Rummy accuses Bush critics of appeasing fascism! fascism, Isn't that Bushism?

Rummy accused critics of the Bush administration's Iraq and counter terrorism policies of trying to appease "a new type of fascism." What is that?


Our own axis of evil (Rummy, Bush, Cheney) would do well to listen to their own advice! First what is Rummy talking about, a new kind of fascism? Fascism, Dictionary description: A system of Government characterized by rigid one party dictatorship, forcible suppression of opposition. Isn't that a description to a T of Bushco? they are fond of calling the Islamist's, Islamist fascist's. Aren't they then fundamentalist fascist's?

Isn't it Rummy and Bushco that is suffering from moral and intellectual confusion? Listen to this!

In unusually explicit terms, Rumsfeld portrayed the administration's critics as suffering from "moral or intellectual confusion" about what threatens the nation's security and accused them of lacking the courage to fight back.
In remarks to several thousand veterans at the American Legion's national convention, Rumsfeld recited what he called the lessons of history, including the failed efforts to appease the Adolf Hitler regime in the 1930's.

I recount this history because once again we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism," he said.

Rumsfeld spoke to the American Legion as part of a coordinated White House strategy, in advance of the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, to take the offensive against administration critics at a time of doubt about the future of Iraq and growing calls to withdraw U.S. troops.

Rumsfeld recalled a string of recent terrorist attacks, from 9/11 to bombings in Bali, London and Madrid, and said it should be obvious to anyone that terrorists must be confronted, not appeased. But some seem not to have learned history's lessons," he said, adding that part of the problem is that the American news media have tended to emphasize the negative rather than the positive.

The negatives have been emphasized maybe because they by far dominate any positives. Also, what lessons has Bush learned from history? I haven't noticed that he has learned a damn thing that is why he is repeating it and we are in so much trouble!

Can we truly afford to believe somehow, some way, vicious extremists can be appeased?" he asked. I ask who the hell is saying we should appease terrorists?

Those who know the truth need to speak out against these kinds of myths and lies and distortions being told about our troops and about our country," he added.

That is exactly what we are attempting to do. You do not hear the truth ever. You can not trust anything Bushco says so we are forced to ferret it out ourselves. Isn't it Jack Nicholson that said "You can't Handle the Truth" That is a fact with Bushco!

I heard Bush say last night that he had no idea Rummy was speaking about this and that he had no plans to do so and I had already heard different. Secretary of State Rice was addressing the American Legion convention later Tuesday, and President Bush is scheduled to speak here later in the week. On Monday, Vice President Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld made separate addresses to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Reno, Nev.

Rumsfeld made similar arguments in Reno about doubters of the administration's approach to fighting terrorism, saying too many in this country want to "blame America first" and ignore the enemy. http://www.foxnews.com/....

The repub disinformation campaign is in full swing in an attempt to regain support for their corruptively inept actions worsened only by the fact that Bush is also following his own corruptive agenda from the beginning and it will all end in failure. http://www.anaveragepatriot.com/....
