IZAN:

Bush, Blair compared to Nazi war criminals (The Sun-Herald, October 9, 2005)

A former chief UN weapons inspector has compared British Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George Bush to the Nazi war criminals who started World War II.

Scott Ritter, a former US marine, said the US and Britain's "aggressive warfare" in Iraq was similar to German actions in Europe 66 years ago.

"Both these men could be pulled up as war criminals for engaging in actions that we condemned Germany in 1946 for doing the same thing," he said. "Tony Blair and George Bush are guilty of the crime of planning and committing aggressive warfare."


So if they're the Nazis is Saddam this war's Churchill or FDR?

How silly for you to make this inference:

"...So if they're the Nazis is Saddam this war's Churchill or FDR?..."

The topic was acts of Bush and Blair... not Saddam!

This cannot be taken seriously. Hitler committed the war crime; Bush won.

It should be obvious -- Saddam is this war's Stalin.

Scott Ritter received $400,000 from a beneficiary of Saddam's oil-for-palaces program. Wikipedia

No, FDR and Churchill left that genocidal tyrant in control of his own and neighboring countries.

The $400,000 Ritter received from Saddam is long gone, purchasing the favors of underage teenage girls - like the one he was caught with (and arrested with) near Albany, N.Y.
