupting the country with tax relief for the rich and he has alienated our country from our allies!

Bush needs to concentrate real hard and look at America and for God's sake help the majority of the citizens and forget the last few pennies he can steal for his rich friends.

This liberal bashing crap has to stop, it's george and dick destroying this country and their fight against our enemies is a total failure. We cannot continue to throw our national wealth away on foolish endeavors, we need to find the "real" enemies in Afghanistan.

Someone should ask Bush if he bothered to listen to his commanders before invading Iraq it seems pretty hypocritical to say now we need to listen to our military commanders when even Bush himself disregarded their advice to launch this "blood for oil" war.

Hmmm... Bush is back with his fantasies again.

With the current estimated cost of the war... we could of completely freed ourselves from middle east energy period... an historic opportunity was lost so Bush and his friends could grow rich.

hillary must come to two realizations in the next year plus...you are not running against Bush and sooner or later you will HAVE to answer a question..ALSO hope and pray they don't release those archive records...everyone over 40 knows the problem they would be for you and bubba

not that long ago bush was asked whats the status of bin laden and he said he was not a threat anymore and he was not concerned. what a flip flopper and a major disappointment bush is.

George Bush is not running for President. He won two Presidential elections......get over it.

Hillary should concentrate on passing out Drivers Licences to illegals and withholding documents on her role in the Clinton Administration.

What a leader...what a pathetic joke.

How are Bush's comments faulty or offensive? He just explained actual historical events.

Bush should know about those who ignored the rise of Hitler, since his grandfather, Prescott Bush, was an appeaser of the Hitler regime right up until the start of WWII. Prescott did business with the Nazi's and made alot of money with the Nazi's. He was a Nazi sypathizer.

Isn't it amazing? The President, for no identifiable reason other than he happens to be a Republican, can't open his mouth to cough or raise his hand to sneeze without Hillary going into a rant about how his doing so is part of her "vast right-wing conspiracy" that's out to get her and all other Democrats. Did she actually LISTEN to the words of what he happened to say? They happened to make sense.

Methinks the lady protesteth too much.

I wonder if George Bush knows what a blog is?

What a nut case! Because of his anti-communism, illegal invasions, disrespect for international law, respect for torture, concentration camps, and support for the rich capitalist class, he is more like Hitler than anyone since! And we're not even talking about his close ancestors helping the Nazis come to power by supplying them with weapons!

godwinned by the president!

President Bush has no concept of history or what generally comes out of his mouth. If one can't see the gut-wrenching irony in his remarks they are probably in the same boat.

Bush tells it like it is and Hitlery just can't stand it.

Too bad the world knows what and who she is now. Even her competition from the same side of the aisle knows it and calls her out on it repeatedly.

If you vote for Hitlery, you vote Republican, because they won't let Hitlery win!

way to go hillary they use the terrorist tacks to invade the americans privicey act.we need to get are men and women home and take care of are own .we havent solved anything in iraq.mr busch is making all our allieds made at us and not wanting to trust the united states .we need change bad before they all get mad at us,,,,,,,,,the usa

He must be desparate. Whenever desparate men open thier mouths they usually say dmb things such as this.

A better analogy would be to compare himself t these terrible men. After all, warrantless wire tapping, unreasonable seach and seizure, giving one man the power to strip a citizens constitutional rights or to act unilaterally, sounds like the same thing Hitler did when took power in Germany. OH and didn't Hitler lie to the prople to get them all behind him. Sounds familiar.

While obviously Bin Laden and Hitler are/were very evil men, the situation is really very different. I don't really think Bush really believes what he is saying. Does he really believe that the majority of the country would be stupid enough to believe him??!!??

Pretty strong comments from a Vietnam protestor turned President's personal health czar turned living off the public largesse. I predict if Hillary gets the democratic nod for President there will be the largest voter turnout in history. I'll crawl to the polls myself if that's what it will take.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said

No doubt George. That's why you're gonna get impeached and GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO.

There is nothing incorrect about what Bush stated. Hillary proves with her denials that she is not fit to be president.

They're paralyzed, President Bush. Elections are coming and they're more concerned about getting re-elected than doing the right thing.

Moveon.Org and Code Pink are symptomatic of a blame-America crowd which feels emboldened because the leaders in Congress (Nancy and Harry) approve of their antics.

Incredible as usual; isn't this the first time Bin Laden has been even mentioned by Bush in like 2 years? The press didn't even note it when Bush deactivated our "Bin Laden Unit" several months ago.
And, as usual, Bush has no understanding of devices such as analogies... if Lenin was the leader of Russia and Hilter was the leader of Germany, who is the counterpart for America???

