2. Bush's ignorance of history

Bush is pretty fucking ignorant of History. Even his followers will realize that the current US situation is NOTHING like that faced by England during the blitz.

Bush is a LOT more like Moussilini. Who screws up EVERY operation he endeavours on.

4. Are those who forget history fated to repeat it?

After winning his war, Churchill was voted out of office.

6. No way. Not even close.

Indeed, Bush is a LOT more like Moussilini.

There is very little of Churchill in Bush. I can only guess that Little George must think that because both Winston and he came from privileged families, that makes them similar.

But, Churchill was an intellect, by himself wrote scores of books. Churchill was student of history, Bush was a student of drinking and high jinks. Churchill volunteered for several wars, was captured in Africa, even went to the front lines in WW1 after the Gallipoli fiasco. Which brings up another point, Churchill took responsibility for his failures, Bush lies and denies.

Winston like George W?

No way. Not even close.
