Comparing Saddam to Hitler again! Tsk, tsk. Condi sounds quite sophomoric.

WALLACE: Let's turn to Iraq talking now about rewriting the 2002 congressional authorization for the use of force in Iraq.

Given that our mission there has changed so dramatically over the last four years, don't they have a point?

RICE: We don't need to do anything but to allow the commanders on the ground — General Petraeus, who's gone out there as the new commander — to pursue the course that he and other commanders have put together and have recommended to the president. That's what we need to concentrate on as a country.

I know it's extremely difficult. And yes, as the president has said, we've now overthrown Saddam Hussein. We are in a different situation, even, some would say, a different war. But the consolidation of a stable and democratic Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein is a part of what America owes to the Iraqi people, owes to the region and owes to ourselves so that our own security is there.

Chris, it would be like saying that after Adolf Hitler was overthrown, we needed to change, then, the resolution that allowed the United States to do that so that we could deal with creating a stable environment in Europe after he was overthrown. It's a part of a continuum of what we're trying to do in Iraq.

As usual, the left ignores what she said so they can pounce on the stupid notion that she was comparing Saddam with Hitler. What do you expect from people who think they can get a do-over on a 5 year old vote?

The mere name "Olbermann" really says it all.

Perhaps the most juvenalistic simplistic idiotic "reporter" to grace the American TV screen in US history.

Only way he can be topped atm is for one of the news outlets to give a similar spot to Alex Jones.

Yes. Comparing Saddam to Hitler is very stupid. Similarly stupid is comparing the Iraq war to WW2, or comparing Saddam to bin Laden and al Qaeda. Lots of stupidity in this administration. Of course, if the comparisons become at least somewhat veiled, they become clever propaganda. You could say Rove is comparable to say...Goebbels (very subtle, I know).

Goodness me, the woman was using an analogy to illustrate her point. She wasn't comparing Hitler to Saddam at all.

Jeesh, I don't like her, but seriously - nitpicking is just the most infuriating form of political grandstanding.

That bolded word there, should tell you everything you need to know about this administration's mindset. That's the whole problem, right there in a nutshell.

Why do you think an "insurgency" suddenly developed, to fight off the "occupiers".... ???

Duh..... it seems that sometimes neither the left nor the right pick up on the important words....

They're too busy keying on stupid stuff like "Saddam" and "Hitler" (both of which are dead).... :yikes:

She didn't compare Saddam to Hitler? As if you guys didn't either. It's your sewer.

but I've heard that analogy too many times from neocons to think that it might be nitpicking. The neocon trick is to always fall back on stupid stuff like that and then everyone has to debunk it again.

When leftists draw comparisons between Bush and Hitler, or Bush and Nazis.... That's okay?

But not this Condi thing?