“George Bush’s faulty and offensive historical analogies aren’t going to end the war in Iraq, make America safer or bring our troops home," the New York senator said Thursday in a statement. "Americans are tired of the president’s efforts to play politics with national security and practice the politics of division."

what a freakin joke. Bush is actually right on this. Of course, since so many Americans are ignorant fools who only look at the surface of things, they'll probably support her and actually think what she said makes sense.

Give me one reason why surveillance is bad. And don't say just "invasion of privacy." I'm talking specifically, why is it bad? Do people actually think that they're going to get hunted down for talking to one of their friends about smoking pot last weekend? It's national security stuff people, stop being so difficult.

Typical of Bush to use the politics of fear. It's just not going to work anymore. The American people have wised up to his "tricks" and can see exactly what he is trying to do. The man is a failure, he should just quietly finish out his term and go away.

I believe it is Bush that should worry about being considered in company with Hitler and Lenin. It is ideology of terror, arbitrary arrest and pre-emptive strikes that sickens me to my core. I hope that the public sees this statement by Bush for waht it is, and finally see Bush for what he is!

She just does not get it and never will...

Don't you just love our DECIDER-IN-CHEIF Also wasn't Hitler the one who said that the Immigrants were the cause of the decay of German Society, jobs and culture? hmmm... should we pay attention to the Republicans that feel we should take the "police state" tactic of deporting 12 million people back somewhere? – maybe the next brilliant Idea of the republican party will be a holding camp for all these people... don't you love history? we SHOULD learn from it.

Sadly Bush's comments regarding these past monsters and what they believed sounds familiar, these same ideas come from him. We had support after 9/11 and he blew it.
And so are we for not marching into Washington.
God support our soldiers.

It is Hitlery Rotten Clinton that is the demagogue who tries to have it both ways. It is Hitlery Rotten Clinton that is a proven most corrupt and crooked politicians in the US today. Lying, cheating and stealing are inherent to both of the clintons. For the good of the USA, Do not support the clinton scumbags.

So...is Hilary saying we should ignore bin Laden?

Thank you, Hilary, for putting Monkey Boy in his place. If ever a president deserved to be forgotten it is this one, but for the one truth: We need to remember how much damage can be done in 8 years by someone like Hit.....ooops.....BUSH! So that we never put someone like him in the White House again.

If Dumbya really said these things, does this ignorant pol have no shame?

ANSWER: NO!

Your headline makes it sound like Bush
compares people to Hitler. He doesn't.
He compares people who fail to see terrorism as a threat, and in his opinion, do not stand in the way of it, by not supporting the legistlation/procedures to fight it as comparable to those who failed to see the threat of communism and facism.
Nice attention grabbing headline, but not close to the truth.

Sloppy analogies are dangerous things. If Bin Laden = Hitler, then who does Bush think he is, Churchill? – or Roosevelt?
Obviously he doesn't compare on any level, but for starters: neither Churchill nor Roosevelt launched a pointless distracting war off on the side while ignoring Hitler – nor did they countanance torture nor announce they wer above the law.

Bush's speechwriters should think twice before going down this road.

Overheard in today's Clinton campaign strategy session:

"Let's hurry up and divert attention away from Hillary's flip-flop on giving licenses to illegals. I know – we'll bring up Bush's failure to end the war, but refuse to acknowledge our refusal to end all combat missions in Iraw of elected!"

"Brilliant!"

It's kind of a shame that we are so terrified of islamic terrorists that we've let this guy shred our Constitution for years. Also, it boggles my mind that we've let him assert new Presidential powers complettely unchallenged.

For the record Bush authorized this kind of extreme domestic surveilance before 9/11 (for all the good it did in stopping 9/11) and is currently working to give phone companies retroactive immunity for aiding him in breaking the law before 9/11.

How can you compare Lenin to Hitler? Lenin wrote books and Hitler killed millions of people. This man never fails to make me laugh. He should go now. He is unfit to govern, and this shows he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.

"History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," – George W. Bush, U.S. President.

Look who's talking! Are you referring to yourself, George? Don't worry, we don't underestimate a man who has illegally plundered the lands of others all for oil, money, and power. We fear you, and mourn those who have died in the wake of your administration's ravaging war-mongering ways. History will teach us that your words and your actions, you evil little man, were a terrible mistake that, unfortunately, very few people could stop.

Clinton is grasping for straws on this one. That sounds like a very weak argument.. "fault and offensive"?? I would have agreed with her had she said "dangerous and destructive" but I'd hardly call it 'offensive' to anyone. Where was she denouncing Bush's WWIII analogy? Meanwhile, she's off voting on the Iran Kyl-Lieberman legislation that says we must quote "contain, combat, and roll back" Iran's presence, and that the US may use against Iran the following, quote, "diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and MILITARY instruments"...

