RUMMY Compares Iraqis To Nazis
Rumsfeld: leaving Iraq like giving Nazis Germany
Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:24 AM ET


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Leaving Iraq now would be like handing postwar Germany back to the Nazis, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in a column published on Sunday, the third anniversary of the start of the Iraq war.

"Turning our backs on postwar Iraq today would be the modern equivalent of handing postwar Germany back to the Nazis," he wrote in an essay in The Washington Post.

Rumsfeld said "the terrorists" were trying to fuel sectarian tensions to spark a civil war, but they must be "watching with fear" the progress in the country over the past three years.

3. Actually, no
It's more akin the Nazis leaving Yugoslavia. The Serbians are the Sunnis and the Bosnians/Croats are the Shiites.

8. This is the latest Repuke talking point. Constantly compare
this to World War II, to keep from comparisons to Viet Nam. I'm sick of hearing such analogies, mainly because I know so many in this country are so ignorant of history that they'll buy into it.
