Washington-AP -- The White House isn't happy that a Germany government minister compared President Bush to Hitler.
Germany's justice minister (Herta Daeubler-Gmelin) told some labor union members yesterday that Bush was going after Iraq to divert attention from domestic problems.
A German paper quoted her as saying "That's a popular method. Even Hitler did that."
White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer calls the statement "outrageous and inexplicable."
But Fleischer tried to downplay the impact the statement will have on the U-S relationship with Germany. It's taken a hit lately, over differences on Iraq.
Fleischer says the two nations have a "very long and valuable" relationship.

Sort of pointless to hang a label on me since I have a point of view that few of the sheep follow. My point was simply that whenever ANY government has major political problems, one of the first decisions is to go find a war somewhere to get involved in, the divert the attention of the electorate. It works very well. Remember the movie, "Wag the Dog"?

Save yourself some energy and dont bother. There's a fable about wolves in sheep's clothing. In this case, it happens to be a grade-A Kalifornia-class coward of a Liberal in a set of "independent" clothing.
Remember, this is the same little puke who insists that a Palestinian who makes a suicide bomb from rusty screws and powdered rat-poison and blows himself up in a pizza shop is utterly justified and honorable.
I think he'd be happier with a one-way ticket to Iraq (to be with the people he loves so), but he hasnt taken me up on that offer yet. Maybe we can get a board fundraiser going?

Berlin-AP -- Germany's justice minister denies a report that she will step down for allegedly making an indirect comparison between President Bush and Adolf Hitler.
A German newspaper (Bild) reports that the justice minister plans to announce her resignation after the polls close in today's national election.
The minister called the report "malicious rumors."
A newspaper quoted her as saying that President Bush, like Hitler, was trying to divert attention from troubles at home by focusing on international threats.
She denied making the comparison.

BUSH'S WAR PLANS ARE A COVER-UP, SENATOR BYRD SAYS
Saturday September 21, 2002
By Paul J. Nyden
STAFF WRITER
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., said President Bush's plans to invade Iraq are a conscious effort to distract public attention from growing problems at home.
"This administration, all of a sudden, wants to go to war with Iraq," Byrd said. "The [political] polls are dropping, the domestic situation has problems.... So all of a sudden we have this war talk, war fervor, the bugles of war, drums of war, clouds of war.
"Don't tell me that things suddenly went wrong. Back in August, the
president had no plans.... Then all of a sudden this country is going to war," Byrd told the Senate on Friday.
"Are politicians talking about the domestic situation, the stock market, weaknesses in the economy, jobs that are being lost, housing problems? No."
Byrd warned of another Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Passed on Aug. 7, 1964, that resolution handed President Lyndon Johnson broad powers to escalate the war in Vietnam, a conflict that cost 58,202 American lives and millions of Asian lives.
"Congress will be putting itself on the sidelines," Byrd told the Senate. "Nothing would please this president more than having such a blank check handed to him."
Byrd said his belief in the Constitution will prevent him from voting for Bush's war resolution. "But I am finding that the Constitution is irrelevant to people of this administration."
Sens. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., both praised Byrd after he spoke.
"It is the height of patriotism to ask such hard questions," Clinton said. "No one exemplifies that more than the senior senator from West Virginia."
Byrd said, "Before the nation is committed to war, before we send our sons and daughters to battle in faraway lands, there are critical questions that must be asked. To date, the answers from the administration have been less than satisfying."
Byrd repeatedly said Bush has failed to give members of Congress any
evidence about any immediate danger from Iraq. Byrd also criticized his speech to the United Nations.
"Instead of offering compelling evidence that the Iraqi regime had taken steps to advance its weapons program, the president offered the U.N. more of a warning than an appeal for support.
"Instead of using the forum of the U.N. General Assembly to offer evidence and proof of his claims, the president basically told the nations of the world that you are either with me, or against me," Byrd said.
"We must not be hell-bent on an invasion until we have exhausted every other possible option to assess and eliminate Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction program. We must not act alone. We must have the support of the world."
Byrd said Congress needs solid evidence and answers to several specific questions, including:
Does Saddam Hussein pose an imminent threat to the U.S.?
Should the United States act alone?
What would be the repercussions in the Middle East and around the globe?
How many civilians would die in Iraq?
How many American forces would be involved?
How do we afford this war?
Will the U.S. respond with nuclear weapons if Saddam Hussein uses chemical or biological weapons against U.S. soldiers?
Does the U.S. have enough military and intelligence resources to fight wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while mobilizing resources to prevent attacks on our own shores?
Byrd said the proposed resolution Bush sent Congress on Thursday would be the "broadest possible grant of war powers to any president in the history of our Republic. The resolution is a direct insult and an affront to the powers given to Congress."
Byrd also criticized Bush's request for power to carry out "pre-emptive attacks" and send troops to Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, the West Bank and anywhere else in the Middle East.
"I cannot believe the gall and the arrogance of the White House in
requesting such a broad grant of war powers," Byrd said. "This is the worst kind of election-year politics."
