Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday accused critics of the Bush administration's
Iraq and counterterrorism policies of trying to appease "a new type of fascism."

In unusually explicit terms, Rumsfeld was expected to portray the administration's critics as suffering from "moral and intellectual confusion" about what threatens the nation's security and accused them of lacking the courage to fight back.

In remarks prepared for delivery to the American Legion's national convention, Rumsfeld was to recite what he will describe as the lessons of history, including the failed efforts to appease the regime of Adolf Hitler in Germany in the 1930s.

"I recount this history because once again we face the same kind of challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism" Rumsfeld's text said.

I think the projection is intentional - they use it as a tool...

8. You are right.

Always look to Don Rumsfailed for the truth.

He's getting close to biting the dust, and this is his way of announcing publicly all the rotten things he's done.:smoke:

6. "moral and intellectual confusion"

Isn't that Rummy's middle name?

9. Rummy sounds just like Joseph Goebbels

Whenever some unavoidable difficulty pops up, the kind of thing that always happens, they are immediately inclined to doubt everything and to throw the baby out with the bath water. To them difficulties are not there to be mastered, but rather to be surrendered to.

One cannot make history with such quivering people. They are only chaff in God's breath. Thankfully, they are only a thin intellectual or social upper class, particularly in the case of Germany. They are not an upper class in the sense that they govern the nation, but rather more a fact of nature like the bubbles of fat that always float on the surface of things.

(snip)

One does not need to take them all that seriously. They do not like us, but they do not like themselves any better. Why should we waste words on them? They are always living in the past and believe in success only when it has already happened, but then waste no time in claiming credit for it.

The people want nothing to do with these intellectual complainers. The year 1938 was filled with great and sometimes unnerving tension. But they are delighted at the close of this year with the Führer's great historical successes.

This people are once more happy about life. Never before has there been such a happy Christmas as that of a week ago, and never before have we looked forward with so much confidence and courage to a new year as we do to 1939.