She does have one point though- America IS sick of politicians playing games with national security, and AMerica IS sick of partisan divisions. However, for her to try to act like her Republican-leaning vote on Iran wasn't playing games... or her constant shifting and weaving on any policy issue that comes up, never taking a firm stand... or how about secrecy in government... Hillary Clinton just wants us to ASSUME that her 8 years in the White House was great experience, but doesn't want to provide the evidence.

A name change isn't enough. It's time for REAL CHANGE in the White House, and Hillary CLinton isn't going to bring it.

Hillary is a toon!!! what a head case!!

W Bush is stupid enough to think we should have stayed in Vietnam and got more Americans killed and wounded over a proven needless war. How can we take him seriously when he's trying to give a history lesson?

In free nations, respect and loyality towards one's leaders is earned, not blindly given. And Bush has proven time and time again to be a failed leader totally unworthy of support.

Many on the far left have compared Bush to Hitler–a ridiculous comparison by any measure. Now Bush appears to be comparing bin Ladin to Hitler.

Both comparisons are preposterous, but they do bring up an interesting question: who's more like Hitler–Bush, or bin Ladin?
http://www.newsprism.com

Too bad we didn't pay attention when Bush was running for president and realized his propensity for being a fascist ruler.

As Bush went through talking about all of the leaders that the world ignored, he failed to mention one important person who ignored an evil leader. President George W. Bush was given advice from outgoing President Bill Clinton that Osama bin Laden should be considered the biggest threat to national security. A memo informed him and his administration that al Queda was "determined to strike within the United States." He ignored this and the citizens of this country have paid a terrible price. Now Bush is trying to turn his own ignorance around on the democrats who are trying to preserve the rights of the citizens of the United States. He ignored bin Laden for his own agenda. Then he turned Iraq into a staging ground for al Queda and now tries to force us to believe that al Queda was always there and there has always been a link between Iraq and al Queda. The only threat we need to concern ourselves with at this time is George W. Bush and any republican who continues to back his policies. In one year, elect Hilary Clinton and watch the U.S. gain its respect back!

Well, little Bush should know, since Prescott Bush (little's Grandpa) was to ONE responsilbe for suppling the NAZI war machine. Too bad the current Bush crimanal mind doesn't know his "own" history... or does HE!

p.s. Don't belive me, look it up!!

Bush is right – the United States should have supported Tsar Nicholas II just like we supported the Shah and support the Saudi royal family today. And we should pay no heed to the beliefs of peace-loving liberals – what do they think this is, a democracy? Let's be like Lenin and rule without consent of the governed!N

Democrats are not ignoring Bush. His analogy is spot-on. He is a lot like Hitler. Same playbook?

Unfortunately for our nation, our President needs to look in the mirror when making historical analogies involving Adolf Hitler. Is it not President Bush that has led our nation into an invasion and occupation of a foreign nation using trumped up and non-existent evidence? Is it our president that has demanded that our law enforcement agencies have all the tools required to spy on our own citizens - without search warrants? Is it not our president that has authorized the use of torture and confinement (without charges or legal representation) of our suspected enemies?

The sad thing is that our nation, not unlike 1930's Germany, has allowed our elected president to goose step our nation farther from the principles that has always made our country great.

And the world has been manipulated by George W. Bush and will pay a terrible Price. By the way I dont know where osama binladen is. I dont spend anytime worrying about it. Sound familiar George? George W Bush should be Behind bars or worse!He is a Donkey!

I have been a cradle Republican all my life. Conventional wisdom says that as you get older you get more conservative and therefore more aligned with the Republican view of government. In the present climate I feel that the “Compassionate Conservative” Bush is becoming more like Hitler who only wanted to make the world safe for Arians. I believe in the principal that “I do not agree with your point of view but I will defend to the death your right to express it.” Our society, lead by Bush, is moving toward the idea that “If you don’t agree with me you are a terrorist or (fill in your own negative label)”. It is much more important to save our civil liberties than to look for outside enemies. Maybe I am gaining wisdom in my old age and becoming more liberal and will definitely void for the Democratic candidate largely as a vote against the present administration and anyone who has aligned themselves with it.

I won't claim to think that bush wrote that speech. Regardless, it was one of his better ones.

"Americans are tired of the president’s efforts to play politics with national security and practice the politics of division."

- No Hilary, we're tired of the dems playing politics with our national security and our troops.

