The most-publicized portions of Rumsfeld's speech were in the same vein as Cheney's: Today's terrorists pose the same threat as yesteryear's Nazis; critics of the war in Iraq are like the appeasers before World War II; the real problem is that "the media" spreads "lies" and "myths" about how the war is going.



The real story: Dubya's Grandfather Prescott Bush charged with aiding the
Nazis under the Trading with the Enemy Act:

Six days after Pearl Harbor and the US declaration of war at the end of 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau and US Attorney General Francis Biddle signed the Trading With the Enemy Act, which banned any business interests with US enemies of war. Prescott Bush continued with business as usual, aiding the Nazi invasion of Europe and supplying resources for weaponry that would eventually be turned on American solders in combat against Germany.

On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government had had enough of Prescott Bush and his Nazi business arrangements with Fritz Thyssen. Over the summer, The New York Tribune had exposed Bush and Thyssen, whom the Tribune dubbed "Hitler's Angel." When the US government saw UBC's books, they found out that Bush's bank and its shareholders "are held for the benefit of ... members of the Thyssen family, is property of nationals ... of a designated enemy country."

1. I presented my republican parents with this juicy fact durning the 2K

(s)election. Their reply was oh, that's a myth. I don't believe that.

Why don't they believe it? Because it's not reported by the MSM as being 'real'. The fact that there is ample documentation of this, that it is, in fact, part of the historical record, doesn't seem to matter. :crazy:

4. They don't believe it simply because it doesn't fit their

world view. To assimilate new information is really a pretty extensive undertaking and it is just simpler to dismiss that which doesn't fit. It really is no more complicated than that.

7. yes, I'm aware of that, thanks

for pointing out the obvious.

I do not think it is complicated. I think it's nuts, and I think it will bring about the destruction of our species, not to mention a few thousand others.

2. Junta calling dissenters fascists is just more of their projection issue

Thank you for providing our viewers with some pertinent background. :thumbsup:

The Bush family true colors can been seen, if one looks beyond the images they have the media portray.

5. So maybe this is the time that our Democratic leaders start pointing

out the Bush comes from a long line of Nazi sympathizers.

6. Follow the money

Does this concept tie in with The Carlyle Group, a private bank which Bush Sr. invests in and which may be the next to buy the U.S. Ports?
