Mugabe likens Bush and Blair to fascists
Robert Mugabe used a United Nations platform on Monday to compare George W. Bush and Tony Blair to Europe's fascist-era leaders.
-snip-

"Must we allow these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed their unholy alliance, formed an alliance to attack an innocent country?" news agencies quoted Mr Mugabe as saying. "We did not agree with Saddam Hussein, but we accorded to the people of Iraq their right to decide who should lead them."

Mr Mugabe was applauded after he spoke as the last of nine leaders to address the conference. The Venezuelan and Brazilian leaders also hit at US foreign policy.

4. I expect he meant that Mugabe positively "identified" them
as fascists, rather than invoked a similarity!
