15. In the context given, there is no comparison

The statement is made to refute the Bush-Hitler analogies. One could also say that Hitler was a thief: he seized property without cause and expropriated items from death camp victims, including gold teeth. But that was incidental to murder. Bush murdered to be sure, but that was incidental to the theft of Iraq's oil. If Bush could have seized Iraq's oil on behalf of his corporate pals without killing any one (except Saddam, perhaps), he would have done so.
