Since Rummy brought up the whole Hitler thing perhaps some quotes...

[bushmeister0]

...are in order.

You pick the quote and match it to a neocon:

"I live only for the purpose of leading this fight because I know that if there is not an iron will behind it, the battle cannot be won." Hitler: 31 August 1944

"Certain unreliable elements seem to believe that the war will be over for them when they surrender to the enemy. Every deserter. . . will find his just punishment." Himmler 1945

Some notes from German Chief of the General Staff Franz Halder on Hitler before he was fired during the Russian campaign:

"The continual underestimation of enemy possibilities takes on grotesque forms and is becoming dangerous. Serious work has become impossible here. Pathelogical reactions to momentary impressions and a complete lack of capacity to assess the situation and its possibilities give this so-called "leadership" a most particular character.

Hilter's decisions had ceased to have anything in common with the priciples of strategy and operations as they have been recognized for generations past. There were the product of a violent nature following momentary impulses, which recognized no limits to possibility and made its wishdreams the father of its acts. . . "



Once when a quite objective report was read to him . . . Hitler flew at the man who was reading with clenched fists and foam at the corner of his mouth and forbade him to read any more of such idiotic twaddle."

When Hitler fired Halder he told him, "We need National Socialist ardor now, not professional ability. I cannot expect this of an offcier of the old-school such as you."

"So spoke," Halder wrote, "not a responsible warlord but a political fanatic."

From William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich:

And speaking of appeasers before WWII, how about W.'s grandfather? Here's an oldy but a goody from September 25, 2004:

The Guardian:

"George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism."