And why do you keep harping on this administration in your speeches? You aren't running against Bush or his admin... Oh, I know. It's easier to blame Bush than actually answer a question.

2009 can't come fast enough.

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON sounds nice!!!

Underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men? Sort of like America did when electing George Bush...

That's funny, Bush is more like Hitler or Stalin than anyone. It's more rhetoric from this failed administration. I'm sure the brainless neocons will follow their leader once again on this one too. Why doesn't Bush ever give a speech away from the Heritage foundation or a military base? Always has to be a friendly crowd for him.

Let's see, Bush ignored Osama who caused 9/11 and instead went after Saddom who had nothing to do with 9/11 and he's involved us in a war without end, brought down US world prestige and spent the Clinton surplus... and Bush is criticizing Dems?
I'm not buying anymore Bush BS!

Lord forbid, President Bush use the analogy when the dems have compared him to Hitler hundreds of times. How's that shoe fit on your stubby little feet Hillary? Not so fun when you are being called names, huh?

My only saving grace is that enough idiots actually vote her into office, I can retire from federal service. I had to put up with her first 8 years as President when she and her husband tried almost successfully to live out their hippy dreams of destroying the military, now I can just leave it and them behind! Be very affraid people.

Boy if I ever heard the pot calling the kettle black....or it takes one to know one....

In the years after 2000 and Bush's election (if you can call it that), Americans ignored the words of PNAC, and it's desire to create an American superpower, unbeatable by any other nation. With it's goals to control the middle east, beginning in Iraq. Absent the threat of a new "pearl harbor" (911) to control the masses this ideology would not have taken hold. Bush is just as dangerous as Lenin and Hitler. Bush is trying so hard to control everything and take our freedoms away from us. He is able to do this by constantly throwing fear down our throat.

I have just a few questions....if his thought processes make sense to some, why Iran? why Iraq? why not Pakistan? Why not North Korea? Why not Bin Ladin? Why not Saudi Arabia where the terrorists came from? I get rather tired of this fear mongering and insane follow the leader mentality. If we allow the sacrifice of all of our constitutional rights to further this PNAC agenda, we are no less guilty than the ignorance that followed Hitler.

It's time for congress to begin making some sense and not follow this insane leader and his croanies. Just look at the memos that recently came out from Rumsfeld. He was instrumental in manipulating the country into believing Iraq was involved in 911. Wake up America, before we lose our country too.

We cannot forget that when we want to be home, someone else wants to destroy us and our home. Don't let politics dissuade you from what is right. At the very least, don't rely on idleness for safety.

Hitler and Lenin used fear to manipulate their people into granting them unlimited power. That Bush would cite these men as examples in order to convince Americans to give up more of our civil liberties is beyond ironic.

Apparently this analogy of Hitler is a pre-emptive strike against what is inarguably the best description of Bush's policies. The terrorist strike that galvanized support for the holocaust that killed so many is repeating itself in our country. Stripping americans of their rights,then their citizenship, entirely by order of Homeland Security is so similar to gestapo tactics that no reasonable person could deny it. The failure of the German populace to prevent Hitler's rise must not be repeated. My grandparents fled,but I'm not fleeing. You can take my rights,you can take my money,and my property,but you'll have to take my life before I'll flee.

We have had 7 plus years of lies and distortions from this administration. Now we face 13 more months of mudslinging till the next election. Woe is us!

I really don't like her political standings and to each their own....but can CNN get 1 flattering photo of her?

Some of the one's I've been seeing on this ticker have made me cringe.

I say,
""History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake," Bush said. "In the early 1900s, the world ignored the words of Lenin, as he laid out his plans to launch a Communist revolution in Russia — and the world paid a terrible price.

“In the 1920s, the world ignored the words of Hitler, as he explained his intention to build an Aryan super-state in Germany, take revenge on Europe, and eradicate the Jews — and the world paid a terrible price," Bush continued. "George W. Bush and his facist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them. And the question is: Will we listen?"

And our continuing the war in Iraq and starting another in Iran will stop bin Laden how again?

See, she actually attacks the people she is supposed to attack....unlike her fellow dems who attack their own.

People should not ignore the talk regarding the formation of a third party due to the squabbling of the 2 main political parties and the lack of viable choices acceptable to most people within the 2 political parties.
Far worth than a Hitler or a Lenin could come forth.

Waitress: What will you have.

Me: I'd like some scare tactics with a side of idiocy.

Waitress: To drink?

Me: Bush kool-aid.

