Rudy Ghouliani's insane neocon Warlord-In-Chief |
While Rudy might be a pathological liar, at least he's got sane,
sensible people like Norman Podhoretz backing him up.
Podhoretz - who happens to be one of Giuliani's foreign policy
advisers - appeared on PBS last week and announced that not wanting to
bomb Iran is like appeasing Hitler.
According to Think Progress:

PODHORETZ:
First, I want to say that I think the attitude expressed by Fareed
Zakaria represents an irresponsible complacency that I think is
comparable to the denial in the early '30s of the intentions of Hitler
that led to what Churchill called an unnecessary war involving
millions and millions of deaths that might have been averted if the
West had acted early enough. (...)
Let me respond to that.
You know, similar arguments were made about Hitler in the early '30s,
and it appalls me that this kind of attitude can still prevail after
what we should have learned from the words of despots.
Okay, stop right there.
You had me at "it appalls me that this kind of attitude can still
prevail after what we should have learned..."
You mean, like the invasion of Iraq, for example?

Don't worry though, because George W. Sane And Sensible Bush is in
charge.
And here's what he had to say about the situation in the Middle East
last week...

Warning that the passage of time may have tempted some to think that
the threats that became apparent on Sept. 11, 2001, "have grown
distant as well," he said emphatically:
"They have not. The terrorists who struck America that September
morning intend to strike us again."
Bush said that in the early 1900s, the world ignored Lenin as he
presented his plans for communist revolution, and in the 1920s it
ignored Hitler.
"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?" Bush said.
So let me get this straight.
Iran is like Nazi Germany and if we don't go bomb them right this
minute then the terrorists will win, and Osama bin Laden is like
Hitler and if we don't bomb Iran then...
Wait a minute.
This all sounds strangely
