North Korea compares Bush to Hitler
North Korea denounced U.S. President George W. Bush as a "wicked man" comparable to Adolf Hitler, and labeled his advocating democracy a pretext for invading other countries.

Bush, addressing South Korea-based U.S. troops Sunday during an Asian tour, didn't directly mention the North but alluded to the communist nation as he praised the capitalist South.

South Korea "is now a beacon of liberty that shines across the most heavily armed border in the world," Bush said. "It is a light reaching to a land shrouded in darkness."

The North said Bush's "reckless remarks would entail adverse consequences in the process for denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula." KCNA called Bush a "warlike president" who "took the lead in advocating state-sponsored terrorism" and "openly defended murderous torture in prisons" -- which it claimed were reminiscent of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

11. LOL or a better voice of moral reason than *?
Kim is a paranoid dictator who starves his people and controls his media ignoring
floods and natural disasters. He also has a military and a intelligence agency that is out of control.

5. Godwin is smiling.

I would like to add my own 21st Century corollary:

The longer the Bush Administration remains in power, the probability of it becoming indistinguishable from Hitler's Third Reich approaches 1.

10. You think without the constitutional checks in the US,

Bush and his people wouldn't subject Americans to indignities similar to North Korea?

8. Every time North Korea makes a statement like this,
the hair on my back stands up. This war of words and verbal brinkmanship is dangerous. The fact that Bush is willing to engage Kim Jong Il is just beyond stupidity.

I'm not even sure if Bush takes them seriously.

We should NEVER discount what they say.

16. Bush is Hitler, says Kim’s Korea

Bush is Hitler, says Kim’s Korea

Associated Press

SEOUL, Nov. 22. — North Korea denounced Mr George W Bush as a “wicked man’’ comparable to Adolf Hitler, and labeled his advocating democracy a pretext for invading other countries.

“The US admonition for ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ is to invent pretexts for violating sovereignty of other countries and nations and establishing its unchallenged domination over the world,’’ the North’s official Korean Central News Agency wrote late yesterday.
Mr Bush, addressing South Korea-based US troops on Sunday during an Asian tour, didn’t directly mention the North but alluded to the communist nation as he praised the capitalist South.

South Korea “is now a beacon of liberty that shines across the most heavily armed border in the world,’’ Mr Bush said. “It is a light reaching to a land shrouded in darkness.’’ Together the USA and (South Korea) have shown that the future belongs to freedom, and one day all Koreans will enjoy the blessings of freedom,’’ he said.

The North said Mr Bush’s “reckless remarks would entail adverse consequences in the process for denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.’’ KCNA called Bush a “warlike president’’ who “took the lead in advocating state-sponsored terrorism’’ and “openly defended murderous torture in prisons’’ which it claimed were reminiscent of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

I don't give a rat's ass what Kim wants me to think of him...with his harem of women and luxurious life style while his people starve...

Bush and Cheney may be scoundrels, liars, cheats, and elitist pigs but they pale in comparison to this devil