Is Bush really comparing Osama bin Laden to Hitler and Lenin? And how is the war in Iraq doing anything but enhancing the power of bin Laden and al Qaeda? And didn't the Allies vanquish the standing armies of the most feared military powers of that time in less time than it took to capture a single man with no standing army? Oh, wait a minute: bin Laden is still at large! And finally, does anyone really take anything Bush has to say seriously. His "war on terror" is a complete failure on all levels. Now he's reduced to using the rhetorical strategies of the very people he villified in his speech. Hitler and Lenin would no doubt be very proud.

Nice try, Hill.

We are not ready to move on from your disasterous performance in this week's debate.

Your support for granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens has guaranteed that you will not win the Presidential election in 2008.

Try and try as you may to change the subject, it will do you no good.

Both the Republicans and your fellow Democratic candidates will eat you alive for this horrible campaign mistake.

The American people will have the last word and you can be sure it will be bad news for you.

George Bush, the man who has destroyed the rule of law, who tortures people, who spys on fellow Americans, and who invades other countries, has the nerve to compare other Americans to Hitler. Impeach this man now!

Ha ha! Good one.

Bush has a lot of nerve, since his admin is much like the Brown Shirt Nazis in early '30s Germany, trying to use Hitler to attack others.

This mama's boy, and Grandma's boy, ha acted more like an American Hitler than anyone in U.S. history.

Accusing nearly half the country of helping terrorists in '03 because we, at least, knew war justifications were so much neo-con crap, when everyone knows that the number of terrorists has INCREASED since President Stupid and V.P. Fascist illegally started this war, means it's time for someone to challenge Bush to fisticuffs on the White House lawn.

I've had it with this junior Hitler creep.

"Bush continued. "Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them. And the question is: Will we listen?""

Oh no! Bush is "taking marching orders from Al Qaeda!"

Isn't strange that Bush envokes the name of Bin Laden when he was in office when 911 happened and George is also the one who took his eye off the target to start a senseless war.

is he wrong?

I guess its ok for one side to do it and not the other. No wonder I'm an Independent.

Hillary, just please go away, thank you.

Good for Hillary! Bush's new wave of aggressive comments is really frustrating. Thankfully Clinton leads all Republicans in the newly released general election poll from Florida!

The Bush family supported Hitler in WWII.

Verifiable.

This comparison proves Dennis Kucinich is right...Bush should be under the care of a mental heath professional.

But instead, we continue to allow this goof ball to keep his finger on the nuke button and talk of WW III.

Sad, very Sad.

I'm tired of Hillary critizing the very thing she supported. As a concerned democrat, we better wake up before it is too late with this idiot.

Isn't there something missing from that analogy? Hitler amassed more and more executive power, all the while citing his xenophobic and nationalist concerns as justification. Perhaps those legislators who do -not- oppose Bush's terrorist-surveillance program should be compared to those who ignored the rise of Hitler.

By the way, president Bush.....where is Bin Laden??? Have you ever asked his family.....you know....your business partners??

Bush seems content on going 100 mph towards the downward spiral of his failed legacy, instead of trying to salvage what he has left and make a difference in his last days in office.

But, then again, that would show signs of intelligence...........

George W Bush invoking Hitler is astounding if you consider his family supported Hitler's maniacal march and genocide during WWII.

If interested in the verifying the Bush families ties to the nazis just google Bush+fasist or Bush+family values.

Hillary has more integrity in one hair strand than the Bush's can muster collectively.

Are you kidding me, Bush aspires to the Hitler-esk persona, and that is sick.

ithin the last year, long after his death, a tape was released of Nixon talking to Kissinger in which he was reviling Jews. Also in the last year the personal daily diaries Reagan wrote while in office were released, again long after his daeth.

We know that the Republicans want to rummage through Clinton files to regurgitate the rubbish we heard during the the Clinton years. To divert Hillary from talking about what she is going to do to fix the Bush disasters, they want to find letters so that they can say "look what you wrote 12 years ago and now you say this" –Flip Flop" etc.

About $100,000,000 was wasted by Republicans investigating the Clintons. They found NOTHING on Hillary. She is perhaps the only politian who we know has been proven, by massive expensive exhaustive investigations to law abiding, ethical and truthful.

I recall the instance of missing "billing records". She told the investigators what she recalled about what was in them. They did not believe her. Then months later the records turned up. Someone had been put in the wrong place. The "billing records" stated exactly what Hillary had said. That is she was PROVEN TO BE TRUTHFUL.

The scoundrels that want to PAW through these files will not let the PEOPLE see the records of Cheney's Energy committee. You remember, members of this committee were recommended by Ken Lay,of ENRON. This may have been the reason for the IRAK war. They achieved their aim. OIL $100 a barral.

Kucinich is right, Bush is a mentally ill. Congress should start hearing to evualate his capacity to continue.
